Yes for award stays, no for paid stays, but call hotel to verify the info below. Please post a reply when you find out.

At a World of Hyatt level, the rule is that Globalists get complimentary parking only on nights booked with a Free Night Award, not on cash rates. Hyatt’s own FAQ says Globalists “do not receive free parking on a paid night’s stay,” and the program terms say the benefit applies at participating Hyatt hotels/resorts for nights when the Globalist stays on a Free Night Award.

For Grand Hyatt San Francisco, the hotel does offer both valet parking at the hotel entrance and self-parking at the nearby Sutter-Stockton Garage (444 Stockton St.) with in-and-out privileges for hotel guests.

The key catch is Hyatt’s parking benefit only works at hotels “where parking can be charged to your room.”

So the practical bottom line is: Booking on points or a Hyatt free night award: usually yes, as a Globalist, if the parking charge is routed to your room folio. Booking on cash: no, Globalist does not get free parking just for being Globalist.

Because Grand Hyatt San Francisco uses a nearby garage for self-parking, I would not assume every parking workflow is automatically folio-linked. The safest move is to ask the hotel to confirm whether self-parking at Sutter-Stockton Garage or valet can be billed to your room and therefore covered on your award stay. Their published hotel number is +1 415-398-1234.

My best read: award stay = likely free parking for Globalist; cash stay = no.
