It seems to me that FT ers are often disapointed with their international Hyatt experience because of their level of expectation.

There is lots of wriggle/squirm room in the Hyatt GP T&C and we should all take a fresh look at the T&Cs from time to time.

Consider:

Diamond Members will: Enjoy an upgrade to a Regency®/Grand® Club room, based on availability, with entree to a private lounge that includes complimentary Continental Breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres. In the event that Regency/Grand Club rooms are not available, you will receive an upgrade to the best room available and access to the Regency Club Lounge or daily complimentary continental breakfast.*

*Upgrade excludes Suites. Lounge access is not available at Hyatt Resorts worldwide and hotels outside the U.S. and Canada.

I have stayed in Hyatts (not the GH Beijing) where I have received an upgrade to a higher quality room but denied breakfast because their policy was upgrade OR breakfast but not both.

We should not be so certain with regard to international properties - and this is one of the reasons that I am more and more migrating to Hilton
