Airport Transportation
The following thread and its wiki provide all the information one needs to know about taking a taxi from Suvarnabhumi Airport: Catching a Taxi at BKK and general Thailand taxi discussion [SEE WIKI FIRST] The wiki discusses the breakdown of taxi fares from the airport to central Bangkok where Grand Hyatt Erawan is located, and addresses the possibility of being slightly overcharged by a taxi driver.
Alternatively, Grand Hyatt Erawan offers airport transfers in its own fleet of silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class and E-class sedans. The prices of these service are S-Class THB 3,300 (net) per one way transfer (per post 1976) and E-Class THB 2,500 (per post 1975) to or from Suvarnabhumi Airport. Guests using this service will be greeted by a representative at the airport, assisted with their luggage, and escorted to the waiting car.
For an additional charge, the hotel can also arrange "Fast Track" (VIP lane) immigration clearance, as well as the option of being met at one's arrival gate by a buggy and escorted through Fast Track immigration. This service is available for THB 1,600+ 7% vat per person, or THB 2,400+ 7% vat per person to include Golf Cart and porter services.
AOT (and perhaps other companies) also provide transfers from and to the airport. Various vehicle types are available at different price points: Camry (THB 1,200 one way), Mercedes E-Class (THB 2,400 one way).
I always use http://www.limousine.in.th for my car needs in BKK incl airport transfers. 1050 THB from BKK to the city, 900 THB city to BKK (incl tolls).
UBER no longer operates in Thailand. Instead, use GRAB. Similar to UBER, prices will vary. On my trip, I was able to get a GRAB for 364 THB from BKK.
Taxi should run between 400-500 THB. If going from the hotel to BKK, the hotel will quote 500 THB. I had to wait for a few taxi's as the first two didn't want to do unless I paid 750 THB.

It was more like 550 THB that last time I did it, with no traffic. 75 THB in tolls, 50 THB airport fee, and around 400 THB on the meter.

We recently stayed in a corner room. 2 issues:
1. Both power supply connections near desk are useless. You cannot plug-in, as glass top on desk comes in the way of the power adapter. Poor design.
2. No door between room/hallway and toilet.

I assume yours was the standard shower, toilet, wash basin, bath (from left to right) as well? Then the shower has a glass door but the toilet a sliding wooden door.

It was a standard corner room on 10th floor. Facing the bathtub, from left to right it was shower, bath tub, wash basin and toilet. The toilet was nearest to washroom entrance near front door.

Are you sure there wasn't a pull out / sliding door hidden in the wall?

I'm going to be landing at 12:25 am on 1/24 so I plan on hitting the hotel around 3:00 am. Does anyone have experience with checking in at this time of night at this property? Is reserving a room for the 23rd guaranteed for late checkin my only option?

Of course you need to pay for the room for the night of the 23rd. That you will be arriving at 3:00 am doesn't make a difference to the hotel. They need to pre-block the room for you anyway, so from their perspective it's a room they can't sell to someone else on the 23rd. Unless you want the hotel staff to laugh at you, do not ask for a complimentary 3 a.m. check-in.
