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.

I find (as the famous saying goes) that a photo is worth a 1000 words!
The only problem I have with my own 20K+ photos is where to easily find the relevant ones!

Just spent 4 nights here. DSU upgrade to executive suite. Much nicer than the same suite level 3 years back. Service seems to be improved also although maybe it's the time of year. Also the evening club spread is delicious! Very impressed with this stay.

1) Lower driveway entrance
2) Smoking outdoor corner close to Spazzo and Bin 555 (this one not many people know about)
3) Spa Photos
Have fun
By the way that entrance that is being discussed I use all the time- cut through from the Four Seasons to the BTS Chidlom stop.

Stunning post, Kalboz. While I've enjoyed staying at this hotel, I (jokingly) feel as if the check-in agents were remiss in never telling me that the hotel had fish (the living, not restaurant-plated, type) when explaining services and amenities.
