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.

What's not cool is when a tourist enables, or even encourage, the behavior of scamming tourist and going against the rules laid out by the Thai government. This kind of uncertainty in price may ultimately drive the demand for cabs down, which in turn hurts the cab drivers themselves. We already have a few anecdotal evidence from this post, where one would rather take the train to avoid the high probability of getting scammed. I for one take the car service provided by the airport (I think it's 1200 baht) since I hate getting bilked by cab drivers.
Stop enabling these cab drivers and exercise your right to a fair fare.

Enough said!

There is plenty of space for roll away beds. Just make sure the hotel knows how many guests will be in the room.

Thanks LIH Prem
I have now started a wikipost that includes everything I know about airport transportation to and from the hotel. I hope others can add anything that I have missed, such as information about public transportation between the airport and the hotel, or more information about AOT or other car services. I hope that what I wrote was useful and sufficiently concise.
Hopefully others will add other important information or FAQs

Just a quick post, spent 1 night at GH and 1 night at Conrad. Haven't stayed at GH for 3 years. The renovation is great - I really liked the rooms, gym/spa were excellent, lounge spread for breakfast was just OK IMO, unfortunately didn't have chance to visit lounge for evening service. Also thought Conrad was good as well but my preference would be GH. On transportation - opted for cabs - paid 650 from airport that was for 3 of us in people carrier so I think its a little more expensive. On return paid 400 from hotel for 1 person in normal taxi.

I stayed here for the first time in September.
What really impressed me was that almost every staff greeted us as we walked from the entrance to the front desk.
Is that the usual case?
I have a review with mainly pictures (I was upgraded to a deluxe room but I do not have any elite status!)
at my blog for anyone interested.

Just wanted to give a warning to everyone that this property has introduced a new category suites.
The old grand suites on the 16th - 22nd floor are now called grand executive suites... The old grand excutive suites are now called premier suites.
There is only one floor with grand suites anymore : 11th. That mean 4 suites for upgrades, instead of 30 a year ago.

Amazing Hyatt Bangkok
Hello, Staying here at Hyatt Erawan for the past two weeks. I switched here fron Conrad at the end of 2012. Hilton/ Conrad was no longer the best option for me.
We all have wants and requirements and now Grand Hyatt Erawan is perfect for me.
Since the renovations rooms are nice and modern, the breakfast in the lobby is excellent ( I seldom eat on the club floor for breakfast), the staff is friendly and helpful, hotel is next to the Skytrain so getting around is easy, pool and gym are nice and modern.
Have stayed in hotels in Bangkok since the 80's starting with Kempenski on Soi 11 (long since gone).
I stayed at the Conrad for several years, as well as several other hotels.
The purpose of this post is to inform new visitors to Bangkok of this wonderful hotel
Happy New Year
