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.

Also have a stay coming up and booked the 3rd night free. Oddly, when I requested to use a DSU I was told no upgrades were available, but two minutes later I received an e-mail confirming I had been moved to a suite and my account showed one of my upgrades had been redeemed. Not complaining

THB 3000 oneway airport transfer is highway robbery though ! I still remember it being THB 1500 !
May I ask what rate is that per night then? Thanks!

Those services can be booked separately for less through Bangkok Flight Services and AOT, but I can see the advantage of doing it all upfront through the hotel. The hotel's add-on is not outrageous.

Are BKK taxis like the SIN ones...where the trunk space in the taxis may be limited? (due to those CNG thingies in the regular taxis in SIN).
I am debating on the hotel limo.....as we will have 3 pieces of luggage.

How much will a meter taxi cost from airport to the hotel?

I would recommend the AOT limo service. I've had some pretty ratty cabs ex-BKK. You can get the Mercedes E for something like 1600 THB. There are kiosks both in the baggage claim area and after you clear customs.
