Recent treatment of multiple rooms
Can anyone speak to any recent experiences with extending Globalist benefits to multiple rooms? I booked 4 rooms, 1 of which has been upgraded with a TSU to a Grand Suite. Specifically, I’d like to know if they will extend Club access to all guests. Thanks.

I saw a few people sitting in the lounge all afternoon. I got some snacks earlier, then came back for hor d'voueres.
But then, seeing that one lady was in a wheelchair, I thought about how she couldn't really go outside and do stuff. And didn't think she is hogging a good window seat. Because she really has nothing else. It is quite sad, actually (she had quite a miserable expression on her face).

Haven't stayed in a Hyatt since I was a child but I have some Hyatt bookings in 2019 owing to the good value of Chase->Hyatt transfers. I like that Hyatt allows far out bookings; I've booked a three night stay here near the end of Dec 2019 and was able to upgrade from the base 3000HKD room to a 6000HKD Grand Suite for 6000 points a night. Will be moving to the Ritz-Carlton for Dec 30&31 for the views though. Coming from SPG/Marriott I don't really get the economics of Hyatt allowing suite upgrades with lounge access for such a small amount of points, even if it's just a base level suite.
If anyone who has stayed here before knows a recommended floor/view that I could put in as a request I'd appreciate it.

Just ask for a room on a higher floor to be as far away from the construction site below as possible. All Grand Suites have the same view.
All Grand Suites only come with angled-harbour view (aka Central + harbour view). The only room with both direct and angled-harbour view is the Executive Room, which cannot be redeemed with points.

Yes, it will be. Construction of the new Exhibition station will be ongoing through 2021.

It's not enough to make me cancel or anything, but that is unfortunate.

What I think was once called the executive suite with the much better view is now called the Victoria Harbour Suite, which is also much larger at 90m vs 65 m2 for both the Grand Suite and the Grand Executive Harbour Suite.

Since they changed the naming of the suites, both the Grand Suite and the Grand Executive Harbour Suite are exactly the same room layout with exactly the same view direction. The Grand Suites are on floors 12-19 and the Grand Executive Harbour Suites are on floors 20 and higher. Only the Grand Suites are confirmed with a TSU, although I've read posts of getting the further upgrade to a higher floor.

That's pretty funny if that's really the case because the executive one is listed as a premium suite and I asked if the 9000 point upgrade was available which it was not. I did notice both were 65m2 but I assumed the executive one must have a better view beyond just being on a higher floor. I suspect as a status-less pleb, I will receive floor 12.
The Grand Suites and Grand Executive Harbour Suites are all on the same corner of the building, just the floors are different.
One other advantage to the hotel by designating the higher floor suites as premium suites is it cut in half the number of suites available for upgrade on a TSU.
Request a higher floor and I'm sure they'll do their best but it is unlikely they'll move you up a category past 19F unless they have overbooked the Grand Suite.

From the 26th floor. A normal harbour-facing king room.
I guess construction is visible, and may ruin the photo. But so does glass, which makes for reflections (particularly at night, with lights). If you want no glass you can go down to the pool area.
