Yup! It was opened as Park Hyatt Johannesburg on November 27th, 1995.

I'm trying to book a one night stay in May, but availability only shows for two night reservations for both cash/points options. Its actually the first time I've come across this (for a paid stay), so I had no idea that hotels are allowed to do this... the obvious answer would be to make a two night booking and attempt to trim it down to one, but wanted to check if anyone has done this on a paid rate (i know its sometimes possible on an award stay)

Yep I'd thought of that too, decided it might not be worth the hassle, will probably just stay in Monterey instead

Unless you are stuck on staying at a Hyatt property, there is an equally nice hotel right next to the Highlands Inn and which has the same ocean views. They do take one night reservations. Check out the Tickle Pink Inn (don't be put off by the name - it's not a whore house).

Also, it looks like Tickle Pink Inn's remaining room types are allocated to two night min stays too...

Yup, I love Carmel-by-the-sea! The intent was to spend a day hanging out in Carmel-by-the-sea before heading down to Big Sur, but I didn't realize so many places would have a 2 night minimum. Any suggestions on hotels? L'auberge also has a two night stay minimum =(

honestly not that surprising that you are struggling if you are trying to stay saturday night only. I've seen the same thing in Napa as well. Sometimes things open up just before hand, but sometimes not...

Ended up making a flexible booking at Marriott Monterey which has no min. stay requirements, will check closer to the date to see if any of the above mentioned hotels open up availability for one night stay. Thanks all for the help =)

That's not a great choice. Here are some other choices that are right on or just across the street from the water and have great views. . I checked in mid-April, to see if they allowed a one night stay on a Friday or a Saturday: Spindrift Inn on Cannery Row and the Seven Gables Inn in Pacific Grove.
