It appears to be bookable again now, and my reservation shows up under my upcoming stays.

Mine too

I guess this appears to be a case of the "sky is falling" when it was not?

Everyone can calm down now. The property is back up on the Hyatt site! I loved reading all of the doomer comments from 777 though...

Are they with Hyatt going forward? and is the former sporting club access still available to WOH guests?
End of doomer comments otherwise ;)
My conversation with the hotel prior to reopening was no access to former Sporting Club
For myself that was 70% of my deciding to stay at the property for decades and a proper breakfast
Location too sweet

Odds the renovations finishes in the next month? I've got a room booked for a wedding in a month and I'm wondering if I should book a backup room...

Update - gave them a call - they're soft opening on 10/1 for an event, and planning to soft open for existing reservations in mid-October for a full opening on 11/1.

Currently have the Hyatt Centric booked for mid-Nov... wondering if it is a good idea to switch over. Tempted to do it for the Unbound brand explorer.

People posting in the Hyatt FB group that it is moving from Hyatt. I still see my free night reservation for next year so who knows.

Can anyone with recent stay experience confirm if the valet parking can be charged to room (so free for Globalist on award nights)? Thanks a lot.

I booked with points specifically for the parking, the cash rate wasn't too bad ($500 for two nights after tax, gotta thanks the phily tax), while points is 30k for two nights.

The hotel is under renovation right now and is closed. Parking was covered for Globs on award stays before and I would expect that to remain but double check with them when they reopen. In the meantime, the HC nearby does cover parking for Globs on award stays.

Website refreshed and clearly states that guest have access to The Sporting Club.
Currently only doing group reservations, but is taking individual reservations for stays in Nov
Will visit next week so will be able to confirm more details then

Thanks for the heads up
That would bring me back for certain to try out the new digs👍
Hopefully the renovation is solid too

I stayed this past weekend. Definitely some re-opening pains - housekeeping wasn't fully trained (said they didn't have things, e.g. lint mitt, that they actually did) and the key readers into the building for after-hours access wasn't installed/working, but it was a decent stay. Not sure what they had before, but the room had "Who is Elijah - Nightcap" toiletries which smelled pretty good to me. I used points to book, and they told me that valet would be covered (Discoverist on the verge of Explorist), so I'd assume Globalist valet would also be covered. I had access to the Sporting Club which was very nice. However, the bridge connecting the two building was locked with a chain, so you have to exit, go across the alley, and go into the other building. Not a big deal since it was dry but could get annoying if it's cold and raining/snowing.

The rooms look like a canopy hotel maybe not as nice though reflecting on a historical past.
Do the rooms bathrooms look better in person?
Did you dine there?
I certainly see some improvement but was hoping for more
luxury touches room interior wise.
Website could be better with the photos especially after all that investment!
