Bali Hyatt club really impressed me. The food was very good and there were plenty of options. The staff couldn't have been more friendly or more helpful. The only drawback was the coffee. Man, that stuff was terrible, but the smoked marlin, the brie, the muesli, the omelets, and basically everything else they offered more than made up for the bad coffee....also the lattes and cappuccinos made up for the bad coffee.

My favorites -
Grand Hong Kong - top floor views, excellent food
Istanbul - great service
Mainz - nice view of river & food
Berlin - good food
London Churchill
In the US not quite the same calibre, but my favorites are generally at the resorts (glad they changed the diamond rules to include them now)
Kauai
Scottsdale
Grand Cypress
Indian Wells

Yes, Hyatt tried twice to have a hotel in Brussels. In the 70's there was a first attempt with a brand new construction Rue Royale just behind the Botanical Garden. The second attempts in the 90's was the Tagawa Hotel - rebranded Hyatt - Avenue Louise. In both cases, location were not good and it did not last long. By the way, the Brussels Barsey had no club lounge. There was also an attempt to have a Hyatt in Antwerpen in the 90's. Except for some sales meeting with the European Union offices, Hyatt's efforts in Belgium remain non existent and the brand is hardly known in the Benelux market. The Andaz Amsterdam is definitively going to be a challenge, especially outside the summer window. Amsterdam has already some nice boutique hotels, with great staff...coming from Hyatt.
