Club lounge is pretty good - review here (scan down page a bit). Breakfast was a reasonble choice, although much better downstairs. Chocolates and fruit throughout the day, good evening food. No champagne but reasonable sparkling wine.

In order of preferences
Excellent thread.
Grand Hyatt NYC - the new lounge was terrific. The old one was terrible, but the new one with the outdoor patio is an excellent meeting spot. Most memorable in recent history.
Hyatt Regency Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong - stunning view. Small lounge. Decent food.
Grand Hyatt Singapore - there are two lounges. The one in the new tower is amazing. The one one in tha back is not as nice. Both have excellent food. The breakfast and cocktail are excellent.
Grand Hyatt Guangzhou - super friendly staff. Decent food. But it's a small lounge. Nice view of Guangzhou.
Grand Hyatt Bangkok - great breakfast and cocktails. Amazing staff. But the lounge itself is a bit dated.
Grand Hyatt Macau - decent food, but the staff was mediocre and not very friendly.
Grand Hyatt San Francisco - decent lounge for meetings, food apis acceptable
Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Beverly Hills - the lounge doesn't do the property justice.
Hyatt Regency Chicago - one of the worst lounges ever. They really need to invest in this property especially since this is home court for Hyatt.
Honorable mentions: Park Hyatt Place Vendôme and Hyatt Regency Paris were great places to have breakfast for diamond members. Despite not having a lounge, the restaurant for breakfast and bar for cocktails were very memorable.
Looking forward to staying at some of the lounges mentioned and seeing Hyatt invest in these great assets for building brand loyalty.

Grand Hyatt SF on Stockton
The lounge was recently remodeled and it is gorgeous. The lounge is exquisitely decorated with a modern, warm,with very subtle sexy undertones.
We are staying here this week and I can attest that the lounge staff is friendly and welcoming. They clearly want you to enjoy your stay and offer their assistance the minute you look their way.
The lounge is portrayed as offering a continental breakfast with pastries, fruits, and beverages. Yet, there is much more than that. There is hot cereal (oatmeal), frittata with diced ham (may change daily?), assorted cheeses, along with bagels, toast and cold cereal.
Oh, and the gorgeous SF view from the 32nd floor! Breathtaking!
I cannot say it is THE best lounge but it is one of our favorites!

For me of those with lounges I've been to:
1 - Singapore: (new tower) found it to be quite elegant with a decent spread and perfect service
2 - Manila: great service including check-in, nice spread, enjoyable evening cocktails, nice views
3 - Casablanca: fantastic service including check-in, small but still enjoyable and calm
4 - Bali Hyatt: great atmosphere, wonderful staff and unlimited champagne/beer
5 - Santa Clara: because its not open on weekends and I get my 2500 pts
6 - Maui: Really very disappointing spread and way too crowded

Hyatt Regency Sharm el Sheikh. The Regency Club in addition to the self serve food and alcohol, has its own pool off the balcony, and a private beach only for club guests to escape the crowded main hotel beach with a jetty from which you can snorkel. Free drinks, including coffee, are also available on the Regency Club beach.

The PH Zurich offers an excellent breakfast, outstanding! and their beers are better value. We prefer the PH Zurich to Paris. PH Milan also has a nice brekky but as diamonds you only get parts of it for free as a diamond, and other parts you have to pay for but they dont tell you this til you check out!! Neither has a club lounge.
PH Hamburg is the only ph with club lounge and its meant to be nice.. The hotel is beautiful but i cant comment on the lounge as we were not diamonds on this stay. we loved the hotel but found hamburg fun for 3 days but not much to do beyond this.
Intercontinental park lane in London has the best lounge for our experience BUT costs around £80/night so the Hyatt churchill wins for us

1. Hyatt Regency San Francisco - revolving lounge, night time offerings included two-three entree choices, soup, salad, amazing apps and sweets.
2. Hyatt Huntington Beach - incredible views, although the offerings are pretty standard fare.
3. Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay - amazing views of wildlife preserve, nightly offerings included shrimp and scallops, sweets are some the best.
4. Hyatt Regency Denver - Less stuffy than the grand, and great offerings every night - they got me on nightly sweets - 2 different kinds of cake/pie and petti-fores. Attentive staff and incredible views.

this should probably be separated into 2 lists -
IN the US and NOT.
from everything I read there is no comparison...
but IN the US I would have to go Gainey Ranch. the location is great (although a walk from some of the rooms) and the pastry chef is excellent.

At the PH Milan, The waitress made special note to tell me: "you are a Diamond, you can have whatever you want"
That was ~ 2+ years. Can you confirm that this has changed?

I have been to the Capitol Hill Hyatt in DC twice. One time the lounge had lobster tail. The next time it had London Broil steak. Loved it, great dessert and wonderful staff.
