Standard and premium suite awards/upgrades not available for Thompson Hotels
Thompson Hotels do not allow standard or premium suite awards or standard or premium suite upgrades. So much for participating fully in WoH. Just got off a shockingly long call with a Hyatt agent and supervisor to confirm that lack of WoH functionality.

i think they do. I booked the Cape Thompson in Cabo and was able to book a premium suite upgrade using points. I think you got a bad Hyatt rep.

Nope I've now HUCA twice more. Same story. So much for the wonderful additions to WoH that aren't really.

I'm being told there only are standard room awards (20K). No standard suite or premium suite awards. No standard suite upgrades or premium suite upgrades. Not impressive.

Thompson Seattle is on the list of properties that is not eligible for TSU or premium suite awards. Not Thompson as a hotel but just this particular hotel.

Haha, I’m booked already at the W Seattle and know I likely will get upgraded to a suite. I’ve stayed before and was treated very well (and pre-upgraded to a Wow Suite).
But I’ve heard enough nice things about the Thompson Seattle that I was considering an award stay with a suite. You know, like WoH says is an option.
Not so much. And there’s certainly no other Hyatt property I’d want to stay at. I’d stayed at the Hyatt at Olive 8 before and had major issues...and I’m never a fan of the massive 457 room Grand Hyatt.

I would stay at the Thompson even if I couldn't use a TSU. It's a very fine hotel and I found the normal rooms to be sufficient. Didn't spend much time there but nicer than the Olive 8, GH and HR rooms.

Yup I would too - loved my stay at the Thompson Seattle (even as just an Explorist)
