Disappointed to get the delayed opening correspondence this morning. We were confirmed for the last week of June and offered alternate booking at The Editory Riverside or cancellation without penalty. I'd noticed a few weeks ago this property was no longer showing up on the "500 Reasons to Stay Somewhere New" list, which makes me question if the new opening date of July 7 will also be postponed.
Sent back a couple of questions this morning to the Hyatt reservations contact and am waiting to hear back.

I'm bummed about this too! Just arrived in Lisbon and was hoping to check out the HR this month while here but alas...
In the mean time, I wanted to report that I'm here at the Hotel de Estrela (SLH) - 2 nights on points (15K/cat 4) and it's a lovely boutique hotel in a quiet neighborhood. If you can find points avails I recommend it. We are moving to the new Emerald House (Hilton) tomorrow though because this place is sold out rest of the week.
Happy to answer any questions if needed!

Same exact story here. Still debating what to do -- have/had(?) multiple reservations in late June at the Hyatt Regency Lisbon, one of which a suite for four people. The Editory Riverside -- while I'm sure a nice hotel -- doesn't interest me quite as much and as far as I can tell can only accommodate up to three per room, even in their suites.

Unfortunately, they said they wouldn't accommodate us all in a suite at the Editory, and instead would give us two separate (but connecting) rooms for the four of us. I was disappointed in this outcome, so did end up canceling our reservation and am now looking at alternatives in Lisbon to accommodate us in June. Not an easy task as many other options have of course already been booked well in advance! I guess I learned my lesson by not having a backup reservation long ago.

Hotel website still indicates July 7 for me, though you are right that if you try to actually book rooms, it finds no availability prior to July 21. I have a stay booked before that but haven't received any indication that it would be canceled.

Yes for me still shows as confirmed, but I am starting to worry about the availability.

We went past HR Lisbon on a bus back from Belem a week ago, the hotel is still under construction. Location is definitely not convenient for tourists, not much in the surrounding area. I don't think I would stay here in the future over Sheraton Lisbon, based on location.

I quite like the Doubletree and Sheraton locations. Close to a lot of shopping/ restaurants.

The rooms are sort of dark because of the black marble in the bathroom but not bad for a week long stay.

Received an email this morning that my reservation for mid July would be canceled, and they offered an alternative at the Editory as others above indicated. Seems like a long shot but, does anyone know if this would still count as qualifying nights?

yes per my cancellation email back in May if you stay… I decided to stay somewhere else. But credit will not be entered until the property is up and running (whenever that is)

The constant delay opening of this hotel reminds me of my experience with Grand Hyatt Baha Mar. Hope you get some compensation from Hyatt!

Any insights from the group about if it will actually open in July?
