. Hyatt needs to up their game in the rest of Japan. They have fallen so far behind after Marriott's recent expansion.

And apart from the new hotels in Nikko and Nara, I'm not aware of Marriott expanding in Japan.

I imagine that you are being sarcastic, but in fact we DO need another points hotel in Kyoto that isn't ridiculously overpriced. Kyoto of all places is somewhere where you don't spend a lot of time in your hotel room, so paying for a Park Hyatt or Suiran / Ritz Carlton doesn't work for many.

Hyatt's Kanazawa adds are great but wish there would be more in the pipeline.
Marriott has the following opening soon/recently opened/converted (and given the majority of fairfields - will offer hopefully reasonable rates)
- Fairfield Kyoto Kyotamba
- Fairfield Gifu Seiryu Satoyama
- Fairfield Gifu Gujo
- Fairfield Tochigi Motegi
- Mitsui Kyoto
- Fairfield Mie Mihama
- Fairfield Gifu Mino
- Fairfield Kyoto Miyazu
- Fairfield Osaka Namba
- Moxy Osaka Shin Umeda
- Fairfield Marriott Sapporo
- Fairfield Tochigi Utsunomiya

Was reviewing various Hyatts for a potential trip in late 2022 or 2023. It would seem that the hotel homepage has been updated with some room & building renderings. Also curiously, when searching the Hyatt website on Kyoto with today's date there is a tiny blurb on the Hyatt Place that says Temporarily suspended operations. Resuming operations expected Apr 8, 2022. Not certain if it should be taken as the opening date, or as something else like the date they intend to resume working on the hotel...

Okay, I can only see that when I use the app. From the wording of the Japanese version, it seems like they might have been accepting reservations from then at one point.

But seeing the low rates, it does not look like a great place for using points, at least right now. It is not impossible that the rates will jump considerably when Japan reopens to foreign tourists.

Excellent location especially given the pricing! I only worry about the quality of noise insulation given that the hotel will be facing quite a busy street. We were always burning points on Ritz to be on this side of the city due to some great restaurants so this is a viable cash alternative. If you are in the neighborhood I can wholeheartedly recommend Ryoriya Stephan Pantel, Kiyama, Tagawa, Koke, Nonkiya mune, and Sake Bar Yoramu. I wonder though if they would be as helpful with reservations as the Ritz (we don't speak much Japanese). I agree that the rates most likely will go up once (hopefully soon) Japan reopens to tourists.

I think a bigger problem than availability these days is being able to actually get to Japan. I kind of lost hope that they will open prior to Covid going fully endemic which could be another year or so (give or take b/c the lack of endemicity exactly implies impossibility of predicting this).
