I think that makes it the only Hyatt in Europe to charge Globalists for breakfast items. Cheap-..., especially at their rates. Certainly out of line with the other two Hyatt Regencies in London.
Combine that with it not being a real suite when I get a proper suite on 90% of my stays, and I may not even bother to give it a try.

I stayed there probably 6 years ago when it was the Crowne Plaza...I remember it being very "funky", lots of black and neon lights and such. Very different aesthetic from an HR.

In advance, offered a king suite for 200/night after booking a base king on points. Told them no thanks. Club isn't operational and the public rate between those rooms is 160/night. I figured they'd shoot a better number my way.
Anyone want to sponsor ms as GoH? lol

Location is not ideal for me but I was ready to give it a go to try it after the Summer.
But for the few dates I checked (and even if cheaper on points) it’s more expensive than the Andaz and almost inline with the GSY and Churchill which both more central and has a lounge and true standard suite (for the later). So probably not worth a go?
Any view on positioning/occupation?

The HR Blackfriars is quite convenient for anyone on Fleet Street, the city of London or at a push Southwark. I don’t personally find it a good location and the transport links to elsewhere are pretty limited as well.

It's been hard to get my points and EQN for my 1 night stay on the opening day. I filled out the missing stay form, nothing. Called up the Globalist line, they said the hotel shows as Hyatt as of June 1st, which is ridiculous since the hotel opened as Hyatt Regency on the 28th. They opened a case but it's been frustrating.
