When I was there in July as a Glob, I was never handed a menu or even told anything. Waiter came by and took my drink order, I just walked to the buffet and grabbed food.

Did get a very generous upgrade. Booked a room with two doubles on points for a three-night stay. Hotel checked in a few days before and asked if I had any stay preferences. Told them I only needed one bed and appreciated any upgrade they could offer. Checked in using the app the day of the stay and was upgraded to the Presidential Suite. Admittedly, there are more spectacular Presidential Suites on the planet, but the hotel obviously didn't need to offer me what was a significant, multi-level upgrade for a points stay during a very busy time of the year. I appreciated it and will be back.

I had to specifically request the menu, the time pictured above -- I just went with the buffet on the other days, but sometimes you want something different

nice score on the upgrade!

Anyone stay in the presidential or discovery suite ? I can’t book it online and no pics. I can book the bi level but there’s no pics as well.

thanks for your help!

As mentioned above, I just stayed in one of the Presidential Suites. It's certainly nice, but not extravagant. There's lots of seating, including a table with stools that seats about six. There's an iMac in the room. The kitchen has a small fridge. The bedroom is pretty standard, although there's a soaking tub in the bathroom and separate doors for the toilet and shower. If you have any specific questions, let me know.

I'm assuming the breakfast must be paid for non-globalists. But since the regency club is closed, anyone know if we can use the club access award to get "free" breakfast? If so, any idea what else the club access award would grant?

Club closed until Sept 5th 2022, breakfast offered in restaurant

If I'm not mistaken, you cannot use club access award when there's no club or the club is closed.

Sep 5 has come and gone and lounge is not open. Hotel lady, by the tone of her voice, seems to think it will never re-open.

Spoke with the hotel manager. Reopen date of club is Feb 2023. But that is what their “system shows”. In reality, the manager said the hotel plans to do a major remodel of the club, but they sure still in planning phase.

so definitely won’t open in Feb 2023 and likely not for a long while afterwards. Nothing to do with pandemic.

Whats the latest on check in Globalist suite upgrades to a premium suite? Do they offer it?

Spent 2 nights recently, as a globalist. Booked last minute, got no suite upgrade, just a room on a high floor with a decent view. Proactively offered 4 pm late checkout at check in. Breakfast in Mosaic is quite decent, but for some reason I still got charged for it for the second day and had to call a day later to have them refund it - didn't checkout at the front desk, could have caught it then had I done that. I do appreciate that it's served all the way to 11 am as I slept in both days and only got down to eat around 10:45 am.

Hot tub and heated pool still working, and very popular. It gets very cozy in the hot tub on these dreadfully cold and grey Vancouver evenings.

Amazing value for a redemption. With taxes the basic rooms were going for 400 CAD when I booked, but only 9K points.

Is there cheap parking near the hotel?

I don't think there is. But because Hyatt Vancouver is right in downtown, you don't really need a car unless you're going pretty far then you can take bus or skytrain.

Does the mobile check-in at this hotel with the mobile key mean a truly FD-free experience? Disappointed by the news that the club is most likely not going to be opened by May.

Based on the pictures from the buffet, you could essentially make your own lox and bagel sandwich at the buffet instead of paying $26 dollars for one? Oh I guess the one off the menu has mashed potatoes?
