The hotel has been closed since April 2020.. It usually updates it’s reopening every couple of months. There’s no way of knowing if it will be open in December but I urge you to book elsewhere as well in case it doesn’t open. They no longer honor the rate or book you elsewhere if the hotel isn’t open.

Probably no Club or restaurant
Looking at the hotel website I don’t see any mention of a Club or Club rooms for sale. The only food mention is the Market for takeout.

Last week I booked a King Suite City View for cash with a points upgrade. The room description on the website mentioned club access. Now the room description does not say that anymore. So yeah, I suspect club and most dining options are nixed.

When I saw the post about the rebranding from GH to Hyatt, my first thought was that this means that the lounge is now permanently closed. Otherwise I don't think there's any implication for Glob benefits, etc. However, I would normally expect a Hyatt in a city to have some sort of restaurant (even if it's just a sports bar with food) beyond The Market. OTOH if NYC is still discouraging indoor dining, this would be understandable.

Now that it's a regular old Hyatt... for anyone looking for a stay in January, and to tick off a brand from brand explorer, rates are very reasonable. < $100 on many nights.

Clever: Grand Hyatt NY to Hyatt Grand Central NY, maybe no one will notice the downgrade?
Still smarting that I was involuntarily moved here from Andaz Wall St since they will not be re-opening. Very reluctant to stay here, but they've upgraded me to a Pres Suite and it will tick off a brand explorer, so I guess I'll be the guinea pig. My stay is days after the scheduled open and they've assured me they will be open and "ready to offer a premium experience". No restaurant and no lounge doesn't sound very "premium" to me.
