I’ve stayed at a great many Hyatt Place properties at this point, and it’s rare for me to review them. That’s because they tend to be almost identical, which is entirely by design. Each room has the same pull-out couch with chaise lounge, the same wet bar with coffee maker, the same bed or beds, […]
Image courtesy: Hyatt Hotels Hyatt’s saturation of the Orlando market is so thorough that you can find two Hyatt Regency properties within a few miles of them. I’d stayed at the Hyatt Regency Orlando previously, but a bit farther down I-4, and a bit closer to Walt Disney World, one can find the Hyatt Regency […]
Image courtesy: Hyatt Hotels This review will be even shorter than my stay at Excalibur. 25 stays in one year is a tall order to hit, but that’s the requirement to earn top-tier status with Hyatt moving forward. With a huge adventure planned for next year – and plenty of additional trips liable to be […]

Andaz is […]
Image courtesy: Hyatt Hotels This year’s Labor Day weekend was a whirlwind adventure, with daily visits to airports as we trekked across the country. Our first stop was in Denver for a friend’s wedding. We arrived mid-morning for the mid-afternoon ceremony, but would be heading on to Los Angeles the next morning, so staying close […]
Image courtesy: Hyatt Hotels On a recent trip to Orlando, I was able to stay for a night at the Hyatt Regency Orlando. A Category 4 property, an award stay would typically cost either 15,000 points or 7,500 points + $100 with the cash + points option. However, with rates hovering just a bit above […]
Image courtesy: Hyatt Hotels The Hyatt Regency Tsim Sha Tsui is located in a 64-story complex called The Masterpiece, in the heart of Kowloon in Hong Kong. A tower amidst a sea of towers – the 11th tallest in Hong Kong – this building is practically a city of its own, with a 6-floor shopping […]

While in Adelaide, I had the […]
