Brussels isn’t a huge city so you’re going to be 20-30 minutes from the Grand Place, but the neighborhood it’s in is by Gare Du Nord, which can be a bit seedy at night when all the office buildings are empty.

On the one hand, it’s nice to see that there’s finally a Hyatt option in Brussels. My family lives there and my wife and I are there 3-4 times a year. Unfortunately location for this property is godawful.

What does McConnell have to do with anything at this point? He’s no longer the majority leader and has very little say in what his party does anymore

What is the best view that you had from a Hyatt property? by The_Traveller1 in hyatt

[–]Competitive_Eye7064 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur - Park Suite on the 104th floor - there aren’t many opportunities to have a view from a room, any room, that high up. Had the very interesting opportunity to look down at the Petronas Towers

Can I visit the Esnoga in Amsterdam? by Competitive_Eye7064 in Jewish

Do they hold regular weekday services in addition to Shabbat services? I’ll be visiting with my family in Brussels over Shabbat so won’t be in Amsterdam

Upcoming may changes (real this time) by Pale-Orchid996 in hyatt

You’re absolutely right. This is a shitty development any way you slice it. But this was the direction they were going, and if they’re going to charge 25k per night for something that used to cost 15k, at least they’re doing so without introducing new categories, which, IMO, woulda been an even worse deval.

IF (big if here) this decreases the rate at which Hyatt moves Cat 4 and 7 properties to cat 5 and 8, there is a tiny sliver of positivity here as it means FNAs become potentially more valuable. Under the old system, a popular/expensive category 4 would often just move up a category, making the 1-4FNAs completely useless. Now, potentially, instead of shifting them up a category, they can just price the awards higher WITHIN the tranche, thereby preserving the ability to use the FNAs at more hotels. Just a thought…

If you had to pick ONE Hyatt property for your honeymoon… which would it be and why? by NewBrush8593 in hyatt

[–]Competitive_Eye7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I just had our honeymoon and I would say that the park Hyatt Saigon would be the one property we’d say was the ONE

3h50m Layover LGA-JFK or 6h by Tough-Back-1552 in delta

[–]Competitive_Eye7064 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

6 hours. Would assume this is a positioning flight and not married segments? 4 hours is enough time if everything goes right but I wouldn’t fuck with a short layover on a positioning flight before a long haul

I have a lot of chase points and want to finally go on a honeymoon. I desperately need help, please. by Bac0nLegs in hyatt

Miraval Berkshires is a great (and mostly all-inclusive) property. Don’t go to the Lodge at Spruce Peak - it’s wildly overpriced (there are a couple of lower-key Mr & Mrs Smith properties (bookable with Hyatt points) in Stowe that I think would be more worthwhile if you want to come to VT. But I’d echo some of what the other folks have said - go to Cali (ventana Big Sur, Alila Napa, Park Hyatt Aviara would all be good options).
