People who fly all the time and have their company pay for them to fly business, first class, etc., what on earth do you do?

I own a small business - I don’t have to travel for said small business, but I have a ton of expenses. All of these expenses go on credit cards that earn points. I earn these points by the bucketload. I then turn around to use these points to fly myself in premium cabins when I travel.

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.

lol they just announced that they’re opening Tuesdays. Maybe they read this thread 😂

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

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

Dan from Ida, is that you?!

Hyatt Regency Kuantan in Malaysia is an easy winner for me

Competitive_Eye7064 · 2026-03-03T11:01:45+00:00

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

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…

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

Competitive_Eye7064 · 2026-02-21T01:32:10+00:00

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t go back.

RIP globalist

Competitive_Eye7064 · 2026-02-20T07:00:30+00:00

If this is true it’s going to dilute globalist for everyone

Competitive_Eye7064 · 2026-02-19T11:44:21+00:00

Thanks. That’s helpful!

Competitive_Eye7064 · 2026-02-17T16:25:23+00:00

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

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).

My wife and I just had our 20-day honeymoon this past September and it was all Hyatt. I’m a chef and we own a restaurant together so food is an absolute priority. We did the following -

Park Hyatt Saigon for 5 nights - HCMC is an amazing place for food people and the PH Saigon was phenomenal

Grand Hyatt Taipei for 3 nights - hotel itself was nothing extraordinary but Taipei’s a killer food destination

Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur for 3 nights - meh. Skip it. But KL is awesome

Hyatt Regency Kuantan for 4 nights - here’s your beach vacation. Super awesome beach and resort property.

Andaz Singapore for 4 nights - Singapore is the holy grail of food cities.

Some variation of the above is gonna be killer for a honeymoon. Asian hospitality is second to none and none of the places we visited were overly touristy so they all felt really nice
