Hyatt Regency Vancouver hotel is located right in the heart of the downtown area, and close to the cruise ship terminal. We had the chance to stay at this hotel on a recent trip to the great Pacific Northwest. This was the second time I was able to stay at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver, and the first time for my wife. We were looking at staying just outside of downtown by the Sky Train station at “Olympic Village” or “Broadway/City Hall”. Vancouver is very expensive, so the cost to stay just outside of downtown still would have been pretty high. The cost ran just under $200 per night on average to stay outside the city center, and $250 and up in the downtown area per night. We decided to avoid paying anything for our 1 night stay at the Hyatt Regency by using 12,000 of our Hyatt Gold Passport points. You can collect the Hyatt Gold Passport points by staying at Hyatt Hotels and Resorts worldwide, using airline and rental car partners, and charging purchases on your Hyatt credit card. The credit card offers holders 2 free bonus nights at any level 1 through 4 Hyatt Hotel, if you charge $1000 in your first 3 billing statements. My wife and I used the credit card bonus award to stay free for 2 nights at the Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile hotel in France in 2014.
Hyatt Regency Vancouver hotel review summary
The luxury downtown Four Diamond hotel features 644 contemporary guest rooms that offer stunning views of the surrounding Burrard Inlet, mountains, city skyline, and Stanley Park. The lobby featured a Starbuck’s Coffee, The Mosaic Grille restaurant and Bar, and the attached Royal Centre Mall. We stayed in a standard king bedroom with 380 square feet of space. Our room was located on the 33rd floor, and the hotel featured “on demand” elevators. You would tap the floor you wanted on the kiosk, and it would tell you which elevator number would take you “nonstop” to your floor. When we opened our room door, we found it to be very elegant, with a partial view of the inlet and city skyline. The room featured floor to ceiling windows, a signature plush pillow-top Hyatt Grand King Bed, a down bedspread, large flat screen LED TV, and sleek contemporary furnishings. Other amenities included a safe, natural slate in the bathroom, a central ceiling mounted rainfall shower head, an iHome stereo, and complimentary high speed Wi-Fi. The hotel was centrally located offering quick access to Chinatown, the water front, Stanley Park, the Rodgers Arena, and BC Place Stadium. All in all, I would rate the hotel an 8.5 out of 10, and would certainly stay at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver again!
