Hyatt Regency Vancouver

I spent 5 nights at the hotel while attending a conference of over 600 people that was held at the Bayshore hotel (about a 10 minute drive from the Hyatt) but I have to say, I am thankful that we booked our rooms late since the Bayshore was sold out and the overflow people were directed to the Hyatt Regency.

I preferred this hotel location to the Bayshore because this hotel was in closer proximity to more restaurants, shopping locations (some very high end such as Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Tiffany & Co., Coach etc) as well as a Tim Hortons and McDonalds right across from the entrance of the hotel, not that the coffee wasn't good in the room (in fact it was very good) but it's nice to have a Tim's so close and there was also a Starbucks right in the lobby! I upgraded my room for the $25 per night so that I had a mountain view and am glad I did since I loved waking up to the mountains every morning and with the upgrade I received free WiFi.

The room was very spacious and so clean, the bed and pillows were soft & comfy and there was a separate desk area for working with a large closet and larger bathroom, I loved the circle in the mirror since it lite up at night and was perfect for a little light so you can still see where you are walking at night. There was a fridge in the room and all the staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be so helpful, I did visit the spa and found it very relaxing with great prices, some hotel spas are so overpriced!

There is also a mini mall attached right to the hotel with a Staples and other little shops to help all your business needs. The only minor complaint I had was that the shower has no shower head, but rather the faucet is in the ceiling so its almost like being rained on but the pressure was good (like a heavy rain so that was a good thing) but it was a little awkward. My only other complaint was the prices at the hotel restaurant, it was a little pricey at the cost of about $15 for a 3 egg omelet breakfast so I was thankful there was a McDonald's next door. I had no issues or complaints with the elevators in fact they were very quick and efficient and I never heard my neighbour's at all; I was on the 27th floor, and if I ever have a chance to go back I will definitely be staying here again!

Room Tip: pay the $25 for the upgrade and ask for a mountain view
