In connection with our stay at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, we also spent a few nights at the 516-room Grand Hyatt Denver. I figured I’d quickly review the hotel, though there’s less to say than usual, given that some of the facilities were closed due to coronavirus.

I stayed here in April (the rates were much higher at that point) and the "restaurant" was open but was really just the same menu you had but in a bar atmosphere with high top table atmosphere. It really has no F&B to speak of despite how they create the illusion that they do on the website. Luckily there are some decent restaurants 5-10 minutes walk away.
No reason though to ever stay here unless it's incredibly cheap compared to others - or you need to for a conference. The nearby Four Seasons is honestly often a good value (for a FS) and a wonderful property if you want to step it up. Otherwise, at this point in Denver, I would not spend the money for a "full service" property in the city unless it was really cheap.
Cherry Creek is also an option with a number of properties that are far less convention oriented.
Thanks for the review, Ben. I stayed there 2 weekends ago and had a totally different experience. The front desk staff didn't even pretend to be friendly. The worst part was that someone was moving furniture above our room (we were on the penultimate floor) around midnight. After 15 minutes of noise, I called the front desk but the noise continued for 2 more hours. The next morning, I recounted what happened to the front desk staff (they never asked how my stay was, so I volunteered it) and they offered me a cup of coffee on the house to make up for not being able to sleep...so much for being a Globalist!
Ben… what is the point of Prive credit at most US “full service” Hyatt’s nowadays, in my experience, in the past few months… most every full service Hyatt has closed their restaurants and the only thing open is the overpriced, packaged to-go, slightly better than Starbucks market concept. If I’m a globalist, and get free breakfast, I can only usually get it here served up in to go plastic or warmed up in a convection oven…not in a proper restaurant. AND, with a Prive credit of 75-100 per stay, what do I spend it on? More granola bars and a lot of cappuccinos? Honestly, open the restaurants. COVID is no longer an excuse.
We had a great stay there in May and got upgraded as you did. The staff was quite friendly and helpful and I thought the $30 breakfast credit was generous in view of the low room rate. I'd definitely return.
This is 100% a business hotel. It used to the the only Hyatt/nicest Hyatt downtown, but 10 or 15 years ago they opened the Hyatt Regency near the Convention Center that is a) nicer (although it's now probably old enough that it's in need of full renovation, b) in a better location for both tourists and convention-goers and c) seems to be the one that has Hyatt's attention and promotion budget much more.
Having worked in downtown Denver for 15 years prior to covid, completely agree with the comments on location. A few blocks towards Union Station and there are great restaurants to choose from. The area around GH isn't bad, just not as good as a few blocks away.
If you book through privet do you still get globalist recognition.vs wxpedia hotels.com where usually status is not recognized?
Do you get credit for nights stayed??
Thanks
