It was almost the end of 2021 \u2013 although I didn\u2019t plan to complete my Hyatt Globalist Challenge, there were still a few \u00a3100 cashback offers on my Amex cards. I decided to use these offers on the Great Scotland Yard hotel<\/a>, which is part of the Unbound Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I booked the Hyatt Prive rate under the ongoing 3-for-2 offer. Hyatt Prive includes free breakfast, $100 credit to spend on property, room upgrade and 2pm checkout. The total comes to \u00a3690 for three nights pre cashbacks \u2013 remember that you\u2019ll only get two night credits for the stay though<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel is very centrally located, just a couple of minutes\u2019 walk to Embankment and Charing Cross stations. The building is on a quiet lane though so you don\u2019t need to worry about noises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel sits on the original site of the (Old) Scotland Yard which is where the name comes from. It\u2019s a total rebuild though so has nothing to do with the old MET office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its public space is full of classy and graceful decorations, and they are truly beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course there\u2019s a Christmas tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wall arts in the corridor are funny British humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m very impressed by the enamelled door \u2013 it must be expensive to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m upgraded one-level to a room with city view, which isn\u2019t much of an upgrade. The Explorist status has been virtually useless to be honest, even combined with Hyatt Prive which supposedly enhances the room upgrade benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The room is \u2013 unsurprisingly \u2013 small, however it feels very tasteful. It reminds me of Marriott Park Lane<\/a>, although the styles are quite different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bathroom is very beautiful too, equipped with a smart toilet seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The welcome letter is wax-sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, I have quite a few complaints as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
