This stay at the Grand Hyatt Washington DC actually happened a few months ago but I am (slowly) working my way through a backlog of trip reports. This Grand Hyatt Washington review came at the conclusion of our trip to Peru

Grand Hyatt Washington location and metro access
After landing in Washington DC, we transferred from IAD to downtown Washington DC using the Silver Line bus and then took the Washington Metro to the Metro Center stop, which is a stop on the red, blue, silver or orange lines. You can actually walk right from the metro stop to an entrance of the hotel (pictured below; sorry for how dark the picture is!)
Just follow that hallway into the lobby of the Grand Hyatt Washington DC
If you’re coming by car or Uber, the Grand Hyatt Washington address is 1000 H Street NW, Washington, D.C., USA, 20001
Grand Hyatt Washington cost
The Grand Hyatt Washington is a Category 4 Hyatt hotel, which means that it costs 15,000 World of Hyatt points per night for a standard room. You can also pay 21,000 points for an Executive Club level room or 7500 points + $100 for a Cash and Points stay. Because it’s a Category 4 hotel, you can also use the free certificate from the credit card, which is what we did. As Globalist members, we were given a complimentary upgrade to the executive lounge (See below)
As far as cash prices go, Grand Hyatt Washington DC prices range anywhere from $150 up to $300, making it a solid value for points redemptions. You can check Grand Hyatt Washington DC prices at hotels.com here or read other reviews at TripAdvisor here
Rooms at the Grand Hyatt Washington DC
We were given a standard room at the Grand Hyatt Washington DC with an atrium view. We had one king bed which worked out just fine since it was only the two of us. The extra desk and chair was a comfortable place to get a bit of work done.
Grand Hyatt Washington executive lounge and food
As I mentioned earlier, we were upgraded to a club level room with access to the Grand Hyatt Washington executive lounge. The Grand Hyatt Washington executive lounge has hours below
We got there late at night and just missed the dessert buffet, which was a huge bummer to my chocolate obsessed wife. If my experiences at other hotels are similar, I would imagine the hors d’oeuvres would classify as “dinner”
(SEE ALSO: 4 hotels that give dinner for free)
And as you can see that children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult, and hey, if kids are really cramping your style, the Grand Hyatt Washington executive lounge does have an area that is adults-only
Although we got there too late to check out the evening hors d’oeuvres or dessert buffet, we did go to the Grand Hyatt Washington executive lounge for breakfast.
I had a breakfast wrap which was quite tasty
And, although we missed the cocktail hours (and I don’t drink anyways), here is a picture of the alcohol available at the Grand Hyatt Washington executive lounge (along with me in the background 😀 )
Grand Hyatt Washington DC amenities

I visited there the year before last for the Fourth of July. The location is excellent for sightseeing! Having the gym be separate was kind of frustrating, but that was the only complaint I had.
I spend a week in this hotel every year in March. I find the gym situation frustrating myself. Instead of working out in the gym, I go for a jog, National Mall at 6:00am is all yours, and it’s magical!
I’ve never been to a lounge in the US where the lounge was dinner. Even Grand Hyatt’s. Maybe a good Ritz. Either way. Weak review. Sometimes if you can’t give a proper review. Just skip it
I think that some of the renovations have taken away from the hotel and removing the pool was a mistake. But they appear to be moving this hotel from a resort-style hotel to the business traveler spot it really is.
A few additions to your review. The lounge has excellent service (if not a bit annoying). It consistently has one of the best US spread I’ve experienced at a Hyatt. It’s not overly abundant but the quality is superior. The crab frittata that they have about once per week is delicious. Alcohol is charged bar and regulated. Sample prices include $6/glass of wine and $24/bottle.
Rooms are typical Hyatt but have been refreshed. They still have shower curtains in the bathrooms which I don’t love.
The restaurant is nothing special after the dinner hour (where I haven’t had the opportunity to visit). They have a limited bar menu. The cocktail list is inventive and expensive for DC but reasonable for a hotel.
Hotel staff is generally friendly. Most I have encountered are young to middle-aged, and slightly perfunctory. They get you from point A to B. I’ve never received a true suite upgrade and always get a standard city view room on lounge floor. The hotel is central to many DC sights and shopping and is within a mile of cute neighborhoods offering great food and drink. It’s close to all of DC’s major law firms so ideal for some business travelers. Pricing is typically $100 below the Park Hyatt and very reasonable if you’re on a budget. It’s still luxe enough that I might visit on vacation, but primarily reserve for business trips.
What is required to be a Globalist Member?
It’s just their top tier status – so I think it’s 55 nights / year generally. I status matched from Hilton Diamond
