Scene
Business feel with large lobby that gets crowded at times
Hotels in the Hyatt chain are popular with business travelers, and the Hyatt Regency Vancouver is no exception. It's housed in a tall building on a busy street with glass revolving doors and digital screens by the elevators that allow guests to select their floor before getting on. The lobby is spacious and lacks decor beyond a few potted plants and brown leather chairs, giving it an impersonal ambiance. Despite its large size, the lobby can get a bit hectic during peak check-in and check-out times. There’s a Starbucks and seating areas on the lower lobby level, and the Mosaic Grille on the floor above the lobby is exposed behind a glass balustrade.
