I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Wow….what a beautiful new, fresh and classy intro! Absolutely love the way your channel is evolving! In my humble opinion this feels like a very natural and organic step up in the development of your “brand” if you allow me calling it that. Your narration, information and imagery go perfectly in sync to an even higher level. Especially your use of graphics is impressive!!! Absolutely love it Kevin! ❤

@tfft Год назад

Thanks very much for that 🙏🏻

@martintrujillo6679 Год назад

Thanks for the review Kevin! As a Hyatt loyalist I've been loving your recent content on Hyatt brands. Probably the best unbiased reviews out there for properties I'll actually stay at. Looking forward to our stay at this Centric even more thanks to you!

@tfft Год назад

I might steal your line for a future intro... "for properties I'll actually stay at" is my target haha.

@clarkkent8428 Месяц назад

Hyatt Centric - a new hotel concept from Hyatt. Centric means "center" on you, the guest, hence the word "centric" while adding the local culture design to it. Thank you so much for this video. I'm glad I subscribe to you.

@yunjieangelli7271 Год назад

I had to go back to some older videos to compare the intros, and tbh, I like both (minus the name sticker lol). But this new one is def smoother and sleeker. However, I did like the flip board letters of the old one. As for the content, great video as always. Looking forward to the Okura since I considered that. We ended up booking the Andaz - hope you get to review that in the future!

@tfft Год назад

I liked the flip board also, arguably more, but they were a PITA to alter and just felt a bit clunky. Thanks for watching 🩴

Wow, this Centric hotel is so beautiful, even for Tokyo standards!! I just stayed at the Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu and I was at a loss for words too, it's almost similar to an Andaz I would say, and dare I say even better than some Park Hyatts out there. Their rooftop infinity pool might be my favourite so far, even beating the Marina Bay Sands Singapore for me (if you ask me, MBS pool was always crowded and starting to show its age). Do review it if you decide to stop by Kota Kinabalu.

Kevin-san, great job! I loved this video starting from the new melody, which flows naturally to gain momentum in the intro. I love the decor and the ambience since I've been a fan of Super Potato for years. The bathroom arrangement is kind of funky, but nothing that would make me have second thoughts about staying there. The price is on the steep side, but the location is superb. I know you only stayed at 2 properties this time. If you go back to Japan in the future, please consider properties up North in Niseko -- Park Hyatt and Ritz-Carlton -- as well as the Ritz-Carlton in Nikko. As for the puzzle, here's my wild guess with just one letter: The Albert in Sydney. Ganbatte kudasai!

@tfft Год назад

That's actually a pretty good guess... it fits and I was actually considering it in Sydney... but no, wrong continent 😅

@ErwinJürgensen Год назад

@@tfft LOL... I'll think of another guess, then. Maybe in Cancún...

@kvom01 3 месяца назад

The hideaway sink was the only thing I didn't like when I stayed there two years ago. Breakfast was very good, and the location was great. I also stayed at the Grand Hyatt and Hyatt Regency that trip as Globalist, and all were fine.

@@tfft there are 4 Clarion Hotel outlets in Stockholm, two of them very nearby to each other in the downtown. The Sign is one of these two. Nothing to do with the neighbourhood name. I reckon it refers to its architecture and interior concept.

@tfft Год назад

This is very much a Tokyo thing in general but the prices fluxuate wildly for these two properties. I've seen both with nightly rates ranging from $350-$1100+... don't know how they (especially HyCen) get away with it.

The new music and opening sequence is very nice, change is always good, except when it’s not 😅 Japan is very high on my bucket list, but for some reason it kinda intimidates me.

@tfft Год назад

Don't let it intimidate you, one very specific reason why: It is safe and courteous enough to make as many mistakes as you'd like. I'm not saying you were concerned for your safety, but likely whatever you were worried about was in fear of what might happen if you did something "wrong"... Get on the wrong train, walk down a dark alley, slurp your noodles too loudly, just go and enjoy it for what it is! (For the record, Japan is the only place on earth that I'd actually say this about...).

Lots of nice Hyatt Centrics out there: the South Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Key West and Kanazawa ones come to mind that I’ve stayed at post covid. The Kanazawa Centric regularly goes for 100USD a night. The New York ones are awful though! That being said, this Centric’s rates feel pretty exorbitant compared to the AC nearby, or the similarly priced GH Tokyo. I’ll be staying 4 nights in August. Thanks for sharing this review! One thing I’d be curious about is how why you chose to stay at this hotel specifically, instead of all the other options in Tokyo.

Was just in Tokyo in feb for the T Swift concert and stayed at the new edition and Aloft when in Ginza. This is head and shoulders above the aloft. The edition ginza was great - though not as good as the larger one in torranomon in some ways and of course none of them can hold a candle to the Bodrum edition.

@tfft 2 месяца назад

I've been to one Edition and I gotta say I feel like I've been to them all. It is such a specific aesthetic (which I do like...) that I think will come and bite them in the ass in 10 years.

@jamesphelps1958 2 месяца назад

Well from what I know about Ian Schrager he might actually enjoy that! Kidding aside, Outside of their resort properties in turkey in Mexico it’s a little cookie cutter, but maybe thats fine as long as they have the marriott platform to funnel them guests they don’t have to provide any elite benefits to.

"Travel agency rates from Aunt Betty" sounds like you are talking about my parents!! Yup, they are the ever loyal travel agency package bookers, we all know the ones they tack on about $100 a night extra, then book via a third party and pocket themselves a nice little commission and the rate never includes breakfast either. I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on the centre island in the room. It's a no for me, and you would want to be well beyond the honeymoon phase of a relationship with the bathroom situation. You are paying for the snacks, etc, in the rate, but l think it's a nice touch. All for a simplistic bed, cushions, and throws on the bed is a pet peeve much prefer just the linen. Thoroughly enjoyed this review 👍

@tfft Год назад

Ahhhh maybe I need to rephrase it in the future. As I’m getting ready to starting putting out my cruise videos I’ve been watching other cruise content creators who ‘pay’ for their own cruises… but, they are also sponsored by a specific travel agency (always very small, likely a family member’s company… perhaps Aunt Betty). Those travel agencies have access to rates that are pennies on the dollar compared to what we need to pay…. And those are the rates the content creators are paying in exchange for the travel agency name drops.

That sink, island situation would be a deal breaker for us. That and the cost. On points, it isn't bad, usually 21K per night. But over $600 is ridiculous. On points, there is value here, especially for a WOH Globalist. But for cash, there are better values in Tokyo.

The problem I had traveling in Japan, is that it was extremely hard to have access to complete meals as a vegan. It's as if they were expecting me to live off snacks only. I never had that problem in the States , in Europe and even Scandinavia. Plus, I have a fish allergy and in Japan, they also have a problem dealing with that seriously. Personally, I won't go back, it was too stressful because of that fish allergy and the lack of access to complete vegan meals. I've been to that hotel and, agreed, it's exceptional. But I could barely be fed sadly.

@tfft 11 месяцев назад

I'd say the things that make Japan such a great place for some to travel (sticking to their traditions, full stop) are also what prevent you from enjoying it! Hopefully things will change (just a little bit) over time. Thanks for watching 🩴

@kentokyo 6 месяцев назад

Japanese here. While I empathize with your fish allergy, Japan's culinary culture isn't obligated to assimilate Western trends, nor should it change for tourists. Moreover, expecting the same food culture and criticizing it resembles cultural insensitivity, and such a colonial attitude is offensive.
