Upon arrival, guests should collect their luggage, clear customs, and follow signs for "Circle", "Hyatt Regency", or "Hyatt Place" to reach the hotel independently. This applies to guests booking pre-night accommodation as well. Please meet your Travel Director (TD) in the hotel lobby at approximately 15:30 for the introduction and the group will depart at 16:00 for the orientation. Exact timing will be confirmed in the TD¿s welcome letter upon arrival.
