"There are countless stories of guests getting IDs checked, in some cases needing a special company letter or requiring a company fax confirming the reason for staying. Park Hyatt Sydney reportedly liaised directly with the company travel desk — one guest who resigned had their upcoming booking cancelled because they were no longer authorised to use the rate. Hyatt is noted as quite strict about checking identification, especially in Asia and Europe."

"We are pleased to note you have a future reservation on xxxxxx, 2010 made through hyatt.com. I do kindly ask that you bring your valid working ID in order for us to be able to confirm the corporate rate at time of check-in which will be cross referenced with the company. Unfortunately of late we have been experiencing misuse of some of our corporate rates, with your company a target and we have had to implement tighter controls in this regard."

"I get randomly asked for my id if I check in at peak times, if it’s late or super early morning they just let it go. I’ve showed my corporate email on my phone for proof before"
