I'll play devil's advocate (or anti-chicken little) and throw this out for discussion.
1. It's a Hyatt Regency. My experience with those has generally been positive (TPE, ICN).
2. It's close to the airport. Considering the pain I've felt at 0800 fighting rush hour traffic for 1.5 hours to get downtown after hub turning through PVG, I think that might be a positive.
I think I'll leave the jury out in my little corner of the Fedex world until I've at least spent a layover there. My .02.

The bar on the top floor of the hotel is really nice- great atmosphere and fantastic view. Surprisingly, the food at the restaurant on the main level (they have a dinner buffet) is really good too. Great dumpling place hidden behind a secret door just down the sidewalk outside too. I enjoy the KIX layovers when I'm there (I'm a Brown guy).

Been to this hotel twice. Bar upstairs very expensive; priced for businessmen on expense accounts. Two restaurants in hotel limit choices if food and are only open during very limited hours. Same for few places in largely vacant mall.
Terrible location!!

CBA says food needs to be available 24/7.
Everything around there closes between 2100-2200L. Last bus back from downtown runs at 2200 (BTW, they fill it up often and there's no standing). Room service stops at 2300 and the only thing available at the hotel from then to morning is from vending machines.
