I often overeat when traveling.
I usually don't eat 3 meals, but the 3rd meal of the day was pizza. That's it for dinner.

Remembering July 17, 1981: The Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse
The Hyatt Regency hotel, a symbol of modernity, opened its doors in 1978, boasting an impressive atrium with suspended walkways. These walkways, designed to be both functional and visually appealing, connected different levels of the hotel, including the lobby where a tea dance was taking place on that fateful evening.
The collapse of the walkways was a result of critical design flaws and miscommunication between the engineering firm and the steel fabricator. Changes in the original design compromised the structural integrity of the walkways, leading to a severe overload on the connections holding them in place. The fatal decision to use offset sets of rods instead of the original design proved to be disastrous.

Best part of working for a hotel is that if the weather gets bad you get to spend a night in one of the rooms. Made a bit more progress on my leg warmer!

Hyatt Regency Tokyo
東京で宿泊する際には
新宿にすることが多いわたしですが
どうせならハイアットグローバリスト
ヒルトンダイヤモンドのメリットを使いたいので、
ハイアットかヒルトンにすることに。
かといって、パークハイアットを定宿にするほどでもないので
ハイアットリージェンシー東京に泊まることが多いのです。
むかしからあるホテルなので知名度は高いこのホテル。
近年、省力化に舵切りをしていて
プールがいまはなくなってしまったのは残念。
飲食はなかなかいいお店があって
中華の翡翠宮は東京の中華でも好きな店です。
また、最近、館内になだ万が3店舗できました。
ただ、なだ万三兄弟は ハイアットの飲食クレジットだけでなく
ハイアットのポイントも加算対象です。
パブリックスペースは非常に豪華。
昔から有名な大きなシャンデリアをはじめ
椅子の数が多く宿泊者以外でも 椅子に座って休めます。
最近、休めない作りのホテルも多いですから…
ここの客室設定ですが
エグゼクティブクラブフロアが低層階なのも
ちょっと面白いつくりです。
スイートのベッドルームも木目を生かした作り
昼は都庁がよくみえるのですが
夜もこの通り
バスルームも広くてよい!
アメニティはRENで香りも質もよいのです。
リビングも広くて一人では持て余してしまいますね
なぜ低層階にクラブフロア?と思いきや
新宿中央公園の緑を堪能してほしいとのこと。
いかにもスイートでございます!!
という感じではないインテリアが私は好きです。

On July 17, 1981, the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, suffered the structural collapse of two overhead walkways. Loaded with partygoers, the concrete and glass platforms cascaded down, crashing onto a tea dance in the lobby, killing 114 and injuring 216. Kansas City society was affected for years, with the collapse resulting in billions of dollars of insurance claims, legal investigations and city government reforms.
The Hyatt had been built just a few years before, during a nationwide pattern of fast-tracked large construction with reduced oversight and major failures. Its roof had partially collapsed during construction, and the ill-conceived skywalk design progressively degraded due to a miscommunication loop of corporate neglect and irresponsibility. An investigation concluded that it would have failed even under one-third of the weight it held that night. Convicted of gross negligence, misconduct and unprofessional conduct, the engineering company lost its national affiliation and all engineering licenses in four states, but was acquitted of criminal charges. Company owner and engineer of record Jack D. Gillum eventually claimed full responsibility for the collapse and its obvious but unchecked design flaws, and he became an engineering disaster lecturer.
The disaster contributed many lessons and reforms to engineering ethics and safety, and to emergency management. It was the deadliest non-deliberate structural failure since the collapse of Pemberton Mill over 120 years earlier, and remained the second deadliest structural collapse[2]: 4 in the United States until the collapse of the World Trade Center towers 20 years later.
