Credit Lyonnais has a presence in the Charlotte financial district, and if your work brings you to the city's banking hub, code 13516 gets you a discounted rate at the Hyatt Place right in the middle of Uptown. On a mid-range night, you are looking at $179 instead of $210, and the World of Hyatt points you earn shave the effective cost down even further. For a multi-night trip, which is common for finance teams visiting Carolina operations, the savings compound quickly.
The Property
The Hyatt Place Charlotte Downtown sits at 222 South Caldwell Street, right in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, surrounded by the city's major banking headquarters and office towers. Charlotte Douglas International Airport is about a 12 minute drive, roughly 10 km, making it easy to get in and settled quickly. The hotel carries a 4.3 rating across over 2,000 reviews, which is strong for this price tier in a competitive downtown market.
Hyatt Place rooms follow a consistent layout with a separate sleeping and living area, giving you a couch zone for laptop work or late-night calls that does not involve sitting on the bed. Expect a 42-inch flat screen, a desk with accessible power outlets, and free Wi-Fi. King and double queen configurations are both available, with rooms generally running around 350 square feet.
Hyatt Place includes a complimentary hot breakfast every morning, which is a real perk on a corporate per diem since it effectively removes one meal expense from your day. There is a fitness center on site and an outdoor pool for unwinding after meetings. The 24/7 Gallery Market in the lobby stocks snacks, drinks, and frozen meals if you get back late and do not feel like going out.
The Spectrum Center and Charlotte Convention Center are both within a short walk, as is the Overstreet Mall connector that links several Uptown office buildings without going outside. For dinner, the South End neighborhood is one light rail stop away and packed with restaurants ranging from casual to upscale. The LYNX Blue Line station at Charlotte Transportation Center is about a five minute walk from the hotel, connecting you to suburbs and the university area without needing a rental car.

You earn 895 World of Hyatt points on that stay, valued at roughly $15.21, which brings your effective net cost down to about $163.78, a total saving of $46.22 compared to booking at full price.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold World of Hyatt Discoverist status or above, your elite benefits apply on top of the corporate rate. That means late checkout when available, bonus points on every dollar spent, and room upgrades at Explorist or Globalist tier. Even Discoverist gets you bottled water and preferred rooms, which adds a small but real comfort layer on a work trip.
The World of Hyatt credit card from Chase earns 4x bonus points per dollar on Hyatt purchases, so that $179 night would generate an additional 716 bonus points on top of the 895 base points. The Chase Sapphire Reserve also earns 3x on travel, and those Ultimate Rewards points transfer 1:1 to Hyatt, making it one of the best redemption paths in the points ecosystem.
Check the World of Hyatt promotions page before you book, because Hyatt regularly runs bonus points campaigns like Bonus Journeys or milestone challenges that reward extra stays. Booking midweek, especially Tuesday through Thursday, tends to yield better corporate rate availability in Charlotte since weekend demand from events can tighten inventory.
Bottom Line: Depending on the night and season, Credit Lyonnais employees using code 13516 at the Hyatt Place Charlotte Downtown can expect to save between $28 and $76 per night versus standard pricing. The location is tailor-made for financial services travelers working in Uptown, the breakfast saves you per diem hassle, and the World of Hyatt points you collect along the way add real value toward future free nights.
