If you already reserved a room at the Hyatt, your reservation is automatically moved to the Ritz. There is nothing more you need to do. If you reserved a room at a hotel near the Hyatt but would like to stay at the Ritz, they have opened a block of rooms until Feb 5, 2020. Please click here to reserve a room. The rate is $209/night for as long as they have rooms available. If you wait until after Feb 5 to reserve a room, there will no longer be a discounted rate available; you'll pay whatever the regular hotel rate is. 

If you wish to stay at the hotel you booked, it's a 20-25 minute drive to the Ritz-Carlton from the Hyatt.
