Comparing this "pile" (credit Pickles) to FS and R-C is an insult to both and even to the PH name. This property is NOT worthy of the Park designation. If you have stayed at Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and Goa Park Hyatts prepare to be disappointed by this "Park".

But then again, it has its historic and rustic "charm" and an amazing view....those are all I would say are this hotel's selling points.....calling this "pile" a luxury hotel is a perfect example of the misuse of the word "luxury."

I am happy to report that this pile is now been downgraded from Park Hyatt to Hyatt Regency. That is a welcome development. The PH Johannesburg has also been stripped into a HR, which makes my worst 2 Hyatt stays ever seem less pathetic in retrospect.
