Availability of Park Hyatt Sydney for Free Nights
Hello All,
I am planning on applying for the Hyatt Credit Card that comes with 2 free nights at any property worldwide. I will be traveling to Sydney in February of 2013 for a nice long vacation and was wondering what the chances are of being able to use these 2 free nights at the Park Hyatt in Sydney? I have been unsuccessful in my search on the Hyatt website to view availability of this.
This may not be easy to look up but I just want to know if there is a good chance of being able to use the free nights at this particular hotel. I dont want to get the card to find out that I can not use these for what I want.
Thank you.

You can check, if the hotel has availability for a revenue stay in the base room category, City Harbor King / Twin it would be available for award stay. In the past this property hasn't presented lots of problems but who know with the redo.

I really gotta wonder -- since this method is so precise and straightforward, and since this question is asked so regularly on this forum: why the heck doesn't the Hyatt website do the exact same check and report back availability automatically? Or does it?

You used to be able to check award availability without logging in and having points in your account.
The geniuses at Hyatt IT decided that you not only had to log in, you also had to have 5,000 points.
So now people can't even check if they don't have enough points. I guess it's also a good way to keep the customer service reps employed

Have been looking into using the CC reward night here as well.
Thought this might be of interest to anyone out there doing the same.

I just booked 5 nights in early Feb. 2013 at the Park Hyatt Sydney. Seemed to have plenty of availability on all of the nights I searched around them, too. However I noticed I was only able to get a King bed, which was fine for my circumstances but may not be for yours.
OP, if there are specific dates you want me to check, PM me and I'll be happy to do it. Have plenty of GP points in my account with which to check.

But, none of these are "suites". The Opera/City King Deluxe are about 75 square meters per Hyatt.com so they are rather spacious.

Also, when on a Hyatt award stay, do the typical Hyatt elite benefits apply? (I am Platinum). I have done many SPG award stays but never any with Hyatt.
Thanks so much.

I was just able to book a reservation for two nights in mid-February using my free night certificates without any difficulty whatsoever. The agent even remarked that there is plenty of availability using points/certs for the timeframe I was inquiring about. Very pleased that I can use these certificates on my desired dates at a property such as the PH Sydney! ^
