Anyone stayed at the Park Hyatt Istanbul lately? Since three managers (Mr. Takang, Kevin and Antony) left the property - how are things going? Would love to come back anytime soon but they were so amazing and went out of their way to create the most personalized service I ever experienced at a luxury hotel, so I'm curious what Hyatt did to 'replace' them.

I was just there last week. Didn't get the name of the general manger, but the service is still great and wonderful. The manager did come to speak to me regarding an amenity - but all was fine. The french concierge is still there - quite amazing overall.
The staff is wonderful. The only other hotel that I have experienced that comes close (in terms of overall experience) is the Aman resorts / GHM hotels - and thats a very high standard
All Park Hyatt's should be like the one at Macha Plas.

Private Tour Guide in IST?
By chance, has anyone hired a private tour guide in IST that they would recommend?

Yes, Helen is the french woman who has lived in Istanbul for 7 years, and she is still there. My wife and I just completed a stay at the Park Hyatt. She was a great help to us as well as Erhan at the front door. Maerve (sp?) at the restaurant was very attentive also for our diamond breakfasts each morning.
Overall it was a wonderful trip for us. A great hotel. The Spa Room pushed our experience at the hotel above our trips to the Park Hyatt Chicago, though both hotels are amazing.

For some reason, the hotel seems very busy during the work week, but it got less crowded toward the weekend when we were there. I would have expected the opposite. Maybe you'll be able to change rooms on Thursday?
Thanks,

I have a promotional award good for one night stay at any worlwide Hyatt property (exp 11/30/10) and can't seem to find any available nights at this property. Has anyone successfully booked a promotional award night at this hotel or does it not participate?

You actually need to call Hyatt for promotional award night for PH Istanbul. I just booked my stay for January. Enjoy!

diamond amenity
A side question: as a diamond (or plat extra award certificate holder), what kind of welcome amenity (food & beverage) shall I expect in PH Istanbul? I didn't see much other than a fruit plate from this thread. Thanks!

they did finally offer me a normal room out the back( I have a suite)but added that on satuday night there would be a party at the pool till midnight- so not ideal but how bad can a party be??
but the noise subsided a bit that day so i declined
then at 2am (yes 2 AM!) they started cutting granite with a brick saw for about an hour.
it was a bit quieter yesterday.though we took off at 10 and didnt come back till 7
i have just come in after breakky and the jackhammers are going.
the whole building is shaking.
I think most other countries would have blocked the rooms at the front till the work was done.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I do know that the street in front was being re-done, but it was supposed to have been finished 3 days ago, according to what we were told.
