Perth Hyatt a bargain

We made our second stay at the Hyatt Regency Perth last month (proir stay 2 years ago). At only 5000 points per night it is a really deal.

Check in is great. Parking is A$10 self park and A$15 valet. Call 20 or more minutes before you want your car as service demands are sometime overpowering for the staff. They also act as the bellmen and concierge. They do an average minus job ot the latter.

Last trip we were given a suite (wife Diamond) but we only swang a normal Regency room this trip on a non smoking floor (6, RC on 8). Room was average, but with a spectacular view of the Swan. Two robes. Water pressure excellent. Bed very comfortable. Quiet.

The core are of this hotel is really quite elegant. Piano player, water elements, nice seating, good service and lots of open space. As part of a larger structure, there are eateries both in the hotel (3)and in the adjoining buildings.

We ordered room service twice. Service was prompt and as ordered.

The Diamond amedity was a dish of a few nice candies and two bottles of water.

The Regency Club was redone since our last stay. The furniture wes upgrade materially, as was the accessories. The breakfast service is full continental. The evening is a bit more of a disappointment. Only two nights a week do they have hot food. The other nights you get a couple of bread types brought to you or three canapes. Drinks are free. They are brought to you. It is almost impossible to make your own, therefore you might have to wait a few minutes when they are busy. The view from the club is, again, the Swan River. RC is on 8 and requires a special key for access on the elevator. You can also walk down from 9. During the day they have cookies, orange juice, cold water and coffee. Sodas are not available during the day.

The hotel is not as close to the action as many, so I suggest a car. For things to do in Western Australia, look for my trip report to be posted in a couple days. Note this is our second trip, so many of the things that were of greatest value to us were done two years ago.
