From a report by "The Lobbyist" in the May 12, 2003, issue of "Fortune:"
"My friends who dabble in the black art of marketing have a word they reserve for those they really want to insult: ASPIRATIONAL. The new Park Hyatt, steps from the Place Vendome, is just that."
Another brief quote:
"I wasn't the only guest knocking on the marble walls, marveling at their hollowness."
For the full review, which I would characterize as negative, go to
