If you dish out $ 700-800 in Zuerich or Milan, you can expect to be treated well, Diamond status might enhance the treatment, but again the Park Hyatt properties in Europe are not known to go out of their way for many normal and even really good & loyal Diamond members.
Geez I really have to disagree with you, at least from my experiences in Europe at not only PH but "regular" Hyatt's. Now having said that maybe we were lucky each stay but always got what I thought was a little more from the staff, nothing a number of times my status.
I do agree that european hoteliers are much better schooled at their trade than most US properties, save the very highest.
