Introduction As part of my Asia Pacific trip in April, I had a business meeting in SYDNEY, Australia, and stayed at the newly re-done Park Hyatt Sydney for 6 nights. It's certainly one of the priciest hotel in Australia. Fortunately we had a corporate rate which was still &gt;$600 AUD per night.<br><br>The hotel did a very nice job renovating the entire building. Everything was well done, and almost every room has a view of the harbour. They added a top floor - which is the ultra Penthouse suites with amazing terrace and views. The pool area is very nice (although the temperature in the pool was too hot for my taste).<br><br>Almost all of the staff are new, but very well trained and professional. They made an effort to greet you by name and say hello.&nbsp;<br><br>Dinning is a bit of hit and miss... The pastry chef from France is very good.. and I made sure to have his desserts before bed each night. The main dining room offered "Australian" cuisine - lots of pricy grilled items, which while tasty was not worth the price. Nothing that wowed me. Pro's 1) Rooms are large, and great view of the harbour<br>2) Service was very good - most of the folks are new, but they try very hard<br>3) Beautiful pool area<br>4) Public spaces are open and airy, lots of light everywhere<br>5) state of the art gym equipment - they are the first to have the new Technogym treadmill with internet and large screen.<br>6) Concierge always helpful<br>7) Easy walk to the Sydney Bridge (I went running across the bridge each morning).<br>8) Love the balcony in each room to catch the ocean breeze and to relax and read a book. Con's 1) Expensive - you are paying for the view and proximity to the harbour - it quite a trek to the business center. I had a car to pick me up each morning.<br>2) Rooms can be dark<br>3) Lousy turndown service... made the bed, bottle water, and that's it.. no slippers under floor, no chocolates<br>4) Mediocre and expensive food offering - limited menu<br>5) $39/day for internet Yikes! I did go to Telstra and got the 5GB data card for $35<br>6) King bed is actually 2 double beds put together.. the wedge is not noticeable.
