Can we get some more Park Hyatts please?!
I think we need more Park Hyatt's. The following would be real nice:
Jackson Hole
Las Vegas
New York (Supposedly in the works.)
Maldives (OMG YES!!!!!!!!!)

There is an infinite number of locations I'd prioritize higher than both SF and LAS. ( then again, I live in the Bay Area and usually stay with friends/family in Vegas, so I am clearly biased)

LAS has a ton of other very nice properties, and honestly, there is not really a market for a PH here if you ask me. SF has several hyatts already and I would place many other locations on the list over SF or LAS. How about Madrid, Rome, Athens, Amsterdam?

PH San Francisco was nice, several dozen suites, but otherwise the only really classy Park Hyatt like part of the hotel was the name of the main restaurant...

Villa Magna Hotel
There were rumors of a Park Hyatt Rome, but that never came to fruition:

Andaz Amsterdam is in the works:

Munich, Germany.
But only with top location in the city center. There used to be a project for a 5* superiour hotel at famous shopping street Maximilianstrasse (former "Residenzpost" opposite Opera). It was designated for a luxury hotel, there were rumours it could become an IC hotel. Finally, as it is a monumentally protected building, I understood the authorities denied the construction of an additional floor on top which would have been necessary to have enough space for rentability running the operations (attic floor for suites). Now the owners started to build luxury appartements in that building.
Such locations are rare in Munich. The "old bulls" are "Kempinski Vier Jahreszeiten" at Maximilianstrasse and "Bayerischer Hof" at Promenadeplatz and they have such locations. "Mandarin Oriental" in a small street very close to Maximilianstrasse is no. 3, I would guess. Rocco Forte´s "The Charles Hotel" is newer and nice but located too near to main station in my eyes, which is not a good place for high class shops and hotels.
A Park Hyatt in Munich would fit in the luxury scene in the center, but the most difficult here is to find the adequate location, which is also expensive in Munich.

In the early years of the last decade, Hyatt was rumoured to be a contender for prime locations in both Vienna and Munich. MO won the race in Munich in the end, in Vienna the sale/management contract also did not go into Hyatt's direction. Both Vienna and Munich are still among the very few worthwhile cities in Western Europe, otherwise the yield in Russia and Asia is simply in another league in comparison to Europe.

for one i would like a proper PH in Zurich - the current one is at best a GH if it was anywhere else......would be nice to have a PH resort near Zurich too
whilst at it they ought to get a Geneva location too
in Asia - cites crying out for a PH are Hong Kong , Bangkok , Taipei and Singapore

One thing we need to keep in mind with these locational wishes for a PH is the rates achievable - as much as I wish there was one in SF - won't happen any time soon - rates are dismal there.

The PH Zurich is really a wonderful properly... not GH-like at all IMHO. Definitely way above typical Swiss standards - as nice as the PH DC in my books and far better than any GH I've ever stayed in.
