Luxury Hyatt - Where to go?
2 Free nights - Normally a Hilton traveller but want to use these nights.
U.S. or Europe locations. Retired and want to be the "tourist". Not Asia.
Any recommendations. Read thru numerous reviews and rather "overwhelming". Would like nice surroundings, pool, close to attractions.

The Park Hyatt Milano or Paris Vendome are both spectacular hotels that you won't soon forget. If you are interested in either city, then you won't go far wrong.

I'd also recommend the PH Chicago but opinions on that hotel are a bit more scattered on this site.
How about trying the PH Aviara (former FS) in So Cal? I haven't stayed at either that or Hyatt Huntington beach but I'd pick it over the latter.

It does have a pool, but it's pretty small and uninspiring. The location is great and I actually think it's a nice hotel - but not quite as nice as some of the more upmarket PHs (or even its cousin in Washington DC, which could be an option).

Of course, Andaz WeHo is a half-hour drive to the Rose Bowl...

I cannot imagine that drive could be done in a half hour even in the middle of the night, let alone when there was a game on. It could take a half hour to get to the 134 freeway in the Valley over Laurel Canyon and my feeling is that other possible routes are worse. Maybe you have a suggestion I missed?
