I have an upcoming stay and read the entire thread. I saw some common themes, and thought it would be useful to start a wiki. Please feel free to update or correct anything. I haven't stayed here, so the information is based on the contents of the thread:
- Diamond Suite Upgrades are NOT available at this property.
- Diamond members receive a complimentary full breakfast for up to 4 guests.
- The beds are very firm platform beds. I saw a few posts where a foam pad for the top of the bed was requested.
- Docked cruise ships that may obstruct the view from the Harbour view rooms.
- The hotel is 4 stories.
The concierge desk offers a weekly tour of the Rocks on Saturday.
Link that shows when cruise ships will be docked opposite the hotel:

It would be awesome but access to the area is chaos. I used to work at PH many years ago and left the property around 6PM. The Rocks was just crazy full of people everywhere.

With all due respect, this sounds more like a romance than a hotel review. You are absolutely correct that the high rates this hotel demands set high expectations. And that should include the F&B (restaurant) side of the house too. Simply being nice and friendly doesn't do the trick at nearly $1,000 a night.

In other words you have no first hand experience and are speculating.
The majority of your stays based on your contributions here have been at the Hilton and IC and you had one stay at the PHS in the days before NYE and your only comment was that the breakfast was not up to your expectations.
Isn't it a bit far stretched to conclude from your breakfast experience that there is a permanent failure and the world is coming to an end?
I have already identified some poster to warm up old stories from times before the renovation and would hence not take FT posts for granted either. Going through this thread again I don't find a large number of complaints here. You might want to take Tripadvisor posts with a pinch of salt but the Park Hyatt Sydney has an overwhelming number of outstanding reviews there.
Maybe you should just stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney for a second time and let us know after that stay? It's always good to base judgement on experience and FT loves valuable contributions.

PHS is amazingly good with returning customers and I cannot find any negative comment from you but one on FT (and you love beating up the property so much...).
I spent 14 nights in 5 stays there in the past 12 months. Do I think they have delivered on their promise on all of the stays? Definitely yes.

And all of your stays were a complete disaster? Credibility of that = zero.

I would not agree that this property is "amazingly good" with returning customers, but I have noticed that they take a different approach to repeat guests. I suspect they do not have many.
I'm glad all of your stays at this property have been satisfactory, but is it too much to ask that you focus on the matter at hand rather than attacking me personally?

Ok knock off the bickering, each stay has its own unique set of circumstances and the reviewers perception is exactly that, a perception. While the perception may not agree with yours, that doesn't make it any less valid. Sometimes one factor, either positive or negative, can sway the perception of the property to the reviewer. Future readers will have to weigh the pros and cons for themselves. There isn't such a thing as an absolute failure or absolute perfection to everyone anyways.
