Oh god, I'm an idiot. I thought that I had looked through the entire website, but I guess I didn't scroll down far enough when looking at standard rooms. There are indeed Park Twins. ^

Thanks for the help!

No problem... happens to all of us :-).
Enjoy, it's a great property to use points.

Which should I pick?
A couple of weeks ago I stayed in 3 of those: PH (as Diamond), LM (PLT), IC ( Gold ). The PH is great: lovely property, nice suite upgrade( but internal 'view'), great breakfast FOC that could not be spoiled by the bizarrely inept server, ; LM, great suite, very cheerful and slightly 'hip' atmosphere; IC ( ok but dated and nothing special for me as a Gold). All three are well located (PH and LM) the better for walking sights, IC right opposite Stadtpark U Bahn). Hilton: no idea but if there is only one in Vienna it must be the property at Wien Mitte ( ie extremely convenient for the airport train, direct line).

There's no executive lounge right? Am I supposed to get some points when that happens? I thought Hyatt offers points when lounge is closed.

Thanks

You only get points, when there is a lounge, and it's closed.
Park Hyatts typically do not have lounges (there are some exceptions, like PH Hamburg, PH Melbourne). So points are not given.

I'm sure you're joking, but for those who do want Starbucks, there is one a few blocks away.

The machines are so impressive that I suspect that there must be a way to switch to English and/or imperial units, and instructions on that in the fitness centre would have been helpful.

I just finished up a 5 night stay here at the Park Hyatt Vienna. I booked using P&C + DSU which put me into a Park Suite View room. This property is simply AMAZING. It's probably one of the best non-resort hotels I've ever stayed at (topping PH Vendome, PH Zurich, Conrad Tokyo, PH&GH Tokyo).

The room itself is very modern and has keypads that controls the temp, lights, and curtains. It was a very fancy setup. The location is also is really good as it's walking distance to all the major Vienna historic sites and shopping areas. There's also a U-Bahn(subway/tram) station close by. I did use Uber from the airport to the hotel (since we were travelling with an infant), but walked or took the tram while in the city.

There's a fancy glass elevator that goes to all the floors and a very nice fitness room and pool/sauna/spa. By the changing rooms, there's a waterfall and ice bath shower, showers, sauna, and dry room.

For the Diamond breakfast, there is an extensive buffet, plus you can order items from their placard menu (things like pancakes, waffles, egg florentine, scrambled eggs with truffle, omelettes, etc.) and also drinks (cappuccino, macchiato latte, espresso, etc.)

I did not run into an service issues that people mentioned in this thread. Everyone we interacted with at the hotel was very attentive and helpful. This property really impressed me!

2 nights on C&P + DSU. Very good in general, but allow me to be a spoiled brat for a moment and say there is room for small improvement. Requesting a 2nd bed, only a modest twin bed was provided in living room, no pullout couch, which made me long for the ultra comfortable queen size pull out couch from Fairmont Pacific Rim junior suite. Also there was no way to synchronize the living/bed room TV sound to the bathroom, as several Hyatts in Asia can (HR TST, GH Taipei). Also the lack of a lounge was not ideal.

Breakfast service was slow and indifferent. Otherwise service was excellent.

breakfast question

I think I know the answer to this question, but I'm going to ask anyway. I just booked 3 nights using cash and points for july 2017. I am currently a Hyatt Diamond, but as of Feb 2017 I will go back to being a Platinum. Will I get a free breakfast when staying here next summer or I am out of luck because of the time of stay I will only be a platinum.

Thanks for the response.
