Park Hyatt New York REVIEW - MASTER THREAD

The service is spectacular and worthy of five stars. The pool, sauna, jacuzzi and gym are terrific and I found the food delicious, including homemade pasta bolognese and cheese plate at 2a

Park Hyatt New York REVIEW - MASTER THREAD

I looked into booking a virtuoso rate here and using a dsu. The hotel told my agent that the dsu can only be applied if booking directly with GP. First time I have has trouble using a suite upgrade with a virtuoso rate.

All I have to say is that I am disappointed that they do not have a Tokyo Bar & Grill.

Sorry, but wouldn't you expect a different level of service from a Grand Hyatt, Andaz, and Park Hyatt? Isn't that the point of having different levels of brands? Isn't that why we pay such premiums to stay at a PH? I imagine that brands like GH and locations like Wall Street are used to having guests who are a little more independent than you are. Would you have asked this of the Hyatt Place in Midtown?

Hi Coggie,

Yes, that was my point. I was trying to illustrate the different levels of service using my case as an example. And this difference is what sets apart the PHNY from Grand Hyatt and the Andaz (and the reasons for the premium price of PHNY).

On another note, although one would expect the Park Hyatt brand to deliver better service than Grand Hyatt/Andaz/Hyatt Regency, my experience in Asia is that all these brands deliver a very high level of services. I have yet to experience a Hyatt Place so I have nothing to comment on this.

+1 from me too. It would have been clever! They could grill okonomiyaki, there seems to be a serious lack of okonomiyaki places in NYC.

I never really took advantage of any of a hotel's gracious service (fairly low maintenance). Other than arranging travel logistics, what else do people expect in terms of hotel service?

+1. May help draw the desired clientele without torturing the rest of us with the hard beds.

Booking restaurants, tickets to the US Open, Broadway theatres, arranging transportations, changing flights --- just to name a few. You should really utilize the expertise of the hotel that you stay at. They have the local knowledge and are more than willing to help out (as in the case of PHNY). This is how I get to know to best places to visit and restaurants to eat in all the major cities that I have visited.

I am independent enough to book my tickets and change my flights, but in this case I had a real need to lend support from the hotel staff. I am in a foreign city where I had no access to a phone (except a hotel phone). The only way I could change my flight itinerary is to ring Cathay Pacific (either via their local or overseas office). And for people who know Cathay Pacific, you will need to be on queue on the phone for 30 minutes to an hour before you get to speak to their operators. I once did this via the hotel phone, and the cost came to 1300+ USD. I have learnt that the best way to deal with such an inconvenience is to ask the hotel staff to take care of it, and they are more than willing to help.

No mobile phone with something like Skype? And you call yourself a traveler :-).

But if they are willing, you have saved yourself quite some time. But I'm personally very reluctant to let others near my reservations. A mistake is easily made and then you are screwed.

Thanks for starting the wiki. As I mentioned before, the breakfast here seems a bit weak. I would love to know what services are available at this top tier Hyatt.
