Park Hyatts (at least the ones I have been to/seen) have never really been "old money" look/feel - that's very much St Regis territory and not really served by Hyatt.
My understanding of the Park Hyatt aesthetic is clean lines, natural materials, airy feeling and luxurious modernity.

I agree with you and that is probably why the price difference between it and Andaz Fifth has been shrinking as its price has come down some from its initial truly absurd rates (they seemed to be under the severely misguided impression they could charge Peninsula level pricing). I think the property has some inherent limitations with lower floors location even if its part of a new iconic building. I have a hard time believing this property will end up a good investment at least over the next few years. The segment they aspire to is incredibly competitive in New York and I think this property has missed the mark. Personally I think its not worth more than $500 a night (on average, not big event weekends) and personally I wouldn't pay more than $450 for it.

Brief One Night Stay (0 Photo)
Park Hyatt New York
Checked in recently for a brief one night stay
Arrived late at night, bellman helped with the bags the moment we pulled up to the door in our limousine. Check in was professional, explained all Diamond benefits and upgraded to a Park Deluxe on a high floor. Granted 4PM late check out. Paid C+P as opposed to the USD $750+ nightly rate.
The hotel is modern, maginificent and stunning.
Arrived to the room to find 3 mandarins. Mentioned that we prefer a selection of fruit and room service arrived with another 10 mandarins in a bowl. We found it quite funny
The Lobster Omlette is incredible
As others mentioned the views here are non existent. It's still an impressiveproperty and the pool in a NYC hotel is the icing on the cake
Would definitely return.

AAA ranking can be taken with a grain of salt, just like Trip Advisor. Media Hub??? i

Park Hyatt New York REVIEW - MASTER THREAD
Continue to enjoy this hotel with points as a diamond. I agree with others that it isn't worth the $$$ they would like to charge. The regular upgrade as a diamond is a great room -- especially compared to the crappy upgrades we received at the GH and the HR Jersey City during the same recent trip. After two rooms that almost seemed like the hotels worst rooms, the large room at the PH was a welcome change.

Planning two night stay at PHNY. Wife is Diamond, I am Plat, first night using wife's DSU on cash and points rate, second night using my free night from Chase CC signup. What are the odds we will have to move for the second night? Might they let us stay in the suite a second night?
Thanks
Thanks

I would call that the exception property besides Park Hyatt Sydney but that is an extraordinary hotel IMHO in many other ways with generosity towards Diamonds
Which Hyatt's have asked you to pay once confirmed?

Would you expand on this? I've never experienced it, and don't quite understand what you are saying. I have been able to book a C+P stay and use a DSU on it, but never a C+P on the upcharge for a suite.

Last summer I booked a cash and points + DSU stay at the Olive 8 in Seattle, over July 4 no less. We decided to drop the Vancouver portion of our trip, so I booked a separate stay at Olive 8 (back to back with the previous) on points. At check-in, I asked the front desk if there was anything he could do to keep me in the suite for the whole stay. It appeared that he checked availability, then pulled out a binder, looked at something and said that I could keep the suite for a $50 per night co-pay on the award nights.

In my 30 plus years with Hyatt I have never been asked to pay except at the PHNY

Thank you, PWMTrav, very helpful. I've never tried to marry a stay that combines some nights confirmed in a suite, and some nights that are in regular rooms, so have had no reason to experience this. It's great to know your experience.

I've typically found the vast majority of hotels to extend by a night or two whenever I have done a combination of confirmed revenue and award space
In fact in NYC @ Andaz Fifth Avenue my first night was on points and the remaining 4 revenue nights was with a DSU
They generously upgraded the first night to a suite giving us 5 nights in a suite^
Surprisingly when I couldn't all 6 nights in a suite on points the hotel in Hawaii upgraded the 2 unavailable nights in inventory where I didn't use additional points to upgrade and complimentary upgraded those as well
I'm always surprised when guests get the hard sell who have earned their Diamond status
The majority of Hyatt hotels really want to make guests happy^

I didn't intend to - by the time we decided to change our stay, cash and points was no longer available and rates had gone WAY up. It was either points with the potential of changing rooms, or changing hotels to the Grand (across the street). We figured we'd change rooms, but the hotel was really helpful. It doesn't hurt that the Olive 8 confirms into a suite that they have many of - each floor has one on the same corner of the building.
