It’s ridiculous that Hyatt doesn’t have a brand standard for Park Hyatt on that front, or at least a certain amount of approval. Strangely enough, the toiletries are one of the biggest things customers notice and leave an impact.

The purple and white Pharmacopia face soap is no longer round: it's a funny angled shape, vaguely oval but with angles and corners. I suspect it's somewhat smaller. I got the opaque pure white version at a USA HR last week, although the bath soap was the old nice one that's creamy beige colored and a bit translucent.

Ah I see. That sucks. The generic soap sucks. Didn't know he's GM at both PH. I'm at the PH Seoul now. Definitely noticing some big differences from my stay before covid. I was at the GH Seoul earlier this month too, but I don't remember what soap I had. Won't have time to check out the Andaz/GH Incheon this trip just for comparison sake.

Agree on the Balmain toiletries at Grand Hyatt's, which I also find at Sofitel's. Not a fan of their strong, aftershave like scent. Not really any imporvement over the fake green tea scent of the June Jacobs stuff that was the previous brand standard.

The Balmain toiletries are awful, the formula for their soap, shampoo, conditioner, body gel, and lotion are worse than drugstore generics.

This is probably the no. 1 downside to the GH brand for me.

Currently at the Andaz Savannah I have never seen tubes this big before. Im used seeing the size of the one in the middle. Do any other properties have these sizes also?

IME it's common for suites to have larger sized toiletries.
