Park Hyatt Kyoto REVIEW - MASTER THREAD
#436
You've probably forgotten more about toiletries than I'll ever know! At least it's not the supersized dispenser contraption thing, but I'll probably bring some of the stuff from either the PH or HR Tokyo before my stay. Now that we're going to common wash theme, going to start asking housekeeping for extras nightly.
Does anyone have pics of the PH Kyoto suite toiletries?

For those intending to use a TSU, you should note that not all of the Park Suites have a great view like the one that invalyd was given. Both of the Japanese bloggers posted photos of a Park Suite with a garden terrace and zero view. Of course they may both have gotten the same suite. invalyd posted that there are 4 Park Suites. Here is a photo of the view from Park Suite that the Japanese blogger received.

I'm not saying the the made-in-Malaysia Le Labo at PH Kyoto is low quality, just that it, IMO, it is a significant step down from the Aesop at PH Tokyo, when the materials (and for example the Dyson hairdryer) at PH Kyoto are of higher quality than PH Tokyo.
I also do not care at all if they want to offer a special brand of toiletries in the suites. I just meant to say that with all the design emphasis on "wa", and the claims of being rooted in the local Kyoto community, they might have considered using some nice made-in-Japan toiletries.

You had better move fast! Every Globalist planning to stay here is looking to use a TSU, and peak season will be starting from the 3-day weekend of Mar 20-22.

I would book it as soon as possible. I can see the usage disappearing quite soon.

Gonna email my concierge or maybe even call to see if I can secure it. Here's an instance where my preference to avoid reading anything unless absolutely necessary isn't always the best approach. LOL

So it's safe to assume that here there's no complementary "Twilight time" or the like here like the PH Tokyo for Globs and that basically Globs only receive a free Japanese/Western breakfast/upgrades if available?

Eh not the biggest deal, just a shame other lower tiered properties offer at least a welcome drink of the sort.
Not enough of a problem to turn me away but an annoyance when virtually every other Hyatt in Japan does something decent for globalists aside from breakfast.
Do we know if they offer rental bikes or not yet?

As for toiletries, most places will swap available toiletries for you if you just ask them to. That's how I always get Ren at HR Tokyo and Argan at Andaz Tokyo.

And although things may have changed, I do not recall anything extra from HR Tokyo, GH Tokyo, HR Osaka, or HR Naha.
