I deeply enjoyed my post-renovation stay at the Park Hyatt Chicago and found the entire hotel to be a vast improvement than it was pre-renovation. I would easily return - Chicago has so many good choices it's hard to choose!
Pros:
Pros:
- Breakfast at NoMI is so fantastic - my pancakes, eggs, bacon, and coffee were even more fantastic than the beautiful Lake Michigan view and was fully covered (came out to around $45)
- Upgraded to a Chicago Avenue Suite on the 18th (top) floor
- Service was much better and uniform than my last stay - bellhop rang in my name to the front desk before check-in, everyone saying Good Morning across the lobby as I walked off the elevator
- Suite was frankly beautiful, and furnishings were quite comfortable
- They have kept many of the great aspects - bathrooms open to windows, window benches
- No issue with 4 PM checkout
- Turndown service offered
- Handwritten note from the GM (though, no welcome gift - Marriott has spoiled me with the macarons they keep giving me)
- Shower was fantastic - turn on both heads for a light but full water flow that is peaceful and effective
- Bean-shaped tub was much more comfortable than it looks
- Automated Toto washlet toilets
- I've never seen automated windows shades so quiet
- The bed linens had a strong similarity to Hyatt Regency linens and were not as plush as other 5 star hotels in competing brands - regardless, I slept very well, and the bed was more comfortable than it looked
- Room was quoted as being ready in 1 hour as no one was occupying it, but it was closer to 1 hour and 45 minutes
- Mirror lights in dressing room non-functional - was told these were disabled across the hotel for safety
- No real working desk - small table and chair - I chose to work on the window bench, which was kind of novel and not too uncomfortable

Of course, I included it for interest and definitely am not holding this point as a negative against the property. I'm not crazy.

I just booked a week at the Park Hyatt. The first 4 days for work and then wife joining for the weekend. I was able to book the Chicago Ave Suite but also had the option for the Nomi Suite. As I'm not traveling with kids and don't really need the second bedroom, would the Nomi suite be a more interesting option? Side note: The Twitter concierge is awesome. I really appreciate all of their help
