Park Hyatt Zurich


Street Marquee

The Park Hyatt Zurich is located in the commercial and financial district area of Zurich.  Located just minutes from the Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich’s main downtown street and home to some of the world’s most expensive shopping.  The hotel is also located about 15 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof, the main train station.

Outdoor Lounge

Upon entering the hotel there are several doormen to warmly greet you.

Park Executive King

The front desk is located to the left.  I arrived at the hotel around 1:00 PM and was upgraded to a Park Executive King, unfortunately my room was not ready.

I spoke with the Concierge who was very friendly and helpful, and gave some marvelous sightseeing suggestions.
Fruit Plate
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Upon entering the room, there was a welcome amenity consisting of a fruit plate which was replenished daily.  There were also some chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of wine.

Blause Mautin Products

The bathroom is rather large and is located to the right of the entrance.  There is ample counter space with full size Blaise Mautin bath products.

Tub
There is a tub and separate shower.

Toilet
The toilet is located in it’s own room.

You can enter the bedroom from either side of the bathroom.

On one side you can access the door to the room and a hallway that leads to the “living room”.

Towards Closet
The other door to the bathroom leads to the closet and the bed.

The room is sparsely furnished but tastefully decorated.

Sitting Area
There is a sitting area with two chairs and a glass coffee table.

Desk & Bed
There is a glass desk with ample working space with several outlets.

Dresser, TV & "Time-Out" Area
There is a dress with TV with a divider.  There is a small “desk” or table to place your belongings, however there is an ottoman for you to sit.  I guess you can place your significant other in a “time out” here if they’re not behaving.

Coffee Maker
There is a Keurig coffee maker with plenty of coffee capsules.

Bed
There is a platform King bed which is somewhat firm but still comfortable.

Breakfast for Diamond members is served in The Lounge.  There is a small, with meats, cheeses, salads, fruit, pastries, bread, cereal, museli, yogurt and the ability to order an entrée off of the menu.  Some of the items in the buffet looked less than appetizing, as the mesclun salad looked tired and wilted, and the passion fruit was dry and shriveled.

Service at the Park Hyatt Zurich is mostly friendly and professional.  It is a definite benefit if you speak German however, as they were given preferential treatment from what I observed.  All employees are cordial but not overly engaging.  The concierges however are outstanding; charming, friendly and willing to help.

Given it’s location and ease to navigate the city I would not hesitate to stay here again.  I redeemed 22,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points per night, as rates were over $1,000 per night during my stay.  If planning on staying at this property in the future using points, make sure and book your room now before it goes up to 30,000 points per night on January 7, 2014.

    Thanks for the comment and link, but I am not sure that the Holiday Day Inn Express is in the same class as the Park Hyatt Zurich ;o)
