The Park
Hyatt Dubai is situated along Dubai Creek, and is a short taxi ride from the
airport.
The
entrance to the hotel is a long winding road (much like The Beatles song) with
several outcroppings that lead to the yacht club.
The
lobby of the hotel is rather small with no seating area.
The concierge desk is located to the right,
as is the bell desk.
The front desk is
located to the left.
Check-in
was friendly and efficient. All Hyatt
Diamond benefits were clearly explained.
I originally booked the room using points prior to the recent
devaluation, but later changed the reservation to a Points & Cash booking
as this would allow me garner valuable stay credits. I also used a Suite Upgrade for the two
nights of my stay. A Park King room was
going for about $425 per night, while the Park Suite was going for about $915
per night.
A
hotel employee escorted me to the room and showed me all of the features of the
room. I was glad for the escort as the
property is spread out and is a maze if you are not familiar with the property.

| Only 3 Rooms on the Floor |
 |
| Park Suite |
The
lobby is located on the third floor, and my room was on the fifth floor. However, the number of the room was 3503
(rather confusing!). The great part
about this room is that there are only 3 rooms on this section of the floor.
 |
| Living Room |
Upon
entering the Park Suite, there is a small hallway that opens up into the living
room. The living room contains a
comfortable sofa, two chairs, a coffee table and an end table.
 |
| Fruit Plat |
Curiously, there was a chocolate fruit tart wising us a "Happy Anniversary" but it was not our anniversary. We were here during my wife's birthday however.
 |
| Chocolate Tart |
There
was a large bowl of fruit on the coffee table which contained bananas, apples,
nectarines, plums, strawberries, grapes and rambutan.
 |
| Dubain Creek |
The
living room has large windows overlooking the creek with a small balcony that
runs along the entire length of the room.
 |
| Desk |
 |
| Snacks & Wine |
To the
left of the living room is a large L-shaped desk with plenty of workspace. There is a small table behind the desk that
held three containers of snacks including almonds, candy bars and cookies, as
well as a bottle of wine.
 |
| Coffee Maker & Water |
The
desk area also contains the coffee maker with ample bottles of extra water.
 |
| Guest Bath |
 |
| Guest Bath |
There
is a half bath located next to the work space which is rather large. It has a single sink with plenty of counter
space, along with a toilet and bidet.
The toiletries are Le Labo brand.
 |
| View to Bedroom |
The
living room separates the bedroom with two large double doors.
 |
| King Bed |
The
bedroom is rather large with a very soft and comfortable king bed with plenty
of space to walk around.
There is a
chair in the corner with a dresser in the opposite corner.
 |
| Bathroom |
 |
| Bathrooom |
The
bathroom is located behind the bed and is open.
The shower is somewhat see-through and the bathroom door is also made of
glass. The tub sits in the middle of the
bathroom, so privacy is at a minimum.
 |
| Shower |
The
shower has a hand held shower head, as well as a rain shower option. The shower is rather long and also holds a
small wooden bench.
 |
| Toilet |
The
bathroom has both a toilet and bidet.
 |
| Closet |
 |
| Closet |
There
are closets on either side of the countertops with one being semi-walk-in.
 |
| Pool |
The
pool is on the smaller side, but there are ample lounge chairs surrounding the
pool.
Although the pool is small I
wouldn’t imagine that it would ever get too crowded as I did not see many small
children at the hotel.
 |
| Gym |
The
gym is of decent size with several treadmills, elliptical machines and
stationary bikes. There is a small free
weight area with dumbbells, as well as a weight machine section.
Breakfast
is located in Café Arabesque and includes the entire buffet plus an item off of
the menu for Diamond members.
The
buffet includes plenty of fresh fruit, bread, pastries, cereal, smoked fish,
cold cuts, vegetables, cheeses, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, eggs, potatoes,
congee, different types of milk and juices, and several other dishes.

Service
at the property was excellent overall, but somewhat slow in the
restaurant. The staff was slow to refill
drinks or clear plates, but everyone was friendly and helpful.
Although
the Park Hyatt Dubai is somewhat far from the beach and other points of
interest taxis are cheap, and they do have house taxis that can also be
utilized. They can also arrange
transportation to Abu Dhabi about $100 one way.
Best of all, when utilizing the house cars they can be billed to your
room so extra points can be earned.
