Park Hyatt Toronto

Park Hyatt Toronto

The Park Hyatt Toronto is set in swanky Yorkville, where the likes of Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Prada and the like are located.  The area is differentiated from the rest of Toronto as the sidewalks are lined with black granite tiles.  This part of town is some of the most expensive retail space in North America.

Upon entering the Park Hyatt, the front desk is located slightly to the left.  The front desk agent was very friendly, and upon giving her my information merely stated that my room was ready.  She did not acknowledge that I was a Hyatt Gold Passport member, or even that I was a Diamond member.  No amenity was offered, no late check-out, or even where breakfast was served.  Although I applaud her enthusiasm, her lack of acknowledging those loyal to Hyatt was somewhat disappointing.

The lobby is somewhat small and is in need of some updating, as it feels somewhat dated.

The hotel is split into two towers.  I was given a room in the tower with the rooftop lounge.

Park Suite

I used an expiring Hyatt suite upgrade certificate when making my reservations, and was placed into a Park Suite.

Hallway

The hallways of the hotel seem somewhat tired and dated.

Guest Sink

Guest Toilet

Upon entering the room, there is a half bathroom to the right.  There is a large sink with the toilet oddly placed behind a wall.

illy Coffee Maker

An illy coffee maker is to the right of the entryway, with plenty of coffee capsules available.

Living Room

Living Room

Living Room

The living room includes a sofa, lounge chair, desk, coffee table and flat screen TV.  The room feels somewhat cramped due to the amount of furniture.

I also had a surprise waiting for me after entering the room, as I heard someone else inside of the room.  At first, I thought I had been given a room in which another guest occupied, however the person in the room was the housekeeping supervisor who was doing a last minute check of the room.  She was very friendly, and offered several bottles of water.

There is a door that separates the bedroom from the living room, which is great from reducing light and noise.

 

Bedroom

Bedroom

The bedroom is somewhat small with limited space to negotiate around the bed.  The bed is comfortable however.

Sink

The master bathroom contains a sink with almost no counter space.

Shower/Tub Combo

Toilet

There is a shower/tub combo that looks very dated.

Closet

The closet is oddly located inside of the bathroom, and one can walk through the closet and exit through another door and end up at the front door.

View

I had requested a room with a view of the CN Tower which was granted.  The view from the room is spectacular.  The room of the Royal Ontario Museum across the street can be seen.

Breakfast is served in the Annona restaurant.  There is no option for a buffet, and is menu only.  The menu is somewhat limited, but the dishes are high quality with small portions.

I was informed that many professional teams stay at the hotel when in town, which is somewhat surprising.  The hotel could use a renovation to give it a fresher and more updated look.  Front desk service could also use some improvement based upon my stay.
