A few months ago, Hyatt had a promotion where you would get – for a four nights stay – the fourth night free together with a generous $600 dollar resort credit. That’s pretty remarkable by itself; however, by booking through Club Prive’ you would also get an additional $100 resort credit PLUS complimentary breakfast. Given …

Mrs. J took two years off from diving. However, she dusted off the old GoPro for some scuba diving in the Maldives. While she opted out of the shark dive at the Equator, she enjoyed a dive on a reef shelf and one in a coral garden. Here are a couple of her GoPro Hero […]

Park Hyatt has been out with a promotion this summer to get a $100 credit on a 2+ night stay with coupon code PYS100. The terms do not seem to exclude an award stay, though I’ve read mixed reports about whether or not it will work if you’re using your Hyatt points. Unfortunately, the code increases the rate on paid stays, so this one may be less of a deal than it appears to be on the…

We loved staying right in the center of the Recoleta district of Buenos Aires on our trip to Argentina. While there are many wonderful neighborhoods in BA (all with very different personalities), this area is considered by many to be the most affluent neighborhood in the city, filled with lavish homes and fancy shops and restaurants. The famous Recoleta Cemetery is also located in this area, so there’s plenty to see and do all around.
BOOKING
We booked with Hyatt Cash+Points for $125 + 10,000 points per night. Cash rates are easily in the $500+ range, so it makes redeeming points a very attractive offer.
We used a Suite Night Award and were booked into a “Park Suite King” and “59 to 72 sqm: Sitting area: Shower and bathtub: Flat TV: DVD: Butler.”
CHECK-IN
When we were headed to the hotel from the domestic airport (Buenos Aires-AEP), the cab driver had never heard of the hotel– we had to show him name of hotel– but it wasn’t until he read the address that he finally had a general idea of where to take us. Then, he drove right past the entrance, but we said it was fine and just jumped out at the intersection. Walking up, the hotel staff obviously seemed a bit confused that we were arriving by (what looked to be) foot.
At check-in, she confirmed our stay and rate and said, “we have a great room for you in our historic building” — perfect. As it turns out, there are essentially 2 hotels in one: a newer building with many more rooms and the old, renovated “palace” or mansion, connected by a courtyard (and underground walkway).

ROOM
The room, a Park Suite on the Palace side, was very well appointed but somewhat small. In fact, I’m not sure that it could even qualify as a “suite” as it had no separate sitting area or room, just a bedroom with a very large bathroom. From what we’ve read online, the suites are much larger in the newer, more contemporary building, but we really liked the style, feel and decor of the Palace building with the very stately feel of the deep molding around the ceiling and the huge antique windows.

Within a few hours of checking in, two of the “butlers” arrived with our welcome gift: a fruit tray with apples, some type of chocolate snack and a bottle of Malbec wine.
BATHROOM
The bathroom was huge- almost as big as the bedroom itself. There’s a bathtub in the main, open area with the sinks and then a closed-in shower and separate toilet area. Plenty of space for two people to get ready at the same time.
SERVICE
While we didn’t need anything special while we were there, we found the service at check-in, breakfast, etc. to be top-notch. They were very helpful if needed, and friendly- everything we’ve come to expect and appreciate in a Park Hyatt.

PROPERTY
The historic property feels regal and luxurious and, for us, provided a comfortable […]

One of my favorite features of a “high-end” hotel room is a beautiful bath tub. When I am home I rarely ever soak in the tub, but when on holiday in a beautiful hotel with a beautiful tub, I simply can not help myself. To Soak or to Skip? I know that there is always […]

During our visit to the Park Hyatt Ningbo, I was fortunate enough to try out the on site “Yue Hu Spa.” The Park Hyatt Ningbo rests upon the Dong Qian Lake in Ningbo, China.

The last time I reviewed the Park Hyatt Zurich was in 2011. Six years later, not much as changed. In the case of this property, that is a good thing. The hotel is located in the heart of Zurich on Beethoven-Strasse, a fairly quiet city street within walking distance of Lake Zurich. The lobby has […]

During longer holidays my family tries to go deeper and travel farther when we have time on our side.

I spent Monday night at the Park Hyatt Toronto, a hotel that will soon close until late 2019 for refurbishment. Part of me is sad to see it change. To be sure, the hotel does not fit in with the modern design found at newer Park Hyatt properties. It is not ultra-modern and minimalist. The […]

Confession: when flying to Bangkok last month I chose to connect in Hangzhou just to spend a night in this new Park Hyatt property. It did not disappoint. Admittedly, I hate splurging for a nice hotel when I arrive into a city late in the evening, but since I had a late flight the next night I […]
