Review: Park Hyatt Auckland | Prince of Travel

Upon my arrival from French Polynesia into Auckland, my first destination was the newly established Park Hyatt Auckland, a prestigious recent addition to the Hyatt portfolio.

The Park Hyatt Auckland is a luxurious waterfront property that opened in 2020 and has quickly established itself as a top-tier property in both Auckland and New Zealand as a whole.

Auckland is one of my favourite cities in the world, and after a lengthy absence due to the pandemic, I was looking forward to kicking off my long-awaited return at this gorgeous property.

Park Hyatt Auckland – Booking

As a luxury property within Hyatt’s portfolio, the hotel’s nightly rates begin at $430 NZD ($260 USD, $350 CAD) and climb to $800 NZD ($485 USD, $640 CAD) during peak times.

The Park Hyatt Auckland is currently a Category 5 property under the World of Hyatt loyalty program, and I paid a standard rate of 20,000 World of Hyatt points. You’ll also find pricing of 17,000 or 23,000 points on off-peak and peak dates, respectively.

We value Hyatt points at 1.5 cents per point (USD) or 2 cents per point (CAD). In this case, my redemption beat out our target valuations, and I was pretty pleased with the value.

If you’re booking a cash rate at the Park Hyatt Auckland, get in touch with a travel advisor with access to Hyatt Privé, Hyatt’s preferred partner program.

You’ll pay the same as the publicly available refundable rate, but you’ll get extra perks such as free breakfast, a $100 (USD) property credit, a room upgrade, and more.
