Review: Park Hyatt Sydney | Prince of Travel

The Park Hyatt Sydney is arguably one of Hyatt’s most attractive properties around the world and holds a special appeal for many World of Hyatt loyalists.

Nestled on the city’s waterfront, this hotel offers stunning views of the iconic Sydney Opera House that are second to none.

The Park Hyatt is also widely regarded as Sydney’s finest luxury hotel, especially in a market where high-end options are somewhat scarce compared to Sydney’s status as a major global hub.

Park Hyatt Sydney – Booking

The Park Hyatt Sydney moved up in the World of Hyatt award chart from Category 7 to Category 8 in March 2022. World of Hyatt is one of the last hotel rewards programs to use a published award chart with peak, off-peak, and regular prices.

As a Category 8 property, I booked my stay for the standard rate of 40,000 World of Hyatt points. You’ll also find pricing of 35,000 or 45,000 points on off-peak and peak dates, respectively.

As one of the top properties in Hyatt’s worldwide portfolio, cash rates at the Park Hyatt Sydney tend to fall between $1,000–2,000 AUD ($665–1,330 USD, $880–1,765 CAD), and are widely considered among the most expensive in the area.

Indeed, compared to our valuation of World of Hyatt points at 1.5 cents per point (USD) / 2 cents per point (CAD), I came out well ahead by redeeming points.

If you’re booking a cash rate at the Park Hyatt Sydney, be sure to 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.
