Review: Park Hyatt Melbourne | Prince of Travel

Upon arriving in Melbourne after visiting Sydney, I made my way to the Park Hyatt Melbourne, located close to the heart of the city.

This particular property doesn’t necessarily have a reputation as one of the best Park Hyatts in the world, but I was still curious to check it out.

Additionally, having stayed at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne on my last visit to the city, I was also keen to see how the higher-end Park Hyatt stacked up.

Park Hyatt Melbourne – Booking

The Park Hyatt Melbourne is moderately priced, with a standard room starting in the region of $250 AUD ($170 USD, $224 CAD). During periods of peak demand, it can often climb to upwards of $500 AUD ($340 USD, $445 CAD).

On the loyalty side, the Park Hyatt Melbourne is a Category 5 property with World of Hyatt, which means that a one-night stay in a base-level room can be booked for 40,000 Hyatt points at the standard rate.

Peak and off-peak pricing at this property changes the cost to 46,000 and 34,000 points, respectively.

For my stay, I made my booking via Hyatt Privé for $280 AUD ( $190 USD, $250 CAD).

Compared to our valuation of World of Hyatt points at 1.5 cents per point (USD) / 2 cents per point (CAD), paying cash was the optimal choice for this stay.

If you’re booking a cash rate at the Park Hyatt Melbourne, 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.
