Park Hyatt Melbourne - Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"First impressions? The smaller of Melbourne's two inner-city Hyatts also boasts more serene surrounds (it does, indeed, abut a park) and more generous guest rooms, plus the brand's usual upmarket touches. What’s the crowd like? Business travelers, Hyatt loyalists from overseas. Tell us about the rooms. The standard guest room is a cavernous 48 square meters (517 square feet)—purportedly the city's largest entry-level room—and is as well-appointed as many suites elsewhere. Marble bathtubs, Le Labo toiletries, and walk-in closets create a sense of indulgence that's rare in Australian hotels. How about the little things, like Wi-Fi? Unlike some big-chain hotels in Australia, the Park Hyatt's Wi-Fi is free. Club Rooms on the higher levels command impressive views and come with access to the Club Lounge. Feeling celebratory? Book the Presidential Suite and luxuriate in the all-marble bathroom, which alone is larger than most guest rooms. Room service and food: Worth it? Radii is the hotel's sole restaurant, while The Lounge and Garden offers light-lunch fare and high teas. The cold breakfast buffet at Radii is a decadent—and consequently expensive—experience. Room service is 24 hours, but there's also a well-stocked minibar, and tea-and-coffee-making facilities in-room. Anything esle stand out? The health club and spa are surprisingly little used, probably because most guests are here on business. Check out the heated indoor pool and steam room, then surrender to the spa's signature coconut body treatment. Bottom line. The hotel's opulent facilities and enormous rooms are a world unto themselves, but downtown Melbourne is just across the park." - Dan F. Stapleton
