Warm welcome from Front Office Manager Oscar set the tone for a great stay. Used our suite award for a spacious, clean, and very comfortable family suite — the powerful shower was a highlight. Staff were professional and attentive throughout. Enjoyed a delicious Globalist breakfast in the club lounge with stunning views. Easy taxi ride to Haeundae Beach, BIFF, and the international market. This is our go-to hotel in Busan — we’ll definitely be back!

We had an ocean view room - amazing views. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and lovely concierges. Easy to get around just a short walk to beaches and other attractions/shopping streets and evening food market. I very much recommend booking to stay here.

Beautiful hotel with breathtaking views. Located in the newer part of the city. Staff was incredibly courteous, respectful, and helpful. The Food, Room, and facility I clding the sauna/spa and pool was immmaculate … 5 stars. Experience was as expected from a park Hyatt property. Will be back.

We booked a high room a view, and that is exactly what we got. We came from the train station and it was a bit of a round about walk to find the entrance. But once we got our bearings we were fine. The staff were very friendly and service to the room was excellent. The room was spacious and clean with a great view. Only issue we had was the lighting - think that could do with an upgrade - really hard to sort and not great in the bathroom. Seriously that issue is not just for the Hyatt - most hotels do not provide good lighting in the bathrooms.|Also their cakes in the cake shop - expensive but amazingly good!

Room type: high floor, ocean view Package: Proposal package (2x buffet) + add ons Price: 983,000 Won Room cleanliness -1/5 Buffet experience - 3/5 Flower deco from proposal package - 5/5 View - 5/5 Overall, flowers and views were the only exception. I’ve always chosen Park Hyatt when visiting Busan from United States, so I trusted them with one of the most important moments of my life: my proposal. I booked their proposal package expecting something elegant and memorable. Instead, it turned into a huge disappointment. I arrived at the hotel around 3:30 p.m. for a 4 p.m. proposal. When I walked into the room to check the setup, I was immediately disappointed. There were water stains on the wall, dirt marks on the floor, and the overall condition of the room felt neglected and careless. This is not what anyone should expect from a luxury hotel, especially not for something as meaningful as a proposal. To make things worse, they kept going back and forth about whether the buffet was included. First it was, then it wasn’t, then it was again. I must have been told five different things. Even at the restaurant, staff pulled me aside to say it wasn’t included for two people, even though the proposal package clearly states that it is. That was unbelievably frustrating. On top of everything else, I had to argue about what was already promised in the package. Really? By the time I saw the room, there was no time to request a different one. The decorations were already in place and my photographer was on the way. We had to avoid certain angles just to keep the damage out of frame. Whether staff noticed or not, that room never should have been used for a proposal. I left feeling embarrassed and angry. I trusted Park Hyatt with one of the most meaningful days of my life, and they treated it like it didn’t matter. IFor future trips to Busan, I’ll be booking elsewhere. Avani is one of the hotels I’ll be considering. This experience is my own, perhaps it’s an outlier.
