My family and I had high expectations for this hotel after a fantastic week-long stay at the Grand Hyatt Beijing, where the staff were warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, Park Hyatt Guangzhou ended up being the biggest disappointment I've had in over 25 years of staying at various Hyatt properties around the world.||||To start with the positives: the hotel is architecturally stunning. The rooms are modern and clean, and the view—especially of the Canton Tower at night from the bar—is absolutely breathtaking.||||However, the service did not match the high standards we’ve come to expect from the Hyatt brand. Throughout our four-day stay, very few staff acknowledged us in public areas. Many avoided eye contact entirely, which was both surprising and disappointing given the reputation and level of this property.||||The first major issue occurred when I approached the front desk to ask about the Wi-Fi. The staff member assisting me was typing continuously during the entire exchange and didn’t even look up. I found this to be quite rude. To her credit, she did eventually stop, apologized, and provided her card for future assistance — which I appreciated at the time.||||Later that day, I noticed the hair conditioner in our room hadn’t been refilled and was nearly empty. Mildly annoyed, I emailed the staff member from earlier, asking housekeeping to ensure it was replenished the next day. She responded promptly and kindly, assuring me it would be taken care of.||||However, the next morning—right in the middle of washing my daughter’s hair—I discovered the conditioner still hadn’t been replaced. Anyone with a child who has easily tangled hair will understand how frustrating this can be, especially when you’ve already flagged it and received a reply. This shouldn't happen at any Hyatt property, much less a Park Hyatt. We contacted the front desk, and while they were apologetic, it was too late—we had to rush out to our scheduled activities without resolving the issue.||||The rest of our stay was uneventful, but the overall experience had already been soured by then.||||In summary: while the property itself is beautiful, with updated rooms and incredible views, it doesn't make up for the lack of attentive service and an indifferent staff. If you’re looking for a relaxing and enjoyable family vacation in Guangzhou, I would recommend considering other luxury hotels in the area. There’s no shortage of excellent options with far better service.
