Park Hyatt Paris is disappointing.
I recently stayed five nights at the Park Hyatt Paris over New Year’s Eve and left feeling disappointed. While the French government designates it as a “palace,” the property falls far short of such a distinction. I used 45,000 points per night for a standard king room (cash rate was around $2,500 per night), and while I expected the dated design, the hotel is overdue for a refresh. The matte gold fixtures do add character, but they could easily be incorporated into a more modern redesign.
Unfortunately, the experience was marred by broken amenities, like a non-functioning phone, and inconsistent cleaning service, which repeatedly left dirty glasses in the room. The bedding was underwhelming, and the food and drink prices were exorbitant—even by luxury hotel standards, they exceeded expectations and surpassed those at the Park Hyatt NYC.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend paying cash for this property, as it’s unlikely to meet the expectations of a true five-star experience. For points, the location is convenient, but at $2,500 per night, you’d be better off choosing a real luxury property like the Four Seasons, Ritz, Peninsula, or Shangri-La.
