The Rooms

While we stayed here a total of 5 nights, we changed rooms after the first night due to a mechanical issue with the air conditioner. The first night was in the Suite #601/#605 and the remaining 4 nights we stayed in Suite #216.

Park King Deluxe Room #605/#601: When they told us we were on the top floor of this hotel we were excited as usually the top floors offer the best rooms & views. But after settling in I must admit we were more than a little disappointed as it was fairly noisy when it rained. This was a odd because the building itself is quite substantial and in flawless condition, but hearing each and every rain drop meant there wasn’t much in between our ceiling and the roof.

We were also disappointed that the room we were given was not a suite as we reserved, but rather a deluxe room attached to a small standard room. This did not flow well making nearly half the room unusable. Someone at the hotel made the judgement call that us not getting the type of room we reserved was okay. We are Hyatt Diamond members and used our 1 week suite upgrade here and confirmed twice via phone our suite was reserved for us. Yet the room we were given was not a suite. It’s very difficult to start a vacation that way and a little sneaky if you ask me, but mysteriously the coming events would solve that.

But all that aside the room was beautifully decorated and clean with the contemporary design familiar to the Park Hyatt brand. On the very first night at around 3am we were abruptly awakened by a loud crash in our room, the air conditioner vent fell from the ceiling onto the floor. The staff graciously asked to move us into another room, but we were half asleep. Instead we asked them to fix it and clean up the mess quickly, so we could go back to bed. They did so and the next day arranged a new room for us, Suite #216.

Park Suite #216: What the other room lacked this one fully compensated for. This was the Park Suite we were always supposed to have, it’s unfortunate an issue with the previous room at 3am had to remind them of this. I wasn’t aware what we had wasn’t a suite until we moved into #216. The suite featured a spacious living area and high ceilings decorated with elegant yet contemporary gold & wood accents. There was more than enough room to be comfortable with a good sized desk, decent sized TV, sitting area and king sized bed in the living area with a large balcony looking down to one of the side streets off of Vendome. There was a decorative fireplace in the room and the walk in closet was one of the largest I’ve seen in a hotel suite with a his & her side and enough space to lay 4 or more full sized suitcases flat. The room featured double sinks and a large shower with a large soaking tub and in the shower a sink and mirror. The room had two toilets, one in the bathroom itself and one in the powder room as you enter. This room was as expected of the one of the top 5 luxury hotels in Paris simply beautiful and was the nicest of any suite at the Park Hyatts we have been to.
