Debsta Posted July 2, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm sure they will be open by February 2012 for your stay. They will be busting a gut to have it open for November onwards to recoup the money they're spending on renovations. As to when you can book you will just have to be diligent and keep checking their website and phoning them :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougo in oz Posted July 3, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I agree with Debsta - just keep checking their website. I drove past the Park Hyatt a couple of weeks ago on the way to Wharf 5 and you can't see the building as it seems to be completely covered by scaffolding and hessian....so quite a big renovation by the looks of it. There are a lot of other hotels in The Rocks / Circular Quay area that are 5 star such as the Shangri-La and The Quay Grand Suites. The Shangri-La is in The Rocks area about a 10 min walk from Circular Quay. The Quay Grand Suites is right at Circular Quay and some rooms would have views of Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge which would no doubt cost more and would have to be specified at the time you booked.

Flipper133 Posted July 3, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I stayed at the Hyatt Collins St in Melbourne a couple of years ago. They had been doing renovations for some time...but no problems they were open for business...after all it was the beginning of the Spring Racing Season ! Open for business however still meant the main restaurant was unavailable as was a number of other facilities. There was still ongoing work happening.. and work began at 7.30 and continued throughout the day for another 12 hours. The noise was horrific:mad: So beware...even if the Park Hyatt does open its doors in Nov don't expect everything to be completed....even by February If it was my call I would stay at the Shangri La.. a top notch establishment. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandandsea lovers Posted July 3, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I also believe the Shangri-La is the place to stay. Book the Grand Harbourview room and you will have the best views. The Sydney harbour view to the left and the opera house view to the right, looking out your window. You can get this for under $300 per night.

Bob&Janet Posted July 3, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 3, 2011 From the Park Hyatt's website ... Re-opening End of 2011 The iconic Park Hyatt Sydney is undertaking a dramatic transformation, the largest renovation in its 21 year history. The renovation programme will take place over a period of seven months, and involves closure of the hotel to allow for the extensive work to be completed. Park Hyatt Sydney is due to re-open its doors at the end of 2011. The revitalisation of the hotel will include the addition of three luxury rooftop suites and significant changes to all areas of the hotel - setting a new benchmark in contemporary luxury. The multi-million dollar project will involve a complete redesign of the hotel’s guest rooms, including architectural fixtures and finishes, custom designed contemporary lighting, new furniture and unique artwork by renowned Australian artists. The hotel’s new interiors will offer a natural feel with rich layers of chocolate, cream and beige hues. Designed to celebrate the indoor-outdoor experience, all guest rooms will feature floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto spacious private balconies that honour Park Hyatt Sydney’s exclusive harbourfront location. The hotel’s restaurants and bars, private dining rooms, day spa and recreational facilities will also be enhanced to reinforce Park Hyatt Sydney’s position as one of Australia’s premier hotels. The hotel is due to re-open at the end of 2011, and will be accepting reservations for this period and beyond in the second half of 2011. Just keep checking the Hyatt reservation site for the opening of bookings ... the wait will be worth it. Cheers Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
