Zurich seemed like a great city in which to redeem the two free nights in a suite I had from the Chase Hyatt Visa card sign-up bonus. While everyone gets two free nights as a sign-up bonus for the card, if you’re a Diamond member they’re in a suite, so I was determined to redeem…

Just in time for my upcoming trip. Will be staying there in a couple of months.
"I’m pretty sure they only higher supermodels as waitstaff." Is she that "high" 🙂
Look forward to staying here in April for a couple of nights. Looking forward to the next part of the trip report too.
Zurich is OK, definitely a business city and as you said, very expensive.
These type of properties cater to a certain business clientele and personally I feel out of place, since I dress like I am on vacation, though not shabby.
Nothing is usually said, but those snobby eyes follow you every where...
One of my favorite cities in the world. We stayed at the Sheraton down the street, which is very basic, but the rooms were renovated, staff super friendly, and excellent restaurant.
@ Moody -- We took a flight from Nice to Zurich on Swiss. Just a quick, ordinary 50 minute flight.
How do you get the suite from the hyatt card free night? Im an diamond member, but I did not get a suite from using the free night certs at Park Hyatt Tokyo and Grand Hyatt
After looking at that picture of the French toast, yes, Victoria's Secrets blog for sure. That being the case, though, why no photos of the "supermodel" waitresses?
@ Ken -- Were you a Diamond when you applied for the card? If so, the nights should automatically be in a suite.
There's a ton to do in Zurich ... Many art museums there and nearby (Basel, Winterthur)
Stayed there right before New Year's. Liked the hotel, loved the city. Surprisingly good weather. Really only needed a jacket at night. Walked all over the town and around the lake and drove up in the mountains to ski and sightsee. Definitely would go back again.
How does staying in Zurich make one racist?
Lucky, even though your flight was short, it would have been nice to see the Trip Report, if only to see the airport at Nice and what facilitates it offers, and how you'd compare it to other European airports.
Having been to Switzerland a couple times, the only place more expensive than Zurich IME was Lugano. But it was even prettier. Such is life...
We stayed there in May and had a similar experience. I read that the hotel used to be a parking garage, hence the style of the exterior.
Lucky, I was wondering if you would give me some hotel advice or at least your opinion. We (me, spouse and 2 kids) will be returning from Rome to NYC on Dec 31 on AA. Our return flight stops in ZRH at 3:45pm niki flight. WE depart ZRH next dat 1/1 at 10am.
Right now I have award rooms booked at Hilton Airport (HH Diamond) I could switch this to Park Hyatt Zurich (Diamond) I am indifferent to the points cost/value My goal initially was just to find a place to sleep overnight. But with htis being our first "visit" to switerland, is there enough time to gt through customs and take a cab to make the trip to PHZ worth it? Or should we just crash at the Hilton?

@ DATCH -- That's a toughie. Realistically you won't make it to the hotel before 5PM and you'd have to leave by 7:30AM the following day. Taxis in Zurich are also extremely expensive. So if the cost of the transportation isn't an issue I'd probably go into the city for New Years and have a nice dinner. It's pretty easy to walk around the "central" part of Zurich, and it would certainly be more interesting than the Hilton Zurich Airport.
Go for it if you don't mind the transportation costs, but otherwise the Hilton is a good option given your fairly short layover.
This is a Hyatt-owned hotel. Interesting how you were spot on with the "cookie cutter" comment.
