Want to take advantage of Hyatt Privé benefits, including a room upgrade, complimentary breakfast, a hotel credit, and more, when booking a cash stay? Contact Ford ([email protected]) for more details. He may even be able to help if you already have a stay booked.
We had two nights in Paris, and I decided to book the Park Hyatt Paris for that time. I reviewed this hotel a bit over a year ago, so won’t be writing a full review this time. Rather I’ll focus on the rooms we received (which were different than last time), and what else stood out to me about our stay.
For a full review of the Park Hyatt Paris, check out my previous post.
Booking The Park Hyatt Paris Vendome
Paris has a lot of incredible luxury hotels, though I don’t think you can beat the value of the Park Hyatt. Are there marginally better hotels in Paris? Absolutely. But I’d say the Park Hyatt objectively ranks in the top dozen hotels in the city, and the fact that you can redeem points here makes it unique in that regard.
I booked two rooms using 30,000 World of Hyatt points per room per night, and took full advantage of my Globalist benefits:
- For my room (with Ford) I redeemed points and then used one of my Globalist Suite Upgrades to confirm an upgrade to a Park Suite
- For my dad’s room I made a Guest of Honor booking, so that he’d receive my Globalist benefits as well (room upgrade subject to availability, complimentary breakfast, 4PM late check-out, and more)
We were technically only in Paris for two nights, though I ended up booking three nights. That’s because we were landing before 6AM, so it wouldn’t be check-in time for over eight hours. I booked the night before so that we wouldn’t have to wait hours for our room to be ready.
If it were just me I wouldn’t have done this, but I wanted the trip to be as seamless as possible for my dad.
After the fact Hyatt also had a summer promotion for 10% back on points stays over this period, so at least I will be receiving some points back for this stay.
While we redeemed points here, if you’re booking a paid stay make sure you take advantage of Hyatt Prive, which offers extra perks on paid stays, like a hotel credit, a room upgrade subject to availability at the time of booking, complimentary breakfast, and more.
Earning World of Hyatt Points

Park Hyatt Paris Vendome Park Suite Review
Last time we stayed at the Park Hyatt Paris we also used a Globalist Suite Upgrade, which confirmed into a Park Suite. However, we had received a further upgrade to a Prestige Suite, which was incredible.
This time around we received the Park Suite (#216) that we confirmed, so let’s take a look at that.
The Park Suite was definitely more of a junior suite than a “real” suite, in the sense that it consisted of one main room, rather than a separate living room and bedroom. It was still a very good size, though.
The room featured a comfortable bed. I’d say it was a king size bed, but I think it was actually bigger than that. The mattress was comfortable, and my only complaint was the square pillows, which I strongly dislike (I should have probably asked if they had any other pillow options).

Opposite the bed was the sitting area, which had a small couch as well as a chair with ottoman.

Then along the side of the suite was a desk with a chair.

Behind the bed was a massive closet. It’s nice to have this space, though the size of the closet seemed unnecessary (though I’m sure The Real Housewives of Riyadh on a shopping trip may feel it’s the perfect size).

To the back left of the bedroom and next to the closet was the bathroom, which featured double sinks, a shower complex with a shower (which even had a sink in it) and a bathtub.

Toiletries were all branded 5 Rue De La Paix, which is also the hotel’s address.

Then there was a toilet off to the side.

Back towards the entrance was a half bath.

Also in this area was a Nespresso machine, a kettle, and a minibar.

We received a welcome gift consisting of nuts and a bottle of chablis, which was a nice gesture.

Park Hyatt Paris Vendome Park King Room Review
My dad was assigned a Park King, which is the standard room at this hotel. Even though he was on a Guest of Honor booking there were no upgrades available, as the hotel was booked out.
Even the Park King room was a good size for a standard room, in my opinion. It had a king size bed, a chair at the foot of the bed, and a small desk to the side of the bed.

Opposite the bed was a TV, a small area to hang clothes, and another table.

The bathroom was a good size for a standard room, and featured the same shower “complex” that we had.

Other Park Hyatt Paris Musings
Like I said, I reviewed the hotel in detail last year, so won’t be saying much about the public facilities this time, other than what stuck out to me. So unless I mention it, assume nothing has changed.
First of all, I continue to love that this hotel allows Globalist members to order room service breakfast. The restaurant breakfast is spectacular as well, but there’s something that sure is nice about having a complimentary over-the-top, 110EUR room service breakfast included.

It’s also worth noting that you can have your room service breakfast 24/7, so it doesn’t need to be during normal breakfast hours. For example, since we had paid for the night before we napped when we landed in Paris and woke up at around 1PM. At that point we ordered our breakfast.
Next, this hotel continues to have excellent service and attention to detail, in my opinion. Ford had contacted the concierge to make some dining reservations (and in the email said “my husband and I”), and when we received a confirmation of our reservation upon checking in, the envelope said “Mr. and Mr.” It’s nice when hotels pay attention to the little things.

Next, last time we stayed at the Park Hyatt the gym was tiny. The good news is that they’ve now opened a new gym, and it’s a much better size than before, so that’s great news.

Ford approves of the new Park Hyatt Paris gym (I should probably have him holding some credit card in this picture?)
Next, it seems like the hotel is currently installing new elevators. The problem is that they only have two elevators for guests to begin one, and one was inoperable for our entire stay. This was super annoying, because one elevator simply isn’t enough for the number of guests it needed to serve. This seemed to be a common point of frustration when entering the elevator (at least based on the number of people I heard cussing about this).

Last but not least, I do love the location of the Park Hyatt. It’s just next to Place Vendome, and is walking distance to so many of the cute areas of Paris.

Park Hyatt Vendome Summary
We had another exceptional stay at the Park Hyatt Paris, and as a Globalist member I find that this place just can’t be beat. Redeeming 30,000 points per night while getting room service breakfast and a suite upgrade is awesome.
Are there slightly better hotels in Paris? Yes, slightly. Is there a luxury hotel in Paris that can offer this type of value? No way, in my opinion.
While I’ll make an effort to review some of the other luxury offerings in Paris at some point, this was the ideal option, especially since I was paying for two rooms, and since I could extend my Globalist benefits to my dad as well.
