in the room, frette linens and towels are a reminder of home, and the complimentary non-alcohol beverages in the minibar is a welcome reprieve from most hotels. i chose a room on the 10th floor that had a picturesque view of the los angeles basin. the shower had 4 oz grooming products, which is great, compared to the normal 1-2 oz travel sizes.
hotel amenities include a great gym that i got a good workout in, and a beautiful heated pool and sundeck on the top of the hotel, with large cabanas for relaxing with your friends or significant other.
i couldn't have been better taken care of... everything was superb... it ranks only slightly below park hyatts in terms of my satisfaction. i highly recommend it to all.

Park Hyatt is meant to be the top brand of the Hyatt Group - less rooms, better service, individual attention.
I have stayed at Park Hyatts in Tokyo, Sydney, Melbourne, Paris, Zurich and Milan and they are all fantastic.
Just came back yesterday from a stay at the Park Hyatt in Sydney where I was for three nights - the Concierge got me a last minute reservation at Rockpool and came over to the restaurant (!!!) for me to sign the paperwork for my new car as Europcar showed up to get me my convertible while I was having dinner...

Yes. Park Hyatt is the top of the line for Hyatt.
The attention to details can be a bit overboard sometimes.

In any case, reinforcement of points that are well-made isn't such a bad thing, is it? The subsequent posts offered more evidence in support of the original good point, as well as a caveat.
