Since opening in 1990, the Park Hyatt has played host to a steady stream of celebrities, heads of state and international jetsetters with money to burn. The carpets are so plush you’ll want to roll around on them like a dog – and the rooms are quiet, to the point they feel hermetically sealed. The biggest selling point here (beyond the deluxe rooms and incredible view of the Sydney Opera House) is the heated rooftop pool.
Time Out tip: The Park Hyatt’s food offerings are led by culinary director James Viles. Make sure you book in for a dining experience with one-hatted food and five-star views, at the Dining Room by James Viles.
