| - What a nice surprise for me when, during a quickie seminar, my hosts decided to "park me" at the Park Hyatt. Though my last visit in Toronto for work was at the Hyatt Regency, a loooong time ago, I don't think I was overly impressed.
On the other hand, The Park Hyatt is understated and is almost set up for folks in town on a work related mission. Why would I say that? Maybe its the overall "look". Maybe its their multimedia capability. Maybe its because, for a hotel, it was very, very quiet. But for my needs last week, it business-suited me to a T.
Though subdued in decor, my room was very comfortable and very clean and I had a pretty decent city view to enjoy, as well. My concierge worked to ensure I had what I needed; even when I had forgotten what I needed. I'll also second and third the motions of previous Yelp reviewers by saying the Rooftop Bar was over the top in many ways: really a sweet spot to enjoy.
I really didn't have the opportunity to eat many meals here, but I did have breakfast there. This was what I would call a more catered meal, due to numbers alone, but the food was very, very good. Who knew you could get strawberries the size of the palm of your hand up here in the middle of November.
The other thing about the Park Hyatt was its location, it is so easy to get around from here; even just hoofing it. I don't think I would label this spot as a place to hit for "vacation", but if I am in town for work again, I would book a room here. Nice!
