All rooms and suites look out either to the Sydney Opera House or the Circular Quay ferry wharves with the towering city skyline as a backdrop. Sydney Cove is, day and night, a constant stream of ferries and harbour cruise boats, offering guests a vibrant and ever-changing view.
Park Hyatt is ideally situated for both leisure and business travellers. Sydney's most historic area, The Rocks, begins virtually at the hotel. Circular Quay ferry and harbour cruise wharves are an easy 10 minute walk away. Visitors can explore The Rocks interesting buildings, shops, bars, restaurants and weekend markets easily on foot.
Many of Australia's leading companies and financial institutions have their headquarters just behind the Quay. The hotel is just outside the city's major traffic area with ready taxi or car access to the Harbour Bridge and North Sydney, which is home to many more major businesses.
Park Hyatt's restaurants have a classic European elegance with a touch of the Oriental, complemented by sparkling harbour views.
'Verandah at The Park' specialises in more casual dining, opening for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper. It too has an outdoor terrace. Park Hyatt's 'The Bar' is a gracious old-world bar and lounge, heavily wood panelled with an open fire in winter.
The hotel's lobby and public areas make extensive use of polished marble and granite with local sandstone. Glass walls give guests panoramic views of Sydney Cove.
