During our Europe Christmas market trip, we made a two-night stop in Zurich — and I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay than the Park Hyatt Zurich. This hotel defines quiet luxury with its sleek design, flawless service, and calm atmosphere that perfectly matches Zurich’s refined charm.

💳 Booking with Points
I booked a Park Junior Suite for 132,000 World of Hyatt points total (66,000 points per night) — an incredible redemption considering the cash rate for this suite was around $4,900 for two nights. I transferred points from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Hyatt, and it was one of the best points redemptions I’ve ever made.

When we arrived, our room wasn’t ready at check-in — but the hotel more than made up for it by upgrading us to the Ambassador Suite, a stunning 1,162-square-foot suite that would have cost over $10,000 for the two nights. Moments like this are why I love using points — it’s proof that luxury travel doesn’t always require luxury prices.
🏨 The Suite
The Ambassador Suite was everything you’d expect from a five-star European hotel and more. Elegant design, rich materials, and warm lighting gave it an inviting yet sophisticated feel. The suite featured a large living and dining area, separate bedroom, and a luxurious marble bathroom equipped with Le Labo amenities, heated tile floors, towel warmers, and even a heated shower mirror — small touches that made a big difference during a chilly Zurich winter.
As a suite guest, room service breakfast was complimentary, which made mornings extra relaxing.
The hotel also delivered a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, chocolates, and desserts along with a personalized welcome card — a thoughtful touch that made us feel genuinely valued.
🍽️ Dining & Drinks
We enjoyed breakfast via room service, which arrived perfectly presented and delicious. My wife and I stopped by the ONYX Bar and loved the atmosphere and she enjoyed some expertly made cocktails. The most memorable dining experience, though, was our fondue dinner inside the Parkhuus Igloo — a private, candlelit setup that cost about $150 for two. It was cozy, romantic, and a true winter-in-Switzerland moment.
💆♀️ Amenities & Service
The fitness center was open 24/7 and well equipped, perfect for keeping a routine while traveling. Service throughout our stay was exceptional — polished, professional, and proactive. The check-in delay was quickly forgotten after the incredible upgrade, and every interaction after that reflected genuine Swiss hospitality.
📍 Location
The location was ideal — just a short walk from Lake Zurich, the Old Town, and Bahnhofstrasse. Whether we wanted to explore the Christmas markets or enjoy a peaceful stroll by the lake, everything was within easy reach.
✨ Final Thoughts
Our stay at the Park Hyatt Zurich was unforgettable. From the unexpected upgrade to the Ambassador Suite to the impeccable service and luxurious touches like Le Labo bath amenities and heated bathroom floors, everything was pure perfection.
It’s the kind of property that defines understated European luxury — elegant, calm, and refined. For anyone visiting Zurich looking for a romantic getaway or luxury retreat, I can’t recommend it enough.
⭐ My Rating: 10/10 – Perfect blend of Swiss precision, modern luxury, and warm hospitality.
