Sydney: Park Hyatt Sydney Will Reopen March 1 at $855 a Night

We knew the big, big revamp of the Park Hyatt Sydney was going to be a big deal. But deal is not a word you're going to hear in any other capacity when it comes to this harbour-front icon.

Apparently the hotel is on track to re-open in mid-February but is taking reservations from March 1 onwards. And the starting rate for a night on March 1st? $AUD 855 a night.

Before you think, but hey, that's Aussie dollars. It's got to be cheaper when you convert it, right? --check out how strong that Aussie dollar is. The rate converts to $893 US dollars. Ouch.

If you don't have a beach view, then you're probably looking out over the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club or the hotel's own gardens but no matter the view, each room has its own balcony or private terrace.Elsewhere on the property is a the two-level Atarmia Spa, the

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/PHChifrontdoor.jpg" class="top"> We'll admit it; we have a thing for photographing hotels at night. There's something about the glowing windows, the architecture lit by spotlights and the knowledge that the interior is still a flurry of activity, even when everyone else has gone to bed. Other hotels we've night-stalked are the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/1/17/22429/4897/hotels/London_s_Great_Hotels_After_Dark">Langham London</a> and the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/2/18/10263/9688/hotels/London_s_Mandarin_Oriental_Is_an_Oasis_of_Calm_on_a_Busy_Street">Mandarin Oriental London</a>, for example.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/YES_huddle_in_KL.jpg" class="top"> Are wireless hot spots the next hot hotel amenity? Judging by these two recent reports from luxury hotels in Asia, they just might be! First up, a guest sent in this snapshot, above, and description, below, of the YES personal 4G station called the <a href="http://www.yes.my/v2/say-yes/huddle-hotspot.do">Huddle</a> found at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Jw+Marriott+In+Kuala+Lumpur/ian/109536">JW Marriott in Kuala Lumpur</a>. He writes: <blockquote> YES has a table in the lobby, adjacent to the Front Desk, where guests can borrow (deposit, but no rental charge) a 4G station, called a Huddle. Then, for RM50 per day (USD15/day) you get all the wifi data you can eat. That includes downloading their app and turning your iPod Touch or iPhone, or iPad, into a VOIP

Beijing: Have You Ever Done This? Tree Pose By the Pool at The Park Hyatt Beijing

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/treepose_parkhyattbeijing.jpg" class="top"> We all know that hotels aren't as forthcoming as they should be with photos of their rooms and public spaces on their websites but we still have a chuckle over the other kind of photos hotels put on their website--the totally staged shots of people doing totally random things. Like this "hotel guest" who is doing a little yoga all alone at the indoor rooftop pool at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Park+Hyatt+Beijing/local/1273">Park Hyatt Beijing</a>. Granted, the Park Hyatt Beijing is a stunning property with killer views of the city from nearly every futuristic nook and cranny in the place and while the pool (one of two lap pools in the hotel) may not be awash in heavenly light at
