Park Hyatt Named ``Best International Hotel Chain''

Business and luxury leisure travelers give Park Hyatt top honor in the annual Global Traveler Magazine's GT Tested Awards, naming the worldwide luxury brand "Best International Hotel Chain."

More than 3200 Global Traveler readers participated in the open-ended nomination survey, citing Park Hyatt hotels for being "upscale but not snooty" and "the brand that provides a secluded haven for travelers abroad."

Park Hyatt also earned kudos for its United States product, placing second in the "Best Domestic Hotel Chain" category, ahead of Four Seasons, Marriott and Hilton.

The January issue of Global Traveler features Park Hyatt's "Best International Hotel" recognition along with more than 30 other travel related awards. Awards will be formally presented on January 24, 2005 at the Global Traveler Tested Awards in New York City.
