In the resplendent city of Sydney, teetering on the brink of winter’s embrace, a spectacle of light and colour prepares to pierce the encroaching gloom.
This is Vivid Sydney, an annual extravaganza that transforms the city into a nocturnal canvas of luminescent wonder.
Amidst this kaleidoscopic chaos, the Park Hyatt Sydney, a bastion of luxury perched on the water’s edge, cunningly unveils its Vivid at the Park Stay and Dine Package.
It’s a scheme so indulgent, so dripping with opulence, that even the most jaded of travellers might blink twice in astonishment.
From 24 May to 15 June 2024, guests of this illustrious establishment are invited to partake in an experience that promises not just a bird’s eye view of the Vivid spectacle from the sanctity of their private balconies but a foray into gastronomic excellence that could very well redefine their understanding of luxury.

The Stay Package
For the uninitiated, the Park Hyatt’s package includes a two-night sojourn in rooms so plush, they could soften the heart of a tax auditor.
Breakfast in The Dining Room is included, promising a culinary kick-start to the day that could wake the dead. Valet parking is thrown into the mix, because, in Sydney, finding a parking spot is akin to discovering a unicorn at a petting zoo.
A staggering AUD350 dining credit per stay awaits, beckoning guests to dive headfirst into a sea of culinary delights offered by the hotel’s dining outlets. From the contemporary Australian fare in The Dining Room to the concoctions of The Bar that might make a teetotaller reconsider their life choices, it’s a veritable feast for the senses.
The Dining Room by James Viles
The pièce de résistance of this edible escapade is the dining experience curated by James Viles and his culinary compatriot, Brian O’Flaherty.
Their menu, inspired by the riotous display of Vivid, is an homage to creativity, sustainability, and the sheer joy of eating.
With dishes that paint a spectrum of flavours as vibrant as the lights of Vivid itself, diners are treated to a symphony of tastes that could very well leave them speechless.
Enter the realm of desserts, where the real mischief unfolds. The Crimson Spin, a dessert inspired by da Vinci and Hirst, is a confluence of art, science, and dessert-making that could potentially raise the bar for culinary innovation. It’s a dish that not only tickles the palate but winks at the intellect, a rare feat in the realm of fine dining.
And then, there’s the Benevolent Bliss, a cocktail so meticulously crafted, it’s less a drink and more a liquid sonnet. Composed of Archie Rose vodka, a whisper of Mezcal Vida, house-made lavender cordial, and tonic, garnished with an edible flower and a luminous flicker, it’s the kind of concoction that might inspire poets, or at the very least, make social media influencers swoon.
In the end, the Vivid at the Park package is not just an offering; it’s a challenge – a gauntlet thrown by the Park Hyatt Sydney to experience the city’s light festival with a level of panache and luxury that might very well spoil you for anything less ever again.
