3. Showcasing Top-tier Reviews from Korean Guests
Being situated in South Korea, it’s no surprise that ‘Park Hyatt Busan‘ plays host to a significant number of Korean guests. In my quest for understanding guest experiences, I’ve come across a plethora of reviews penned by Koreans. Allow me to share some of these standout reviews with you.
3.1. Best Review: “Recommended 5-Star Hotel Staycation in Haeundae, Busan: A Review of Park Hyatt Busan”
Summary of the Blog Post
This weekend I enjoyed a staycation at the Park Hyatt Busan in Haeundae, a five-star hotel in Busan. Both the interior facilities and services were top-notch and I was able to stay at a satisfying price by applying a discount code from Hotels.com.
Check-in took place at the lobby on the 30th floor and I was guided all the way to my room.
I chose an Ocean View King Bed Room which was spacious with a size of 41m2. The entire wall being made of glass windows made it feel even more expansive and allowed me to enjoy views of Haeundae’s beautiful sea and Gwangan Bridge around the clock.
The bathroom and toilet were clearly separated and there was even a TV installed in the bathtub, allowing me to enjoy watching dramas while bathing.
In particular, the night view of Gwangan Bridge was spectacular. Rather than roaming around the city, it was enough healing just to quietly look out from the window.
In conclusion, I believe my staycation at Park Hyatt Busan was truly a valuable time.

5. Diving into Price Analysis
Finally, let’s delve into arguably one of the most critical categories in hotel reviews – pricing.
To pinpoint where you can get your money’s worth, I’ll be comparing rates from renowned hotel comparison platforms like ‘HotelsCombined,’ ‘SkyScanner,’ and ‘Trivago.’
Our criteria for this low-price hunt? A one-night stay from Wednesday to Thursday for two guests in a single room—breakfast excluded (as it often significantly bumps up costs).
5.1. Price Comparison via ‘HotelsCombined’
After searching through ‘HotelsCombined’, the best deal I found was $208 when booking through ‘Booking.com’, ‘Expedia’, ‘Hotels.com’, etc.
5.2. Price Comparison via ‘Sky Scanner’
The lowest price on ‘Sky Scanner’ is $214 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Trip.com’.
5.3. Price Comparison via ‘Trivago’
The lowest price on ‘Trivago’ is $183 when booked through ‘Super.com’.
5.4. Official Website of ‘Park Hyatt Busan‘
I also explored prices directly from the ‘Park Hyatt Busan‘ official website. The lowest price confirmed on the official website was confirmed to be $208.
Our analysis reveals that out of all four sites considered, the ‘Trivago’ offers the best deal at USD 183 for a stay at the ‘Park Hyatt Busan‘ when booking through ‘Super.com’. You might want to keep this information handy while booking.
★ Do bear in mind, these rock-bottom prices are subject to change based on your stay dates and when you’re conducting your search.
★ Also crucial to remember – today’s best deal doesn’t necessarily promise future savings.
★ Consider this ‘Lowest Price Analysis’ as a guiding light rather than an absolute rule.
★ For savvy hotel booking, I’d recommend revisiting these comparison sites during your accommodation planning phase – you never know when you might stumble upon an even better deal!”
And with that, we wrap up our review of the‘Park Hyatt Busan‘, seen through a distinctly Korean lens.
