The question at Park Hyatt is which terminal your ship uses. By our road routing the Overseas Passenger Terminal is 0.1 road miles (0.2 km) from its Hickson Road door, about 1 minute, and White Bay is 3.7.
Hyatt's page lists 155 rooms and suites, a swimming pool, a fitness centre and a spa. It says private luxury vehicle transfers can be arranged through the hotel at an extra cost, with no price and no word on whether they go to a terminal. It puts the airport about 11.5 km and 20 minutes away; our routing gives 14.7 km.
Breakfast is served in The Dining Room, but Hyatt says only that it's available when included in the rate. Parking is valet, with no price printed. Guests arriving early can leave luggage with the team — and pets aren't permitted.
I'd book it if the short hop to the Overseas Passenger Terminal is what you're paying for, and I'd ask about the transfer price and which rates include breakfast first.
Book it if
- You want to cover the last stretch to the Overseas Passenger Terminal in about a minute
- A pool and a spa are part of how you want the night to go
- You'll arrive early and leave bags with the team
Look elsewhere if
- Your ship is at White Bay, 3.7 road miles away, not at the quay.
- You want the transfer priced before you book.
- You're travelling with a pet.
What Hyatt's pages cover, and the three prices they skip
Green is what the pages state, gold costs extra or has a catch, grey is what the pages leave blank. The private transfer is the gold item here.
A night above the quay, hour by hour
The steps below follow Hyatt's own pages and our routing.
The pool, gym and spa are there if you arrive with time to spare; the only restaurant the page names is The Dining Room.
Ask the hotel what the private transfer costs, or plan the short walk if your ship is at the quay.
Only on rates that include it, and Hyatt doesn't say which rates those are.

Hickson Road to the Overseas Passenger Terminal: 0.1 road miles
From Hickson Road the Overseas Passenger Terminal is the nearest of any hotel we checked, on our routing — a short stroll, not a cab ride.
Hyatt's help with the airport run is the private transfer, charged extra; it prints no price.
The hotel
No hotel ride to a terminal is listed. The private transfer costs extra, so ask whether one serves your terminal.
About 0.1 road mi to OPT on our routing.
From SYD without a hotel shuttle
Our routing puts Sydney Airport 9.2 road miles (14.7 km) away, roughly 18 minutes; the airport page has the train, the taxi and the fixed fare.
If you drive: valet only, and the price isn't stated.
Hyatt's one car is the private transfer at extra cost — whether it runs to a terminal is a question for the hotel.

Shuttle not statedNo ship shuttle is listed. At 0.1 road miles a walk may be easier than a car, so ask about the transfer only if you'd rather ride.

Parking for the cruise
No parking at the terminal on cruise daysDriving in? On the Port Authority's account, no parking is on offer at the Overseas Passenger Terminal for ships' days, and White Bay's one car park is a drop-off lot with a 15-minute limit. Wilson Parking's cruise rates near both run A$20 to A$51 (about US$14–35) a day; its page doesn't name the currency, so we read them as Australian dollars.
