Porsche mishap at top Sydney hotel

The hotel said later it was conducting a “full assessment” with authorities and the vehicles’ owners.

Two cars ended on top of each other outside Sydney’s Hyatt Regency Hotel – the result of a hotel valet’s mishap with a Porsche Carrera convertible.

Fortunately the valet wasn’t hurt but had to be cut from the powerful car which was seen by a large crowd which had gathered at the busy 892 roomed Hyatt Regency Hotel in Sydney, located next to Darling Harbour. The Porsche worth US $180,000  became wedged and stuck. 

The hotel said later it was conducting a “full assessment” with authorities and the vehicles’ owners.

Hyatt Regency Sydney places the utmost importance on the safety of our staff and guests and a full investigation is being conducted by hotel management over the next few days,” a statement said.
