While some of the branding is obvious e. Grand Hyatt at SFO , others can be more difficult to recognize due to the fact that the hotel name may not include the brand name.
Once you know the brand , though, hopefully you know what to expect. Overall, I find that Hyatt hotel brands range from good to great quality and offer a generally consistent experience within the brand. Hyatt Place is a mid-to-upscale limited service brand that is proliferous in the United States. There are a limited number of locations abroad, but you are most likely to find them domestically. That being said, the best Hyatt Place might be located across the world from the U.
Hyatt Place hotels feature a generally consistent design with rooms blocked for people. Nearly all Hyatt Place hotels have a sofa bed, which is one of the reasons many standard rooms can accommodate six people. Complimenting the consistent room experience is a regionally-tailored free breakfast for World of Hyatt members who book directly with Hyatt.
There is typically also a small market with beverages and grab and go items, as well as a bar open in the evening serving drinks and a limited food menu. Hyatt Place is by far my favorite limited-service hotel brand. These hotels are upscale limited service properties offering spacious rooms and suites with a separated living area and full kitchen.
For those who like to do their own cooking while traveling, they are an excellent choice. Like their Hyatt Place brand, Hyatt House hotels offer free breakfast, with the added service of a cooked-to-order omelet bar. Most locations also offer a pool and outdoor common area. The hotels tend to have a large number of guestrooms with modern design and decor, welcoming lobbies, and large meeting spaces for conferences and events.

There are relatively few Hyatt Centric hotels around the world, with only 35 properties in the brand that are currently open. We had a great experience, and I enjoyed the feel of the hotel and its location near the beach. This property will actually be in award category 1 once the Hyatt changes take effect!
But this is not unexpected, as the brand is quite new. The brand seeks to blend a lifestyle hotel and limited service experiences, which is honestly a bit of a unique offering.
Like Hyatt Centric, they will be located in urban centers and incorporate local culture into their food and design. If Hyatt does achieve an excellent blend of compelling local experience through a limited service stay, they may have an interesting niche market. However, Hyatt has yet to open a Caption property.
