March 21, 2007:Inspired by the changing landscape of contemporary, multi-tasking business travelers, Global Hyatt Corporation unveiled Hyatt Place, an innovative hotel concept with a strong appeal to a newly identified target audience who has successfully adapted to today’s “24/7 lifestyle.”

This group of travelers shares a mindset and way of life that revolves around seamlessly merging personal and professional activities. Hyatt Place, designed to meet the needs of a new customer segment, caters to this seismic shift in lifestyle and offers travelers a balanced mix of comfortable and functional guestroom amenities such as: 42-inch high-definition televisions with next generation entertainment content; free Wi-Fi access; a comfortable, eight-foot sectional sofa-sleeper, all within an oversized, suite-like room with 20 percent more space than the average hotel room.

Hyatt Place is a new kind of hotel that is different from, yet complementary to, Hyatt’s full-service brands. The new concept was based in part on the findings of extensive consumer research commissioned by Hyatt(a) that uncovered the demands of a new breed of sophisticated travelers who intermingle their professional and personal lives. The study shows more than 90 percent of traveling respondents surveyed said they do not separate their lives into personal or professional silos because their work and leisure time overlap. However, while this audience has adapted to an integrated life by combining their personal and professional lives into one, only 10 percent of study respondents were able to find a hotel that gives them what they want.

This emerging lifestyle trend inspired Hyatt Place to create an environment to foster guests’ productivity, relaxation and fulfillment with an emphasis on stylish design, innovative services and comfortable amenities that people find in their everyday lives.

“Hyatt Place is the first hotel of its kind to cater to both the functional and emotional aspects of today’s business and leisure travelers,” said Tom O’Toole, senior vice president of strategy and systems, Global Hyatt Corporation. “For many, the separation between professional and personal life is obsolete, but unfortunately, hotels have not successfully evolved with this trend – until now. Demonstrating that we know what matters most to our guests, we’ve created a hotel brand defined by a mindset of a whole person who is combining personal fulfillment with professional growth while traveling.”

Expanding at an unprecedented pace, Hyatt Place already has hotels open in and around Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix, Cincinnati, San Antonio, Louisville and Nashville. An impressive 120 hotels will be up and running by December 2007. Those locations include: Dallas, Phoenix, Tampa, Miami, Orlando and Detroit, in addition to other key business and leisure markets throughout the country.

Hyatt Place offers distinctive architecture with stylish furnishings that create an atmosphere of casual hospitality. Every Hyatt Place hotel will feature a wide range of new services and amenities to help guests seamlessly continue their everyday lives. Similar to what travelers might experience at home, guests can take advantage of free Wi-Fi access, stretch out on the eight-foot Cozy Corner sofa-sleeper or work at an oversized desk in an ergonomic chair.

They can also catch the evening news, the big game or the latest feature movies on the 42-inch flat panel, high-definition television offering 11 channels of high-definition programming in addition to an already impressive channel selection. Hyatt Place guests will also have access to Hotel SportsNetSM service, which includes NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ and NBA LEAGUE PASSSM as well as other professional and college sports programming. Hyatt Place guests can stay connected through the innovative Hyatt Plug Panel, which allows guests to connect their own entertainment media to the high-definition TV, including laptops, MP3 players, DVD players or any other portable device. The signature Hyatt Grand Bed also ensures guests can enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep in the bedroom area.
Hyatt Place hotels also feature the Gallery, an innovative welcoming arrival area where guests are personally greeted by the Gallery Host who assists guests with everything from check-in to providing personal tours of the hotel.

In the Gallery, guests will also find a self-registration kiosk, an intimate coffee and wine café and bakery, free Wi-Fi, a TV den and an e-room with free access to a public computer and printer. Guests at Hyatt Place may purchase signature hot breakfast entrées along with Starbucks® specialty coffees or enjoy a free continental breakfast. Hyatt Place also offers a variety of freshly prepared, café quality items, including made-to-order entrées, sandwiches, soups, salads and pizza which guests can order 24 hours a day, seven days a week via a touch screen menu in the Guest Kitchen or from the Gallery Host.

To help guests stay physically and mentally productive, they can also utilize the hotel’s swimming pool or
StayFit@Hyatt gym featuring state-of-the-art Life Fitness equipment.

With the introduction of Hyatt Place, Global Hyatt Corporation is not only integrating the new brand into its rapidly growing portfolio of properties, but is also offering Hyatt Gold Passport members more opportunities than ever before to earn points and redeem rewards.
