Hyatt Hotels Corporation has unveiled the Hyatt Place Bayamon in Puerto Rico. The hotel’s opening marks the first Hyatt Place hotel to enter the Caribbean market and the return of Hyatt-branded hotels to Puerto Rico after a seven-year absence.
“We look forward to showing travelers visiting Puerto Rico what the award-winning Hyatt Place brand is all about,” says Chris Walker, vice president of brands, Hyatt Place. “Opening the first Hyatt Place in Puerto Rico is a significant step as we continue to serve more guests worldwide and we prepare to welcome additional Hyatt Place hotels throughout the Caribbean, Mexico, and Latin America over the next few years.”
With 156 guestrooms, the Hyatt Place Bayamon is an upscale, select-service hotel designed for multi-tasking travelers. The hotel is located in Puerto Rico’s second largest city, near San Juan, and boasts more than 1,900 square feet of meeting and function space and a coffee-to-cocktails bar.
A second Hyatt Place hotel in Manati, Puerto Rico is scheduled to open in 2014. Hyatt’s portfolio in the Caribbean is represented with Hyatt Regency-branded hotels and resorts in Trinidad and Aruba. Other previously announced hotels slated to open in the next three years include Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and Park Hyatt St. Kitts on the island of St. Kitts and Nevis.
