Hyatt Hotels will rebrand its Hyatt Summerfield Suites and recently acquired Hotel Sierra locations as Hyatt House. “We looked very closely at the way extended-stay guests live their lives today and built a strong, innovative concept based on those needs,” says Mark S. Hoplamazian, Hyatt’s president and CEO. “We’ve created what we believe will be a very successful concept-one that is social and sophisticated, yet casual and comfortable, and really allows guests to feel like residents of a connected neighborhood and community.”
Working in collaboration with design firm Stonehill & Taylor, every Hyatt House will offer signature elements, including:
Engaging Social Spaces: Each Hyatt House will feature a Great Lounge, a multi-purpose area with distinct spaces featuring new signature chairs with built-in digital plugs and gadget resting spots, an oversized social sectional, and a glass-enclosed game room equipped with a state-of-the-art home entertainment system, a pool table, and more. Inspired by the way the kitchen is the heart of any home and revolves around cooking, conversation, and entertainment, the Great Lounge will feature the H Bar, an integrated island that transforms from a breakfast bar in the morning to a cocktail bar in the evening with small plates, providing a place to gather. Each Hyatt House will provide an extension of its social spaces with a unique backyard concept, complete with a built-in kitchen and conversation area centered around a signature fire pit.
Apartment-Style Suite Design: Hyatt House will feature studio, one,- and two-bedroom kitchen suites that are reminiscent of a well-appointed, urban residence designed with extended-stay travelers’ needs in mind. Residence-like touches include peek-a-boo cabinets in the kitchen for quick location of items and an entryway hall tree, a hotel’s version of a mudroom where guests can hang keys, coats, umbrellas, and other items. Each suite will also feature a multi-tasking island where guests can prepare a meal, watch TV, or work on their laptop.
Customized F&B: In addition to a large spread of savory, sweet, and healthy items, Hyatt House guests will enjoy an Eggs Your Way complimentary breakfast where they will be able to order eggs and toppings any way they would like from the chef preparing them fresh each morning. There will also be a daily Open House with high quality food and drinks at happy hour prices offered seven days a week from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. in sync with the schedules of today’s travelers.
The redesigned guest market will offer traditional and gourmet groceries and other items for purchase. Personal shopping services will also be available.
