Hyatt Place™ Offers Disrupted Travelers 24/7 Solutions to Late Arrivals

03-06-2008

 

FLIGHT DELAYS, MISSED MEALS LEAVE MORE TRAVELERS HUNGRY AND FRUSTRATED

 

 

CHICAGO – March 4, 2008 – Travelers are facing mounting delays at the airport, with more than 27 percent of flights cancelled or delayed in January 2008[1] alone. Because travelers’ schedules are often disrupted, Hyatt Place hotels offer guests around-the-clock options for freshly prepared meals, ensuring travelers get the sustenance they need when they need it. 

Understanding that travelers today lead a “24/7 lifestyle,” Hyatt Place – an innovative new hotel concept – offers guests convenient, fresh food and beverage options to satisfy their appetites.  Anytime day or night, Hyatt Place guests can:

·         Order a freshly prepared entrée including made-to-order sandwiches, soups, salads and pizza via a touch-screen menu in the Guest Kitchen or from a Gallery Host

·         Purchase freshly made salads, sandwiches and gourmet pastries from the Grab’ n Go case

 

Guests also enjoy a daily complimentary continental breakfast featuring fresh fruit, cereals, bagels, juices and Starbucks® coffee.

“Sticking to a regular schedule for meals on the road is difficult, but when airport delays cut into that routine it can leave travelers hungry and unmotivated,” said Alison Kal, vice president, marketing, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts.  “Hyatt Place eases travel woes with its welcoming Hosts and alleviates hunger pains with delicious food options available 24-hours a day, seven days a week.”

At Hyatt Place, guests will enjoy 24/7 services that allow them to be as productive as necessary and customize their stay to adapt to evolving needs.

        Guestrooms: For work, guests can take advantage of the complimentary Wi-Fi, oversize desk and ergonomic chair in each room.

Each room’s innovative Hyatt Plug Panel™ also allows guests to connect their own entertainment media to the television, including laptops, MP3 players, DVD players or any other portable device. At bedtime, the signature Hyatt Grand Bed™ ensures guests will enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.

        Gallery: An innovative welcoming arrival area where guests are greeted by the Gallery Host who assists guests with everything from check-in to providing tours of the hotel, the Gallery offers two self-registration kiosks, an intimate coffee and wine café and bakery, free Wi-Fi, a TV den and an “e-room” with free access to public computers and a printer with secure print-ahead technology.
