HYATT HOUSE UNITED STATES


Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the evolution of its extended-stay brand into a distinctive new hotel concept – Hy- att House – starting with the rebranding of its entire portfolio of 38 Hyatt Sum- merfield Suites hotels, as well as 16 Hotel Sierra hotels that Hyatt recently acquired from LodgeWorks, L.P.


“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, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hyatt Hotels Corporation. “We’ve created a concept that is social and sophisticated, yet casual and

Each suite will also feature a multi-tasking island where guests can prepare a meal, watch TV, or work.
