Hyatt Grows Hyatt Place Brand

Hyatt will break ground on five new Hyatt Place properties this month, as Hyatt looks to grow and introduce its newest upscale, select-service brand to the market. The hotels are scheduled to break ground in Seattle, South Bend, IN, Orlando, Jackson, MS and Reno, NV. "These groundbreakings help set the stage for the brand growth we'll see in the first quarter," said Jim Abrahamson, senior vice president, acquisitions and development for Hyatt.
