Hyatt Place Opens Its First Hotel in LA
MARCH 13, 2008. Hyatt Place Baton Rouge/I-10 - just minutes from downtown Baton Rouge - opens today, bringing a new type of hospitality experience to Louisiana. Hyatt Place, a new kind of hotel that complements Hyatt's full service brands, combines contemporary design with innovative services and amenities to create an atmosphere of casual hospitality.
"People's lives have changed in that they are constantly multitasking, often simultaneously performing professional and personal tasks. Until Hyatt Place, there wasn't a hotel that provided an environment that allowed guests to make a transition from their daily 24/7 lifestyle to life away from home," said Alison Kal, vice president of marketing, Hyatt Corporation. "Now, thanks to a combination of technology, service and amenities, Hyatt Place guests can seamlessly shift from home to the hotel in a way they couldn't before."
Hyatt Place Baton Rouge/I-10 features 126 completely renovated guest rooms and public areas. The hotel conveniently located adjacent to the upscale Mall of Louisiana and is just a short drive from Louisiana State University and downtown Baton Rouge.
