$5.2 Million Three-Part Renovation Project Nears Completion for Hyatt Regency Bellevue in Washington

. September 22, 2014

BELLEVUE, WA - September 22, 2014 - Hyatt Regency Bellevue, located nine miles from downtown Seattle, announces its most sizeable hotel renovation since the addition of a second tower in 2009. This $5.2-million, three-part project includes completed updates to 381 guestrooms in the Cascade Tower and lobby, as well as an upcoming redesign of the pre-function and ballroom meeting spaces, slated for completion by the end of 2014.

The most eye-catching element of the project is the renovated lobby, newly designed for a connected, energizing experience. Guests will find all new furniture and upholstery to match the hotel's Asian-inspired design, and two Microsoft Windows® 8-powered interactive touch tables, created in cooperation with Microsoft Corp., Interknowlogy and Moncierge. The 55-inch touchscreen tables feature advanced processing power that utilizes the latest Perceptive Pixel (PPI) technology. These innovative centerpieces, nested in beautiful coffee table units, complement the new lounge decor and allow guests to browse hotel and area information, view flights, play games like air hockey and 3D chess, surf the web and much more.

"Our goal for the lobby renovation was to create a go-to gathering place where guests can easily relax, engage, meet and recharge," said Tom Wolf, general manager at Hyatt Regency Bellevue. "The seamless integration of technology and comfort resulted in a space where any tech-savvy traveler will want to kick back and stay a while, whether it's to work or play."

"We are excited to work with Hyatt Regency Bellevue on this innovative hotel lobby experience," said Greg Jones, managing director for hospitality and travel at Microsoft. "Hotels are using today's transformative technologies to provide guests with useful and engaging experiences. The hotel's investment shows its commitment to excellent customer service."

Additionally, the 381 guestrooms in the hotel's original Cascade Tower each received all new upholstery and carpet as well as new hardwood furniture and lighting to create a comfortable and inviting look. Rounding out the renovation project by the end of 2014, the Cascade Tower pre-function space and ballroom will be revamped to bolster Hyatt Regency Bellevue's existing reputation as a premier meeting, convention and event venue. The spaces will be finished with all new carpet, lighting, paneled airwalls, wall coverings and furniture, costing an estimated $2.6 million.
