Hyatt Regency Coral Gables Undergoing Transformation
CORAL GABLES, FL, July 24, 2008. Hyatt Regency Coral Gables is announcing plans for a $10 million transformation, making it the "newest" luxury hotel in the heart of historic downtown Coral Gables. The boutique hotel was designed as a tribute to the majestic Alhambra Castle in Granada, Spain and characterizes by its European elegance. The transformation project will enhance all of its guestrooms and hallways, as well as its dining and entertainment spaces, the Two Sisters Restaurant and Alcazaba nightclub. All renovations are scheduled to begin in September and be completed by November 2008.
Coral Gables is an upscale and active enclave of Miami, Fla., noted as the place locals come to "shop, eat, stay, stroll, do business and be entertained."
"Hyatt has been part of the Coral Gables community for 20 years," said General Manager Gabe Castrillon. "Our clientele are sophisticated business travelers, leisure guests and event attendees. We want to ensure they get what they desire - luxurious accommodations and unsurpassed service."
Complimenting the Hyatt's Alhambra Castle facade, the new guestrooms will feature a Spanish Moor theme and combine comfort with chic, modern style. Rich mahogany furnishings will be paired with classic wrought iron mirrors and stylish accessories, accented with a color palette of rose hues and cool creams to create a luxe Arabian-Spanish design. Guestrooms will be furnished with the hotel's signature Hyatt Grand BedTM, ergonomic work stations, LG flat-screen televisions, a marble bath, iHome decks, wireless Internet access and mini-bars. Many guestrooms feature spacious balconies which overlook the lush garden courtyard, swimming pool and Coral Gables city views. All furniture, carpeting and fixtures will be upgraded in the hotel's 250 guestrooms to complete the new look.
