PUERTO RICO
Hyatt Hotels Corporation, PRISA Group and McConnell Valdes Consulting recently announced the opening of Hyatt Place Manatí in Manatí, Puerto Rico.
The Governor of Puerto Rico, the Hon. Alejandro Garcia Padilla, attended the hotel’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. Hyatt Place Manatí represents the first international hotel brand in the north central region of Puerto Rico and the second Hyatt Place hotel to open in Puerto Rico within the last three months, marking the return of Hyatt-branded hotels to the Island after a seven-year absence.
In December of 2013, Puerto Rico’s first Hyatt Place hotel opened in the municipality of Bayamon and has been warmly received by the region.
The Hyatt Place brand expansion continues in Puerto Rico with Hyatt Place Manatí and will be followed by a Hyatt House hotel in San Juan, which is expected to open later this year. Hyatt House San Juan will mark the first hotel in the extended stay segment to open in Puerto Rico.
“Hyatt Place was built from the insight of our guests' appreciation for approachable style, where design and quality is delivered in a very simple and affordable fashion,” said Chris Walker, vice president of brands, Hyatt Place. “This second opening furthers the meaningful growth of our brand in Puerto Rico, and throughout the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico and Latin America over the next few years.”
