The Brand and Hotel
You've arrived. Hyatt Centric is at the center of some of the most unique destinations—in the middle of the action, in the know and always on-hand to serve up insider knowledge, intriguing tidbits and great conversation over a well-crafted cocktail. We’re a local home base, preparing our guests to explore the best our cities have to offer so they can go forth and discover!
Hyatt Centric all started with a passion for sharing our favorite local spots and stories with our guests. This inspired us to create the perfect launch pad – a unique home base with everything our guests need and nothing they don’t.
Our target guests are the Savvy Explorers. Socially connected guests seeking shareable moments to inspire others. Hyatt Centric is built for savvy explorers who want to be tapped into what’s hot, fresh and exciting wherever they are, especially if it’s off the beaten path. They are smart with their money and look for good value where they can – preferring experiences that aren’t padded with a bunch of extras they don’t need. They are the influencers, the travel experts within their circles who everyone looks to for travel advice and tips. But they can’t possibly know it all, so they rely on local recommendations from like- minded “savvy explorers” who can point them in the direction of interesting experiences that they can share with their social circle.
