I had always wondered about Hyatt, and their lack of a business/modern concept, but I think they finally have a winner with this place.
The Hyatt Place Plantation is certainly not in downtown, but it doesn't have to be. Just a 10 minute drive from the airport, the location puts you out of all that noise, and in a quiet office park, which might be an upgrade from the noisy A1A spring-break crowd. Close to a mall, but I wasn't familiar with the area to know much else.
The design is very casual/modern, with emphasis on technology, from free wifi throughout, to the plasma TV that you can watch from bed or the living area. Unlike a lot of hotels who don't get it right, Hyatt had all the right touches here, from upgraded softer bath towels, to an awesome lounge-sofa and wet-bar, all for what I'd pay for a much less-impressive and arguably, bland-styled Courtyard. Nice colors and finishes throughout the hotel are the right design for this place...comfortable, yet modern and sophisticated. Not a corporate-boring hotel, more stylish like a W.
Free breakfast had truly healthy options, with Starbucks coffee, and a helpful staff. The lobby is conducive to a quick meeting, or just a place to hang out, grab a meal, and relax. Parking was ample and free.
The check-in kiosk was great, as the desk staff was occupied by some tourists, and worked flawlessly.
Only possible minus:
Giant-bathroom obsessed Americans: this hotel is not for you...done euro-style with the tub and toilet in one area, sink in the living area.
This is by far, the best business/casual format hotel I have stayed at yet. Kudos to the management and Hyatt. This place worked so well for me, I will definitely stay again!
