Hyatt to Manage 428-Room Hyatt Regency Trinidad at the Port of Spain International Waterfront Development

Chicago-based Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced this week it will manage the 428-room Hyatt Regency Trinidad in Port of Spain, Trinidad. It will be Hyatt´s first business and convention hotel in the Caribbean and its fifth property overall in the region, joining Hyatt Regency Aruba, Hyatt Dorado Beach (Puerto Rico), Hyatt Regency Grand Cayman, and Hyatt Regency Curacao (opening in late 2007). Construction on the hotel has already begun.

The hotel will be a welcome addition to Trinidad for business travelers and convention goers. Located 30 minutes from Piarco International Airport, Hyatt Regency Trinidad will be one of the few local venues to offer expansive state-of-the-art meeting facilities. With 43,000 square-feet of flexible meeting space, the hotel will accommodate both large and small gatherings. Included in the function space are a 16,000 square-foot Grand Ballroom and a 10,000 square-foot multipurpose facility.

Two full service restaurants, a lobby bar and lounge, and a rooftop bar and grill will offer guests a variety of food and beverage options. Hyatt´s award winning chefs will also cater to banquets and other large occasions to be held at Hyatt Regency Trinidad.

Guests of the hotel will be able to find relaxation and invigoration, without leaving the premises, at the 9,000 square foot spa and fitness center. The hotel´s serene rooftop pool and terrace will similarly provide an escape for business travelers after long workdays. The hotel will also feature private entry to the waterfront esplanade and park adjacent to the hotel.

In addition to catering to travelers´ needs within the hotel, plans for the hotel property include a parking facility for 200 cars.
