OMAHA—A Hyatt Hotel Corp. affiliate has purchased land here for the construction of a Hyatt Place hotel that it will own and manage. The hotel is expected to open in 2014.
Hyatt Place Omaha Downtown/Old Market will have 159 rooms in a nine-story building located on the northwest corner of Jackson St. and 12th St. in the Old Market district. The hotel, designed by the Chicago office of the DLR Group, will be situated in the arts and entertainment center that features fine dining, shopping, corporate meeting facilities and upscale nightlife.
Hyatt Place Omaha Downtown/Old Market will be the first Hyatt hotel in Nebraska and will join Hyatt’s worldwide reservations center based here, which provides customer service and sales support for all international and domestic hotels.
“We look forward to introducing the Hyatt brand to Nebraska and Omaha and particularly to establishing Hyatt Place in the city and state,” said Chris Ivy, SVP/real estate and development for Hyatt Hotels & Resorts.
