Caption by Hyatt Chattanooga Downtown has opened marking the first Hyatt-branded property in Chattanooga, Tenn. Operated by LBA Hospitality and developed by 3H Group Inc., the 123-room hotel occupies the city’s Southside District and is the second Caption by Hyatt location in the U.S., joining Caption by Hyatt Downtown Nashville.
“Caption by Hyatt Chattanooga Downtown is a place where locals and travelers alike can create community and build connections,” said Jason Ballard, global brand leader of Hyatt’s Essentials Portfolio. “We’re happy to be planting Caption by Hyatt roots in another Tennessee city for World of Hyatt members and guests to visit while exploring the Volunteer State.”
Developed by Chattanooga native Hiren Desai, president and CEO of 3H Group Inc., the project reflects years of local investment.
“Bringing the first Hyatt-branded property to this city represents an important milestone,” said Hiren Desai. “Caption by Hyatt is an innovative brand, and its flexible design and focus on guest experience make it a natural fit for a city as dynamic and creative as Chattanooga.”
“This hotel brings new investment and a world-class hospitality brand to the Southside, a neighborhood that continues to define Chattanooga’s identity as a forward-thinking city,” said Tim Kelly, Mayor of Chattanooga.
The hotel features floor-to-ceiling windows, 55-inch HDTVs with Chromecast and Apotheke bath amenities. Food-and-beverage outlets include Nomia Modern Kitchen, Stratus Rooftop Lounge and Talk Shop in the lobby. “At Nomia Modern Kitchen, we’re serving Asian-inspired cuisine with a Tennessee soul,” said Chef Chris Moore, Corporate Director of Food & Beverage for LBA Hospitality.
“From the culinary creativity of Nomia to the skyline views at Stratus to the energy of Talk Shop, the goal is to create experiences that reflect Chattanooga’s character,” said Farrah Adams, COO of LBA Hospitality
The hotel is dog-friendly for pets up to 75 pounds and includes an on-site parking deck with valet service.
