USA | Hyatt has celebrated the groundbreaking of its latest property, Hyatt Place Sonoma Wine Country, following five years of development.
Landmark Hotels, Inc. celebrated a blessing and groundbreaking ceremony at the site of the Hyatt Place Sonoma Wine Country, with ownership, project team members and the Sonoma County community in attendance. The highly awaited start of construction follows more than five years of work to seek the necessary entitlements before final permitting in October.
The 165-unit hotel will feature brand style accommodations with a regional design palate, where guests can enjoy thoughtfully designed guestrooms featuring distinct zones for sleep, work and play. These guestrooms have been designed for the comfort of individual corporate or leisure travellers as well as for families who will appreciate the sofa beds and the connecting room options. The hotel will also feature large suites with views facing the Sonoma hills.
In keeping with the Hyatt Place brand design direction, the hotel combines style, innovation and 24/7 conveniences to create an easy-to-navigate experience for today's busy, connected traveller. Hyatt Place Sonoma Wine Country will incorporate an elevated lobby style and meeting spaces to attract travellers who appreciate the latest technology as well as attractive spaces for socialising and networking. The lobby will have a bar that serves locally crafted wines, beer and spirits, as well as Starbucks coffee drinks, and a 24/7 To Go corner.
Breakfast will be served in the adjacent Dining Area, designed to exude a sense of calm and create a convivial experience among guests. A pool, well equipped fitness centre and a Sonoma country garden will add to the hotel's Wine Country charm.
A rooftop bar and restaurant with views of arriving and departing flights, will offer guests and Sonoma County residents a new stimulating dining experience, especially for aviation enthusiasts, and feature an Italian/Mediterranean menu for lunch and dinner.
Hyatt Director of Franchise Performance Thomas Alviso took part in the groundbreaking ceremony, together with Sonoma County Tourism President and CEO Claudia Vecchio. Dr. Ketan C. Mehta, founder of Neilmed Pharmaceuticals, joined the Landmark team led by Chairman Chuck Sweeney for the ceremony.
“We expect the hotel to be completed and receive its first guests by late 2026. We celebrate with our project partners and the community and thank everyone who has contributed to making this groundbreaking happen,” said Shawn Sweeney, President of Landmark Hotels, Inc.
As part of its groundbreaking celebration, Landmark Hotels presented a check to the Redwood Empire Food Bank and asked invited guests to bring their contribution to fill Food Bank containers at the reception.
