flat-screen LCD television, a DVD player, a stereo soundbar and
complimentary Wi-Fi.

Hyatt Regency Wuhan Optics Valley aims to create share-worthy drinking

cuisine with a twist at both lunch and dinner. For more intimate events,
there are 10 private dining rooms, including one that seats up to 22

Equipped with an open kitchen and a wood-fired oven, DAMIANO serves
authentic, contemporary Italian cuisine at dinner, accompanied by
premium wines from Italy.
The Lobby Lounge boasts a 108-foot-(33-meter) long, wood-topped
