CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the opening of Hyatt Place Tijuana in Baja California, Mexico. Hyatt Place Tijuana is the fourth Hyatt Place hotel to open in Mexico, and continues Hyatt’s growth strategy in the country.

“We are delighted to see that the Hyatt Place brand’s guest appeal is growing and leveraging travelers from Mexico and around the world,” said Myles McGourty, senior vice president, Latin America & Caribbean for Hyatt. “Tijuana is a vibrant border city, drawing business and leisure travelers to the area from Mexico and the United States.
