A commercial, cultural, and entertainment destination, the Hollywood
location will deliver on The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand promise
of creating story-worthy and shareable experiences for modern travelers.
In addition to its 39 guest rooms and 24 suites, The Unbound Collection
by Hyatt hotel will feature a variety of food and beverage experiences,
including a ground-level restaurant, street-front lounge, and rooftop
pool deck and lounge. The hotel will cater to both leisure and business
travelers seeking an upscale, lively hotel experience in the heart of
vibrant Hollywood.
The Hollywood hotel is part of a broader expansion of The Unbound
Collection by Hyatt brand in North America. The brand added two new
hotels in 2017: Holston House in Nashville, Tenn., and Spirit Ridge
resort in Osoyoos, British Columbia, with the addition of two more
hotels expected this spring: the newly built Eliza Jane hotel in New
Orleans and The Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia. These four new hotels
will nearly double the brand’s current portfolio. From historic urban
gems in Nashville and Philadelphia, to a contemporary trend-setter in
New Orleans and an adobe-style resort on historical grounds in Canada,
each new property in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand portfolio
will give guests the opportunity to create shareable experiences and
will provide travelers with a variety of upper-upscale and luxurious
accommodations.
“We are thrilled to continue growing The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
brand with these new North American properties,” said Sandra Cordova
Micek, senior vice president, global brands for Hyatt. “Whether it’s a
captivating past, an exclusive destination or world-class architecture
and design, each of the new properties joining The Unbound Collection by
Hyatt brand will maintain their distinct character and the freedom to be
unique, giving the modern traveler even more ways to enjoy one-of-a-kind
choices when they travel.”
Holston House
Named after the Holston River and inspired by the adventurous spirit of
Tennessee’s founding fathers, this newly built 191-room premier boutique
hotel opened in December 2017. It is located in an iconic 1920s Art Deco
building in downtown Nashville, just blocks from the Cumberland River
and the iconic Ryman Auditorium, an ideal location to discover
Nashville’s vibrant streets and neighborhoods. New York-based design
firm Stonehill Taylor reimagined the hotel’s design, combining rugged
modernism with authenticity through various décor elements such as
classic overdyed rugs, leather accents, and wooden features. Holston
House’s thoughtful accommodations and amenities include four plush
one-bedroom suites, two signature 12th-floor Penthouse Suites, a fitness
center, and a series of food and beverage offerings, including a
signature restaurant, spacious lobby bar and lounge, and dynamic rooftop
pool bar – all concepted by New York-based APICII restaurant group. holstonhousenashville.hyatt.com
Spirit Ridge
Situated 250 miles east of Vancouver in Osoyoos, British Columbia,
Canada, Spirit Ridge joined The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in
December 2017. Although just 10 years old, the resort peacefully shares
land that has been home of the Osoyoos Indian Band for thousands of
years. Rich in culture and historical relevance, the resort’s design
embraces the Okanagan First Nations people and celebrates their deep
spiritual connection to natural surroundings. The adobe style resort
provides a full range of services and amenities including a
7,000-square-foot conference center, 226 suites and villas with fully
equipped kitchens and private terraces, private beach access to the
nearby Lake Osoyoos, three food and beverage experiences, several pools
with hot tubs and private cabanas.
Spirit Ridge is undergoing a $5 million renovation to enhance the guest
experience and will remain open while upgrades are taking place. All
guest suites, public areas, swimming pools, meeting rooms, restaurants
and fitness centers will be refreshed, and the first phase of
renovations is anticipated to be completed by Spring 2018. All
renovations will be an authentic representation of the South Okanagan
Valley and the sacred land on which it sits. spiritridge.hyatt.com
The Bellevue Hotel
The Bellevue Hotel, which is slated to rebrand from Hyatt at The
Bellevue to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in March 2018, is
located in Philadelphia. A beacon of sophistication, design, and
society, the hotel has hosted royalty, world leaders, cultural icons and
history-making events throughout its 113-year history.
Featuring 172 guest rooms, 30,000 square feet of meeting and event
space, and the highly rated XIX (NINETEEN) fine dining American
restaurant, the hotel underwent a multi-million dollar renovation in
2016. Its new design, led by Marguerite Rodgers Interior Design, is a
modern interpretation of classic Philadelphia that explores the rich
political, artistic, theatrical and musical history of the city. Drawing
on inspiration from the hotel’s iconic location on the celebrated Avenue
of the Arts, all guest rooms feature a contemporary take on 18th
century furnishings, as well as art from local Philadelphia painters and
photographers. Known as the “Grand Dame of Broad Street,” the hotel will
continue to serve as the epicenter for Philadelphia’s prestigious social
and business community.
The Eliza Jane
The Eliza Jane hotel, expected to open in Spring 2018 in the heart of
downtown New Orleans, will evoke a balance of timelessness with modern
style and luxury. To be located at 315 Magazine Street, on the edge of
the booming Central Business District, the hotel will convey a sense of
hidden history of stories still left untold. This impeccably designed
196-room hotel will feature 50 suites, a fitness center, street-level
restaurant, lobby lounge and 1,800 square-feet of flexible meeting and
event space on the lobby level.
Originally built in the 1860s, the building’s vibrant architecture and
storied walls will speak to hotel guests by revealing its impressive
pedigree, complemented by elegant design aesthetics, intriguing spaces,
inviting service and destination culinary and cocktail experiences. theelizajane.hyatt.com

Collection by Hyatt brand properties around the world, including The
Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas, The Royal Palms in Phoenix, The
