They seek experiential travel with hotels serving as launching pads for exploration.

Hyatt Centric occupies the "upper-upscale lifestyle" segment—positioned between Hyatt Regency and boutique brands like Andaz. Key differentiators include prime central locations in the heart of destinations, eclectic fun design with locally inspired artwork/furniture telling each location's story, bar/restaurant areas focusing on locally sourced food and craft cocktails, communal spaces designed for modern work-life balance, destination-expert staff who are explorers themselves, and customizable properties that attract selective guests wanting "the best of what's essential and none of what's not." Comparable brands include Kimpton and Canopy by Hilton.

How does Hyatt Centric design reflect its local destination?

Each Hyatt Centric hotel tells its destination's story through design. Hyatt Centric Center City Philadelphia features industrial materials (exposed concrete, blackened steel, stitched leather, warm wood) reflecting Philadelphia's craftsmanship heritage, plus the striking "Philacentric" mural by local artist Serena Saunders celebrating the city's mural tradition. Properties showcase locally inspired artwork, curated book collections, neighborhood-focused F&B (like Patchwork Restaurant in Philadelphia celebrating diverse neighborhoods), and staff trained as destination experts providing insider recommendations. The design is eclectic and fun while maintaining upscale sophistication—creating unique experiences rather than cookie-cutter hotel rooms.

How do room upgrades work with Hyatt Privé?

Room upgrades are confirmed within 24 hours of your booking request based on forecasted occupancy—giving you advance certainty rather than waiting until check-in. While subject to availability, Hyatt Privé guests receive upgrade priority over standard bookings. Upgrades are room-to-room or suite-to-suite within the next available category. Early check-in and late checkout are also confirmed within 24 hours of request based on forecasted occupancy. Combining Hyatt Privé benefits with World of Hyatt Globalist status may provide additional upgrade opportunities including suite upgrades.
