The Hyatt brand was born in 1957 when the Hyatt House was opened. It was a small motor hotel at the Los Angeles International Airport. Other small modest Hyatt hotels were opened in California and Chicago over the next ten years. In 1967 the Hyatt Regency was opened in Atlanta, Georgia which features a twenty-one story atrium lobby. That reshaped the lodging industry and marked the Hyatt brand as a hospitality leader. In 1980 the Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt brands were born. As of 2009, the Hyatt company owns and operates six different hotel brands.
Grand Hyatt hotels exist on six continents, and are present in eighteen different countries, expanding into the nineteenth country in 2009.

You can stay at a Grand Hyatt in Georgia, Colorado, New York, Washington state, Washington DC, Florida, two Texas locations and two California locations.
Grand Hyatt hotels are five-star, luxury resorts strategically placed near tourist attractions, major airports and vast business centers. They function as quality lodging for discerning travelers who want to experience luxury while away from home. Some of the Grand Hyatt's offer apartments for longer stays. Prices vary according to location, season, type of room and booking rates.
Grand Hyatt hotels feature luxury rooms and suites with top quality mattresses, flat screen TV's, nicely appointed bathrooms and modern decor. You'll find meeting spaces, sometimes convention centers or large ballrooms available for your use as well. Multiple pools, spas, bars and restaurants are conveniently located on-site to keep their discerning traveler's happy. Nightclubs are featured in some of the hotels as well.

Every Grand Hyatt is different in its appearance. There are rectangular buildings with different finishes, round shapes and other architectural elements making every single Grand Hyatt distinctive.
