The Caption by Hyatt Chattanooga (Tenn.) Downtown has opened in the city’s Southside District, representing the first Hyatt-branded property in the city.
The 123-room hotel is operated by Dothan, Ala.-based LBA Hospitality and developed by Chatanooga-based 3H Group. The property is the second Caption by Hyatt hotel in the U.S., following the opening of Caption by Hyatt Downtown Nashville. The brand also has an international presence in markets including Osaka and Tokyo, Japan; Sydney, Australia; and Shanghai, China.
“Bringing the first Hyatt-branded property to this city represents an important milestone and seeing Caption by Hyatt Chattanooga Downtown come to life in the Southside reflects years of deliberate work and partnership,” Hiren Desai, president and CEO of 3H Group, said in a statement. “Caption by Hyatt is an innovative brand, and its flexible design and focus on guest experience make it a natural fit for a city as dynamic and creative as Chattanooga.”
“We’re happy to be planting Caption by Hyatt roots in another Tennessee city. This opening would not be possible without the dedication and commitment from the teams at 3H Group and LBA Hospitality who are bringing this experiential brand to life in Chattanooga,” added Jason Ballard, global brand leader for Hyatt’s Essentials Portfolio.
The property is in the city's Southside neighborhood, which has undergone redevelopment in recent years, transitioning from an industrial corridor into a mixed-use district with a growing concentration of hospitality and entertainment offerings.
