Hyatt Hotels opens Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica. The property is the Hyatt Centric lifestyle brand’s sixth hotel in California and the 101st Hyatt hotel in the Golden State.
Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica is located near the Santa Monica Pier, the Third Street Promenade, the Venice Beach Boardwalk and the retail district. Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica will continue to be managed by Viceroy Hotel Group, an operating division of Highgate.
The hotel is expected to soon undergo a $16 million refurbishment, bringing a modern touch to its 315 guestrooms. The refresh will also reimagine the property’s dining experience, with an all-new three-meal restaurant and bar, while revitalizing nearly 15,000 square feet of meeting space, including a stunning 4,500 square foot rooftop ballroom with panoramic ocean views. The updates will extend to the lobby and guest arrival area, creating a welcoming entry for guests. Additionally, the full-service hotel boasts an inviting fitness facility, including an outdoor pool and whirlpool, ensuring a comprehensive and influential guest experience.
The refresh of Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica is slated to begin this fall, with a carefully phased approach so as not to disrupt operations during the improvements.
“We are committed to growing Hyatt’s brand presence in the leisure and lifestyle segment, and our latest Hyatt Centric hotel opening in a key market like Los Angeles demonstrates our focus on destinations that resonate most with our guests and World of Hyatt members,” Mike Waddell, senior vice president global franchise operations at Hyatt, said in a statement. “As the first Hyatt hotel in Santa Monica, this lifestyle property not only celebrates the area’s vibrant culture but also offers our guests an opportunity to explore one of Los Angeles’ most iconic coastal destinations. True to the Hyatt Centric brand, the hotel is excited to welcome visitors to a space that creates connection and inspires discovery.”
"We are excited to continue the hotel’s legacy as a premier destination in Santa Monica," said Mike Walsh, COO of Viceroy Hotel Group. "This property has long been a staple in the neighborhood, and we look forward to its next chapter through a new look and feel as Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica."
