'Hyatt Place Garden City will be the city's first hotel to open since 2006.

Hyatt Place Garden City offers:

• Complimentary Wi-Fi access throughout the hotel
  
• Complimentary continental breakfast featuring a variety of fresh fruits, hot and cold cereal, yogurt, breads, premium coffee and an assortment of juices
  
• 1,100 square feet of meeting space

'Hyatt Place has established significant traction since its launch and the opening of Hyatt Place Garden City, the brand's 146th hotel, is the perfect way to kick off the brand's growth in 2010,' said Gary Dollens, senior vice president, Hyatt Hotels Management Corporation. 'We regularly hear from travelers across the country that the Hyatt Place environment is what they are looking for in a hotel and we are confident travelers to Garden City will agree.'

Hyatt Place hotels are specially designed to accommodate today's 24/7 lifestyle, offering amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi access, large lobby space, a StayFit@Hyatt fitness center, a coffee and wine bar serving Starbucks(R) specialty coffees and premium wine and beer, and the Grab 'n Go case stocked with freshly made sandwiches and salads. The Guest Kitchen offers made-to-order breakfast, lunch and dinner entrees around the clock, in addition to the complimentary continental breakfast served daily. Specially trained Hosts are on hand to offer assistance with everything from directions to check-in to a freshly made meal.

Spacious guestrooms feature multiple areas to work and relax and include the Cozy Corner(TM), an eight-foot couch; plush Hyatt Grand Bed(TM); and ergonomic work center. Every guestroom is also equipped with a state-of-the-art media center that allows electronic devices to plug directly into the 42-inch high definition television, giving guests instant access to the technological amenities they're accustomed to accessing at home or in the office.

Hyatt Place Garden City is located on Long Island just a short drive from Hofstra University and Nassau Coliseum. For additional convenience, the hotel is also within walking distance to Roosevelt Field Mall, the fifth largest mall in the country.
