One of the biggest knocks against Hyatt over the years has been the size of their footprint. Compared to hotel behemoths like Marriott, Hilton, and Wyndham, they just don’t match up.

Takeaway
As you can see, this list is heavy with Hyatt House and Hyatt Place properties. Having stayed at many of those around the US, there is a nice appeal for those that need longer term places for work, for anyone looking for a nice, neat, and functional hotel, and also for families.
Of course, we like the luxury of the Park Hyatt brand and the upscale yet local feel of the Andaz, but I think there is a nice overall mix of the properties opening up. I don’t think that there are that many other places right now that would call for a Park Hyatt on the West Coast.
