Hyatt Regency DC Unveils Spankin' New Lobby

Finally, the Hyatt Regency Washington DC has completed the renovations on their lobby, transforming the public spaces from staid Hyatt lobby into a $7 million, tech-savvy, social scene. Here's the press release description:

An awe-inspiring grand staircase awaits guests as they enter the lobby, paralleled with new glass paneled escalators connecting them to the registration level. Modern staffed registration pods and separate self check-in kiosks ensure an easy and efficient welcome. A sparkling custom chandelier draws attention to the lobby and lounge, where luxurious couches sprinkled with fluffy pillows await, inviting guests to unwind.

Here's what that description would look like if HotelChatter was doing PR: This place looks a heck of a lot better than it used to. Yeah, we got escalators too! Got a problem with that? And in keeping the place high-tech, we added some check-in kiosks. Don't know if you'll use 'em but we got 'em. And the couches in our lobby and lounge are so comfortable you can totally pass out here after drinking one too many after Election Night.

Room rates at the Hyatt start at around $219 a night.

    excuse me...

    are you making some stereotypical jersey jokes based on the location of this fine establishment? i think i may take some offense to this commentary.

    i didn't realize...

    that when i finally let loose of my inhibitions and write as my mind tells me, and not as the AP Style Guidebook tells me to do so, that i just totally sound like a jersey girl. oh my frigging god.
