The Mediterranean island of Malta is a fascinating place... but, truth be told, this post is about Malta, New York, where Hyatt Place just opened a new outpost.

The Hyatt Place hotels cater to a business clientele, replete with free WiFi, ergonomic chairs, check-in kiosks, gyms, Hyatt-trademarked beds, food that can be ordered via touch-screen menu 24/7, and "Gallery Hosts" (or, in traditional industry vernacular, concierges.) This one will definitely follow the model.

You may be wondering, what the heck is in Malta, anyway? It's practically a bedroom community of Albany, with all of its Empire State budget-cutting intrigue.

More importantly, it's right near Saratoga Springs, home to much enthralling thoroughbred horseracing, polo tournaments, the whole equestrian lifestyle.

It's also known for soothing spas, a smattering of unusual hotels (the National Bottle Museum, anyone?) historic battlefields, and President's Grant's Cottage.

And maybe Hyatt is anticipating some hotel action given the the municipal website reports "the town currently has a major non-tech park in the development stage." A business influx like that would certainly help to fill up empty rooms during the off-racing season.
