Hyatt Centric Key West Debuts

Hyatt Centric Key West Resort & Spa recently became the latest property to join Hyatt’s new Hyatt Centric portfolio of lifestyle hotels. Following a multimillion-dollar refresh, the former Hyatt Key West Resort & Spa now incorporates the Hyatt Centric brand philosophy of providing intuitive travel experiences that draw upon local offerings and experiences such as nearby Duval Street, Ernest Hemingway’s Home and Museum, and Mallory Square.

Located in Key West’s historic Old Town, the waterfront resort is comprised of 120 contemporary guest rooms with private balconies that offer sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico. After receiving an extensive overhaul, the rooms now feature colorful furnishings and artwork inspired by the vibrancy of the island. Amenities such as Moleskin journals, Drybar Buttercup blow dryers and eco-friendly Bee Kind bath products are now offered in-room, in addition to hotel-wide additions such as authentic Cuban coffee and novels by Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams that accentuate Key West’s special history.

Among the many property upgrades, Blue Mojito Pool Bar and Grill received a significant refresh. Redesigned in cool blue hues, accents of sea and lime greens, and beach-chic neutrals, the new pool bar now offers enhanced ocean views, accommodations for larger parties and additions including:

• New booths and tables with custom woodwork.
• Blue and green translucent art murals that embody the destination’s tropical landscape.
• New dining chairs, side chairs and barstools.
• An indoor chandelier, outdoor ceiling fan; backlit glass signage and new televisions at the bar.
• Additional wind protection on the waterfront.

The resort’s Jala Spa also underwent significant updates, notably its change of location to the ground floor and the addition of a third treatment room, and manicure and pedicure station. The modified look also comprises new, elegant furniture, updated shower fixtures, paint and tiles, finishes in the bathrooms and treatment rooms, and sleek wood floors — all of which retain the same blue and neutral color tones found throughout the property and Key West’s natural landscape.

The hotel is owned by Xenia Hotels & Resorts Inc. For more information on Hyatt Centric Key West Resort & Spa, visit www.keywest.centric.hyatt.com.
