by Darren Murph, posted Feb 6th 2008 at 7:34AM


Hyatt Hotels have long since been a safe haven for HD junkies on the run, so those who find themselves living out of a suitcase will certainly appreciate this news. Reportedly, a total of 86 Hyatt Place hotels have been approved for construction, and you'll find these new projects going up in a smorgasbord of American and Canadian cities. As expected, every single new Hyatt Place will offer guests complimentary WiFi, an eight-foot sleeper sofa, a 42-inch HDTV, at least 11 channels of HD programming, the firm's own Plug Panel and access to games on NFL Sunday Ticket and NBA League Pass to boot. For a list of cities where these gems are headed, be sure and give the read link a visit.

Those used to seeing an AmeriSuites hotel in the Crosswoods area of Columbus, Ohio may be wondering where it went. Reportedly, the hotel has been converted into a Hyatt Place in an attempt to "to reach a younger audience," and it's far from being the only one. Hyatt Corp. has been on somewhat of an upgrading rampage as it converts and upgrades a number of hotels to cater to the demanding traveler, spending around "$32,000 per room on Hyatt Place conversions." That cash is purportedly being used in order to add such niceties as wireless internet, large sofa sleepers, wet bars and most importantly, 42-inch flat-panel TVs with 11 channels of high-definition programming. Talk about home away from home.

Hyatt's Plug Panel opens new world of connectivity to 42-inch HDTV

Hyatt Place has always had a soft spot for the traveling HD junkie, and it's reiterating said point by introducing a new Plug Panel in all of its rooms. Reportedly, the company is aiming to equip each guest room with a 42-inch HDTV by the year's end, and with that will come an integrated panel that allows patrons to plug in a myriad devices for big-screen interaction. The panel will readily accept a component input (with stereo audio), VGA / HDMI cables, audio via a 3.5-millimeter jack and the obligatory composite input. Additionally, each plate will be equipped with twin AC outlets, and just in case you'd overlooked it, each set will be able to receive 11 high-definition options. Looks like your travel plans just got a lot firmer, eh?
