<\/a><\/p>\nA multimillion-dollar transformation is underway at Iowa\u2019s only Hyatt Regency, with a planned completion by late summer 2023. Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center\u2019s renovation features a complete makeover of the guest rooms and a reimagined and highly curated food and beverage experience\u2014all designed to deliver a market-leading hospitality experience.<\/p>\n
Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center sits at the heart of the dynamic Iowa River Landing, which is the fastest-growing retail, restaurant, and cultural hub in Coralville and is steps away from the new Xtream Arena, home to regional and national sporting and cultural events.<\/p>\n
Converted to the Hyatt Regency brand in late summer 2021, the 286-room property is getting a complete refresh that will reflect the needs and wants of today\u2019s leisure and business travelers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis renovation will blend the brand\u2019s sophisticated, contemporary design and culinary style with Iowa City\u2019s rich arts, culture, and literary scene,\u201d said Matt Traetow, general manager of Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center. \u201cAs tourism continues to pick up in the city and nationally, more travelers are eager to combine business and leisure travel and we\u2019re thrilled to offer best-in-class service with our newly renovated property.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Guest rooms will feature smart lighting and enhanced connectivity as well as custom flooring, furniture, beds, and desks. Each room will also have motion lighting, 55\u201d smart TVs, and hand-selected and curated local art. King rooms will include a chaise lounge for additional leisure, working, and sleeping space.<\/p>\n
The renovation will add two new suites, increasing the guest room count to 288. As guests enter on the first floor, they will also find a new Regency Club lounge and an expanded gym with new state-of-the-art equipment, including PelotonR\u00a0bikes, a family lounge, and a resurfaced pool and spa.<\/p>\n
As part of the transformation, the hotel will debut a new restaurant concept, Watermill Kitchen + Bar, with a spacious outdoor patio that will serve hotel guests, locals, and those from Iowa and beyond looking for a local dining experience that truly exemplifies the destination. The hotel will also offer a new, expanded cafe\u0301 and marketplace. The renovations are designed to complement the hotel\u2019s existing amenities, such as the Iowa Writers\u2019 Library (a collection of regional, national, and international writers who graduated from the University of Iowa\u2019s renowned Writer\u2019s Workshop), and the Iowa River Landing Wetland Park that acts as a beautiful and natural backdrop to the property.<\/p>\n
Throughout the renovation process, the hotel will give back to the community through donations of existing furniture to local organizations, including Iowa City\u2019s Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Houses into Homes.<\/p>\n
Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center is owned by the city of Coralville and managed by the leading hotel operator, Marcus Hotels & Resorts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hotel and restaurant refresh will take this property to the next level and will serve as a showcase for the area offering amenities and experiences you can\u2019t get anywhere else,\u201d said Kelly Hayworth, Coralville City Administrator. \u201cIt\u2019s the only full-service hotel in the area, which means it\u2019s ideal for those traveling for sports or performing arts events as well as the increasing number of leisure travelers and remote workers who want a beautiful destination within walking distance of so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Located by the Iowa River and Wetland Park, the property is ideally situated for locals and tourists to enjoy nature walks, bird watching and wildlife photography. The hotel is also near Von Maur, an Iowa-based department store that was recently named as the top department store in the nation by Newsweek, and two miles from the highly traveled intersection of I-80 and I-380.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
