Announced today, Hyatt will be taking over Chateau Bourbon, a Wyndam property, located in the French Quarter on Iberville.
Good news, finally, Hyatt will have 3 properties in NO.
Looks like the property could use some work, but it has a great location.

Hyatt French Quarter opening 2012
Hadn't seen this before -
Historic Bourbon Street hotel to undergo makeover, become a Hyatt Barbara De Lollis, USA TODAYUpdated 9/16/2011 5:53 PM
The historic Chateau Bourbon Hotel in New Orleans' French Quarter is getting a major overhaul and by mid-2012 will open as a Hyatt hotel.
The hotel's transformation into the "Hyatt French Quarter" hotel.
The renovation should be completed by mid-2012, Carey Watermark Investors says in a recent press release.
The makeover includes a revamp of the hotel's food and beverage operations and an increase in its room count to 254, or four more rooms.
The deal will give Hyatt a full-service hotel located at the intersection of Bourbon Street and Canal Street, a solid location for both tourists and business travelers whether they're going to Harrah's Casino, the New Orleans Convention Center or the Superdome.
Chicago-based Carey Watermark, a non-traded real estate investment trust, made a joint venture investment of about $46 million with New Orleans-based HRI Properties, the original owner. Carey Watermark's investment is worth about $31 million.
The hotel's housed in a building that opened in 1849 as the D. H. Holmes department store. In 1995, HRI converted it into a hotel that also contains some leased commercial space.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that HRI had faced a Sept. 1 deadline to pay off roughly $16 million in debt, and the new investment helped HRI avoid selling the hotel.
Carey Watermark CEO Mike Medzigian told the Journal that the hotel will undergo an $18 million renovation before taking the Hyatt's name."
...OOPS! Already reported in the new properties thread. Thanks for the move, Peter.

Nice to see Hyatt continuing to fill in gaps in So Cal - only major gaps now is is the downtown LA/Pasadena area (where they could use a property or two) and a better LAX property with an airport shuttle/parking.
The Hyatt Place "Coming Soon" signed is still erected opposite Home Depot on South Melrose Drive (Carlsbad-Vista, CA) - but has been for some time now, so possibly that's been deferred.
I was passing by Flushing yesterday and found the block next to Sheraton LGA east post signs with Hyatt name on it. It seems a new HP is under construction.
You would think there would be one there considering OMA is where Hyatt CS Center is - it's kind of funny that if you go to visit them you have to stay with a competitor.

I've always thought that...when I mention it to most CSR's, it's usually met with...crickets!
