This is great news but more properties in Europe would be most welcome!

Grand Hyatt Seattle and Olive 8 are across the street from each other. ;)

Hotel Sierra and AVIA Hotels to become Hyatts
 

MODS: Can you consolidate with http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hyatt...h-america.html

Hyatt announced they will acquire LodgeWorks LP, a private company that owns 24 hotels. One is a Hyatt Place and two are Summerfield Suites, and the other 21 are Hotel Sierra (to be rebranded SS) and 4 are AVIA (to be rebranded under a full service flag).

Great to see some more Hyatt location in some of these markets, and a BIG expansion of the Summerfield brand. (36 -> 54)

Deal to close in third quarter 2011.

This is great. More locations for Hyatt stays...

Any word of dates for Avia to Hyatt conversion?
 

All I have seen is 3rd quarter, any other updates? Specifically Napa.

Good Afternoon,

The conversion from Avia to Hyatt is set to take place in September.

Sincerely,
Chrissi R.

Sooner than I was expecting! Really looking forward to these additions. Good job Hyatt! Now, about those FFN's......
