Hyatt Place Hotel to be Proposed by Woodruff Hospitality

Evansville Based Investment Attracts Outside Financing

The City County Observer conducted an exclusive interview with ranking officials of the Woodruff Hospitality organization. The renderings of the Hyatt Place hotel that will be proposed are presented below. The proposal will include all of the construction activities that are required to establish a Downtown Convention Hotel, walk bridges to the Centre and the Arena, a 300 place underground parking garage, the demolition of the existing Executive Inn, and the configuration of a formal load out zone behind the Arena that was omitted from previous layouts.

Additional details of the deal including some details about how the early commitment of Evansville based private investment were leveraged to attract outside funding will be released by the City County Observer within 24 hours. In the mean time enjoy the renderings and rest assured that at least one Evansville led credible proposal will be made.

The overall timeline has the potential to lead to a Spring of 2012 grand opening.

The picture above shows a layout of the 220 room Hyatt Place hotel that will be proposed by the Woodruff Hospitality Group. The layout includes a proposed T-Configuration walk bridge that spans the distance from the Hyatt to the Arena with a T-Connector that will enable pedestrians to choose a path to either the Evansville Arena or to The Centre. The new Hyatt Place will be proposed to face the Central Library.

This isometric view of the Hyatt Place that will be proposed by Woodruff Hospitality is taken from a point standing at roughly the present location of the Executive Inn Tower.
