Interesting design, unusual layout, and wonderful contemporary guest rooms mark this as one of the city’s best hotels, and — depending on the day — certainly a winner when it comes to value. The lobby bears a faint resemblance to a Hindu temple, with mirrored panels and vaulted ceilings over rug-covered marble floors; accommodations have parquet wood floors and queen-size beds with lovely white duvets and thick mattresses. Pool-facing rooms are often only $20 more and are a much better size, while the “bay rooms” are even larger and not only have sleek designer furniture, but also gorgeous bathrooms with glass basins, large walk-in showers, and tubs. Hyatt Regency features the city’s most authentic Italian restaurant (don’t miss the pizzas here) and the famous Djinns pub. Expect fabulous service in all departments.
