Hyatt Hotels unveils The Shay in Southern California

Hyatt Hotels Corporation opened The Shay, a Destination by Hyatt hotel and the brand’s first urban hotel in Southern California, Los Angeles. The destination-defining property is a central hub for creative camaraderie. Features include loft-like 148 contemporary rooms and suites for accommodations with luxurious amenities, a sprawling campus with inspiring indoor-outdoor spaces to connect and collaborate during meetings, weddings and events, and an array of community partners that seamlessly blend both guests’ and locals’ experiences.

“The Shay is the first hotel in Culver City to celebrate the area’s growing creative community while fully embracing its rich history. As an anchor to the Arts District, which encompasses art galleries, coffee bars, trending fitness studios and the re-imagined landmark Helms Bakery building with designer boutiques and speciality restaurants, The Shay offers guests a distinct sense of place that honours old and new,” said Ryan Parker, General Manager, The Shay.

The hotel plays host to two onsite culinary concepts by Michelin-starred chef Danny Grant’s What If Syndicate group, including Etta, a wood-fired eatery with indoor-outdoor seating on the ground floor, and Celestina, a Mexican-inspired restaurant and cocktail bar on the roof deck. The Shay boasts Culver City’s curated rooftop pool experience, offering pop-up events including music shows, comedy sets and yoga classes.

Each meeting space nods to the destination with Culver City-inspired names like the Ivy Ballroom, Helms and Hayden Meeting Rooms and Blackwelder Boardroom. “We took a charismatic approach to meeting spaces that bring the spirit of Culver City to the experience. There’s nothing boring about our boardroom!” shared Parker.
