Hyatt Hotel Corporation is set to launch a new hotel concept, and Memphis is going to be its first home. Later this summer, the Caption by Hyatt will be the first of its kind when it opens its doors to Memphis as part of the One Beale development at 245 South Front Street.
The 136-room hotel on Beale and Front Streets will be integrated into the William C. Ellis & Sons Ironworks and Machine Shop facade. The Caption by Hyatt concept is designed to be reflective of its host cities, and will look to include local flavors and experiences unique to Memphis.
“The Caption by Hyatt Beale Street Memphis is a first-of-its-kind property that will offer conscientious travelers a true Memphian lifestyle experience,” said Sarah Titus, area general manager, Caption by Hyatt Beale Street Memphis. “With memorable encounters that celebrate the sounds and lifestyle of Beale Street, we are proud to share with visitors and neighbors a taste of all the local culture and cuisine there is to savor.”
A big feature of the Caption by Hyatt is the remixed lobby design known as the Talk Shop, which will also act as a workplace and lounge for guests and locals. The large lounge area gives way to an expansive outdoor patio and beer garden replete with fire pits and exposed brick. Dining options include an all-day menu featuring a variety of local recipes, the Hearth Bar, which serves “freshly baked breads and tasty spreads,” and a locally sourced grab-and-go bar. The hotel will partner with local vendors such as Grit Girl Grits, Bluff City Mushrooms, Joyce Chicken, Home Place Pastures Pork, and Grind City Brewing.
Reservations for the Caption by Hyatt Hotel Beale Street will be open for stays starting July 1st, 2022.
