Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Hyatt House. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.
Hyatt House wants to bring communities together and encourage travelers to make “our neighborhood yours for a while.” They are an upscale extended stay hotel brand who wants guests to feel more like ‘residents’ so they feel part of the local neighborhood from the moment they arrive.
To launch their new campaign they are celebrating “National Good Neighbor Day” starting this week at select Hyatt House hotels across the country by serving up complimentary taste of the neighborhood to their guests! Each event will shine a spotlight on one of the makers featured in the Neighborhood Guide at the hotel’s H BAR, a place for residents to gather and enjoy the comforts of home.
All 58 Hyatt House locations are offering experiences personally recommended by Martha Steward Living Omnimedia, Inc. as part of the “Martha Stewart American Made” program, which celebrates local American makers.
The guides feature small businesses and the best places to Eat, Shop and Visit, from delicious pastries and homemade ice cream to neighborhood bookstores and vintage shops. Local makers selected for the Neighborhood Guides are just minutes away from Hyatt House hotels, and with complimentary Hyatt House shuttles at most hotel locations, residents can explore the neighborhood with ease. For example, the Hyatt House near me has recommendations like The White Chocolate Grill, Naperville General Store and Naperville Riverwalk.
Here is what one of the guides looks like:
