Best for couples or solo business travelers: Room, 1 King Bed / Room, 1 King Bed (High Floor)
If you prefer a single king bed and a quieter high-floor perspective, choose Room, 1 King Bed or the Room, 1 King Bed (High Floor) when available. High-floor rooms can offer better city sightlines and slightly less street noise.
Both room types include standard Hyatt Centric amenities such as complimentary Wi‑Fi and in-room work surfaces; if you’re traveling for work, request a room with the desk visible at booking or check-in.

Best for families and groups: Room, 2 Queen Beds and Room, 2 Queen Beds (High Floor)
Families and small groups will find the Room, 2 Queen Beds (and the high-floor variant) the most practical non-suite option. Two queens let four people sleep comfortably without needing a rollaway.
If you need a sleeper sofa, consider one of the suites (see the suites section) that list a Double Sofa Bed as part of their sleeping configuration.
- Room, 2 Queen Beds: 2 Queen Beds; good for 3–4 guests
- Room, 2 Queen Beds (High Floor): same bedding on a higher floor

Best suites for space and views: Suite, Corner; Executive Suite; Presidential Suite
If you want separate living space, the Suite, Corner and the Executive Suite (including the Executive Suite, with Sofa bed) give a living area plus a bedroom — useful for families, longer stays, or work that requires more room. Suites list a Double Sofa Bed when indicated.
For the largest private layout and an outdoor option, the Presidential Suite has a private balcony and dedicated living spaces. Expect more square footage and higher rates; specific square-footage and prices should be confirmed at booking.
