Today, Reno’s newest hotel, the Hyatt Place South Reno, officially opened its doors to deliver a unique blend of style and upscale services for visitors seeking adventure, families looking for fun and business travelers who want an elevated hospitality experience. The hotel was developed by Tolles and Pelzer Hospitality, in partnership with Azul Hospitality of San Diego and Hyatt.
The 132-room hotel is ideally located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, just 14 miles from both Mt. Rose Ski Resort and Virginia City, two must-visit tourist destinations. The hotel developers expect strong demand from ski and adventure-focused visitors who want easy access to skiing without having to navigate the challenges of staying within the Tahoe Basin.
“We designed this hotel to meet the specific needs of visitors who come to Reno Tahoe to experience the adventure of skiing, mountain biking, hiking and other outdoor sports, as well as for families and business travelers who want easy access to Tahoe, Reno and Carson City,” said Par Tolles, CEO of Tolles. “Beyond being a go-to hotel for skiers in the winter and hikers and bikers in the summer, we are providing a state-of-the-art product that can meet both the business and family traveler year-round.”
In addition to easy access to Tahoe, Hyatt Place South Reno is minutes from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport and just steps away from the Shayden Summit Mall, the region’s premier shopping and entertainment destination, which has recently announced exciting new additions including Dave & Buster’s and Trader Joe’s, to complement expansive shopping, dining and entertainment options.
“I’ve been in the hotel and hospitality business for most of my life and I’ve never been more excited to launch a property,” said Steve Pelzer, CEO of Pelzer Hospitality. “We’re the closest hotel in Reno to the state capital, Carson City, and expect to be very attractive to the increasing number of business leaders and entrepreneurs pursuing business in Nevada.”
The interior aesthetic of the property is inspired by the partnership between Jacob Davis, a Reno tailor, and Levi Strauss, whose partnership and shared patent in 1873 led to the creation of the iconic ‘blue jeans’ known around the world. Original materials from the patent are on display in the Hyatt Place South Reno’s business center. The beauty and modern design of the property are matched by the functional amenities available to guests, including:
- Expansive heated outdoor covered pool
- 24/7 fitness center
- 24/7 business center
- Outdoor patio & terrace with fire pits
- Golf club and ski equipment storage
- The Placery Restaurant with a curated menu with daily specials, local beer & alcohol selection
- Complimentary breakfast
- 24/7 late night menu
All rooms in the hotel feature mountain views; the hotel offers elevated & premium one-bedroom suites with kitchenettes.
“We’re confident that the Hyatt Place South Reno will become a fixture of the hospitality industry for both visitors and the local business community as northern Nevada and south Reno continue to grow,” said Danny Diefenthaler, general manager of the Hyatt Place South Reno. “Our outdoor patios and versatile event spaces are ideal for upscale, intimate events with a beautiful mountain vista.”
The property features numerous flexible event options ideal for corporate and special events, happy hours, receptions and more. The outdoor patio is a modern open space that is 640 sq. ft. with state-of-the-art fire pits. The Zephyr Room can be combined for a grand space of 1,195 sq. ft. and the Silver Dollar Board Room provides 761 sq. ft. of formal space and offers multiple configuration options.
