Two New Hyatt Properties Opening on Mississippi River
The new hotels will provide guests access to bald eagle watching, the Figge Art Museum and the John Deere Pavilion.
EAST MOLINE, IL—Situated along the Mississippi River in East Moline, IL, Hyatt Place East Moline/Quad Cities and Hyatt House East/Moline Quad Cities are expected to open in December 2018. The twin nine-story hotels will offer upscale comforts for both leisure and business travelers, a ninth-floor lounge with panoramic river views, as well as access to miles of unobstructed riverfront and a bald eagle habitat.
The Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels anchor The Bend, a master-planned mixed-use development that brings retail, lodging, restaurants, apartments, offices, and other amenities to a 132-acre site. With three acres of greenspace, including a mile of waterfront along the river and miles of river pathways along the Great River Trail, business and leisure travelers can enjoy immediate access to the nature and beauty of the Mississippi River. Additionally, the hotels will provide a prime spot for viewing the impressive display of bald eagles wintering in their natural riverside habitat from December through March.
Managed by Olympia Hotel Management, the new Hyatt Place and Hyatt House properties are expected to bring much-needed upscale lodging accommodations to the area.
Business and leisure guests will have a choice of two different hotel experiences under one roof: a 134-room Hyatt Place hotel for nightly stays and a 99-room Hyatt House hotel with apartment-style guestrooms that will offer more space and kitchenettes for extended stays. Guests will be able to choose the right setting for their needs—whether that’s a quick business trip, vacation, a work relocation, or a long-term corporate project. The layout of the dual-branded hotels will offer a large, single lobby serving both Hyatt Place and Hyatt House guests.
Located just 15 minutes from the Quad City International Airport, the hotels will provide easy access to nearby corporate and educational facilities, including Deere & Company World Headquarters, KONE, Alcoa, The Sedona Group, Von Maur, Rock Island Arsenal, Augustana College, and Western Illinois University.
For leisure guests, area attractions include the exhibits at the John Deere Pavilion, the Figge Art Museum and concerts at the TaxSlayer Center.
The Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels will offer guestrooms with flexible work spaces and relaxation areas, and every room will feature a view of the Mississippi River.
