Hyatt Expands Upper-Midscale Portfolio in Alabama with Hyatt Studios Huntsville Offering Home-Like Suites, Flexible Workspaces, and Business-Friendly Amenities

Published on December 18, 2025

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has officially unveiled Hyatt Studios Huntsville, marking a pivotal milestone in the expansion of its upper-midscale extended stay brand. The new property strengthens Hyatt’s ongoing collaboration with 3H Group, the same developer behind the first Hyatt Studios hotel, which debuted earlier this year in Mobile, Alabama. Hyatt Studios Huntsville introduces a contemporary approach to extended stay lodging in one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing urban hubs, offering studio-style suites designed for comfort, functionality, and modern living.

“Hyatt Studios Huntsville delivers an upper-midscale extended-stay experience that blends comfort, functionality, and modern design in a way that truly resonates with today’s business and leisure travelers,” said Jason Ballard, Global Brand Leader for Hyatt’s Essentials Portfolio. “Our collaboration with 3H Group and LBA Hospitality continues to be a driving force behind the momentum of the Hyatt Studios brand, and we’re thankful for their leadership and dedication.”

Strategic Location in Huntsville

Hyatt Studios Huntsville is ideally situated in the heart of Alabama, just minutes from key employers, major aerospace and defense hubs, and Huntsville International Airport. The hotel provides effortless access to Redstone Arsenal, Cummings Research Park, and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, while Downtown Huntsville offers a lively mix of shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. Visitors can also enjoy nearby attractions such as the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville Botanical Garden, Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment, along with a growing selection of restaurants, entertainment venues, and outdoor recreational activities.

Designed for Comfort and Extended Stays

As part of Hyatt’s Essentials Portfolio, which includes brands such as Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, Caption by Hyatt, and Unscripted by Hyatt, Hyatt Studios caters to extended stay travelers seeking a home-like environment. The Huntsville property offers 120 studio-style suites, each equipped with full kitchens featuring a refrigerator, built-in cooktop, microwave with convection and air-fryer options, dishwasher, and cookware essentials.

Each suite features a comfortable sleeping area, a lounge with a plush sofa or sleeper sofa, multifunctional tables, and ample storage—ideal for long-term stays. Guests can maintain their routines with modern amenities, including:

• 24/7 Market for snacks and essentials
• Complimentary Grab ‘n’ Go breakfast
• High-speed fiber internet
• EV charging stations
• 24/7 fitness studio
• Self-service laundry
• Outdoor patio with firepit and grill
• Expanded Borrows Program offering everyday essentials for children, pets, and home cooking

The hotel also features flexible meeting and event spaces, including a 623-square-foot meeting room accommodating up to 15 guests, with support for personalized event planning and nearby larger venues.

Hyatt’s Brand Expansion in the Southeast

Following the successful launch of Hyatt Studios Mobile / Tillmans Corner, 3H Group continues to expand its portfolio across Hyatt’s Essentials Portfolio in markets without an existing Hyatt presence. In 2026, the developer plans to introduce Caption by Hyatt in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the city’s first Hyatt hotel. Additional projects include dual-brand Hyatt Place and Hyatt House properties in East Nashville, Tennessee, and a Hyatt Studios in Jacksonville, Florida. 3H Group recently acquired Hyatt Place Tampa Airport/Westshore, which has undergone a major renovation to align with the brand’s standards.

“Developing the world’s first two Hyatt Studios hotels has only deepened our confidence in what this brand represents,” said Hiren Desai, president and CEO of 3H Group. “The Hyatt Studios brand answers a real need in the extended stay segment by offering guests a welcoming, home-like environment grounded in comfort and quality. With Hyatt’s collaboration and strong brand leadership, we’re proud to continue to grow our ownership footprint in more markets across the southeast.”

Strong Management Collaboration Ensures Seamless Guest Experience

“The expansion of the Hyatt Studios brand into Huntsville is meaningful for both our collaboration with 3H Group and for the Huntsville market,” said Beau Benton, President of LBA Hospitality. “This city continues to outpace national trends in economic development, and introducing an extended stay hotel rooted in Hyatt’s commitment to quality, care, and guest experience provides businesses and travelers with a thoughtful new option that complements Huntsville’s continued growth.”

Special Opening Offers

To celebrate its launch, Hyatt Studios Huntsville is offering 15% off standard rates for stays between December 1, 2025, and April 30, 2026, for reservations booked by January 16, 2026. As part of the World of Hyatt program, the property participates in the 500 Reasons to Stay promotion, allowing members to earn 500 Bonus Points per qualifying night through February 28, 2026.

Hyatt Studios Huntsville establishes a new benchmark for extended stay hospitality in the Southeast, combining thoughtful design, strategic location, and a host of amenities to create a home-away-from-home experience for travelers.
