Hyatt Opens Hyatt Studios Huntsville in Alabama Strengthening Extended Stay Growth Across the Southeast

Published on December 17, 2025

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has officially unveiled Hyatt Studios Huntsville, signaling another major step forward in the global hospitality company’s push into the upper-midscale extended stay segment. The opening represents the brand’s continued momentum following the debut of Hyatt Studios earlier this year and further reinforces Hyatt’s long-term strategy to serve travelers seeking flexible, residential-style accommodations in high-growth U.S. markets.

The Huntsville property deepens Hyatt’s partnership with 3H Group, a developer that has played a central role in bringing the Hyatt Studios concept to life. After successfully launching the brand’s first location in Mobile, Alabama, 3H Group has now introduced the extended stay model to one of the Southeast’s most dynamic and economically diverse cities. With its combination of technological innovation, government investment, and population growth, Huntsville offers a natural fit for a brand designed around longer stays, comfort, and functionality.

Hyatt Studios Huntsville is strategically positioned to meet the needs of professionals, relocating families, project-based workers, and leisure travelers who require more than a traditional hotel room. Located just minutes from Huntsville International Airport and close to the region’s largest employment hubs, the hotel provides easy access to Redstone Arsenal, Cummings Research Park, NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, and downtown Huntsville. This proximity places guests near the heart of the city’s aerospace, defense, and research industries while still allowing convenient access to cultural attractions and entertainment.

Beyond its business appeal, Huntsville continues to gain recognition as a lifestyle destination, and the hotel’s location allows guests to experience the city’s expanding identity. Visitors can explore the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, stroll through the Huntsville Botanical Garden, discover local creativity at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment, or enjoy the city’s growing collection of restaurants, breweries, parks, and outdoor recreation areas. Hyatt Studios Huntsville positions guests to balance work commitments with authentic local experiences.

Designed as part of Hyatt’s Essentials Portfolio, Hyatt Studios focuses on delivering simplicity, efficiency, and comfort for extended stay travelers. The Huntsville property features 120 studio-style suites that blend apartment-inspired living with the consistency and service standards associated with the Hyatt name. Each suite is purposefully laid out to support daily routines, productivity, and relaxation over longer visits.

Every studio includes a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, built-in cooktop, microwave with convection and air-fryer functionality, dishwasher, and essential cookware. These features allow guests to prepare meals with ease, creating a true home-like environment. Sleeping areas are designed for comfort and rest, while separate lounge spaces include a sofa or sleeper sofa, a multifunctional table suitable for dining or work, and generous storage to support extended stays without clutter.

Hyatt Studios Huntsville complements its in-room offerings with a comprehensive set of on-site amenities tailored to modern travelers. Guests have access to a 24-hour market for essentials, complimentary Grab ’n’ Go breakfast, high-speed fiber internet, and EV charging stations. A 24-hour fitness studio supports wellness routines, while self-service laundry facilities add convenience for longer visits. Outdoor spaces, including a patio with a firepit and grill, encourage relaxation and social connection.

The property also features an expanded Borrows Program, allowing guests to access everyday items such as blenders, board games, and supplies for children or pets. This thoughtful approach reflects Hyatt Studios’ focus on practical comfort and flexibility rather than unnecessary frills.

For small meetings, business discussions, or intimate celebrations, Hyatt Studios Huntsville offers dedicated event space designed to support local and visiting groups. The hotel’s 623-square-foot meeting room accommodates up to 15 guests and can be paired with nearby venues for larger gatherings. Personalized planning assistance and coordinated room blocks are available through the hotel team, making the property a convenient option for extended corporate stays and small-scale events.

The opening of Hyatt Studios Huntsville also highlights the strength of Hyatt’s development and operations partnerships across the Southeast. Building on the success of Hyatt Studios Mobile / Tillmans Corner, 3H Group continues to expand its footprint within Hyatt’s Essentials Portfolio, with a particular focus on markets where Hyatt brands are underrepresented or entirely new. Planned projects include a Caption by Hyatt hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee, scheduled for 2026, which will introduce the Hyatt brand to the market for the first time.

In addition to new developments, 3H Group has invested in existing Hyatt assets, including the recently renovated Hyatt Place Tampa Airport / Westshore. The company is also advancing construction on dual-brand Hyatt Place and Hyatt House properties in East Nashville, Tennessee, along with a future Hyatt Studios location in Jacksonville, Florida. These projects underscore a long-term commitment to strategic growth in high-potential southeastern markets.

Operational oversight of Hyatt Studios Huntsville is being handled by LBA Hospitality, an experienced hotel management company with a portfolio exceeding 115 properties across the southeastern United States. The collaboration between 3H Group and LBA Hospitality brings deep expertise in extended stay and select-service operations, helping ensure strong performance, consistent service delivery, and a smooth guest experience from opening day forward.

With its debut in Huntsville, Hyatt Studios continues to define its role as a modern extended stay brand built around comfort, practicality, and location-driven relevance. The property reflects Hyatt’s broader vision to meet evolving traveler needs while expanding its presence in fast-growing U.S. cities that demand flexible, high-quality accommodations.
