Strong Ownership and Management Collaboration Fuels Hyatt’s Brand Expansion in Key Southeastern Markets
Following the successful opening of Hyatt Studios Mobile / Tillmans Corner earlier this year, 3H Group is expanding its portfolio across Hyatt’s Essentials Portfolio, with an emphasis on markets without existing Hyatt hotels. In 2026, 3H Group plans to open a Caption by Hyatt hotel in Chattanooga, Tenn., as the market’s first Hyatt hotel. In addition, several projects are under development in key southeastern markets. 3H Group acquired Hyatt Place Tampa Airport/Westshore, which recently underwent a comprehensive renovation. The company is also in the process of building dual-brand Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels in East Nashville, Tenn, and a Hyatt Studios hotel in Jacksonville, Florida.
“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.”
3H Group is partnering with LBA Hospitality, a seasoned operator of over 115 hotels across the southeastern U.S. to manage Hyatt Studios Huntsville. 3H Group and LBA bring extensive experience in extended stay and select service management, and this collaboration helps ensure a seamless guest experience and make it positioned for a strong market debut.
“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.”
