“We are very proud to be a LEED-certified hotel,” said Bob Ray, owner of Southern States Management. “We strive to provide a quality product while minimizing the impact on our environment, and by following LEED standards, we are able to do just that. We look forward to the opportunity to exhibit our beautiful property, while entertaining local business leaders and guests on Earth Day.”
In addition to the environmental aspects of the hotel, Hyatt Place Raleigh-West offers business and leisure travelers alike an excellent location in a growing part of the Triangle, and is just minutes from PNC Arena, State Fairgrounds, downtown Raleigh, RDU Airport, and Interstate 40. The hotel also boasts a combined 5,400 square feet of high-tech, flexible pre-function and meeting space; complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel; the 24/7 Gallery Menu & Market; the Coffee to Cocktails Bar; and many other stunning features.
