HYATT REGENCY BIRMINGHAM - THE WYNFREY HOTEL CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY

WINS PRESTIGIOUS CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE AWARD


BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 6, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One of the South's iconic luxury destination hotels, the Hyatt Regency Birmingham – The Wynfrey Hotel, celebrates its 30th anniversary as the proud recipient of the prestigious 2016 TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence industry award. Presented only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveler reviews on TripAdvisor, the highly-desired Certificate of Excellent award represents the upper echelon of businesses listed on TripAdvisor, with only the top 10 percent receiving this esteemed award.

The Certificate of Excellence award perpetuates www.wynfrey.regency.hyatt.com legacy for 30 years as one of the Southeast's luxury hotels-a much-loved Alabama belle, symbolizing charming old-world style hospitality, and after a dramatic $20 million rejuvenation, uncompromising graceful living within elegant, upscale decor.

Whether for business, sports, shopping or a wedding, this chic hotel features 329 guestrooms and six over-sized luxury suites restyled for the most discerning traveler who expects the best, and is delivered with upscale state-of-the-art amenities.

The Hyatt brand is famously respected for listening to its clients and fulfilling their requests. KenetMD™ bath products were added after conducting the largest guest-listening exercise in the history of the Hyatt brand. The addition of the Kenet skincare line as a room amenity created such a sensation that Huffington Post included Hyatt Regency to its list of the Top 10 Hotels with the Best Bath and Beauty Products.

Through a unique partnership with Riverchase Country Club, one of the Southeast's most élite country clubs, is proud to offer guests special access to this challenging, private golf course. And, Oxmoor Valley and Ross Bridge championship-caliber courses, part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, are also nearby.

Serving traditional Southern family recipes, Merk's Tavern and Kitchen is a new, fun and friendly casual dining experience. It's a great place to catch up with friends or watch sporting events on 82" LCD TVs.
