Harvey, Hanna & Associates, Inc. (HHA) announced today the development of two new Hyatt branded hotels located in Lewes, Delaware and Kent Narrows, Maryland.
Hyatt House in Lewes, DE recently broke ground near the intersection of northbound Highway 1 and Marsh Road – south of Five Points. The new 105 room extended stay contemporary hotel will be the first of its kind in Delaware and will feature all suite rooms with kitchenettes, fitness room, dining/bar area, meeting rooms, regulation indoor lap pool, and outdoor common area featuring firepits and gas grills. The Hyatt House is well-positioned to accommodate patrons related to the expanding healthcare systems in Sussex County; the University of Delaware College of Earth, Ocean, and the Environment; and of course, long term stay guests and resort beach visitors.
The Hyatt House will be the second Hyatt branded hotel located in Coastal Sussex, joining the HHA developed Hyatt Place Hotel in Dewey Beach. Bancroft Construction (Wilmington, DE) will serve as the general contractor for the hotel. WSFS Bank provided the construction financing for the project. Hyatt House Lewes is currently scheduled for a Summer 2021 opening.
