A brand new 132-room Hyatt Place hotel is planned for The Summit in South Reno. 

Developers plan to break ground on the 1.58-acre site sometime this spring.

The hotel will be located between the Jared Galleria of Jewelry store and Century Summit Sierra movie theater.

“I’ve worked with the Hyatt brand for over 30 years, most notably as the General Manager of Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe in Incline Village as well as Hyatt Regency La Jolla in San Diego,” Pelzer Hospitality CEO Steve Pelzer said. “The Summit is the perfect location for a Hyatt Place hotel, and I look forward to being a part of its development from the ground up.”

“Alongside our partners, Tolles Development saw a need for an elevated hospitality experience for today’s forward-thinking travelers making a trip to Reno-Tahoe,” said Par Tolles, CEO of Tolles Development Company. “As Reno’s travel needs are diversifying and expanding, we are providing a state-of-the-art product that can meet both the business and leisure traveler at the top shopping and entertainment destination in the city”.

Other development partners include Bayer Properties, Azul Hospitality, Reno Engineering and DLW Architects.

The Summit opened in March 2006.
