The Hyatt Centric located in Charlotte, North Carolina, recently celebrated its grand opening, in the SouthPark retail and business district.
The 175-room hotel’s modern architecture and interiors, designed by Atlanta-based Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio, reflect the rich history and beautiful landscapes of the Charlotte region. The all-natural design features an earthy color palette of green, blue, and gold, interwoven with natural elements such as stone, wood, metal, and water.
Guests are greeted in the main lobby by a dark wood monumental staircase, which symbolizes a giant tree spiraling up through the space. C.M. Steel were tasked with constructing and installing the eclectic monumental staircase and once again chose to partner with Glasshape to produce and supply the ½” tempered, bent and laminated, bronze tinted glass.
Hyatt’s Centric brand celebrates the distinct identity and vibrant culture of each Hotel’s location, featuring “artistically curated” spaces that are thoughtfully designed to help guests work, relax, and play.
