Azul Hospitality adds Hyatt Place South Reno to portfolio

Hospitality management company Azul Hospitality has added the newly constructed Hyatt Place South Reno in Reno, NV, to its portfolio of managed assets. Tolles, a developer/owner/manager of industrial, office, retail and hospitality properties in the Western U.S., developed the property in conjunction with Pelzer Hospitality.

The 132-key hotel offers panoramic mountain views from every guestroom, along with a 24-hour fitness center, 24-hour business center, outdoor patio and terrace with fire pits, heated outdoor enclosed pool, golf club, ski equipment storage, complimentary breakfast and The Placery Restaurant.

“We designed this hotel to meet the specific needs of visitors who come to Reno-Tahoe to experience the adventure of skiing, mountain biking, hiking and other outdoor sports, as well as for families and business travelers who want easy access to Tahoe, Reno and Carson City,” said Par Tolles, CEO, Tolles. “Beyond being a go-to hotel for skiers in the winter and hikers and bikers in the summer, we are providing a state-of-the-art product that can meet both the business and family traveler year-round.”

Mark Crisci, president, Azul Hospitality Group, said, “Opening the Hyatt Place South Reno is an exciting achievement for us at Azul Hospitality, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the outstanding collaboration with Tolles and Pelzer Hospitality. Their partnership and shared vision have been key to creating a hotel that offers comfort and convenience, with easy access to Reno’s best attractions and outdoor adventures. We look forward to welcoming guests to this exceptional property at the gateway to the Sierra Nevada.”

The property is located at the base of Mount Rose. It is Reno’s closest hotel to Lake Tahoe and the southernmost hotel in Reno. The property is 15 minutes from Virginia City, Carson City and Reno-Tahoe International Airport, 20 minutes from skiing at Mount Rose, 40 minutes from Tahoe’s shore and just outside of the Shayden Summit Mall.

“I’ve been in the hotel and hospitality business for most of my life, and I’ve never been more excited to launch a property,” said Steve Pelzer, CEO, Pelzer Hospitality. “We’re the closest hotel in Reno to the state capital, Carson City, and expect to be very attractive to the increasing number of business leaders and entrepreneurs pursuing business in Nevada.”
