Hyatt opens first Hyatt Studios hotel

Hyatt Hotels Corporation marked the grand opening of its first-ever Hyatt Studios hotel, Hyatt Studios Mobile / Tillmans Corner in Mobile, AL, by welcoming local officials, Hyatt leaders, hotel owners and operators, customers and community members.

The hotel, which had a soft opening in February, was developed and is franchised by 3H Group and managed by LBA Hospitality.

“The grand opening of Hyatt Studios Mobile / Tillmans Corner marks an exciting milestone as we continue to expand our offerings to meet the growing demand for extended-stay accommodations,” said Dan Hansen, global head, Hyatt Studios. “This is just the beginning for the Hyatt Studios brand as the brand demonstrates enthusiasm among hotel owners and developers for this brand. We’re proud to celebrate the grand opening with 3H Group and LBA Hospitality, whose dedication has brought the Hyatt Studios vision to life.”

Located in Tillmans Corner, less than 10 miles from Mobile International Airport, the hotel offers access to downtown Mobile, Gulf Coast attractions and nearby corporate offices. Local landmarks include the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, GulfQuest National Maritime Museum, Bellingrath Gardens and the Mobile Carnival Museum.

The new hotel features 122 studio, apartment-style suites, each with a kitchen, which includes a full-size refrigerator, built-in cooktop, microwave with air fryer and convection-oven capabilities, dishwasher and essential cookware. Each suite includes a sleeping area, along with a separate lounge area featuring a plush sofa or sleeper sofa, a multifunctional table and ample storage space.

Amenities include a 24/7 Market, a Free Grab ‘n’ Go Breakfast and a 24-hour Fitness Studio, as well as self-service laundry, an outdoor patio with a firepit and grill and an expanded Borrows Program, where guests can borrow everyday essentials like blenders, board games and items for kids and pets. The Hyatt Studios brand offers free fiber internet and makes EV charging stations a signature feature across all properties.

3H Group is also advancing its next Hyatt Studios projects in Huntsville, AL, and Jacksonville, FL. Expanding its portfolio across Hyatt’s Essentials portfolio, the company continues to grow with additional Hyatt developments, including a Caption by Hyatt hotel in Chattanooga, TN, set to open in 2026 as the market’s first Hyatt hotel; the recent acquisition of Hyatt Place Tampa Airport/Westshore, which will undergo a comprehensive renovation; and a new-construction, dual-brand Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels in East Nashville, TN.

“As the first developer to break ground on a Hyatt Studios hotel and now the first to open one, we’ve seen firsthand how this brand fills a critical gap in the extended-stay space,” said Hiren Desai, president/CEO, 3H Group. “The Hyatt Studios brand offers a smart, efficient design and a flexible operating model that resonates with both guests and owners. The brand’s focus on quality extended-stay experiences, paired with Hyatt’s strong support and reputation, made it a compelling investment for us, and we’re excited to continue growing with additional Hyatt Studios projects in the future.”
