Hyatt Place Tijuana

Hyatt Place Tijuana is a 145-room hotel on Bulevar Agua Caliente, in Colonia Aviación, near the Zona Río business district and Estadio Caliente. Hyatt announced its opening in early 2015 as the fourth Hyatt Place in Mexico, Multi-Housing News reported at the time, describing a seven-story, upscale select-service hotel. Its location also makes it a practical base for Xolos match weekends and shows on the stadium esplanade.

What’s there

Hyatt’s page for the hotel lists free breakfast every day at the Breakfast Bar, free self-parking, free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, a restaurant with in-room dining, two flexible event spaces with catering and audiovisual services, digital check-in and electric-vehicle charging, and its photos show the Gallery Bar. Expedia’s listing adds detail: breakfast is a buffet from 6 to 9 a.m. on weekdays and 7 to 10 a.m. on weekends, the gym is open 24 hours, and it lists the Gallery Menu, which serves light fare, and the Gallery Market among its on-site options. When the hotel opened, Hyatt described rooms with a work area, a separate sleeping area and a 42-inch swivel TV, plus a Coffee to Cocktails bar, according to Multi-Housing News.

What to expect

This is a city hotel, not a resort. Atly’s listing says there’s no pool, and Expedia doesn’t list one either. Reviews summarized by Atly mention underground parking that is guarded around the clock. Pets aren’t allowed, per Expedia, which lists English, Spanish and Korean among the languages spoken. The meeting rooms, business services and digital check-in point to its business-travel focus; for a bigger full-service stay on the same boulevard, compare the Grand Hotel Tijuana and the Tijuana Marriott.

Prices and booking

Hyatt doesn’t publish a standard rate, and prices change by date, so check the hotel’s page or a booking site. Check-in starts at 3 p.m. and check-out is before noon, and guests must be 18 to check in, according to Expedia. Breakfast, parking and Wi-Fi are included, according to Hyatt.

Getting there

The hotel is at Blvd. Agua Caliente 10488, Col. Aviación. Expedia puts it about 3 miles (4.8 km) from the San Ysidro crossing and a 17-minute drive from Tijuana’s airport. At the opening, Multi-Housing News placed it near the Agua Caliente racetrack and casino, Estadio Caliente and the Club Campestre Tijuana country club. Hyatt’s page lists Georgina about 1.7 miles away and Avenida Revolución about 1.9 miles away. Taxis and ride-hail are the easy way to get around.
