Hyatt Studios Mobile / Tillmans Corner Ribbon Cutting
"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 of 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 convenient access to downtown Mobile, Gulf Coast attractions, and nearby corporate offices. Guests can explore local landmarks like the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, GulfQuest National Maritime Museum, Bellingrath Gardens, and the Mobile Carnival Museum. In addition to the city’s tourism appeal, Mobile’s diverse industries in manufacturing, aerospace, maritime and healthcare contribute to the city’s attractiveness, making it an ideal fit for the Hyatt Studios brand.
