Like scholars finding the break between the ancient and modern worlds, so my parents refer to the arrival of the Hyatt Regency Greenwich. This major hotel chain’s arrival in town was a mark of a few things here in Greenwich:
- That Greenwich (and Stamford) had been discovered
- That there was plenty of money for hotels to make here in town
- And that Greenwich bed and breakfast inns were no longer competing with only each other
In the intervening almost forty years, the Hyatt Regency Greenwich is an institution. Occupying the former headquarters of Conde Nast on Putnam Ave, the hotel tries to make itself into a private resort for its guests.
But, time, and the pandemic, haven’t been kind to the Hyatt Regency Greenwich. But new owners make the local community optimistic that the hotel will soon return to its former glory.
We’ll keep updating this article as the hotel adds amenities.
Quick hits:
