The Hyatt Centric Center City Philadelphia was designed to evoke the regions rich heritage. Public areas feature industrial materials such as exposed concrete and blackened steel, alongside details such as stitched leather and wood paneled walls that unify the craft traditions of woodworking, metalsmithing, and leatherworking, mainstays of the cultures that shaped Philadelphia. The clean lines of the grand staircase, spanning two floors, harmonize with distinctive features in the lobby and restaurant; suspended wood spindles, custom black cage lights and an art installation behind the reception desk each make reference to Pennsylvania’s unique culture and topography.
