Hotel Figueroa, an Unbound Collection by Hyatt Brand

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today the newest addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand: downtown Los Angeles' iconic 95-year-old Hotel Figueroa—a one-of-a-kind urban oasis and award-winning boutique hotel deeply rooted in L.A. history. Currently, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand includes 27 unique hotels - located in key destinations around the world - each with its own distinct story. Hotel Figueroa is the first hotel in L.A. and the third hotel in California within The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand, joining Mar Monte in Santa Barbara, Calif., and Carmel Valley Ranch in Carmel, Calif.

Whether it is a captivating past, an exclusive location, famous architecture and design or an award-wining dining experience, each property within The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand maintains a distinct character and the freedom to be unique, while still providing guests with the World of Hyatt loyalty program and a trusted brand name and reputation.

Originally opened in 1926 by the YWCA as a safe haven for solo female travelers, the historic Hotel Figueroa, approaching its 95^th anniversary in August 2021, remains one of the only preserved treasures in downtown Los Angeles with a uniquely independent spirit authentic to the City of Angels. Embracing age-old hospitality trends, Hotel Figueroa's new chapter as part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand is one of continuing Hyatt's independent collection legacy of aligning with unique and independent properties for the sophisticated modern traveler.

Built as an exclusive women's hostel and the first of its kind to have been financed and operated by women, for women, Hotel Figueroa was the largest project of its kind in the United States at the time and a welcoming stopping place for unaccompanied female travelers. The first-ever female managing director of a hotel in the U.S. was the pioneering aviatrix Maude Bouldin, who for years championed Hotel Figueroa as a meeting place for practically every woman's club in Los Angeles, a proud legacy which is upheld in present day by the hotel's current managing director, Connie Wang.
