For the second year in a row, Hyatt Place nabs the title for best hotel in Champaign. It may have something to do with the numerous amenities the Hyatt has to offer, as well as its unbeatable location — the heart of Downtown Champaign.

You will never run out of things to do during your stay at the Hyatt. There are plenty of restaurants just across the street from the hotel like Destihl, Guido’s and Big Grove Tavern, and right down the street is Hamilton Walker’s. Just a five-minute walk away is the famous Black Dog Smoke and Ale House, and if you’re looking for a quieter, cozy spot to get some work done during your stay, you can take a quick walk over to Café Kopi. Once you’ve had enough to eat you can head over to Orpheum Children’s Science Museum or the Art Theater, both just a couple minutes away from the Hyatt.

The Champaign-Urbana is also a short walk away, so it’s really easy to get to and from the Hyatt if you’re coming to Champaign via Amtrak.

The Hyatt itself also offers plenty of things to do if you aren’t in the mood for going out or simply just want to relax. You can take a dip in the Hyatt’s indoor pool or get active in the gym, open 24/7. Something else that’s really unique about The Hyatt is it is pet-friendly and will gladly welcome your dog(s) if you call them ahead of time. No more worrying about or missing your pets while you’re gone!

Hyatt Place is the total package. Not only does it offer a luxurious lodging experience, but guests who stay at the Hyatt Place can easily explore Downtown Champaign without having to worry too much about how to get back to the hotel at the end of a fun-filled night.
