Key West Hyatt Centric: World Class Amenities

by Linda Y. Walters

The Hyatt Centric Key West Resort & Spa offers a dynamic experience with world class amenities and lovely ocean views.

Your visit will be an experience you won't soon forget.  Sensory illumination is in full effect as the world class amenities at this luxurious hotel offer you a full palate during your stay.  

Fabulous dining at the Shor American Seafood Grill overlooking the water, cocktails at the fabulous Blue Mojito waterside bar, a full menu of relaxing  treatments at Jala, their newly renovated spa, or an exhiliariting  poolside experience as you enjoy  the warmth of fire pits after an evening swim.  

All of these tie in to make your visit a memorable one.

The recently refurbished and rebranded Hyatt Centric includes 120 ocean view rooms, a fully outfitted (state of the art) audio/visual enhanced conference room for corporate meetings and an additional 2,200 meeting room for use in all types of private events.  

With the hotel's prime water front location, weddings are frequently held here, with the reception often scheduled to take full advantage of the majestic Gulf Coast sunset view.

This Key West treasure is designed by Hyatt to be unique, and to fit into the community in which it is located. 

"Hyatt Centric", which is a branded subdivision of Hyatt Hotels, focuses on and utilizes the specifics of its locatIon and all its inherent components," stated Braedan Quigley,  Hyatt Sales & Marketing Director at Hyatts of the Caribbean.
​
He continued,  "In Key West, for example, we focused on Cuban coffee, Ernest Hemingway's influences, and Tenessee Williams' drink specialties, in giving this location its higher demand and visibility". 

The Hyatt Centric Key West offers extremely spacious bedrooms, each with a water view from your own private balcony. A sumptuous bathroom, with a generous sized shower, and the added luxury of your choice of operation including rain shower or hand held, in many ways is mindful of a spa experience minus the massage. Add the fragrant lotions and scents, and, of course, the relaxing effects of simply letting your thoughts slow down,  and firmly reconnect with your inner calm.

Which brings me to the Hyatt Centric's Jala Spa, a wonderfully energizing, yet relaxing experience which includes a full array of spa services. Whether its the island coconut milk and honey ritual, designed to nourish, hydrate, tighten and strengthen the skin, an after sun rescue wrap complete with fragrant Tropical Nut Oil; or the seaside renewal which offers a full Swedish massage, you will leave Jala Spa feeling as if you may have just become another person.  ​

Couples massages, called "duets", are available as well and can include full body signature massage, hot oil scalp massage , or the extremely rejuvenating footscrub. 

Jala, which means "water" in Sanskrit, is really all about getting you in touch with your essential life.   Explore the delightful experience of relaxation.  You owe it to yourself to slow down even if it's only for one hour.

If you're in the mood for an afternoon cocktail, or Happy Hour libations, visit the Blue Mojito Bar and Grill.

The bar sits poolside, looking over the ocean. Try a refreshing Key West Lemonade, the Key Lime Martini or sample the Prickly Pear Margarita.  

There's no shortage of imagination or deliciousness on the menu. Frozen drinks are also available and you can order from the Mojiti poolside menu which includes a great selection of salads and finger foods.

For breakfast, lunch or dinner, Shor American Seafood Grill is on property and does an amazing job of delivering five star cuisine.

The eclectic menu offers a wide array of internationally represented flavors with several choices of fresh catch, local favorites and delicately prepared side dishes you won't soon forget.  ​

Breakfast offerings include delicious smoked salmon served on pumpernickel break with egg white, cream cheese and capers which took the dish to another level in its delivery of flavor.   The Cajun Omelet was amazing and included Andouille sausage, bacon, peppers, Monterey Jack Cheese as well as several requisite Cajun spices.  The menu also included the ever popular Fried Chicken and Waffles, an Island  Breakfast Ceviche, Eggs Benedict and even a healthy Warm Tropical Fruit Quinoa.  Freshly squeezed orange juice, good, strong Cuban coffee and an assortment of teas are also available.   Lunch is available as well and includes great soups, salads sandwiches with a local flare and seafood choices as well.

The dinner menu at SHOR is nothing short of spectacular. Appetizers include everything from Charred Baby Octopus, Key West Seafood Hot Pot, Bacon Wrapped Pork Belly and/or Calamari Fries. Or choose from the  Angus Prime Steak, Orange Mojo Gulf Stream Mahi Mahi, Key West Ale Braised Short Ribs, or Pan Seared Local Catch of the Day. Much of the seafood served at this distinctive dining establishment has been caught locally and is done so on a daily basis. The freshness is evident.

​With an idyllic location in Old Town Key West, Hyatt Centric Key West Resort & Spa offers access to prime sites for relaxation and rejuvenation. Get out on the water, lounge on the beach, or meander through the streets of Old Town as you marvel at the historical architecture. Whether your passion is golf, snorkeling, or spa treatments, you’ll find that you can experience it all from our Key West resort, leaving you refreshed when the time comes to journey home.
