A Hyatt House extended stay hotel is planned for Royal Oak, to be built at the Woodward Corners development by Beaumont.

Construction is expected to begin in May on the five-story hotel and it's expected to open in June 2021. .

Plans are to have 128-apartment style rooms in the 77,824-square-foot hotel next door to Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak, which will be able to cater to patients and their families, as well as business travelers, said Beaumont Health COO Carolyn Wilson.

The hotel is the last major piece of Beaumont's Woodward Corners development on Woodward at 13 Mile in Royal Oak.

Several businesses have recently opened, including the eagerly anticipated Woodward Corner market by Meijer.

“We wanted to be absolutely sure we had the right tenants and the right mix,” Wilson said. “And so we erred on the side of more time to make sure it was right. Now I see everything opening we have phenomenal brands and the right mix of services.

“The hotel finishes it off for us," Wilson said. "The hotel is the last place I have space for because we did not want it to be dense. We want walkability, we want great sight lines and we want it to be welcoming."

Pat Paruch, Royal Oak mayor pro tem, said the hotel is a fabulous addition to the community.

“It will be a tremendous asset to the hospital because it will give patients and their families a good respite location right there, next to the hospital. Beaumont draws its clients from a wide range of areas and to have a hotel close by where they can stay, rest and relax … and to have all the other facilities in this area. Shopping or restaurants or fitness facilities, it’s a fabulous addition."

According to Hyatt, there are nearly 100 Hyatt Houses around the world offering residential-style settings for extended stays with extended-stay rates for guests who stay for more than 21 days. This is the first Hyatt House Hotel in Michigan.

Woodward Corners is a 117,000-square-foot development that features a mix of business and restaurants. There's F45 Training fitness, Grabbagreen, New Order Coffee and Wahlburgers. Bucharest Grill, famous for its shawarma, is expected to open in the spring.
