Hyatt Hotels will unveil its newest hotel in Portland at the Oregon Convention Center on Thursday.

Officials broke ground on the 600-room Hyatt Regency in 2017 after decades of stops and starts on the plan for an anchor hotel -- part of the urban renewal plan for the area since 1989.

With its original $224 million price tag, the Lloyd District hotel was one of the largest at the time. It also included public funding – about $60 million in revenue bonds backed by lodging taxes paid by hotel guests throughout the city, $10 million in state lottery funds and $4 million from the regional government Metro, which runs the convention center.

The 14-story hotel, across the Max tracks from the convention center, is among 40 the Chicago-based chain plans to open on the West Coast by the end of 2021.

In addition to the 600 rooms, the hotel features 39,000 square feet of meeting areas, as well as a restaurant, bar and gathering areas for guests.
