The Hyatt brand is returning to Edmonton’s downtown, as the hotel chain will occupy the space of the former Enbridge Tower.

In September, the Hyatt Place branding was pulled from a hotel at 9576 Jasper Ave. in the Quarters district. The decision came after it was discovered nine rooftop HVAC units were drawing fresh air from an area that was heavily contaminated by pigeons and their feces.

On Wednesday, Paul Aulakh, president of Lighthouse Hospitality Inc. which purchased the former Enbridge Tower building, confirmed the Hyatt will occupy the 23-storey tower at the corner of Jasper Avenue and 102 Street, known for its peaked roof.

The Hyatt will run two separate hotel branches under its brand: a continental short-term stay through Hyatt Place and long-term stays through Hyatt House.

The hotel is expected to have about 300 rooms and amenities such as a health and wellness spa, fitness facility, business centre, conference and banquet facilities, secured underground parking and eateries.
