Hyatt announced the Caption by Hyatt brand in September 2019 and opened the first property in June 2022. Former TPG writer Cameron Sperance reviewed this Caption property in Memphis, shortly after it opened, and noted that the property was "a charming place to stay that mixes history with modern Memphis and excels spectacularly where its peers fall short."
The Caption by Hyatt brand now has six open properties. As a reminder, Caption by Hyatt is a select-service lifestyle brand that focuses on vibe and convenience and strives to foster a connection to the hotel's surrounding neighborhood. So when a guest asks for a recommendation for a coffee shop, hotel staff are encouraged to note the on-site options and also recommend their favorite local coffee shops in the local area.
Ever since reading Cameron's review, I've had the Caption by Hyatt brand on my list to try out. After all, the combination of colorful rooms, communal areas and wallet-friendly rates sounded like a good fit for me. Luckily, my chance finally came during a recent stay in Australia, where the Caption by Hyatt Sydney Central just opened in October 2025.
