“We’re excited to welcome guests to the first Hyatt Place hotel in Panama City Beach,” said Tyler Davies, general manager of Hyatt Place Panama City/Beachfront. “Our beachfront hotel puts visitors in a perfect location, steps away from the white sand and clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico, offering an uncomplicated experience in a casual atmosphere.”
The hotel is the third location to have Coconut Charlie’s, OTO’s proprietary beach restaurant concept.
