Seems to be a great choice.... Go Macon..... I wish a real developer would come and really do something with the Old Ramada Hotel DT... I don't think the guy who bought it is really going to do anything with it...
Brand name of hotel that’s part of big downtown Macon project is revealed
A six-story hotel planned as part of a large new development in downtown Macon will bear the Hyatt Place flag.
Hyatt Place is a brand of Chicago-based Hyatt Hotels Corp.
The 84,151-square-foot hotel is part of a proposed $50 million mixed-use downtown development — the largest in decades — called the Exchange Block Project planned on Poplar Street
The 140-room Hyatt Place hotel, which will be built at 630-678 Poplar St., is expected to have an adjacent parking garage with 350 parking spaces. It would serve the hotel and the entire new development.
Other than the hotel, it would include apartments with 120 to 140 units, retail shops and at least one restaurant.

This is great news for the city. Also the parking deck and 87 apartments on DT Walton Way are expected to break ground in August as well. They will be on the Jun 26 agenda for the planning commission. Exchange Block-Macon by brandon walker, on Flickr

This is going to be a great project...Can't wait to see the finish product. I wish the Renaissance on river mixed used project would come back to life. I saw a while back the city was getting the site clean up for development.

Me too, but I think once this project is off the ground and is proven to be successful, someone will come along and revive the Renaissance project. 2018 is shaping up to be a major year for the city, a lot of projects should wrap up or start construction.
Let's also hold up hope for the Macon DT High rise Hotel and renovation. That project seems to have gone ghost. Guy for Canada purchased the bldg. , started renovations but nothing else said. That's kinda strange!
Plans call for the construction of a mixed-use building with 87 residential lofts and about 12-16 commercial spaces, according to the commission’s staff report. A bank is expected to have a drive-thru lane off Plum Street.
The six-level parking deck would have 427 spaces and the top level will be covered with a canopy of solar panels. The deck would serve the residents of the units, onsite commercial businesses, county employees during the day, the City Auditorium and other special events parking and other public parking as space permits. The parking deck would be owned by the Macon-Bibb County Urban Development Authority.
The properties have frontage along the south side of D.T. Walton Senior Way and the northeast side of Plum Street, which are in a central business zoning district.
The multi-family units will be accessed from an interior courtyard located between the parking deck and the mixed-use building.
The total square footage of construction is 247,000 square feet
“The proposed use will increase the population density of the area, but it should not result in the overtaxing of public facilities,” the staff report said. “The proposed use should not adversely affect the property values in adjacent areas.”
Construction is proposed to begin in August with completion in fall 2018.
