Plans have been filed for new Hyatt Hotel in Paso Robles. The project is a new four story, 116-room hotel on a 2.03 acre property. The hotel would total 69,821 sf and is 65 ft tall at its highest point. Located near Hwy 46 on Theatre Drive off 101, the site is currently developed with the single story, 22-room River Lodge Motel with a gazebo and pool area, and associated parking. Prior to construction, the existing building and associated structures would be demolished and removed.
A proposed entry drive would provide access from the grand entry onto the site from Alexa Court. A secondary entry drive would provide access to the site from Theatre Dr. In later phases of the project, the temporary driveway would be abandoned for more parking. Contingent upon implementation of the proposed entry drive location, the project proposes between 128 to 130 parking spaces. Proposed site improvements include a pool, spa, variation of seating types and areas, fire pit, and rear patio.
Besides new hotels off Hwy 41 east – plans are in the works for a 2.4-acre lot at Pine and Ninth Streets in Paso Robles – the former Hayward Lumber yard – for a 120-room hotel
