The new �Cyber Café� � a prototype for the hospitality industry � is just one of the ways Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh is moving at the speed of technology to enhance guest services and amenities. Hyatt is the only hotel in the Pittsburgh area and one of few in the nation to have on-site video conferencing equipment, allowing meeting and convention guests to link to speakers across the globe.
 

�Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh has broken new ground from the beginning, opening June 29, 2000, as the only hotel connected to Pittsburgh International Airport via moving walkway,� said Jean-Marc Dizard, General Manager. �We are only a year old, but are taking steps to provide our guests with cutting-edge technology that will enhance their visit.�   The Cyber Café is a group of high-boy style

�I travel far and wide. No other hotel offers services similar to the Cyber Café,� said Martin Kwitschau, Chief Executive Officer of Hospitality Partners, owner of Audiovisual Techniques, which oversees on-site technology services at the hotel. 

�Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh is the prototype for the industry. I�m looking toward the future when guests will be able to walk outside a meeting room anywhere in the world and find high-speed Internet access just as they would a telephone. For now, Hyatt is the only hotel to offer it,� Mr. Kwitschau added.

Nothing has more impact than adding the visual medium to the spoken word. Hyatt is ready to facilitate one-on-one conversations or multi-city video conferences for hotel guests or air travelers on layover. Other hotels may offer video conferencing, but few have equipment and connections available on site that can be linked anywhere in the world with less than 15 minutes notice. �We�ve already put the lines in and bought the equipment. It�s ready to go,� Mr. Kwitschau said. 

Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh is located at 1111 Airport Boulevard, Pittsburgh, Pa. 

There are 203 Hyatt hotels and resorts around the world. Hyatt Hotels Corporation operates 122 hotels and resorts in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. Hyatt International, through its subsidiaries, operates 81 hotels and resorts in 38 countries in the U.S.
