Hyatt Place Harrisonburg will be the first new select-service hotel in the area in several years, and will feature 120 guestrooms, 3,000 square feet of meeting space, ample outdoor seating and 80 seats in the indoor/outdoor panoramic rooftop bar that promises to become a dynamic gathering space for the city.
