The five-story, 80,000 square foot property is comprised of 120 guestrooms, including 77 with full kitchens, a large patio with outdoor bar service, an outdoor pool, a fitness room, and an 846-square-foot meeting space. 6,000 square feet of retail space is situated adjacent to the modern extended-stay hotel. Developed by Mountain Shore Properties (MSP), a Charleston, South Carolina-based developer, and managed by OHM, Hyatt House Tallahassee Capitol – University is located in the city’s Railroad Square Art District.

MSP selected the city of Tallahassee for the new hotel because it offers a unique and dynamic mix of government, university and business interests. It is home to the Florida Legislature as well as Florida A & M University and Florida State University. At its heart is the Railroad Square Art District, a unique area within the city known for fostering art, culture, and creative small businesses. The eight acres of brightly painted historic industrial warehouses have been gradually transformed over the past four decades, beginning in the late '70s, by artistic visionary Nan Boynton, and continued under the ownership of Adam Boynton Kaye and Lily Boynton Kaye since 2002. The former lumber mill/industrial park has morphed into the workshops of artists and craftsmen and is now a hub of creative entrepreneurship.

“Mountain Shore Properties demonstrated a lot of wisdom and thoughtfulness by really going above and beyond to seamlessly integrate their hotel into the existing fabric of the art district,” said Adam Boynton Kaye, CFO, and Co-Owner, Railroad Square. “Hyatt House Tallahassee Capitol - University serves as a role model on perfecting the combination of commerce, creativity, and community.”

Greetings From the Capital City Tallahassee Florida by Kollett Hardeman.

A new exterior mural, a collaboration between Mountain Shore Properties, Railroad Square, and artist Kollet Hardeman, has just been unveiled. Called “Greetings From the Capital City Tallahassee Florida," it functions as a gateway from the Capital Cascades Greenway into Railroad Square Art District. Highlighting various unique features of both the city of Tallahassee and the art district specifically, it has already become a selfie destination for Instagrammers. The hotel will feature an outdoor sculpture by Mark Dickson, as well as artwork in the lobby and common areas by Christl Grow, Robert Saltarelli and Perdita Ross, with photography in the guest rooms by Katie Clark. 

“We could not have asked for a better fit in a developer than Mountain Shore Properties,” says Lily Kaye, co-owner of Railroad Square Art District. “They have demonstrated their commitment to the local community by incorporating colorful elements and local artwork into both the interior and exterior. Hyatt House Tallahassee at Railroad Square will offer the unique experience of exclusively showcasing local artists whose studios are at their doorstep.”

HYATT HOUSE LOCATION

Railroad Square Art District is a unique destination for art, culture, and creative small businesses in Florida’s state capital. The eight acres of brightly painted historic warehouses was transformed in the late 70's by Nan, a woman with artistic vision and business prowess, who created Railroad Square's first art gallery, the 621 Gallery. Art studios and eclectic boutiques followed as Railroad Square was gradually transformed into Tallahassee's Art District. It now welcomes thousands of visitors to its monthly First Friday Festival, under the ownership of Nan's son and daughter, Adam Kaye and Lily Kaye. 

“As the state capital and home to both Florida A& M University and Florida State University, Tallahassee is a unique destination,” says Stephen Wendell, CEO, Mountain Shore Properties, LLC. “This promises to be a great partnership with the Kaye’s as we add a rich sense of Tallahassee’s artistic character and personality throughout the property and integrate it with Railroad Square.”
