Scheduling a trip to Anaheim for a conference at the Convention Center but also want to pack in a family vacation filled with fun activities to do that will meet the needs of your entire group? That’s no problem at Hyatt Place or Hyatt House in Anaheim.
Virtually the same hotels with different addresses, both locations cater to the vacationing needs of families wanting to book all of the fun activities in Anaheim like whale watching near Anaheim, a visit to California Adventure and Disneyland, and possibly a seat near the dugout at a local Dodgers game.
