Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 16, 2012
Almost all Americans agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day; but many skip it and nearly 50 percent are exhausted or ?hangry? (hungry and angry) when they do. Hyatt Place understands how important a good breakfast is to any great morning and day, which is why the brand has launched the a.m. Kitchen Skillet?, a bigger, better breakfast that is still free for guests. In addition to the perfect balance of style and comfort with casual hospitality in a well-designed, contemporary environment, more than 100 Hyatt Place locations now offer the most unique complimentary breakfast of any select service hotel, complete with the brand?s new signature breakfast sandwiches. All 167 Hyatt Place hotels will roll out the new a.m. Kitchen Skillet by this fall.
?We always strive to enhance the guest experience, and we felt we had an opportunity to set ourselves apart from our competitors by creating a new and improved, high quality breakfast that would still be offered to our guests for free,? said Kristine Rose, Vice President of Brands for Hyatt Place and Hyatt House. ?We worked very closely with our food and beverage team to think outside the box and create something beyond just your typical scrambled eggs. Our breakfast sandwiches feature ingredients like potato rolls, Gouda cheese, Applewood smoked bacon and more, delivering a different, more exciting option to our guests that really speaks to Hyatt?s culinary creativity.?
The new a.m. Kitchen Skillet includes these breakfast stations:

More on Mornings
As Hyatt Place makes mornings better with the new a.m. Kitchen Skillet, a recently conducted national survey revealed insight into how people are currently managing their mornings:
Rise and Shine?
Despite the fact that 54 percent of participants call themselves a ?morning person,? only 32 percent wake up and think ?bring it!?
Men are twice as likely to think ?bring it!? as women.
Not just in hip-hop, the coastal feud continues as the West is twice as likely to wake up and think ?bring it!? than the Northeast.
People ages 18-34 are about 40 percent more likely to be ?hangry? than any other age group.
You?d give up WHAT?
For an extra hour of sleep, participants would rather cut communication and give up their smart phone (41 percent) or take the smelly route and give up showering (23 percent).
20 percent of survey respondents said they would give up intimate time with their significant other for an extra hour of sleep. Men, you should know that women are almost three times more likely than men to opt for more sleep!
Although women are known to be fashionistas, 60 percent of women would give up the best dressed reputation at work for more sleep.
The older bird gets the worm!
The survey showed that the older you are, the more likely you are to be a ?morning person.?
Sixty-six percent of those 45+ consider themselves morning people as compared to 39 percent of those 18-44.
But they don?t get all the worms ? 36 percent of those surveyed age 55+ wake up wishing for 30 more minutes of sleep.
It?s TOO early for that!
Survey participants can deal more easily with a colleague?s bad breath (22 percent) than with a cold shower (35 percent) in the morning. Don?t use this as an excuse to stop brushing!
What else did participants think was unpleasant after their early morning wake-up call? Twenty percent of participants said they found it most offensive when their colleagues closed the elevator on them. Talk about elevator etiquette gone wrong!
