Saw something that said it was set to reopen this year, but saw something else that said it was supposed to have reopened in 2007.

Its directly connected to the New Orleans Centre so I figured there must be some info on it with the new state deal.

yeah Benson owns all of that shopping center connected to the Hyatt and the Dome now b/c of the new deal. So I would assume that pretty soon that whole place will be running like it was before.

Benson doesn't own the Hyatt even now with the new deal. That's why I'm wondering when Hyatt will reopen their doors.

Benson wouldn't buy the shopping center if the Hyatt didn't plan to reopen

The Hyatt is definitely going to reopen in the near future. My dad is an engineer and he did a little part time work over there while they get everything in order.

I hear renovations were to begin this spring and for the hotel to open in March 2011. This was from a Picayune article back in February.

Renovations have begun and judging by the schedule I am hearing it may be complete by this season. the job was on and off for a few years because of funding but everything is straight and good to go.
