Hyatt Rooms Executive Ash Awasthi said you will notice the air smells pure as soon as you walk into one of their 10 rooms set aside and treated to be allergy friendly…”They are nine to ten times purer than what you get outside.”
Hyatt places a $25 per night up charge for an allergy friendly room…The American Hotel and Lodging Association says almost 40% of all hotels now have allergy friendly options and up-charges vary.
Most people don’t realize this, but you can ask for an allergy friendly room at the Hyatt.
Awasthi said these rooms are special for three reasons. First, he said very single surface is chemically treated so dust doesn’t stick. Also, there is a special casing on the mattress and pillows. “Basically it’s the fabric that prevents any impurities,” he said. He also pointed out what he said is a medical grade air purifier. “This filters out 99% of the particles or bacteria you have in the room.”
Lewis had not heard of allergy friendly hotel rooms and said, “It’s certainly something I would look into going forward.”
Hyatt places a $25 per night up charge for an allergy friendly room. “If I went outside and found myself gasping for air, I think $25 is fair,” Lewis said.
Ear Nose and Throat Doctor Carmelo Saraceno in Tampa says he would recommend the rooms to his patients and thinks they are a great option. “It’s (allergies) not comfortable and leads to other medical conditions later on,” he said about the long-term affects of allergies.
Lewis tried an allergy friendly room shortly after we met him at the Hyatt and noticed his eyes were not nearly as itchy the following morning.
