  • Select services

Hyatt House Raleigh Durham Airport hotel is beautifully located in the heart of Perimeter Park. It’s the perfect location to plan your special event and out of town accommodations. While in town, enjoy our complimentary shuttle service offering short drives to all points of the triangle and Raleigh Durham Airport. We make planning easy with our flexible F&B packages and convenient on-site amenities.

My wedding was this past December, and I had been looking for a hotel to accommodate my family and friends. The Hyatt House in Morrisville was the perfect spot. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and even handed out gift bags to our guests. The event coordinator, Brett, is absolutely fantastic to work with. He is not only professional, but extremely kind and responsive. I am a big fan of Hyatt in general, but this experience just really solidified everything about Hyatt I already like. The hotel lobby area/bar was the perfect spot for the family to informally gather during the wedding weekend and the variety in breakfast day to day was also an added bonus. If you area looking for a spot to host your family and friends then definitely consider this hotel!
