Why the Hyatt Regency?

The Hyatt Regency Monterey is renowned for its service and setting. Perhaps more importantly to the SB'08 community, the Hyatt Regency Monterey's "Recycle, Reuse, Reduce" program makes them a leader on the Monterey Peninsula with innovative commitments that lessen their impact on the community and the world around them. In fact, The Hyatt Regency Monterey surpassed the high bar set by the environmental standards of The Nature Conservancy during their 2005 Annual Leadership Conference held at the hotel.

More programs that make the Hyatt Regency Monterey the premier choice for SB'08 attendees include:

• Hyatt Hotels & Resorts have partnered with EcoLab, committing to only use safe, non-toxic air fresheners, glass cleaners and all-purpose cleaners in their Housekeeping and Engineering departments.
• Along with their commitment to using local farmers and food purveyors, Hyatt Regency Monterey's TusCa Ristorante has crafted a partnership with the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch Program to incorporate the use of sustainable fish into their menu.

Local Fun

The Monterey Bay Aquarium

With its miles of exhibits and commitment to protecting the natural environment, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of Montereys best-loved local attractions. The aquarium has gone all out in its commitment to the environment, creating a nationally recognized Seafood Watch scorecard to help conscientious diners make sustainable seafood choices.

Tide Pooling

The little known art form of hopping from dry spot to dry spot along the sea coast at low tide, and checking out what kind of marine life was stranded in the pools of water formed by depressions in the rocky coast. Very popular with the kids, and adults who enjoy the simple pleasures.

Winery Tours

The fertile soil in Monterey County supports more than 20 different varieties of grapes! This unique and diverse habitat is particularly susceptible to global warming, and is rapidly becoming a front line issue in regional environmental debates. We invite you to join the debate over a glass of local chardonnay or merlot.

Fishermans Wharf

An attraction based on, you guessed it! The fishing industry. Overfishing is consistently a hot topic at international summits, and is becoming increasingly common fodder for backyard barbeque gatherings (as well as everything in between). Nearby Monterey exists one of California's largest populations of sea lions and otters frolicking in the glassy harbor waters.
