ROOM 901 SPEAKEASY

With a growing demand for private dining, the format of Room 901, inside Las Olas Boulevard’s Hyatt Centric, caters to guests wanting a more intimate atmosphere without having to sacrifice on the experience. The inspiration behind the name 901 is simple; it’s the number of the guest room the speakeasy occupies.

The Hyatt Centric Las Olas team conceptualized 901 as a way to offer added value for their guests and drive attention towards the F&B program led by their creative Executive Chef Gregory McGowan. They collaborated to design and build out the space. They added the bartenderin-residence program component as a way to give back to industry friends, highlighting bars that might be struggling or have had to close as a result of the pandemic.

So far, Room 901 has showcased famed D.C. speakeasy, the Gibson, Miami-based mixologists Gui Jaroschy and Ben Potts of Unfiltered Hospitality, Gio Gutierrez of Chat Chow TV, and Austin’s Midnight Cowboy (my experience). Each bartender has brought something different to the space, making it their own while also staying true to 901’s Prohibition-inspired sultry vibe.
