Hyatt says it's creating a 'highly inclusive environment' as people call for a boycott of the hotel

As people call for a boycott of Hyatt for hosting this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, the American hotel chain is standing up for what it is describing as its values of inclusivity and respect.

"We take pride in operating a highly inclusive environment and we believe that the facilitation of gatherings is a central element of what we do as a hospitality company," a Hyatt spokesperson told Fox Business in response to hosting CPAC in its Hyatt Regency hotel in Orlando, Florida.

"We believe in the right of individuals and organizations to peacefully express their views, independent of the degree to which the perspectives of those hosting meetings and events at our hotels align with ours."

The Hyatt spokesperson said the chain is responsible for creating an inclusive environment for all guests.

People initially took to Twitter over the weekend to call out the American hotel chain for hosting the conservative event, which is featuring speeches from Republican lawmakers, former White House officials, and former President Donald Trump. Many people took issue with the design of the event's stage, which was reminiscent of symbol used by the Nazi party.

It was our understanding that the large cross erected in the field adjacent to the CPAC camping area was for religious uses. KOA in no way endorses or approves of Saturday night “Bahn fire” or those who attended in a group uniform

or literal anarchists, because they don't really believe that all ideas are welcome at their hotel just the ones that are palatable to enough paying customers.

And while a person is writing a response they do not see on the fly corrections. So, no, I did NOT see your correction, even now.

It’s precious how their “inclusivity” makes space for conventions that use nazi symbols.

This is anything but "inclusive". This is about embracing a group of hatemongering individuals who want to exclude as many people as they can from voting and participating in our political process.

and are allowed to present propoganda to distort reality and truth. Yeah, that's worked out real well. Why not hire thieves and rapists on ur staff if u want to be inclusive. That'll work, too.

Suck it, Hyatt. Ur off my list.
