Standing tall, like an elaborate lighthouse on Maryland's Eastern Shore, the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge, Md., is a beacon of light and beauty. This 400 room resort, set on the Choptank River, rests on 342 artistically landscaped acres that boast an 18 hole championship golf course and a 150 foot slip marina.

The lobby, which features vaulted ceilings, towering columns and a dynamic stone fireplace, becomes an elegant and seductive place to gather when the lights are dimmed. Probably the most outstanding feature that the resort consistently provides is gorgeous views of the land and water, through well positioned windows throughout the property. Other hotel amenities include four tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, a business center offering computer rentals with high speed Internet, and a full service European health spa. This property also has a wildlife refuge, featuring 18 acres of vegetation and indigenous animals such as the Great Blue Heron and American Bald Eagle. A 2.3 mile jogging path circles the perimeter of the resort, and water enthusiasts can enjoy recreational activities such as fishing, sailing, boating and canoeing.

The hotel's guestrooms are bursting with color, and are equipped with windows that reach from the floor to the ceiling, offering a panoramic view of the Chesapeake Bay. With satellite television, refrigerators, wireless high speed Internet, coffeemakers and contemporary urban furniture, guests can enjoy the home like comforts of the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay.
