Practical tips: reservations, billing and family dining
Morton's accepts reservations and is popular for special occasions; because it operates independently from the hotel, Morton's charges cannot be posted to your Hyatt room folio—plan to pay the restaurant directly.
SHOR accepts reservations (OpenTable) though some guests report occasional booking issues; call the restaurant or the hotel if you need to confirm a reservation. For quick needs use Market or SHOR2Go.
The hotel is family-friendly: children of all ages are welcome and many on-site dining options (including Market and SHOR) accommodate families.
- If you need to add restaurant charges to your room bill, check first—Morton's does not post charges to rooms
- For weekend evenings and game or concert nights, book ahead for SHOR and Morton's
- Ask about kids' menu options at SHOR and TAVERN if traveling with children
| Question | Action |
|---|---|
| Can I add Morton's charges to room? | No—Morton's bills separately |
| Best way to secure a table | Call Morton's or SHOR directly; use OpenTable where available |
| Need food late at night | Market is open 24 hours |
