Hyatt criticizes CPAC over stage resembling Nazi symbol, ‘hostility’ to employees

Hyatt Hotels distanced itself further from the stage design at the CPAC 2021 conference in Orlando this past weekend, saying it would have scrapped the layout if it knew about its resemblance to a Nazi symbol. The hotel chain also criticized CPAC attendees for the “disrespect” it showed employees who asked them to follow company policy and Orange County law requiring masks because of the pandemic.

In response, CPAC’s attorney issued a letter accusing Hyatt of “slanderous” and “false and malicious claims” and said Hyatt was involved in every step of the design process. A CPAC spokesman also said Hyatt employees in Orlando were grateful for the business of the Conservative Political Action Conference, which drew ex-President Trump and a bevy of top Republican leaders. Despite the dispute, CPAC still hasn’t ruled out holding the event at the Hyatt again, or a possible return to Orlando.

The stage at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, a diamond shape with bent extensions branching off, resembles an Odal rune, a symbol used on some Nazi uniforms. The Nazi symbol was used by white nationalist groups at the Charlottesville protest in 2017.

A common setup for a fan shaped auditorium.

If I didn’t know about ex-Astros pitcher Mark Lemongello, I might say it sounds alike a snowflake name. But it’s not.

They should have kicked out of the building anyone that was no wearing a mask in compliance with the hotel’s rules.

Stupid people that don’t know how to conduct themselves.

I was hostile to a hotel employee once, when she tried to offer me bacon wrapped prunes on a platter.

I did immediately apologize for my reaction but she was having none of it. I blame the other hotel employee who kept passing out free glasses of alcohol.

It looks like an AIDS ribbon, just black instead of red.

Hyatt really knows how to screw their business model.

Wouldn’t stay there if THEY paid ME.

I think I’ll make several reservations at a Hyatt and call back in a couple of hours and cancel. And, keep doing that!

Yo, Hyatt Hotels, you gonna keep that tainted money? If you’re really disgusted, you should return it.

YUP.

It's suprising that they didn't turn out the lights and do White Supremist chants too.

The stage has extra lines extending from the base and across it, unlike the rune.

Of course, it’s well documented how lunatics can see patterns and images where none exist.
