Venice, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/11/2012 -- Recognizing that people can be overworked and under-rested, Hyatt Regency Irvine, a AAA Four Diamond hotel in the heart of Southern California, calls for travelers to use their well-deserved vacation days. The hotel is making it easy with a new promotion offering a free night and added perks.

Americans left 226 million vacation days unused in 2011, according to an Expedia survey. The average American worker earned 14 vacations days last year, but only took 12 of them. Why aren’t people getting away? A recent study showed 89 percent of adults said Americans want to take more leisure trips, but didn’t have the time or money to do so. With the new promotion, guests can enjoy more than a free night from the official sponsor of free time.

“Everyone’s working so hard these days, and we want to make it easier for people to take free time for themselves,” said Mark Bastis, general manager, Hyatt Regency Irvine. “Relax and rejuvenate your way. Finally have that couple’s getaway, enjoy Hyatt Regency Irvine with your little ones, spend a weekend with the girls, or explore a new destination.”
