I don't know how many hotels still offer smoking in the lobby, etc, but (IMO), the Hyatt is an isolated case. Walking back from dinner one night, I passed by the Wyndam and noticed the "No Smoking" sign on front door.


>Progress in the sense that 20 years ago, if I'd suggested that a hotel lobby should be smoke-free, I'd have been laughed at. Now it's rare to find a hotel (at least in the North) where smoking is permitted in common areas.

>I remember vividly taking one of my kids to the infirmary at Veteran's Stadium during a Phillies game because the smoke in our seating area had brought on an asthma attack -- that was 10-12 years ago. Now all the seating areas are smoke-free with smoking allowed only on the concourses. (I'll be curious to see what the rules are for the new ballpark that opens in about 18 months.)
