Hyatt Cinema - 1964 - Burlingame - CA - USA

Burlingame’s Hyatt Cinema originally opened on September 15, 1964 as the “Hyatt Music Theatre,” a venue for live musicals. It was the first theater “in the round” to be located on the San Francisco Peninsula, predating San Carlos’ Circle Star Theatre by roughly one month. Unfortunately, the Hyatt’s original business concept failed to attract regular crowds and in 1966, the theater was remodeled for film use. The rechristened “Hyatt Cinema” operated as a movie theater for over forty years before closing in 2007. This futuristic building currently sits empty.
