The Hyatt group is continuing its momentum in Europe. At the end of last year, the American hotel operator unveiled the following plans for Europe an ambitious development plan with around twenty hotels expected by 2023, including a Hyatt Place in Rouen, Hyatt Regency hotels in London, Lisbon, Edinburgh and London, and new hotels to add to its collection of independent Unbound luxury hotels, such as the Grand Hansa Hotel in Helsinki.
Alongside the ongoing acquisition of Apple Leisure Group, which is expected to add 60 % to Hyatt's footprint in Europe, six new projects have now been added to this list. At a time when business travel is taking a beating, some of these developments focus on leisure destinations such as the luxury resort of Crans-Montana in Switzerland where the luxury Rhodania boutique hotel will become part of the Unbound by Hyatt Collection in 2023, joining the Hôtel du Palais in Biarritz and the Hôtel du Louvre in Paris. Another future member of this collection, but one that travellers will be able to discover from next October, is Il Tornabuoni in Florence, a 62-room luxury hotel housed in two Renaissance palaces, the Palazzo Minerbetti and the Palazzo Strozzi del Poeta.
Still in Italy, and again this October, the JdV by Hyatt brand will be setting up in Rome, marking the launch of a new brand. the American group's debut in the Italian capital. Hyatt has signed a franchise agreement with the AG Hotels group, which also owns Il Tornabuoni, to brand the Tribune hotel. Located next to the famous Via Veneto, this 52-room upmarket design hotel will offer a rooftop restaurant, meeting rooms and an events area.
Business tourists have not been forgotten in this development plan, and neither has France. So the lifestyle brand JdV by Hyatt will also be making an appearance in Bordeaux next year with a 147-room hotel, about which the daily Sud Ouest gave a few details last July: the former Allianz offices will be converted into a lifestyle hotel as part of the redevelopment of the Mériadeck business district.
Among other business-focused developments, the American hotelier will be adding the following by 2025 a second hotel in Hamburgin addition to the existing Park Hyatt. This project concerns its lifestyle brand Hyatt Centric, expected to open on one of the German metropolis's main shopping streets, Moenckebergstrasse. Finally, not an opening, but an addition, since the Hyatt Regency Hesperia in Madrid will soon have a residential component with 22 top-of-the-range flats, the Hyatt Regency Madrid Residences, ranging from 100 m2 to a 350 m2 penthouse extended by a vast terrace.
