Dubai: Hyatt Hotels is setting a new standard in tourism and travel across the Middle East region for 2008 with the opening of three key properties: Grand Hyatt Doha, Park Hyatt Istanbul, and Park Hyatt Jeddah.
With nine Hyatt properties in operation throughout the region, the opening of the additional three hotels will add over 400 rooms in three countries — positioning Hyatt as one of the leading hotel operators in the Middle East.
"Our continuous success in this region is based on a number of important factors, which include healthy regional economies and Hyatt's ability to identify and support key tourism destinations for today and the future," said Thierry Bertin, area director of marketing - Middle East, Hyatt International Hotels and Resorts.
Grand Hyatt Doha is set to open in spring 2008, followed by Park Hyatt Istanbul in the summer of 2008 and Park Hyatt Jeddah in late 2008.
Projects
The opening of Grand Hyatt Doha will mark Hyatt's entry into the glittering world of five-star hotels in the Gulf state. The hotel will blend the architectural themes of the ancient world with contemporary technology. The 90-room Park Hyatt Istanbul- Macka Palas is located in the Niantai residential and shopping district. The stylish hotel will house 80 generously sized deluxe rooms and 10 suites.
Park Hyatt Jeddah will be the first exquisite boutique style hotel in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Park Hyatt will also be the first hotel in Jeddah to offer an unrestricted access to the seafront.
