Hyatt will announce its development plans for major properties in Saudi Arabia and France at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM).
Within Hyatt’s pipeline are the 257-room, 37-suite Hyatt Regency Riyadh Olaya, and Hyatt Regency Mecca, offering 628 guestrooms, in addition to meeting facilities, dining venues, a Regency Club lounge, a spa and fitness center, and 24-hour in room dining.
“Over the last few years, demand in the luxury market in Saudi Arabia has been very strong. Business travellers are facing challenges to reserve branded accommodation,” said Tareq Daoud, regional vice president global sales—Middle East, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Southwest Asia.
Hyatt will also disclose information on the four newly branded French properties expected to be fully converted by late April of this year, drawing heavily from the Gulf States as many travellers identify France as a top summer travel destination.
“Paris and Cannes are France’s two most important cities for business and leisure travel, and Nice is one of the most in-demand resort areas in the world. We know Gulf travellers see France as a key destination for summer travel,” said Ron Cusiter, vice president, sales operations for Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, Southwest Asia.
