Hyatt Hotels unveils plans for new branded property in London
Hyatt Hotels has announced an affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Blackfriars Hotels Ltd for Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars.
Anticipated to open in July 2022, the 204-room Hyatt Regency hotel will join nine additional Hyatt-branded properties in London, marking another milestone in Hyatt’s ambitious brand growth strategy for the UK in one of London’s busiest districts.
The announcement signals Hyatt’s continued brand growth in London and confidence in the United Kingdom as a top travel destination.
Felicity Black Roberts, vice president of development of Europe at Hyatt, said: “We are thrilled to announce plans for Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars, a hotel that demonstrates Hyatt’s confidence in London’s position as an attractive destination for both business and leisure travelers.
“Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars will be an exciting offering to the millions of people who visit the iconic city every year.”
Currently in the stages of an extensive refurbishment program, Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars was a former palace and is a historically protected grade II listed building. The property will feature an all-day New York style bistro, and a specialty Chinese restaurant.
Galadari, owner of Blackfriars Hotels Limited, commented: “We are delighted to be working with Hyatt to open Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars, a cutting-edge hotel for leisure and business travelers.
“We were instantly attracted to the legacy, premium quality, and reputation offered by the Hyatt Regency brand and its ambition to create a seamless hotel and dining experience for guests.
“With its smart design features, innovative food and beverage concepts, and a desirable location, Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars is set to become a landmark for generations to come.”
Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars will be the 13th Hyatt-affiliated hotel in the UK and the ninth in London.
