Hyatt Place Jermuk will add to the brand’s growing presence in Europe
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 2014--
Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced that a Hyatt affiliate
has entered into a contract with Jersan LLC to develop a Hyatt Place
hotel in Jermuk, Armenia. Expected to open in 2015, Hyatt Place Jermuk
will mark the second Hyatt-branded hotel in Armenia, joining the
recently opened Hyatt
Place Yerevan.
“We are delighted to announce the development of a second Hyatt Place
hotel in Armenia and further expand Hyatt’s brand presence across the
region,” said
Peter Norman
, senior vice president, acquisitions and
development for Hyatt – Europe, Africa, and Middle East. “We look
forward to welcoming guests to Hyatt Place Jermuk, where they will
experience the authentic hospitality and purposeful service for which
the Hyatt Place brand is known.”
“We are honored to work with Hyatt as the company continues to expand
its brand presence in Armenia,” said
Samvel Sargsyan
, director, Jersan
LLC. “We have worked with Hyatt on several previous developments and
feel privileged to work alongside the company once again. Given Hyatt’s
strong brand name and the new hotel’s convenient location, we believe
that Hyatt Place Jermuk will attract both business and leisure travelers
from across the region.”
The 88-room, new-build hotel will be situated in the center of Jermuk
Resort, a resort currently being redeveloped by the Armenian government
that is known for its hot springs and providing bottled water in the
area. Hyatt Place Jermuk will offer more than 1,800 square feet (170
square meters) of meeting space, an open market with made-to-order meals
and snacks around the clock, a restaurant offering breakfast, lunch and
dinner, a fitness center, and an indoor and outdoor swimming pool.
Guests staying at Hyatt Place Jermuk will be able to discover the
discreet charm of Jermuk, a mountain resort town known for its thermal
water spas. The hotel will also be an ideal base for guests to explore
the natural beauty and cultural heritage sites of Armenia, including the
mountains of Vayots Dzor and the 1,000-year old Gndevank Monastery. Less
than three hours away from the Armenian capital Yerevan, Jermuk
regularly hosts international chess events, including the World Chess
Federation Grand Prix tournaments.
