New Hyatt Place and Hyatt House Hotels Planned to Welcome Guests in
China Soon
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 27, 2014--
As the first Hyatt Place hotel in China prepares to open in May, Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced several new Hyatt Place and Hyatt
House projects that will introduce these two Hyatt brands to China.
The Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands are rooted in extensive consumer
research, which indicates that guests blend their personal and
professional lives while traveling and want a hotel that accommodates
this lifestyle. To embody this, the two brands offer casual hospitality
in a smartly designed, high-tech and contemporary environment.
Hyatt
Place, an upscale select service brand, offers a stylish,
comfortable, and seamless experience grounded in 24/7 convenience. Hyatt
House, an extended stay brand, provides a contemporary experience
with casual home comforts.
“With the introduction of the Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands, we are
bringing exciting fresh options to our guests and delivering on our
commitment to create a more diversified hospitality industry and become
the most preferred hospitality brand in China,” said Mr.
Nong Xia
,
senior vice president of real estate and development for Hyatt Hotels &
Resorts. “This will further expand Hyatt’s portfolio in this market,
helping maintain healthy, strong growth for the Hyatt brands in China.”
First Hyatt Place Hotel to Open in Shenzhen
In May, China is expected to welcome its first Hyatt Place hotel, Hyatt
Place Shenzhen, Dongmen, located in the heart of Shenzhen, a
southern city bordering Hong Kong. The hotel will also be the first
Hyatt Place branded hotel in the Asia Pacific region, marking an
important step for Hyatt in the worldwide expansion of the Hyatt Place
brand. In 2012, the first Hyatt Place location outside the United States
opened in Costa Rica. Today, the brand offers more than 190 locations in
the United States, Armenia, Costa Rica, India, Mexico, Puerto Rico and
the Netherlands.
Guests of Hyatt Place Shenzhen, Dongmen can expect the brand’s signature
spacious rooms, which each feature a Cozy Corner, 42” flat screen TVs,
and comfortable beds, a free hot breakfast, multi-tasking, friendly
Gallery Hosts, and a 24-hour gym.
Poised for Hyatt Place and Hyatt House Growth
With the introduction of Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels, six of
Hyatt’s nine brands are expected to be represented in China by 2015.
More than 20 Hyatt Place and Hyatt House projects are under development
in China.
“At Hyatt, we conduct extensive customer research to fully understand
exactly what our customers need and why,” said
Chris Walker
, vice
president of brands for Hyatt Place and Hyatt House. “These two brands
were specifically designed to meet the constantly changing needs of our
guests by providing simple comfort on the road. Our dedicated associates
are ready to provide Hyatt’s high quality services and give our guests a
welcoming, personalized, and hospitable experience.”
