Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport expected to open in 2018
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today that a Hyatt affiliate
has entered into a management agreement with Société d'Investissement
Hôtelière EPE SPA for a Hyatt Regency hotel to be located at Houari
Boumediene Airport in Algiers, Algeria. The hotel, expected to open late
2018, will mark the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Algeria. Hyatt Regency
Algiers Airport will add to Hyatt’s growing brand presence in Africa,
following the successful openings of Hyatt
Place Taghazout Bay in Morocco and Park
Hyatt Zanzibar in Tanzania in 2015, which brought the total number
of Hyatt-branded hotels in Africa to six.
“This is a landmark moment for Hyatt – Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport
will be the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Algeria and further
demonstrates the company’s commitment to growing its brand footprint in
Algeria and throughout Africa,” said Peter Norman, senior vice
president, acquisitions and development – Europe, Africa, and Middle
East for Hyatt. “The region is home to some of the world’s fastest
growing economies, with enticing prospects for both business and leisure
travel.”
Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport will be part of a wider airport expansion
in one of North Africa’s largest cities. The 326-room hotel will be
situated directly opposite the airport’s new terminal and will be the
only terminal-linked hotel.
Ideally located at the entry to the airport, Hyatt Regency Algiers
Airport will offer guests a one-stop experience, designed with
everything under one roof. The hotel will provide dedicated airline
lounges, a Regency Club lounge, a rooftop swimming pool and a large
lobby with an all-day dining restaurant, which will serve as a central
gathering point at the hotel for business travellers, conference hosts
and leisure travellers alike. Additionally, the hotel will offer a
variety of lounge and seating areas to provide guests with the spaces
they need, whether for work or relaxation, and more than 4,950 square
feet (460 square meters) of meeting and event space.
“We are delighted to be working on our first project with Hyatt and to
introduce the Hyatt Regency brand to Algeria,” said Hamid Melzi,
président directeur general, Société d'Investissement Hôtelière EPA SPA.
“With the hotel’s prominent location at Houari Boumediene Airport, we
believe the globally recognized Hyatt Regency brand will resonate with
the growing base of business and leisure travelers visiting the city.”
