Hyatt
Hotels is setting a new standard in tourism and travel across
the Middle East region for 2008 with the opening of three key properties:
Grand Hyatt Doha, Park Hyatt Istanbul, and Park Hyatt Jeddah.
With nine Hyatt properties in full operation throughout the region, the
opening of the additional three hotels will add over
400 rooms across three countries – positioning Hyatt as one of the
leading hotel operators in the Middle East.

“Our continuous success in this
region is based
on a number of important factors, which include healthy regional
economies and Hyatt’s ability to identify and support key tourism
destinations for today and the future,” said Thierry Bertin, Area
Director of Marketing – Middle East, Hyatt International Hotels and
Resorts. |

“Our aim is to continue to develop our expansion
plans in the Middle East, one of the fastest growing tourism
destinations in the world, and offer our valued guests the highest
standards of quality and service,” Bertin added.
Grand Hyatt Doha is set to open in spring 2008, followed by Park Hyatt
Istanbul in the summer of 2008 and Park Hyatt Jeddah in late 2008.
The opening of Grand Hyatt Doha will mark Hyatt’s entry into the
glittering world of 5-star hotels in the Gulf state. The hotel will
blend the architectural themes of the ancient world with contemporary
technology. The central court, or atrium, is surrounded on two levels by
lounges, restaurants and the lobby bar. This space will be the hub of
the hotel and the centre of activity. Through the four-storey high
windows there are spectacular views of the centre of Doha, the Pearl
Island and the beach and gardens surrounding the hotel. The bamboo
garden, with its dancing fountain and dramatic crystal rain, is a
feature of the central atrium.

The 90-room Park Hyatt Istanbul- Maçka Palas is
ideally located in the fashionable Nişantaşi residential and shopping
district. Maçka Palas, one of the finest buildings in the city, was
built in 1922 by Italian architect Giulio Mongeri who was inspired by
the elegant Palazzos of Milan where he graduated from the Architectural
Academy. The stylish hotel will house 80 generously sized deluxe rooms
and 10 suites. |
Park Hyatt Jeddah, set to open in late 2008, will
be the first exquisite boutique style hotel in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia. As part of a stunning multi-faceted complex that includes the
current Equestrian club, a future Marina, a large convention and
banqueting complex and a Balneo Therapy Centre, the Park Hyatt will also
be the first hotel in Jeddah to offer an unrestricted access to the
seafront. This innovative project is an impressive engineering feat that
reclaimed an expanse of prime waterfront property from the Red Sea,
while retaining the delicate balance of the surrounding marine life. The
commercial and financial districts, as well as the main shopping and
entertainment areas of Jeddah are nearby making the development an ideal
launching point where visitors can easily conduct business or explore
more leisurely pursuits.
