Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced that a Hyatt affiliate has signed management agreements with affiliates of Constellation Hotels Holding Ltd., adding four hotels in France and more than doubling the number of Hyatt locations in the country.
The agreements will enable Hyatt to establish and enhance brand representation in highly visible locations in some of Europe’s key high-barrier-to-entry markets, consistent with the company’s strategy of increasing the long-term presence of its brands in gateway cities.
The hotels, which will be converted to Hyatt brands beginning in April 2013, will add more than 1,700 rooms to Hyatt’s existing hotel portfolio in France, which includes Park Hyatt Paris Vendome, Hyatt Paris Madeleine and Hyatt Regency Paris Charles de Gaulle. The hotels will be rebranded as follows:
Hotel Martinez will be rebranded Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez
Palais de la Mediterranée Hotel and Casino will be rebranded Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Mediterranée
Concorde Lafayette will be rebranded Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile
Hotel du Louvre will enter the Hyatt brand family with its identity intact and will be marketed initially as Hotel du Louvre. Following a renovation, the hotel is to become an Andaz.
Each of the four hotels will undergo a renovation. All hotels can be booked via Hyatt’s reservation systems beginning in April.
The hotels are based in some of France’s most sought-after locations, from the most prestigious tourist destinations and commercial districts in Paris to the exclusive Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes and the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
Peter Fulton, Group President, EAME/Southwest Asia for Hyatt, commented: “We continue to grow in a thoughtful way, focusing on the key destinations where Hyatt guests are traveling. Paris and Cannes are France’s two most important cities for business and leisure travel, and Nice is one of the most in-demand resort areas in the world.
“We look forward to becoming good stewards of these hotels, each of which has a proud and long-established cultural heritage. With the strength of our service culture, the relevance of our brands to today’s global travelers, the depth of our operational expertise, and the reach of our reservation systems and loyal guest network, we believe Hyatt will bring great value to these hotels, to their new owners and to our new associates.”
Peter Norman, Senior Vice President, Real Estate and Development, EAME for Hyatt, said: “There is significant demand for our brands in Europe, and we are delighted to expand our representation in these high-barrier-to-entry markets with a single transaction. These destinations have consistently high demand – according to the Paris Convention and Visitors office, Paris alone is the largest hotel market in Continental Europe – which gives us a fantastic opportunity to increase awareness of all Hyatt has to offer.”
Zaki El Guiziri, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Constellation Hotels Holding Ltd., said: “Hyatt has a reputation for excellence around the world and we believe their expertise and brand reputation will add significant value to an already impressive collection of hotels. We are looking forward to executing significant renovation work at the hotels in order to maintain their historical position as world-class properties.”
