Hyatt Place London City East, the third Hyatt Place hotel in London, has officially opened its doors as part of the Hyatt Place brand’s ongoing global expansion. 

The hotel features the Hyatt Place brand’s “intuitive” design, casual atmosphere and practical amenities, including free Wi-Fi and 24-hour food offerings. It also features 280 bedrooms with separate spaces to sleep, work and play, while many of the guestrooms feature their own private terrace or city skyline views. 

The Breakfast Bar will serve locally inspired breakfast options every morning, while the Pocketsquare Skyline Bar and Terrace will serve cocktails with views over the city. 

Meanwhile, the Zoom Restaurant will provide a range of responsibly sourced global and local cuisine, while The Market will serve freshly prepared meals 24 hours a day. In addition, The Bar features specialty coffees and premium beers, as well as wines and cocktails.

The site also includes two flexible event spaces each offering flexible, high-tech function space for up to 20 guests, as well as a fitness center featuring cardio equipment with LCD touchscreens.

Hyatt Place London City East is managed by Cycas Hospitality, and is under the leadership of Michael Mason-Shaw, general manager, director of operations Pino Dispinseri, and director of sales Silvia Abreu. 

The property is located a short walk from Liverpool Street and close to some of London’s“most important cultural and artistic highlights”, including Brick Lane, Spitalfields Market, and the Tower of London.  

Michael Mason-Shaw, general manager, Hyatt Place London City East, said: “With its central location and stylish design incorporating local art links, we’re confident the Hyatt Place concept will prove as popular with those enjoying a short break in the capital as it will with anyone travelling on business.

“Above all, we look forward to introducing more people to the casual yet practical atmosphere associated with the Hyatt Place brand.”   

Wayne Androliakos, COO, Cycas Hospitality, said: “London is a vibrant city, filled with friendly people, great neighbourhoods, and an ever-expanding list of great places to visit and things to do or see.

“Our hotel is central to all of them, and we are confident that the Hyatt Place London City East will exceed guest expectations while providing them with everything they need while exploring the Capital.”
