Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that one of its affiliates has entered into a management agreement with Blackfriars Hotels Limited for Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars.
Set to open in July 2022, the 204-room hotel will join nine additional Hyatt-branded properties in London, marking another milestone in Hyatt’s brand growth strategy for the UK.
Located within close proximity to Blackfriars station, the hotel will offer guests flexibility and the ability to stay connected during their stay. It will also be situated near to South Bank area, St Paul’s Cathedral and Shakespeare’s Globe theatre.
Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars was a former palace and is a historically protected grade II listed building. The property will feature an all-day New York style bistro, and a specialty Chinese restaurant.
It will also feature a cocktail bar, with a large outdoor space, featuring modern arrangements designed to “encourage guests to gather”. In addition, the hotel will also offer meeting spaces and a fitness centre.
Felicity Black Roberts, vice president of development of Europe at Hyatt, said: “We are thrilled to announce plans for Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars, a hotel that demonstrates Hyatt’s confidence in London’s position as an attractive destination for both business and leisure travellers. Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars will be an exciting offering to the millions of people who visit the iconic city every year.”
Galadari, owner of Blackfriars Hotels Limited, said: “We are delighted to be working with Hyatt to open Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars, cutting-edge hotel for leisure and business travellers. We were instantly attracted to the legacy, premium quality, and reputation offered by the Hyatt Regency brand and its ambition to create a seamless hotel and dining experience for guests.
“With its smart design features, innovative food and beverage concepts, and a desirable location, Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars is set to become a landmark for generations to come.”
Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars will be the 13th Hyatt-affiliated hotel in the U.K. and the ninth in London.
