Hyatt opens two new London properties

Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced the opening of the 225-room Hyatt Regency London Stratford and the 127-room Hyatt House London Stratford in Westfield Stratford City. The group said its openings demonstrate Hyatt’s commitment to growing its brand presence in Europe and strengthening its brands in the UK. The group said Hyatt House London Stratford is aimed at looking for a “modern and comfortable” extended stay, with apartment-style living in guestrooms that feature fully equipped kitchens and flexible workspaces that have been designed to make guests feel “at home.” Meanwhile, Hyatt Regency London Stratford features over 3,000 square feet of meeting space, an open-air terrace and contemporarily designed guest rooms and suites. According to the group, guests at both hotels have access to the on-site Elondi Restaurant, serving a locally sourced and seasonally inspired East London menu. The Elondi Bar and its “spacious” terrace offer bespoke and classic cocktails, an “extensive” wine list, craft beers and bar snacks. Additionally, guests have 24-hour access to its fitness centre. Glenn Findlay, general manager at the hotels, said: “We have two distinctive, yet perfectly complementary hotels under one roof. I’m excited to be leading my team in welcoming World of Hyatt members, guests and customers, ensuring they have a delightful and productive stay with us.” Neil Maxwell, chief executive officer of M&L Hospitality, a platform that invests in Hyatt Hotels, added: “We are pleased to continue our relationship with Hyatt in the UK. Our strategy focuses on identifying key gateway cities with strong economic growth. Stratford is experiencing a real boom and today’s openings of Hyatt Regency London Stratford and Hyatt House London Stratford capitalise on this.”
