Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced that a Hyatt
affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement with La Manga Club, S.L. (an
affiliate of Grupo Inversor Hesperia) for Grand Hyatt La Manga Club and Resort.
Following significant renovation work, the iconic 192-room resort property is
set to debut the Grand Hyatt brand in Spain in mid-2023. The announcement fuels
Hyatt’s ambitious plans to grow its luxury brands in key-growth markets across
Europe in the places that matter most to guests and World of Hyatt members.
Situated in a secluded spot on the Mediterranean coast, Grand Hyatt La
Manga Club and Resort sits at the heart of the renowned enclave of La Manga
Club in Murcia, Spain, widely recognized as one of the most in-demand sports
and leisure destinations in Southern Europe. As part of an extensive
renovation, set to be completed in spring 2023, the hotel’s 192 guestrooms,
including a 1,679 square foot Royal Suite and six additional suites, will be
redesigned to reflect the vibrant design and bold architecture that the Grand
Hyatt brand is known for. An array of renewed culinary offerings will also be
added, such as a new sushi bar and a high-end gastronomic restaurant, focused
on highlighting local produce through international cuisines.
“Grand Hyatt La Manga Club and Resort will offer the modern traveler
enriching luxury and lifestyle experiences and will mark an important milestone
in our impressive luxury brand growth in Europe,” said Felicity Black-Roberts,
vice president development, Europe, Hyatt. “This will be our third
collaboration with Grupo Inversor Hesperia in Spain, building on our lasting
relationships with leading owners and the value of our diverse and dynamic
brand portfolio.”
“It’s an enormous thrill to work with Hyatt again and to introduce the
Grand Hyatt brand to Spain,” said Jordi Ferrer, chief executive officer,
Hesperia. “Grand Hyatt La Manga Club and Resort will deliver an abundance of
options for high-class travelers looking for unparalleled splendor and luxury
experiences while visiting Murcia.”
True to the brand principles of being a captivating destination within a
destination, Grand Hyatt Manga Club and Resort will be located amidst 1,384
acres of lush greenery with access to the surrounding wildlife, and natural
landmarks Calblanqe Natural Park and Mar Menor lagoon close by. The hotel’s
outstanding facilities will set a benchmark for sporting offerings in the
region and include three championship level 18-hole golf courses, expansive
outdoor tennis facilities and the La Manga Club Football Center, currently the
home of Cartagena FC.
The hotel’s generous spa area will encourage total relaxation, with two
new adults-only pools providing stunning sea views. Guests can make the most of
this striking backdrop at one of the many indoor and outdoor event spaces.
With up to 13,863 square feet of space to use, Grand Hyatt La Manga Club
and Resort will be an ideal venue to host an unforgettable event, from meetings
to conferences and weddings, amongst the flourishing landscape.
Grand Hyatt La Manga Club and Resort will be the first Grand Hyatt
branded hotel in Spain and will be joined by the previously announced Grand Hyatt Lanzarote, which is set to open
in 2025. Grand Hyatt La Manga Club and Resort and Grand Hyatt Lanzarote will
join iconic European properties in the portfolio including Grand Hyatt Berlin in Germany, Grand Hyatt Athens in Greece and Grand Hyatt Istanbul in Turkey.
