Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announces the opening of Hyatt Place Rouen,
expanding the Hyatt Place brand’s global footprint in markets that matter most
to guests and World of Hyatt members. Combining style, innovation and 24/7
convenience, the new hotel features a modern design, casual atmosphere, and
practical amenities, such as three meeting rooms, a restaurant with French
regional cuisine, onsite spa with a heated pool and treatment rooms, and
state-of-the-art fitness centre.
Hyatt
Place Rouen is conveniently situated in the heart of Rouen, a pleasant stroll
from iconic sites such as the Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rouen and the Gothic
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, and located within a former teacher training
college dating back to 1886. Just a two-hour drive away from Paris, with
unparalleled access to the charming countryside and historical sites of
Normandy, Hyatt Place Rouen is an ideal choice for both work and relaxation,
situated in the third most visited region in France.
The
hotel offers panoramic views overlooking the city’s skyline of “a hundred
spires”, and this outlook is reflected in the interior design with a steel blue
palette evoking the Seine River and stormy Norman skies. This complements the
muted yellow tones, in a nod to the region’s renowned Calvados spirits and
warmth of the local culture. Stripes feature throughout the property, as a
reference to the half-timbering characteristic of the old town area. Within the
“Jardins des Oeuvres”, three striking sculptures add to the hotel’s charm and
character. Seamlessly blending contemporary style and comfort, Hyatt Place
creates an easy to navigate experience for today’s modern traveller.
Commenting
on the opening, Michel Morauw, Managing Director Hyatt EAME North said, “Hyatt
Place Rouen captures the essence of Rouen’s rich history while providing the
modern traveller with a comfortable, convenient and memorable stay, whether
visiting for a short business break, or a leisurely getaway to explore the
region’s culture and history. Hyatt Place Rouen marries classical charm with
contemporary sophistication, and further expands the brand’s presence in one of
our key markets, offering guests and World of Hyatt members exceptional
experiences in sought-after destinations.”
Christophe
Bourret, Président du Groupe Matmut, highlights, “Matmut has a profound
connection with Rouen, where it was founded more than 60 years ago. Every day,
we contribute to enhancing the appeal of the region. We take pride in having
preserved a historic monument in Rouen through this project. The spirit of the
former school is revived through the aesthetics of the Hyatt Place Rouen. This
establishment will welcome tourists seeking a serene and elegant place to stay,
providing high-quality services including premium guest rooms, wellness
facilities, and spaces for meetings and events. We eagerly look forward to
seeing this magnificent place come to life once more.”
