Hyatt today announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement with InTown Hospitality GmbH for a Hyatt House hotel in Düsseldorf, Germany, which is expected to open January 2017. Hyatt House Düsseldorf will mark the brand’s entry into Europe, and is the first franchise agreement for a Hyatt-branded hotel in the region, an important step toward increasing Hyatt’s brand representation throughout Europe.
“We are delighted to announce plans for the first Hyatt House hotel in Europe,” said Peter Fulton, group president – Europe, Africa and Middle East, Hyatt. “We continue to grow the Hyatt House brand thoughtfully in key markets around the world, and we believe Hyatt House Düsseldorf will provide an exciting new hotel experience for guests visiting this important European city.”
