The Hyatt pipeline that has grown one-and-a-half times in the last 12 months, and the US hotelier is looking to introduce more properties under its newly launched brands, including its young, millennial-friendly brand, Hyatt Place.

Just 12 months after opening its first Hyatt Place in the region – Hyatt Place Al Rigga in Deira – Hyatt Hotels launched another property under the brand, just a 12 minute drive away from the site of the original property.

Hyatt Place Dubai/ Baniyas Square is focused on both the business and leisure segments, offering 126 guest rooms, embracing technology and design that meets 24/7 lifestyle requirements of millennials.

The group, under the guidance of Fulton, has also managed to add to four new operational properties – up from 10 last year to 14. Fulton says employees are at the core of its goals, he comments: “With the help of my HR colleagues and teams across our hotels and corporate offices in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South West Asia, we connected with every one of our hotels and helped them to understand how to embed our purpose into every guest
experience, every partnership deal and every colleague interaction.”
