A Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Société d'Investissement Hôtelière EPE SPA for a Hyatt Regency hotel to be located at Houari Boumediene Airport in Algiers, Algeria.
The hotel, expected to open late 2018, will mark the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Algeria.
This will add to Hyatt’s growing brand presence in Africa, following the openings of Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay in Morocco and Park Hyatt Zanzibar in Tanzania in 2015, which brought the total number of Hyatt-branded hotels in Africa to six.
"This is a landmark moment for Hyatt – Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport will be the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Algeria and further demonstrates the company’s commitment to growing its brand footprint in Algeria and throughout Africa,” said Peter Norman, senior vice president, acquisitions and development – Europe, Africa, and Middle East for Hyatt, in a statement.
Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport will be part of a wider airport expansion: the 326-room hotel will be situated directly opposite the airport’s new terminal and will be the only terminal-linked hotel.

The hotel will provide dedicated airline lounges, a Regency Club lounge, a rooftop swimming pool and a large lobby with an all-day dining restaurant. There will be a variety of lounge and seating areas, and more than 460m2 of meeting and event space.
“We are delighted to be working on our first project with Hyatt and to introduce the Hyatt Regency brand to Algeria,” said Hamid Melzi, président directeur general, Société d'Investissement Hôtelière EPA SPA.
