Hyatt to launch Hyatt Place hotel in AlUla

Hyatt has signed a management agreement with the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) for the first Hyatt-branded hotel in AlUla, Hyatt Place AlUla.

 

The hotel, set to open by the end of 2025, will add 215 keys to the Hyatt room portfolio in Saudi Arabia and offer a new destination for World of Hyatt members and guests visiting the region.

 

The hotel will feature 215 modern guestrooms, two food and beverage outlets, meeting space, a pool, and a fitness center, providing comfortable stays for both work and leisure travellers.

 

“We look forward to adding Hyatt Place AlUla to our growing portfolio of properties in the region,” said Ludwig Bouldoukian, Regional Vice President, Development, Middle East and Africa, Hyatt. “This significant project underscores our commitment to expanding our brand presence in key leisure and business markets. We are thrilled that this upcoming hotel will provide more choice to our World of Hyatt members looking to explore the culture and beauty of AlUla.”

 

Hyatt Place AlUla will participate in World of Hyatt, the industry's fastest-growing loyalty program, offering member-only offers, room upgrades, free nights, and late checkout.

 

AlUla, home to Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hegra, and other heritage sites, is known for its green oasis of verdant palm trees, citrus, and other native flora.

 

Located 25 kilometers northwest of AlUla International Airport, Hyatt Place AlUla offers seamless connectivity for international and domestic travellers.

 

Abeer AlAkel, CEO of Royal Commission of AlUla (RCU), said, “The agreement with Hyatt advances RCU’s regeneration of AlUla as a great place to live, work and visit. Hyatt Place AlUla will create jobs for the community and add to the range of accommodation options for tourists and business people. Collaborations with established and knowledgeable operators such as Hyatt support the regeneration of AlUla County and honor its legacy as a hospitable meeting place for people from diverse cultures.”

 

The hotel's prime central location is in proximity to key tourist attractions, including AlUla Old Town, Jabal Ikmah mountain, and the cultural oasis. These treasures are central to RCU's vision to establish AlUla as a leading global destination for cultural and natural heritage. -TradeArabia News Service
