Hotel Palace Berlin to become Hyatt Regency in 2027

Germany

The 278-room City West property will undergo a phased renovation before joining Hyatt Regency and World of Hyatt in early 2027

Hyatt is expanding its presence in Berlin with plans to convert the Hotel Palace Berlin into the Hyatt Regency Palace Berlin. A Hyatt affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement for the property, which is expected to join the Hyatt Regency brand and the World of Hyatt loyalty programme in early 2027.

The established hotel in Berlin’s City West will undergo a phased renovation ahead of the transition. Located opposite Berlin Zoo and within walking distance of Kurfürstendamm and the Europa-Center, the property combines a central leisure location with extensive facilities for meetings and business travel.

278 rooms and suites in City West

The Hotel Palace Berlin currently offers 239 guestrooms and 39 suites. Its facilities include the beef45 restaurant, two bars, a spa and swimming pool as well as a club lounge that is expected to be redesigned as a Regency Club.

Meetings and events are another major part of the property. Around 2,600 square metres of event space are spread across 18 venues, with capacity for gatherings of up to 900 guests.

The planned modernization will focus particularly on guestrooms and public areas. Hyatt says the redesign will introduce new social spaces while adapting the accommodation to the Hyatt Regency concept for business and leisure travelers.

Hotel Palace management sees benefits from global brand

“We are excited to join the Hyatt family,” says Michael Frenzel, General Manager of Hotel Palace Berlin. “This collaboration will allow us to combine the unique character and quality of our hotel with the global strength of the Hyatt Regency brand.”

Frenzel expects the affiliation to provide additional benefits for guests, customers and employees while allowing the property to continue building on its existing position in the Berlin hotel market.

Gabriela Basovska, Director Development Northern Europe at Hyatt, points in particular to the location and meeting business.

“Hotel Palace Berlin has built an exceptional reputation over many years, and we're excited to welcome it to the Hyatt Regency brand,” she says. “Its prime City West location, premium hospitality and exceptional meeting facilities make it a natural fit for a brand built around bringing people together.”

Fourth Hyatt Regency hotel planned in Germany

The Berlin property is expected to become the fourth Hyatt Regency hotel in Germany. The brand is already represented by Hyatt Regency hotels in Cologne, Düsseldorf and Mainz.

For Hyatt, the conversion also strengthens a growing portfolio in the German capital. The group is already represented in Berlin by Grand Hyatt Berlin, Me and All Hotel Berlin East Side and Lindner Hotel Berlin Ku’damm, part of JdV by Hyatt, as well as five properties affiliated with Mr & Mrs Smith.

Across Germany, Hyatt had 25 hotels with more than 5,000 rooms under eight brands at the end of the second quarter of 2026.

Hyatt Regency grows beyond 245 hotels

Globally, Hyatt Regency comprises more than 245 hotels in over 50 countries. The full-service brand focuses on a combination of business travel, meetings, events and leisure stays.

Further details on the renovation and the exact opening date of Hyatt Regency Palace Berlin are due to be announced as the project progresses.
