Hyatt Hotels
Corporation (NYSE: H) today announces the opening of Grand Hyatt
Barcelona, the first urban Grand Hyatt hotel in Spain, located in one of the
most visited cities in the world. Marking the fifth Grand Hyatt hotel operating
in Europe, this expansion also reflects Hyatt’s accelerated brand growth in
Spain. Hyatt offers the fourth-largest hospitality portfolio in Spain by room
count, spanning eight different brands and 50 properties in the country.
Grand Hyatt Barcelona is poised to redefine the
city experience, situated in the exclusive Alta Barcelona area. Just minutes
from historical treasures like the Monastery of Pedralbes and iconic landmarks
such as Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona, it serves as the ideal destination for
exploration. With its array of gastronomic delights and a bespoke spa, Grand
Hyatt Barcelona offers not just accommodation but a destination within the city
– a haven for those in search of a unique escape or the perfect setting for
conferences and meetings, located in one of the top twenty meeting and event
destinations in the world.
“Grand
Hyatt Barcelona is another charismatic example of the iconic Grand Hyatt brand,
offering a captivating accommodation set against impressive architecture and
bold design,” said Franck Sibille, Area Vice President & General Manager of
Grand Hyatt Barcelona. “We are delighted to welcome guests seeking immersive
experiences in the pulse of the local Spanish culture and we are proud of the
dynamic and unexpected getaway that we have created.”
Art
Deco-Inspired Guestrooms
The
hotel offers 465 meticulously curated guestrooms, including 49 signature
suites, and one lavish penthouse, which embody a blend of grandness and
sophistication. Infused with Art Deco-inspired design, each room boasts the
latest amenities, such as cosmetic products by Natura Bissé, creating an
atmosphere of sublime indulgence.
Memorable
Dining Experiences
At
the heart of the hotel's allure are four distinctive dining destinations that
offer a fusion of locally inspired and internationally influenced flavors.
Noteworthy among them is Maymanta, the Peruvian restaurant perched on the
19th-floor rooftop, providing breathtaking 360-degree views of Barcelona. Chef
Omar Malpartida invites guests on a culinary voyage through the South American
landscapes of Perú and its diverse and authentic flavors. Meanwhile, Leña,
the steakhouse helmed by renowned Michelin Chef, Dani Garcia, set to open later
this year, combines innovation and tradition, offering elegance, savoir-faire
and technique as guests witness the culinary art of the embers. For those
seeking a delightful spot to enjoy spectacular food and drink, Sofia Bar &
Tapas offers a unique blend of Mediterranean cuisine and tapas paired with
signature cocktails, which guests can indulge in on the exclusive terrace. For
those seeking sweets, Philosophia is a boutique coffee shop boasting a
welcoming open-air terrace overlooking Avenida Diagonal and the Alta Barcelona.
Philosophia offers delicious pastries, fruit, and salads.
Elevated
Wellness
Guests
can indulge in world-class wellness facilities at the exclusive Oasis Spa by
Natura Bissé, a first-of-its-kind collaboration with the renowned Spanish
brand. The spa offers a haven for relaxation with its 807-square-foot
(75-square-meter) pool and waterfall, a Turkish steam area, a sauna, and
private cabins for signature treatments by Natura Bissé. Guests longing to
disconnect and enjoy a rejuvenating experience at Grand Hyatt Barcelona can
enjoy an exclusive cabin area with its own hot tub, Turkish bath, and sauna.
The hotel also offers an outdoor pool complete with a terrace, sunbeds, pool
bar and restaurant.
Grand
Gatherings
The
hotel incorporates 22 meeting rooms over 35,000 square feet (3,400 square
meters), combining captivating settings with state-of-the-art equipment and
unparalleled service. The crown jewel of the meeting space facilities is the
hotel's 9,300-square-foot (864-square-meter) event space, designed to
perfection for hosting conferences and large-scale events.
Commenting
on the opening, Javier Águila, Group President, EAME, Hyatt said, “Grand Hyatt
Barcelona celebrates Hyatt's dedication to unparalleled luxury and exceptional
experiences. An iconic and emblematic landmark in Barcelona, the hotel embraces
the lavish style of the Grand Hyatt brand, coupled with a captivating
experience. As the second Grand Hyatt property in Spain, today’s opening
reflects our accelerated brand growth in Spain and more broadly in Europe,
Africa, and the Middle East, and showcases our continued commitment to
delivering world-class hospitality.”
John
O’ Driscoll, Global Co-Head of Real Estate, AXA IM Alts said, “The successful
opening of the Grand Hyatt Barcelona follows a tailor-made refurbishment and
rebrand of the hotel since we acquired this property last year. During that
time, our asset management team has used its significant repositioning
expertise and local market knowledge to improve the specifications and
amenities of the property while retaining its historical heritage.
Additionally, built upon AXA IM Alts’ foundation of commitment to sustainability,
the hotel has undergone significant improvements to enhance decarbonization by
phasing out fossil fuels as the primary source of energy and has achieved a
LEED Gold certification for energy efficiency. This certification, recognized
globally as a symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership, underscores
our dedication to minimizing environmental impact while providing exceptional
service to our guests. Thanks to all these actions together with the memorable
experience associated with the Grand Hyatt brand, visitors will benefit from a
world-class hospitality experience complete with modern luxury touches while
enjoying a range of culinary and entertainment experiences.”
