Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced that a Hyatt
affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement with FP Global (Private)
Limited for Hyatt Regency Lahore DHA, which will mark the first Hyatt-branded
hotel in Pakistan and a significant step forward in Hyatt’s plans to expand its
brand portfolio in Southwest Asia. Situated within Defence Housing Authority
Phase 6 (DHA-6), the property will be operated by Valor Hospitality Partners
and is expected to open its doors in 2024.
“We look forward to collaborating with the FP Global (Private) Limited
team and Valor Hospitality Partners to unveil the first Hyatt-branded hotel in
Pakistan with Hyatt Regency Lahore DHA,” said Sunjae Sharma, Managing Director,
Southwest Asia, Hyatt India Consultancy Pvt Ltd. “We are confident that this
hotel’s location, style and service will be attractive for both business and
leisure travelers alike, and we look forward to the introduction of the Hyatt
brand to guests visiting the region.”
Currently under renovation, the 94-guestroom property will feature a
range of exquisite dining options with six food and beverage outlets including
all-day dining venues, two specialty restaurants, a lobby lounge, the Regency
Club, and The Market, the cafe-style option where guests can grab a snack
anytime. Thoughtful amenities like separate male and female fitness centers and
swimming pools will help guests rejuvenate and stay on track with their health
schedules; while approximately 8,600 square feet (800 square meters) of
flexible events and meeting space, including a ballroom, will make the hotel
the go-to venue for any occasion.
“We are delighted to announce our first property in Lahore, Pakistan
with Hyatt Regency Lahore DHA, and thrilled to collaborate on this project with
Hyatt," said Julien Bergue, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Valor
Hospitality Partners Middle East & CIS. “Following our recent rapid
expansion in the Middle East, this destination is a natural extension
geographically, and with FP Global (Private) Limited as our reliable partners
and our continuously growing collaboration with Hyatt, we are confident the
hotel will offer outstanding experiences in a premium location, positioning it
as a prominent addition to the hospitality sector of Lahore.”
“We are honored to work alongside Hyatt to introduce the first
Hyatt-branded hotel to Pakistan under the Hyatt Regency brand, and are
confident that combining our premium hospitality expertise with Hyatt's
international operating standards will enable us to deliver a truly spectacular
experience to the numerous guests visiting Pakistan, as well as the local
community in the city of Lahore,” said Immad Ali Khan, CEO, FP Global (Private)
Limited.
The hotel will be in close proximity to Allama Iqbal International
Airport, making it an ideal destination for travelers looking for convenience.
Not only will the hotel’s location be prime for exploring the city’s renowned
food scene, but it will also provide an ideal base for travelers to take in the
major attractions of one of Pakistan’s most vibrant and culturally rich cities,
including the Badshahi Mosque, Shalimar Gardens and Lahore Fort.
Additionally, Lahore’s proximity to the capital city of Islamabad, along
with convenient connectivity provided by Lahore Junction railway station, which
is situated within a 30 minute drive from the hotel, will provide the perfect
opportunity for guests to explore the different cultures and attractions that
the region has to offer.
