Hyatt Hotels
Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today that a Hyatt affiliate has
entered into an agreement with Hoteles Color Especial S.L. for Thompson
Seville. This new hotel will mark the first Hyatt hotel in the fourth-largest
city in Spain, and one of the most attractive locations in Spain, which is the
second-largest tourist destination in the world.
Anticipated to open in 2026, the 101-room luxury
lifestyle property will be the fourth Thompson Hotels property in Europe,
joining Thompson
Madrid, which opened in 2022, and the previously announced Thompson
Rome, expected to open mid-2024, and Thompson
Vienna, which is slated to join the Hyatt portfolio in 2025.
With 18 Thompson Hotels currently open across 16
cities globally, plans for Thompson Seville are pivotal to the brand’s growth
plans and continues Hyatt’s growth momentum across the most sought-after
destinations in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
The Thompson Hotels brand is renowned for
channelling a destination’s local creative energy, combining distinctive design
and culinary sophistication. With the cultural areas of music, art, fashion,
design and cuisine at the heart of the Thompson Hotels brand experience, the
properties serve as a dynamic home-base for tastemakers, emerging creatives and
culturally astute travelers to connect with one another on what inspires them.
Home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites and
bursting with flamenco music, Andalusian gastronomy and antique charm, Seville
is a perfect base for a hotel that aims to curate the best of each
destination’s culture as part of the guest experience. The hotel will provide
the perfect setting for guests to immerse themselves in local culture both in
the hotel and out, in a privileged location within walking distance to
Seville’s vibrant city centre.
“We have ambitious plans for our brand expansion in
Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and today’s announcement is a true
testament to our continued success in strengthening our position and
ever-growing brand footprint in the region,” said Javier Águila, group
president, EAME, Hyatt. “We are honored to work with Hoteles Color Especial
S.L. as we start our journey in a new city for Hyatt – the vibrant Seville, in
which we aim to create yet another unique and luxurious experience for leisure
travelers. The Thompson Hotels brand has a vast potential in our region, and
particularly in cities that combine a strong leisure and lifestyle offering.”
The hotel’s guestrooms and suites will be carefully
designed and styled to make guests discover a new sense of modern luxury in a
city that combines an extraordinary artistic and architectural legacy with an
unrivalled cultural scene. Thompson Seville will also boast a restaurant, a
stunning rooftop bar with a pool, dedicated meeting rooms, coworking space, and
a gym, among other amenities.
The expansion of the Thompson Hotels brand is
reflective of Hyatt’s accelerated brand growth in Spain. Hyatt’s Spanish
portfolio spans 11 different brands. With the combination of iconic properties
in cities such as Madrid and Barcelona with its portfolio of resorts in the
Canary and Balearic archipelagos, Hyatt offers the fourth-largest hospitality
portfolio in the country by room count.
