Hyatt Announces Plans for Hyatt Centric Boulevard Batumi in The Republic of Georgia
/We are focused on growing Hyatt’s brand footprint in locations that matter most to our guests, World of Hyatt members, customers, and owners. We are thrilled to collaborate with Alliance City LLC to bring the Hyatt Centric brand to Batumi, a popular Black Sea destination, as we continue to expand Hyatt’s brand presence across European destinations,” said Takuya Aoyama, vice president of development for Europe and Africa, Hyatt. “Batumi is a delightful place to visit with unique culture, and we look forward to welcoming savvy travelers who are eager to explore all that the city has to offer."
Batumi, Georgia’s second largest city, was named Europe’s leading emerging tourism destination by World Travel Awards in 2019 and 2020, making it a perfect location to introduce the Hyatt Centric brand – one of Hyatt’s fastest growing lifestyle brands – to Georgia.
“We are excited to work alongside Hyatt on this development and bring the Hyatt Centric brand’s spirit to Batumi,“ said Akaki Songulia, CEO of Alliance City LLC. “The Hyatt Centric brand is synonymous with adventure and being in the center of the action, which makes it a perfect addition to our existing and ever-growing portfolio in Europe.”
Hyatt Centric Boulevard Batumi is expected to mark the ninth Hyatt Centric in Europe, joining the ski resort Hyatt Centric La Rosiere in the French Alps, Hyatt Centric The Liberties Dublin, Hyatt Centric Levent Istanbul, Hyatt Centric Gran Via Madrid, Hyatt Centric Milan Centrale and Hyatt Centric Murano Venice, as well as Hyatt Centric Cambridge, which is slated to open in 2021, and Hyatt Centric Reykjavík, which is expected to debut in 2022.
