CHICAGO, IL – Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced today the opening of Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), marking the fifth Hyatt-branded hotel in the city. A sixth Hyatt-branded hotel, Hyatt Place Dubai/Baniyas Square, is expected to open in Dubai later this year. Each of the six properties is developed by wasl Hospitality, a subsidiary of wasl Asset Management, reflecting the strong and long-lasting relationship between the developer and Hyatt.

With its two iconic high-rise towers piercing the sky at 164 meters/538 feet, Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights is ideally located next to the resurgent Dubai Creek, providing elaborate views across the water and stunning city skyline. The hotel offers easy access to Dubai International Airport, which is only 10 minutes away. Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Wafi City, The Dubai Mall and the cultural heritage districts are easily accessible by all means of transportation, and Dubai Healthcare City metro station is located a short walk from the hotel.

“We are delighted to work with wasl Hospitality yet again to open the fifth hotel under a Hyatt brand in Dubai – the definitive tourism and corporate travel destination of the Middle East,” said Pablo Graf, senior vice president of operations, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Southwest Asia. “Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights represents an evolution of the Hyatt Regency brand, with energizing interiors and amenities that put everything at business and leisure guests’ fingertips, so it’s easy to stay connected to the people and things that matter most.”

The 464-room hotel offers distinctive design features, including a spacious lobby filled with 1,000 square meters/more than 3,200 square feet of plant walls, flowers and greenery, along with soothing water features and a towering glass ceiling embossed with Swarovski crystals. The open-to-the-sky view helps to bring the outdoor space into the heart of the hotel and illuminates the interior with the city’s year-round sunshine.

The hotel also features 76 luxury suites, including two Royal Suites, each stretching the entire length of the hotel’s top two stories. One of the suites features a wrap-around outdoor terrace with a 360-degree view, and the other is designed to include a 7-meter-/23-feet-high dome ceiling and skylights. All suites include access to the exclusive Regency Club lounge on the 32nd floor, providing views of the historic Dubai creek. The Regency Club embodies Hyatt Regency’s ‘hotel within a hotel’ concept, offering an exclusive and elegant space for distinguished guests to gather, relax and enjoy complimentary breakfast and cocktails.

Our vision seeks to redefine the guest experience in Dubai and offer a level of service excellence that is warm, energizing and engaging,” said Mathieu Greppo, general manager, Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights.
