Hyatt Regency expansion continues

The first Hyatt-branded hotel in Malta is on the way after the company signed a franchise deal with Bay Street Holdings to develop a property in the coastal community of St Julian’s. The resort is expected to open in 2021.

Hyatt regional vice president development for Europe Guido Frederich said Malta was developing quickly as a popular destination for business as well as leisure travel, providing “a great opportunity” to build on the Hyatt Regency presence in southern Europe.

The Hyatt Regency Malta will be a short walk from St Julian’s main attractions and less than 20min from Malta’s international airport and the World Heritage City of Valletta.

Features of the property will include flexible event spaces and a five-storey underground car park, which Frederich said would provide “a stress-free environment for corporate events and social gatherings”.

Bay Street Holdings chief executive Albert Galea added: “St Julian’s is one of Malta’s most in-demand destinations and guests at the Hyatt Regency Malta will enjoy the seamless, intuitive experiences the brand is well recognised for.”

The property joins a growing Hyatt Regency portfolio in Europe, joining the Nice Palais de la Méditerranée, the soon-to-open Barcelona Fira and Hesperia Madrid, and the recently-announced Hyatt Regency Lisbon.
