Hyatt Hotels Corporation recently announced the official opening of the Hyatt Place Rouen hotel in the city centre of the Normandy capital. Hyatt Place Rouen joins Hyatt Place Charles de Gaulle Airport in extending the brand's presence in France.
Housed in a historic building dating back to 1886, formerly a teacher training college, the Hyatt Place Rouen offers 85 rooms. The hotel's interior design is inspired by local architecture and the natural environment. Elements such as stripes, a reference to the half-timbering of the old town, add a local touch to the hotel's contemporary style. The project was supported by Matmut and the establishment is operated by Cycas Hospitality.
The hotel's Zoom restaurant, with its terrace and garden, serves regional French cuisine. The Market offers a selection of croissants, pastries, salads, sandwiches and homemade mocktails for a quick meal.
For events, the hotel offers 280 m² of flexible meeting space, divisible into two rooms, suitable for both business meetings and private receptions. Finally, the hotel boasts extensive wellness facilities, including a fitness centre, swimming pool and 316 m² spa.
“Hyatt Place Rouen captures the essence of Rouen’s rich history while providing the modern traveller with a comfortable, convenient and memorable stay, whether visiting for a short business break, or a leisurely getaway to explore the region’s culture and history. Hyatt Place Rouen marries classical charm with contemporary sophistication, and further expands the brand’s presence in one of our key markets, offering guests and World of Hyatt members exceptional experiences in sought-after destinations.” - Michel Morauw, Managing Director Hyatt EAME North
“Matmut has a profound connection with Rouen, where it was founded more than 60 years ago. Every day, we contribute to enhancing the appeal of the region. We take pride in having preserved a historic monument in Rouen through this project. The spirit of the former school is revived through the aesthetics of the Hyatt Place Rouen. This establishment will welcome tourists seeking a serene and elegant place to stay, providing high-quality services including premium guest rooms, wellness facilities, and spaces for meetings and events. We eagerly look forward to seeing this magnificent place come to life once more.” - Christophe Bourret, Président du Groupe Matmut
