US-based hotel operator Hyatt Hotels Corporation said on Tuesday that the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Bulgaria, Hyatt Regency Sofia, has opened in the capital city.
“The opening of the hotel marks an important milestone for Hyatt, thoughtfully growing its brand presence in Southeast Europe,” the hotel operator said in a statement.
The five-star Hyatt Regency Sofia features 183 rooms and is located in the centre of Sofia.
In April, real estate consultancy Cushman&Wakefield Forton told SeeNews that the opening of Hyatt Regency Sofia, intially planned for the spring of 2020, will be postponed due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
Chicago-headquartered Hyatt Hotels Corporation is a leading global hospitality company offering 21 premier brands. As of June 30, 2020, the company’s portfolio included more than 900 hotel, all-inclusive, and wellness resort properties in 65 countries across six continents.
