A Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Société d'Investissement Hôtelière EPE SPA for a Hyatt Regency hotel to be located at Houari Boumediene Airport in Algiers, Algeria.

The 326-room Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport which is expected to open late 2018, will mark the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Algeria.

Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport will add to Hyatt’s growing brand presence in Africa, following the openings of Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay in Morocco and Park Hyatt Zanzibar in Tanzania in 2015.

Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport will be part of a wider airport expansion Algiers. It will be situated directly opposite the airport’s new terminal and will be the only terminal-linked hotel.

Ideally located at the entry to the airport, Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport will feature dedicated airline lounges, Regency Club lounge, rooftop swimming pool and a large lobby with a 24/7 dining restaurant.

The hotel will also offer a variety of lounge and seating areas to provide guests with the spaces they need, whether for work or relaxation, and more than 4,950 square feet of meeting and event space.
