CHICAGO (May 22, 2018) - Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today that a #hyatt affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement with both Henderson Park and Hines for the first Grand #hyatt #hotel in Greece, Grand #hyatt Athens. The opening is expected in Q3 2018. The #hotel will be managed by Kokari Limited and will deliver bold and vibrant luxury for guests in this iconic destination.

“We are thrilled to announce plans for the first #hyatt property in Athens with Henderson Park, Hines and Kokari,” said Takuya Aoyama, vice president, development for Eastern Europe, Russia & CIS at #hyatt. “We have long sought to bring the Grand #hyatt brand’s celebratory luxury to the Greek capital. This deal represents a significant milestone in Southeast Europe, an important growth market for #hyatt with recent #hyatt development announcements in Turkey and Bulgaria.”

The 310-room #hotel will be centrally located on Syngrou Avenue in Athens’ Koukaki district, close to golf courses, restaurants and within walking distance of Filopappos Hill. Grand #hyatt Athens will be uniquely designed to reflect its Greek culture with dramatic architecture and innovative design. First-class accommodations will welcome guests along with a spectacular rooftop bar and restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool and a stunning view of the Acropolis. Additional amenities will include best-in-class food and beverage venues, more than 11,600 square feet of meeting space as well as a spa and fitness center.

“Our investment into Grand #hyatt Athens was driven by its potential as a luxury asset with a historic heritage,” said Nick Weber, founding partner of Henderson Park. “Grand #hyatt is one of the world’s leading premium brands and working with #hyatt on this #hotel is an endorsement of our ambitious strategy and a strong addition to Henderson Park’s portfolio of iconic European hotels. We hope this marks the first stage of building a rewarding, long-term relationship with #hyatt.”

The Greek capital is one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations with over 4.5 million visitors a year. With its premium offerings and central location, Grand #hyatt Athens will appeal to business and leisure travelers who seek exceptional settings.

“We are proud to work with Hines, Henderson Park and the Grand #hyatt brand for the operation of the new Grand #hyatt Athens,” said Tina and Yannis Daskalantonakis, co-founders of Y&T Daskalantonakis Knossian Group, which owns Kokari Limited. “With a global mindset behind our #hospitality, we are confident that the #hotel will meet our guests’ needs.” 

Paul Gomopoulos, managing director, Hines Greece, added, “We are delighted to work with #hyatt on this Grand #hyatt #hotel, a global brand with the caliber of offerings we need for this market. We look forward to delivering an experience in Athens worthy of celebration.”

The #hotel is currently undergoing a major renovation and will mark the second #hyatt #hotel in Greece – joining its sister property #hyatt Regency Thessaloniki.
