Hyatt Hotels Corporation has unveiled its newest addition, Hyatt Place Rouen, strategically located in the heart of Rouen, France.
The opening marks a significant expansion of the Hyatt Place brand in a region renowned for its rich history, picturesque landscapes, and vibrant culture.
Housed within a former teacher training college dating back to 1886, Hyatt Place Rouen marries the city’s storied past with modern luxury.

Guests can immerse themselves in this historic ambiance while enjoying the comforts of contemporary amenities.
The interior design of the hotel draws inspiration from Rouen’s scenic surroundings. A steel blue palette mirrors the Seine River and the dramatic skies of Normandy, while muted yellow tones pay homage to the region’s famed Calvados spirits and warm local culture. The hotel also features artistic references to the old town’s half-timbered buildings, enhancing the connection to Rouen’s heritage.

The hotel’s strategic location, just two hours from Paris, provides easy access to both the vibrant city life and the tranquil countryside of Normandy, making it an excellent choice for both leisure and business travelers.
Hyatt Place Rouen offers 85 elegantly appointed king rooms, designed with a focus on comfort and functionality. Deluxe and Executive suites come with additional luxuries such as a coffee station, bathrobe, and slippers, ensuring a memorable stay.
For dining, guests can visit the Zoom restaurant, which features an outdoor terrace and garden, offering authentic French regional cuisine. The restaurant’s menu is complemented by a selection of local wines and handcrafted mocktails, providing a true taste of the region.
The hotel’s wellness facilities are equally impressive, including a 52-square-meter fitness center, a 22-square-meter heated pool, and a luxurious 316-square-meter spa. With treatment rooms offering services from renowned brands, guests can indulge in a rejuvenating experience during their stay.
