Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the opening of Hyatt Regency Erbil Residences in Iraq. Comprised of 93 furnished serviced apartments, Hyatt Regency Erbil Residences offers long-term accommodations in the Gulan Park development.
As part of Hyatt’s planned brand expansion in the Middle East, the adjoining 204-guestroom hotel, Hyatt Regency Erbil, is expected to open in 2026. Both properties will be located next to World Trade Center Erbil, which, as a member of World Trade Center Associations, acts as a home for a global business network for trade and investment both locally and internationally.
As part of the Hyatt Regency brand, Hyatt Regency Erbil Residences are intuitively designed with productivity in mind and service the international clientele of the city’s growing global community. A one-minute drive from Erbil International Airport, the residences and the adjoining hotel will provide an energizing hub for travelers seeking a high-touch, extended-stay experience. Visitors can enjoy convenient and direct access to Gulan Park’s luxury shopping mall and professional offices as well as the area’s local cafes and bars.
“We are incredibly excited to announce the opening of Hyatt Regency Erbil Residences,” said Tarkan Aksoy, general manager at Hyatt Regency Erbil Residences. “With a thriving business hub at our doorstep, we are focused on delivering high-quality, energizing service to guests, ensuring that they get the most out of their stay in Iraq. With the opening of the residences, we look forward to laying down foundations in the area for the forthcoming Hyatt Regency Erbil, ahead of its expected opening in 2026.”
