Amsterdam-based hotel
management company Cycas Hospitality is to open its first hotels in France as
part of a significant expansion of the group that will see the addition of nearly
2,000 rooms over the next six months.
The group, which already
manages Staybridge Suites’ properties in Liverpool and Newcastle in the UK and the Element
Frankfurt Airport, is opening dual-brand Hyatt properties close to Paris Charles
de Gaulle Airport this month as part of a ten-hotel expansion for the group.
The new hotels, the
309-room Hyatt Place Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and the
121-suite Hyatt House, are located in Paris
Nord 2 International Business Park.
The group is also
opening new hotels under a range of brands across Europe between now and March
2021.
In January, the
company will open the 144-room Ibis Bridgwater in south-west England, the 227-room
all-suite Radisson Hotel & Suites Amsterdam South in Amstelveen and
the dual-brand 152-room Moxy and 92-room Residence Inn Slough.
February sees the opening of the 196-room Courtyard London City Airport, the 127-room Residence
Inn Brussels Airport and the 327-room Greet Darmstadt, the first of Accor’s
new economy, community-based properties outside
France.
In March, the group
opens the 280-room Hyatt Place London City East on Whitechapel Road in Aldgate,
close to the City of London.
Matt
Luscombe, chief executive officer of Cycas Hospitality, said: “Cycas has
worked hard to bring our distinctive hotel management style to France and to
build an exceptional leadership team here in Paris to open these hotels and
drive our further expansion. At a time when the hospitality industry is
desperately in need of good news, today is an extra special occasion.”
“With
this double-decker hotel close to Europe’s second largest airport and one of
the Ile-de-France’s busiest gateways, I can’t think of a better place to open
Cycas’s first two hotels in France. And, having built an exceptional leadership
team here in Paris to lead these properties and drive further expansion, we’re
well placed to kickstart a dynamic six months of openings for us across
Europe.”
