True to the business core of the Hyatt Regency brand, the hotel will offer expansive meeting and conference space equipped with state­of­the­art technology. The Hyatt Regency Dusseldorf will be Hyatt’s fifth property in Germany.

“We are extremely pleased that Hyatt has been appointed to manage the newest hotel in Germany’s important fashion and design center,” said Gebhard Rainer, Senior Vice President Hyatt International ­Europe, Africa, Middle East. “Hyatt offers its guests a contemporary environment with international standards and will be a perfect match to the pulsating city of Dusseldorf.
