The four Hyatt Place hotels in Dubai are competitively-priced with a range of amenities that appeal to both business and leisure travellers

Positioned as upscale properties, there are more than 400 Hyatt Place hotels around the world. These hotels are known for their modern architecture, offerings and pricing, and are usually located in urban locations with easy access to the city’s main business and leisure attractions. Many of these properties feature well-priced dining options too, as well as a wide range of services including business centres and free wifi for business travellers, and offerings such as complimentary buffet breakfasts. Recently, it launched a “Kids Go Free” policy, wherein two children up to the age of 12 can stay free along with their parents. “Hyatt Place Dubai hotels are designed for today’s multi-tasking travellers who we call 'smart self-reliants.' These travellers require a cutting-edge setting that is also reasonably priced, has open and inclusive areas, and promotes interaction with others,” says Bhishmaraj Singh, general manager at Hyatt Place Dubai Hotels and Residences. In Dubai, there are four Hyatt Place hotels – here’s a closer look at each of them.
