Hyatt enters Algeria with Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport. The property is the eighth Hyatt in Africa, following two properties in Morocco, two in Tanzania, one in Egypt, one in South Africa and one in Ethiopia.

The 320-guestroom hotel is marketed toward both business and leisure travelers. It’s currently the only hotel directly connected to Houari Boumediene Airport, close to the newest terminal. Amenities include dedicated airline lounges, a Regency Club lounge, pool and large lobby.

On-site dining includes the Moorish Palmette Restaurant, offering fresh ingredients and cultural focus. The Palmette Bar offers craft cocktails and light bites, while Palmette Market sells grab ’n go sandwiches, salads, desserts and drinks.

“Algeria is a commercial hub in Africa, and we’re excited to see the Hyatt Regency brand enter the market with the opening of the hotel,” said Pascal Leprou, general manager, Hyatt Regency Algiers Airport. “With a variety of well-designed work and social spaces, our busy guests can easily stay productive while traveling. We anticipate a strong reception of the property, from both the region as well as international travelers.”

Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh Review

Phnom Penh as we imagined it stretches beneath us: a picturesque, low-rise mix of Southeast Asian and French Colonial styles. When the inhabitants of those buildings look back at us here in the Fairfield by Marriott hotel in Chip Mong Tower, they see the future.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
