Pakistan
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced that a Hyatt
affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement with FP Global
(Private) Limited for Hyatt Regency Lahore DHA, which will mark the
first Hyatt-branded hotel in Pakistan and a significant step

Asia. Situated within Defence Housing Authority Phase 6 (DHA-6),
the property will be operated by Valor Hospitality Partners and is
expected to open its doors in 2024.

Currently under renovation, the 94-guestroom property will
feature a range of exquisite dining options with six food and
beverage outlets including all-day dining venues, two specialty
restaurants, a lobby lounge, the Regency Club, and The Market, the
cafe-style option where guests can grab a snack anytime. Thoughtful
amenities like separate male and female fitness centers and
swimming pools will help guests rejuvenate and stay on track with
their health schedules; while approximately 8,600 square feet (800
square meters) of flexible events and meeting space, including a
ballroom, will make the hotel the go-to venue for any occasion.
“We are delighted to announce our first property in Lahore,
Pakistan with Hyatt Regency Lahore DHA, and thrilled to collaborate
on this project with Hyatt," said Julien Bergue, Co-Founder and
Managing Partner, Valor Hospitality Partners Middle East & CIS.

continuously growing collaboration with Hyatt, we are confident the
hotel will offer outstanding experiences in a premium location,
positioning it as a prominent addition to the hospitality sector of
Lahore.”

The hotel will be in close proximity to Allama Iqbal
International Airport, making it an ideal destination for travelers
looking for convenience. Not only will the hotel’s location be
prime for exploring the city’s renowned food scene, but it will
also provide an ideal base for travelers to take in the major
attractions of one of Pakistan’s most vibrant and culturally rich
cities, including the Badshahi Mosque, Shalimar Gardens and Lahore
Fort.
Additionally, Lahore’s proximity to the capital city of
Islamabad, along with convenient connectivity provided by Lahore
Junction railway station, which is situated within a 30 minute
drive from the hotel, will provide the perfect opportunity for
guests to explore the different cultures and attractions that the
region has to offer.
