Hyatt Announces The Opening Of Three Hotels Under The JdV By Hyatt Brand In Sweden

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:H) today announced the opening of three boutique hotels in Sweden under the JdV by Hyatt brand. Story Hotel Riddargatan and Story Hotel Signalfabriken in Stockholm, and Story Hotel Studio Malmö in Malmö, Sweden– all join Hyatt's independent collection portfolio, significantly increasing Hyatt's brand presence in Sweden. The three hotels join Hotell Reisen bringing the total number of Hyatt properties in the country to four.

The JdV by Hyatt brand caters to free-spirited guests seeking vibrant and socially inclusive stays – bringing people from all walks of life together through joy-driven services. Deeply rooted in the culture of its local neighborhood, each hotel is as unique as the individuals who enter through its doors, providing guests with a range of locally inspired programming that allows them to connect authentically with the surrounding community during their stay. With modern, Scandinavian design that reflects the edgy nature of both Swedish cities, the hotels offer amenities for business and leisure travelers alike.

"We are truly passionate about the neighbourhoods in which our hotels are located – so much so that we ensured the design of each hotel was a true extension of its surroundings and authentically reflected the local culture", said Alexander Hederstrom, general manager of Story Hotel Riddargatan and Story Hotel Signalfabriken. "This is why we are so proud and excited to be joining JdV by Hyatt – a brand that truly recognizes and celebrates the importance of local community."

"We are excited to welcome guests through our doors and share with them the spectacular views of the ocean and the beautiful city of Malmö from our rooftop. Story Hotel Studio Malmö is at the heart of the city, only a five minute walk from the Malmö Central Station," said Sebastian Kamieniarczyk, general manager of Story Hotel Studio Malmö. "With each hotel's unique location, there really is no better place for guests to stay when coming to explore the city and immerse themselves in the local culture".

Story Hotel Riddargatan, Story Hotel Signalfabriken and Story Hotel Studio Malmö all feature individually designed boutique guestrooms, vibrant public spaces and food and beverage offerings for both visitors and residents.
