Due to open in late 2015 the first Hyatt Place in the UK is to be located close to Heathrow Airport. The 170 Room Hyatt Place Heathrow/Hayes will be the first Hyatt purpose built for the chain in the UK in recent years. It will increase their properties to 4 in the UK.

Hyatt is looking to recruit the new General Manager and you can apply via their website.

Key requirements are:

You are an excellent host and have superior guest service skills. You can lead a team and good problem solving, effective organisational, administrative and interpersonal skills are your strength. A Bachelor’s Degree in Hotel/Restaurant Management or Business is a plus. We are looking for a candidate that is currently in a comparable role or has 2-5 years of managerial experience in either Rooms or Food & Beverage. Insights into Sales and Marketing as well as financial understanding with experience in budgeting is desired.

Personally I shall be delighted to have another property in the UK from Hyatt, my preferred chain. In addition I hope it will be readily accessible from Heathrow, hopefully not via the awful Hotel Hoppa service.
