Hyatt Newsroom – News Releases

CHICAGO (August 1, 2025) – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today celebrated the opening of Hyatt Place Tallinn, marking its brand debut in Estonia and a significant milestone in the company’s continued strategic expansion across Europe. Located in the heart of Tallinn’s dynamic harbor district, just steps from the city center, Hyatt Place Tallinn is a welcoming place where guests are met with convenient amenities and experiences in a casual atmosphere, helping them balance the demands of work and life while on the road. Remarkably accessible for ferry travelers arriving from Helsinki and Stockholm, guests are a short walk from Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed Old Town neighborhood, known for its cobblestone streets, vibrant cafés, and medieval charm.

Surrounded by modern business hubs, cultural venues, and seaside promenades, Hyatt Place Tallinn connects guests to both the city’s commercial and historic centers, making it an ideal base for both business and leisure stays. Within walking distance, guests can explore the Rotermanni Quarter, renowned for contemporary dining and boutique shopping, and Telliskivi Creative City, which offers a vibrant blend of art, design, and cultural experiences. Around the corner is Kultuurikatel, a distinctive venue that regularly hosts leading tech conferences and events that celebrate the creative industries.

“The opening of Hyatt Place Tallinn marks an exciting milestone as we introduce the Hyatt brand to the Baltic States for the first time,” said Michel Morauw, Managing Director, North, EAME for Hyatt. “As business travelers increasingly seek to immerse themselves in local experiences when traveling for work, we are committed to meeting and exceeding their expectations, and it is openings like this that demonstrate our commitment to growth in this space.”

Igor Viskub, Management Board member at Estma HPT, the owning company of the hotel, celebrated the momentous opening of the first Hyatt hotel in Estonia, saying: “We honored the Hyatt Place brand by bringing to life every aspect of its signature comfort and functionality in the Baltics. The ultimate proof of whether we succeeded is really up to our guests, World of Hyatt members and customers, but we feel we have found the right collaborator, the right brand, and the right location for Hyatt’s successful entry into the growing Estonian market.”

“As Estonia continues to emerge as a dynamic destination for both business and leisure, we are proud to contribute to its growth by introducing the first Hyatt hotel to the country,” said Kadi Saluoks, general manager of Hyatt Place Tallinn. “This city has a lot to offer, and we have created a space that feels comfortable and easy to be in—whether you are here to work, explore, or just take a break. It has been exciting to see it all come together.”
