In 2012, the Tashkent administration and Hyatt International signed an agreement for the construction and management of a hotel under the Hyatt Regency brand; construction was completed in 2016.
The city gained
another “snow-white palace” — at that time, the only five-star hotel, Hyatt
Regency Tashkent. The P-shaped building with an eastern colonnade is comparable
in size to the Palace of Forums and continues the ensemble of representative
buildings on Navoi Street. The architecture inherits features of the early 21st
century: white walls with a granite plinth, blue-tinted glass, a colonnade, and
a dome over the central part. National style elements are used in the interior
— ornaments, lagans (ceramic plates), and works by Uzbek artists.
The hotel has 301
rooms, of which about 15% are premium-class apartments; restaurants, bars, a
swimming pool, and conference zones with a total area of more than 1,200 sq. m.
are in operation.
