Hyatt has opened its first ‘JdV by Hyatt’ hotel in France.
JdV is a mid-market version of Hyatt’s The Unbound Collection, a brand which allows independent hotels to market themselves through Hyatt in return for offering all of the benefits of World of Hyatt.
FirstName Bordeaux (yes, it’s an odd name!) is:
Situated in an iconic building, the hotel is close to the Garonne River and moments away from cultural and notable landmarks such as the Quays of Bordeaux, the Water Mirror, La Cité du Vin, and the Darwin Ecosystem. For those looking to immerse themselves in the region’s most renowned attractions, the infamous Bordeaux vineyards and the extraordinarily beautiful Arcachon Bay are easily accessible by public transport or car.
We are told that FirstName Bordeaux ‘epitomizes the “joie de vivre” philosophy of the JdV by Hyatt brand’, inviting ‘guests and locals alike to connect, live in the moment and celebrate the joy of life, whilst unwinding in spaces designed with distinctive personality’.
FirstName Bordeaux has 147 rooms and suites, with eco-friendly interiors including wood sourced from eco-managed forests, plush carpets fashioned from discarded fishing nets and charcoal in each room to purify the atmosphere.
Disappointingly the press release did not explain why, as per the photo above, the lobby includes a huge model of a teddy bear, a la Doha’s Hamad Airport.
