Hyatt is continuing its expansion push in Mexico.

The company has signed a franchise agreement for a Hyatt House property in Mexico City, part of a wave of new hotels set to open in the region in the coming years.

The Hyatt House Sante Fe, an agreement between a Hyatt affiliate and Fideicomiso de Actividad Empresarial, is set to open in 2016.

“We are delighted to be bringing the first Hyatt House hotel to Mexico. Hyatt House Santa Fe will be an ideal home-base for business travelers and visitors to the medical, corporate and academic facilities in the area,” said Norton Figot, director, Fideicomiso de Actividad Empresarial, in a release. “Adding the strength and innovation of the Hyatt brand to the development complex is very important to us.”

Hyatt has seven executed management and franchise agreements in Mexico, including Hyatt Regency Andares Guadalajara, Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta, Hyatt Ziva Cancun, Park Hyatt Los Cabos, Park Hyatt Riviera Maya, Hyatt Place La Paz, Hyatt Place Ciudad del Carmen, Hyatt Place Tijuana, Hyatt Playa in Playa del Carmen, and Andaz Mayakoba.

“We believe it is an exciting time for Hyatt in Mexico,” said Myles McGourty, senior vice president of Latin America and the Caribbean for Hyatt Hotels and Resorts. “Hyatt seeks to elevate the profile of its brands in Mexico, the recent growth announcements and openings underscore our commitment to Mexico.”

The Hyatt House brand first launched in 2012.
