Hyatt Heads for Kiev

Where: Kiev, Ukraine

With Ukraine becoming an increasingly interesting destination both for business and holiday travelers, it's time that the hotel choice got a bit more upmarket. When a Radisson opened about a year ago, it was really the first international standard hotel and guests paid for that with inflated prices. But now Hyatt is opening its Hyatt Regency Kiev which should provide a bit of competition.

The new Hyatt should be ready for business in May, and although prices are still expected to be pretty high here (and more than double the monthly income of the average Ukrainian, just for a single night stay), the location is nice--looking over the historic Old Town and near St Sophia's Cathedral, a Kiev highlight. Whether or not modern-style hotel buildings should be built so close to historical settings is another question we could debate, but we'll stick to whinging about the high prices for now.
