Hyatt Regency Kiev to Open in June
Today I visited Hyatt Regency Kiev 5-star hotel which is scheduled to open within one month, on June 22, 2007. They say that some guests already arrive. So following my article about 5 Myths Foreigners Have About Ukraine I would occasionally post my visits to different sights in Kiev, especially hospitality places, like hotels and private apartments.
As hotel does not allow to make pictures inside, I took this photo from their Kiev website. It says that they open in May but actually it is open in June.
Location
The location is great, the views are fantastic. It is near Sofiysky Cathedral and Golden-Domed Mykhaylivsky Cathedral, between Independence Square and Andriivsky Descent. So whatever you need in the center, everything is near.
Rooms
The rooms are not very large, just standard rectangular. You can request a special pillow according to your tastes. You can also actually buy special mattress from Hyatt. There are both bathtube and bathing cabin. The rate is between 300 and 400 EUR a night.
Restaurant
There is a restaurant called Grill Asia as everything is cooked on grill. Also the process of cooking occurs on open area so everybody can see it. The wine collection is very wide, and first you order a bottle of wine, then they suggest you dishes that comply with that sort of wine.
