Hyatt Regency Erbil Residences (leaving WoH August 16, 2023) REVIEW MASTER THREAD
 

Opened May 2022. My first visit. Centrally located in Erbil, immediately adjacent to a mall with a grocery store. Residential living means, among other things, large units with kitchens for most/all hotel guests. There are also residential living units. Strong security on arrival, with security detail at gate (heavily armed people, canines, bollards). X-ray machines at two junctures...three, if you include entering and departing the expansive fitness center. i -deliberately lower case, since I am a Hardly Important Person - have been treated very well so far in my still-young stay.

More broadly, Erbil feels safe and, Ramadan aside, pleasant and inviting. Virtually all small shops and restaurants are closed during the day.

Leaving Hyatt to become a Radisson "within two weeks".

Thanks for the review and the update.
I was wondering why "there is no availabilty for the dates entered."
Any idea why they are leaving WoH?

My contact didn't say anything beyond the "right" thing: "we are excited to become a Radisson property". I will be returning, since this hotel is about as good as it gets in Erbil.
