Hyatt Regency Perth to close after 36 years

[cosi]

Hyatt Regency Perth will close its doors after 36 years, announcing it will no longer operate as a hotel or be affiliated with the Hyatt brand.

In a statement on Monday, Tuan Sing — the parent company of Hyatt Regency Perth — announced it would cease operations as a hotel after August 31.

The hotel is actively working with Tuan Sing to support guests and customers with affected bookings and exploring opportunities for associates with onward job opportunities.

“We extend our sincerest gratitude to our team, guests, customers, partners and the broader Perth community for their loyal support and patronage, which has laid the foundation for our success over the past three decades,” Hyatt Regency Perth general manager Thiva Kesavan said.

“It is with much regret that Hyatt Regency Perth will cease to operate, but we are grateful to have had the privilege to serve and care for all who have come through its doors.

Just adding, since this wording is a big ambiguous, it looks like the plan is for it to be reflagged (not closed/rebuilt as something else):

The Property will be repositioned and rebranded to commence business following termination of the Hotel Management Agreements.

Just dropped in there yesterday to buy a coffee to keep my Hyatt points active.

It used to be one of the best hotels in Perth and one of the few large venues for weddings etc. It's now considered out of the way and a bit run down with many much nicer wedding venues.

Was one of my favourite hotels - spent hundreds of nights there. Some great staff over the years. Many ups and downs. Funny how some hotels you just connect with. Must be the faded but enduring architectural symmetry from my childhood era!

Was sad to see its slow decline however. Will be missed and even harder now to retain status with WoH in Australia.

Was it always a Hyatt. It was the hotel used by the QF pilots for many years...until we were enhanced.

Should also be noted the same Singaporean company owns Grand Hyatt Melbourne.

Only other hospitality interest is Opus Bay integrated development in Batak, Indonesia.
So no obvious house brand to reflag to.

It began life as the Merlin, rebranding to Hyatt in '88.
