Hyatt Hotels has announced the opening of Italy’s first two Hyatt Centric branded hotels – Hyatt Centric Murano Venice and Hyatt Centric Milan Centrale.

The hotels offer 119 and 141 guestrooms, respectively, and mark a significant milestone for Hyatt’s growth in Europe, targeting adventure-seeking travellers.

Hyatt Centric Murano Venice, Hyatt’s first hotel in Venice, is located in the popular tourist destination of Murano, world famous for its handmade glass.

The modern hotel is located steps from the renowned Murano Glass Museum and is close to Basílica dei Santi María e Donato, one of the oldest churches in the Venetian lagoon.

The hotel is a 20-minute private boat ride from the airport and guests will have easy access into central Venice via a ten-minute boat ride.

Built within the walls of an ancient glass manufacturing furnace, Hyatt Centric Murano Venice is home to landmark glass manufacturer Venini’s artwork.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Hyatt Centric brand to Venice with the opening of Hyatt Centric Murano Venice,” said Leonardo Ometto, general manager of Hyatt Centric Murano Venice.

“With its fantastic views of the Grand Canal of Murano, combined with the central location and exquisite interiors, the hotel provides the perfect launchpad for guests who are looking to explore the vibrant city.

“Our passionately engaged team is happy to provide local expertise to create shareable moments for our guests.”

Hyatt Centric Milan Centrale sits in the heart of the vibrant Porta Nuova district.

Situated within walking distance from the metro and Central Station, the hotel serves as the perfect launch pad to discover the best Milan has to offer.

Its neighbourhood area has undergone significant restoration, recently transforming into Milan’s most high-tech and international district.

The property boasts a rooftop bar with 360-degree views of Milan.
