Typically, the opening of a Hyatt Place wouldn’t raise many eyebrows, but today’s news is an exception. The Hyatt Place Rouen, a 4-star hotel located in Normandy, France, is 1 of the most luxe hotels we’ve seen from the brand.

Here’s everything you need to know about the new hotel, plus how to book it using World of Hyatt points!

Luxury Hyatt Place Opens in France

For a Hyatt Place (1 of Hyatt’s economical brands), the 85-room Hyatt Place Rouen is certainly more high-end. Amenities include a French restaurant, a spa with a heated pool and treatment rooms, a gym, and 3 meeting rooms.

This is a notable departure from most Hyatt Place hotels, which typically offer a fitness center and little else in the way of amenities.

The hotel is inside a former teacher training college that dates back to 1886 and is near both the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen and the Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen. It is a 2-hour drive from Paris.

“Hyatt Place Rouen marries classical charm with contemporary sophistication, and further expands the brand’s presence in one of our key markets, offering guests and World of Hyatt members exceptional experiences in sought-after destinations,” said Michel Morauw, Managing Director Hyatt EAME North.

How To Book Hyatt Place Rouen

The Hyatt Place Rouen is now open for guests. It is part of the World of Hyatt program, meaning you can earn and redeem points here.

Cash rates here start at around $100 per night this fall, which is what we’d expect for a Hyatt Place property. But if you have some World of Hyatt points, this hotel is 1 of your best options in France.

The Hyatt Place Rouen is a Category 1 hotel. That means award stays start at 3,500 points and go up to 6,500 points per night. While France is a year-round destination, we’re seeing off-peak award availability during popular travel times, such as June 2025.

Because of the hotel’s low category, you can apply a Category 1-4 free night certificate to stay here. These are pretty easy to earn. Participating in the Brand Explorer program, staying 30 nights (or earning 50,000 base points), or having a Hyatt credit card like the The World of Hyatt Credit Card will earn a certificate.

Hot Tip:

You can earn double points on stays at Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels worldwide through October 15 — and the Hyatt Place Rouen is participating in the promo!

Final Thoughts

The Hyatt Place Rouen is undoubtedly impressive, as it offers a high-end dining outlet, a pool, and a spa for an affordable price with cash or World of Hyatt points. If you want to spend your points in Northern France, look no further than the Hyatt Place Rouen.
