“Hyatt Regency Sochi is a priority project for us,” said Sergey Demin, chief executive officer of Snegiri Development, “and we have engaged the best architects and designers from the Scottish architectural firm RMJM and the French interior designer Valode & Pistre. We have also engaged Rasen Construction, a leading Turkish contractor, for construction of this complex and unique project. We are confident that Hyatt Regency Sochi will become the center of resort life in Sochi and the premier 5-star hotel in all of the famous Black Sea Riviera.”
