BIRMINGHAM, U.K.— The 319-room Hyatt Regency Birmingham here has been put up for sale by its owners— majority shareholder the NEC Group, Birmingham City Council and Hyatt International. However, if a sale is concluded, Hyatt will continue to operate the hotel. Meanwhile, the new £25 million (US$35.6 million), 242-room Crowne Plaza hotel has opened at the National Exhibition Center near Birmingham just 20 months after David McLean Developments began construction work. Elsewhere, the opening date of the 147-room Radisson SAS hotel in Leeds has been put back from February to May. The hotels General Manager Tony Costa put the delay down to compliance issues, since the hotel is located in a Grade II listed building. SOURCE: HVS International
