the Andaz brand, and the anticipated openings of Andaz
Scottsdale Resort & Spa and Andaz
Delhi later this week. The three properties will join 13 other Andaz
hotels, each celebrating the local culture and unique spirit of
neighborhoods in diverse and culturally rich global gateway cities and
top resort destinations around the world. With several more hotel
openings in the pipeline, the Andaz brand provides global growth
opportunities for Hyatt.
“Hyatt is committed to purposeful and meaningful growth,” said David
Tarr, senior vice president of real estate and development, Hyatt. “With
three Andaz hotels opening this week in very different parts of the
world, and the recent opening of Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market, it’s clear
the brand is a growth driver domestically and internationally for
Hyatt’s luxury lifestyle brands.”
“These hotels truly fulfill the spirit of the Andaz brand, weaving the
sights, sounds and tastes of their surroundings into the experience and
immersing guests in the local culture,” said Sandra Cordova Micek,
global senior vice president of brands, Hyatt. “Andaz Scottsdale Resort
& Spa, Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya, and Andaz Delhi will create
environments where guests leave feeling enriched, knowing their
experience was much more than the expected hotel stay.”
Like all Andaz hotels, these properties will celebrate local culture and
the spirit of their respective neighborhoods, bringing to life its
history and personalities in unique and surprising ways. Now open and
accepting reservations, Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya introduces
guests to a hidden paradise. The resort’s breathtaking design reflects
the native Mayan culture and brings to life locally inspired experiences
and indigenous environment for guests, whether by exploring the lush
mangrove preserve, relaxing in the 10,000 square-foot Naum Spa,
sunbathing in one of three outdoor pools, or unwinding on the pristine
white sanded Caribbean beach. Four unique restaurants and bars offer
distinguished culinary experiences, serving fresh ingredients and
showcasing authentic cooking techniques – all with stunning views of the
pools, lagoon, and ocean. To ensure an authentic stay, the hotel has
teamed up with a series of local artists, including Senkoe, a Riviera
Maya graffiti artist, who was tapped to curate vibrant and colorful
murals seen throughout the resort. They also offer a series of inspiring
activities to allow guests to truly absorb Mayan culture, such as
learning to speak the language or preparing the best tacos in a Tacology
class.
Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Spa is situated on 23 acres of sweeping desert
landscape at the base of Camelback Mountain. Signature restaurant Weft &
Warp Art Bar + Kitchen will feature an exhibition kitchen with a plancha
and will serve contemporary Sonoran cuisine in small, sharable plates.
Palo Verde Spa & Apothecary will offer guests seven treatment rooms and
a customizable menu utilizing unique and indigenous ingredients, as well
as the opportunity to invent their own concoctions at the Desert
Blending Bar. Through an extensive artist in residence program in
partnership with the nearby Cattle Track Arts community, guests will be
able to interact, learn and create alongside local craftsman in
painting, pottery, photography and more. The hotel is expected to open
later this week.
Andaz Delhi will offer easy access to some of the city's most iconic
monuments and gardens, fashion boutiques, arts and cultural centers and
the vibrant city nightlife. Designed to capture the spirit of Delhi by
renowned architect Bauer Latoza Studio from Chicago, and interior
designer Virgile and Partners from London, the hotel will integrate
traditional Indian elements, colors and flavors into a modern design
inspired by the unique craftsmanship of India. Taking an innovative
approach to restaurants and bars, Andaz Delhi will emphasize consciously
sourced ingredients and local artisanal produce in the uniquely
conceived European food hall – AnnaMaya. The ballroom is one of the
largest indoor luxury wedding spaces in Delhi and will provide a blank
canvas to customize and decorate the space based on the individuality
and style of any guest. The unique Elephant Path will add a sense of
drama to a traditional Indian wedding. The hotel is expected to open
later this week.
These new expected additions demonstrate the brand’s strong growth plans
and commitment to immersing guests in the very best of local culture. To
