Hyatt Announces Plans for Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Spa

The 201 room art-inspired destination resort and retreat to open in
2016

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hyatt
Hotels Corporation
 (NYSE: H) today announced that a Hyatt affiliate
has entered into an agreement with PV Scottsdale Hotel Owner SPE LLC for
the operation of a new Andaz hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona. Andaz
Scottsdale Resort & Spa
will join Andaz hotels in top resort
destinations including Wailea (Maui) and Peninsula Papagayo (Costa
Rica), as well as urban Andaz hotels in global gateway cities including
London, New York, Napa, Los Angeles, Savannah, Shanghai, Amsterdam and
Tokyo. Expected to open mid-year 2016, Andaz Scottsdale will feature 201
bungalow style guestrooms, a full service spa and salon, and more than
20,000 square feet of meeting and event spaces on more than 22 acres of
land.


Andaz Scottsdale will further the brand’s mission to create inspiring,
indigenous experiences which immerse guests in the local culture of each
unique destination. This sophisticated, urban resort is located in the
exclusive Town of Paradise Valley, within walking distance to restaurant
and entertainment venues and less than two miles north of Old Town
Scottsdale and the Fashion Square shopping mall. Guests of Andaz
Scottsdale will also enjoy easy access to the world-class golf courses
and other outdoor activities in The Valley of the Sun.

Andaz Scottsdale will be a desert oasis featuring stunning views of
Camelback Mountain. Mid-century, desert inspired interiors conceived by
EDG Interior Architecture + Design draw inspiration from the innovative
1950s desert art scene influenced by architects, artists and graphic
designers, including Alexander Girard, Frank Lloyd Wright and Paolo
Solari. The desert serves as a creative landscape to weave an eclectic
mix of folk art, cultural patterns, and bright colors into the
architecture and design of the hotel.

“Andaz hotels deliver unique guest experiences in urban and resort
locations in a highly personal, yet uncomplicated way. Its commitment to
individuality and local identity make it an ideal match for our unique
desert retreat destination. We are excited to work with Hyatt to bring
the Andaz ethos to life in Scottsdale,” said Gary Stougaard, Managing
Member of Chelsea Hospitality Partners.

“We are delighted to introduce the first Andaz hotel to Arizona and to
this premier resort destination,” said David Tarr, Senior Vice President
of Development for Hyatt. “Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Spa will continue
to carry the tradition of what the brand is all about – bringing the
very best of the local culture to life through inspiring experiences for
guests. It is exciting to see this resort property completely
reinvented, and its opening will start a wave of openings for the Andaz
brand including hotels in Ottawa and Palm Springs.”

Andaz Scottsdale will include 201 guestrooms and suites, ranging in size
from 350 to 500 square feet configured in bungalow style clusters of six
units each to provide guests an authentic and intimate desert resort
experience. Guestrooms will also feature state-of-the-art technology and
entertainment, as well as private terraces, including some with outdoor
showers. The resort will include a large pool and sundeck with a
luxurious 12,000 square foot spa facility and a fitness center featuring
the latest cardio and strength exercise equipment. Inspired by the
spirit of artistic expression, which will radiate through the hotel,
food and beverage offerings at Andaz Scottsdale will encourage and
promote culinary experimentation. A glass box display kitchen will
feature a plancha grill where the chef will create innovative twists on
local flavors from a palette of the finest fresh ingredients. The menu
will encourage social interaction – from a Southwest infused breakfast
to shareable plate options throughout the day and evening. The lounge
will be centered around an open mixology hub and provide an eclectic mix
of signature cocktails, craft beers and tap beverages. Guests’
imagination will be inspired by the stunning colors of the desert sky
against the silhouette of Camelback Mountain from the outdoor terrace.

More than 20,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event
facilities will provide memorable venues for meetings, group events and
weddings, and will include intimate gathering and social areas among the
stately cottonwood and pine trees throughout the resort.

One of the most distinctive features of Andaz Scottsdale will be the
hotel’s collaboration with local artists, musicians and designers to
create events and programs for guests based upon themes unique to the
Sonoran desert. The Andaz Salon, the brand’s signature cultural program,
will feature interactive events to support and nurture the nearby
community of emerging artistic talent. The distinctive spaces at Andaz
Scottsdale will be stages for creative Andaz Salon events, ranging from
talks and lectures to exhibitions to live performances. These events can
also be experienced through the Andaz Salon website at www.andazsalon.com.
