Marriott Hotel Macau, Hotel Okura Macau, Galaxy Hotel™ and Broadway Hotel.
“Today’s luxury traveler is increasingly seeking out unique experiences
and the opportunity to become truly immersed in a destination’s culture. We are
delighted to meet this need with the addition of Andaz Macau to our Galaxy Integrated
Resorts precinct,” said Mr. Francis Lui, Vice-Chairman of GEG. “Macau has many
stories to tell and is rich in history and culture. With Andaz Macau, we will
work closely with Hyatt to create experiences that truly showcase what is
special about this destination, while further contributing to the strength of
Macau’s tourism and MICE industries.”
“We are honored to launch the Andaz brand in
Macau in our first collaboration with GEG as part of the group’s ever-expanding
integrated resorts precinct in the city,” said Mr. David Udell, Group President,
Asia-Pacific, Hyatt Hotels Corporation. “Global in scale while local in
perspective, the Andaz brand is on track to double its footprint in Asia
Pacific by end of 2020 with a strong pipeline across Greater China in
destinations such as Macau and Taipei, as well as Sanya, Shenzhen and Xiamen.”
Andaz,
meaning ‘personal style’ in Hindi, encapsulates the brand’s passion to connect
with its guests and to experience the world through their eyes, and also speaks
to the uniqueness of the brand’s properties.
From New York, London to Shanghai, and most recently to Seoul, Andaz
hotels and resorts stimulate the senses through distinctively local
experiences, and by allowing guests to truly engage with a destination and
experience it authentically, rather than merely visit.
Andaz Macau will bring
the distinctive Andaz style to Macau, immersing business and leisure guests in
a stimulating environment inspired by the city’s colorful heritage that is a
blend of Chinese and Portuguese cultures. This will include the vibrant
interior design, local tastes and aromas with a twist and experiences that will
satiate the curiosity of inquisitive guests.
