Hyatt Hotels & resorts are poised to open its first Park Hyatt-branded hotel in Auckland’s harbourfront in 2017.
Under a new management agreement with Fu Wah New Zealand, the move will mark Hyatt’s return to the country.
“This has been an exciting year for the Park Hyatt brand, and we are honoured to collaborate with Fu Wah New Zealand on this landmark luxury development,” Hyatt Asia Pacific, senior vice president, real estate and development, Ratnesh Verma said.
“Fu Wah New Zealand believes in the Park Hyatt brand, having recently purchased Park Hyatt Melbourne, and we are confident Park Hyatt Auckland will provide guests with the luxurious accommodations, culinary expertise and high-quality service for which the Park Hyatt brand is known. We remain committed to growing the brand in culturally rich cities like Auckland.”
The Park Hyatt Auckland will feature 190 rooms, three restaurants and bars, event spaces, a spa, 25-metre pool and a fitness center. The harbourfront area is expected to undergo a major revitalisation following the hotel’s opening, turning it into a world-class leisure, entertainment, culture, and dining destination.
The announcement complements a milestone year for the Park Hyatt brand globally, with the opening of Park Hyatt Vienna in June, followed by Park Hyatt New York in August. There are 16 previously announced Park Hyatt hotels currently in development around the world.
