Hyatt Hotel Corporation today announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Wing Tai Properties Limited (“Wing Tai”, SEHK stock code: 369) and CSI Properties Limited (SEHK stock code: 497) for the first Andaz branded hotel in Hong Kong.
Expected to open in 2027, this new-build hotel will be part of Central Crossing, an iconic mixed-use placemaking project at 118 Wellington Street in Central, Hong Kong, that will also feature premium commercial offices, open green spaces, and the preservation of heritage architecture.
Celebrating the spirit of Hong Kong
Andaz Hong Kong Central will explore emerging, creative facets of the city, introducing guests to a resonant, human side of the commercial capital. Designed as a love letter to Hong Kong, it will weave the city’s unique dualities – heritage and new, East and West, business and creativity – into a thoughtful tapestry of culture and design. Featuring 125 guestrooms and suites, including premium options that will double as intimate event spaces, Andaz Hong Kong Central will blend vibrant surroundings with curated experiences.
World-class experiences at Andaz Village
To create a world-class destination of premium entertainment and lifestyle, the project will debut the first-ever Andaz Village, a bespoke retail hub, alongside the hotel. Curating wellbeing experiences and gourmet elements, Andaz Village will be an exciting new home for some of the world’s most interesting brands.
