Hyatt has expanded its portfolio of hotels in
Thailand, with the opening of the Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach, the
first Andaz-branded property in the Kingdom.
Nestled in over 15 acres (6.4 hectares) of land on
Tawanron Beach between Jomtien and Bang Saray, the resort is
within a quick drive of many of Pattaya’s scenic and tourism
hotspots and less than two hours by car from Bangkok and
Suvarnabhumi Airport.
“With the growing demand for immersive, authentic
experiences among luxury travelers, we are delighted by the launch
of the vibrant Andaz brand in Thailand, one of the world’s most
appealing destinations,” said David Udell, group president,
Asia-Pacific, Hyatt. “Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach is our first
Andaz resort in Thailand, adding to the brand’s growing portfolio
in the region, which now includes properties located in Bali,
Delhi, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, Tokyo and Xiamen.”
Surrounded by mature, landscaped gardens with
century-old trees, the distinctively local yet modern
design of the resort is inspired by the site’s history as a
private estate.
Conceived by Thai architecture firm
A49 and PIA interiors, Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach greets
guests with an awe-inspiring rain tree and reflective pond upon
arrival within the Raintree Court, which is the heart and soul of
the resort where travelers can meet, unwind and socialize. The
barrier-free space features restaurants with interactive show
kitchens and an herb garden.
Exquisite Thai teakwood houses – all
of which have been given a new lease on life using reclaimed wood
materials from storied traditional Thai wooden houses – are
nestled under the tropical foliage, while natural, locally sourced
and handmade materials and artwork have been incorporated
throughout the resort.
Set in low-rise clustered buildings, the 204
rooms, suites and villas – which start from 538 square feet (50
square meters) – are adorned with locally influenced interiors,
walk-in rain showers and a balcony or terrace with a relaxing
daybed.
The Lagoon Access Rooms allow guests to step
straight into the rippling waters of the resort pool, while the
Pool Suites enable guests to cool down with a private dip at any
time of day. There are also a few Beachfront Suites that are set directly on the
soft sand.
Two
heritage-inspired houses form the resort’s most highly prized
accommodation options are scheduled to open in the coming months –
a duplex four-bedroom Manor House and a
six-bedroom Presidential Heritage House, each of
which offers luxurious living with private pools, courtyards,
butler service and ocean views.
In addition to six restaurants and bars,
facilities at the property include three outdoor swimming pools; a
Panpuri Spa; 24-hour fitness center with Technogym equipment and
yoga room; and a choice of meeting and event spaces.
“While celebrating the spirit of exploration and
the individuality of each guest and immersed in an unspoiled
beachside setting, Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach offers low-rise
clusters of rooms, suites and villas, shady courtyards, sparkling
pools and creative event spaces, all of which reflect the dynamic
charm of this up-and-coming destination,” said Ranjeet Y.
Rajebhosale, General Manager, Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach.
“Through collaborations with local brands like the wellness
provider Panpuri and artisans, we hope to create riveting
experiences that will help guests reconnect with nature and
discover Thai culture.”
