Andaz Soon to Debut in South Korea

HYATT HOTELS has entered into agreements with KT Estate and Hotel I-Park for the development of an Andaz branded hotel in Seoul’s Apgujeong neighbourhood in South Korea. 

Andaz Gangnam, Seoul, which is expected to open in 2019, will have 241 guestrooms. The high-rise will be near the retail shops, schools, residential areas of Apgujeong, including Cheongdam-dong and Rodeo Street, two subway stations and the Han River. 

This project will be Hyatt's third with Hotel HDC, a subsidiary of Hyundai Development Company Engineering & Construction. The partners also developed the Park Hyatt Seoul and the Park Hyatt Busan.  

Andaz Gangnam will be the first Andaz branded hotel in Korea. It will join other Andaz properties in Asia, including locations in Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, and Delhi, India. 

The Andaz Singapore opened in November 2017 as the first Andaz hotel in Southeast Asia.

Andaz is set to have its first Middle East property later this year in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Hyatt Hotels will rebrand the Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi in the Capital Gate building as the Andaz Capital Abu Dhabi.
