Global Hyatt Corporation launched its new Andaz hotel brand, with plans to open the first hotel in London this year and in several U.S. locations in coming years.
The first Andaz hotel in the U.S. is slated to open in New York in 2008 or 2009, and plans are in the works for hotels in other destinations nationwide. Locations were not announced at press time.
The new brand will focus on being environmentally friendly and will also incorporate the personality of the property’s destination in the design of each hotel.
