Hyatt brand’s Shanghai hotel has 307 keys


Hyatt Hotels Corp. has opened Andaz Shanghai, the first member of that lifestyle brand in Asia. The newly constructed 28-story hotel has 307 keys and is located in Xintiandi, a major entertainment area in downtown Shanghai.

“Andaz Shanghai sets a new standard for modern, high-rise buildings in historic urban districts in its innovative design, diverse program mix and connection to surrounding context,” said Joshua Chaiken, design principal, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the architecture design firm for the hotel. “Synthesizing old and new, the hotel responds sensitively with a warm-gray stone cladding and low-rise podiums that engage the historic neighborhood at street level, while at the same time, the project's powerful architectural form and high-end amenities embody the dynamism of modern-day cosmopolitan Shanghai.”

Launched in 2007, Andaz also has locations in London, New York, San Diego and West Hollywood.Additional hotels are under development in Amsterdam, Netherlands; Papagayo, Costa Rica; Providenciales, Turks and Caicos; Delhi, India; Sanya Sunny Bay, China; and Maui, Hawaii.
