HYATT Hotels Corporation yesterday announced that a Hyatt affiliate has signed a management agreement with Kamala Bay Ventures for the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort, the first Hyatt-brand resort in the popular Thai beach destination.
Slated to open in late 2013, the 202-room property joins two existing Hyatt-brand hotels in the country, namely Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok and Hyatt Regency Hua Hin.
Ratnesh Verma, senior vice president, real estate and development, Asia-Pacific for Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, said: “Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort will follow the opening of Park Hyatt Siem Reap and Park Hyatt Changbaishan this year, and the addition of these hotels is indicative of Hyatt’s commitment to build brand loyalty through exciting leisure offerings.”
The resort will be located on the west coast of Phuket, along the upscale Millionaire’s Mile, overlooking Kamala Bay and the Andaman Sea.
Besides its 202 guestrooms, the property also boasts 4,300m2 of meeting facilities, three F&B outlets, a club lounge, fitness centre, outdoor swimming pool and spa.
