Andaz is heading Down Under in 2025
The Australian city of Gold Coast is about to shine even brighter — at least, for World of Hyatt fanatics — when the first Andaz opens in the coastal city next year.
Scheduled for a mid-2025 opening, the Andaz Gold Coast will be set in a $1.3 billion mixed-use development called The Star Gold Coast, built in conjunction between The Star Entertainment Group, Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises (the parent company of Rosewood Hotels).
Located on the island of Broadbeach, the resort will offer 202 rooms and suites, three to-be-announced food and beverage outlets, a pool deck with a bar on the sixth floor and a beach club with cabanas and dining. Additionally, the brand's signature Andaz Lounge will be open throughout the day for guests to grab a drink or snack.
The architectural design for the Andaz Gold Coast is by Australian firm DBI Architects, while Hachem, the creative force behind the W Melbourne, is handling the project's interior design. The latter will be centered around a theme "inspired by the fascinating transformation of sunlight as each day unfolds on the Gold Coast."
"Hyatt has had a brand presence in Australia for over 40 years, and we are excited to expand our luxury, lifestyle and leisure offerings into sought-after destinations like the Gold Coast," David Udell, group president of Asia Pacific at Hyatt, said in a statement. "This resort will complement our current portfolio of 10 hotels under five distinct brands in Australia, including Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Centric and Hyatt Place."
Australia might have to wait until next year for its inaugural Andaz, but in the U.S., all eyes are on Miami Beach, Florida, where the former Confidante is set to reopen as an Andaz in December 2024. Once open, Andaz Miami Beach will have a totally reimagined concept with 287 rooms, two pools and all-new food and drink concepts from celebrity chef José Andrés.
Rates are currently unavailable for both properties, but we'll be sure to share those details as soon as we learn more about these two exciting Hyatt developments.
