Hyatt to Open Regency Hotel in Phuket

Hyatt has signed a management agreement with Kamala Bay Ventures for a Hyatt Regency hotel in Phuket, Thailand.

The hotel will be the first Hyatt-branded resort to open in Phuket, one of Southeast Asia’s premier resort destinations.

Expected to open in late 2013, Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort will join two existing Hyatt-branded hotels in Thailand, including Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok and Hyatt Regency Hua Hin.

Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort will be located on the west coast of Phuket along the upscale Millionaire’s Mile.

Overlooking Kamala Bay and the Andaman Sea, the hotel will feature 202 guestrooms, in addition to more than 4,300 square feet of meeting facilities, three food and beverage outlets, a club lounge, fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, and spa.

“We are excited to bring the Hyatt Regency brand to one of the region’s most sought after resort destinations,” said Ratnesh Verma, senior vice president, real estate and development, Asia Pacific for Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. “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. We are honored to further strengthen our relationship with Kamala Bay Ventures, which through its affiliates is also the owner of Park Hyatt Siem Reap and Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa.”
