Hyatt Opens Thailand's First Andaz Hotel

Dark/Light Mode (16/01/23)  Hyatt has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Thailand, with the opening of the Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach, the first Andaz-branded property in the Kingdom.

Nestled in over 15 acres (6.4 hectares) of land on Tawanron Beach between Jomtien and Bang Saray, the resort is within a quick drive of many of Pattaya’s scenic and tourism hotspots and less than two hours by car from Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi Airport.

“With the growing demand for immersive, authentic experiences among luxury travelers, we are delighted by the launch of the vibrant Andaz brand in Thailand, one of the world’s most appealing destinations,” said David Udell, group president, Asia-Pacific, Hyatt. “Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach is our first Andaz resort in Thailand, adding to the brand’s growing portfolio in the region, which now includes properties located in Bali, Delhi, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, Tokyo and Xiamen.”

Surrounded by mature, landscaped gardens with century-old trees, the distinctively local yet modern design of the resort is inspired by the site's history as a private estate.

Conceived by Thai architecture firm A49 and PIA interiors, Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach greets guests with an awe-inspiring rain tree and reflective pond upon arrival within the Raintree Court, which is the heart and soul of the resort where travelers can meet, unwind and socialize. The barrier-free space features restaurants with interactive show kitchens and an herb garden.

Exquisite Thai teakwood houses – all of which have been given a new lease on life using reclaimed wood materials from storied traditional Thai wooden houses – are nestled under the tropical foliage, while natural, locally sourced and handmade materials and artwork have been incorporated throughout the resort.

Set in low-rise clustered buildings, the 204 rooms, suites and villas - which start from 538 square feet (50 square meters) - are adorned with locally influenced interiors, walk-in rain showers and a balcony or terrace with a relaxing daybed.

The Lagoon Access Rooms allow guests to step straight into the rippling waters of the resort pool, while the Pool Suites enable guests to cool down with a private dip at any time of day. There are also a few Beachfront Suites that are set directly on the soft sand.

Two heritage-inspired houses form the resort’s most highly prized accommodation options are scheduled to open in the coming months - a duplex four-bedroom Manor House and a six-bedroom Presidential Heritage House, each of which offers luxurious living with private pools, courtyards, butler service and ocean views.

In addition to six restaurants and bars, facilities at the property include three outdoor swimming pools; a Panpuri Spa; 24-hour fitness center with Technogym equipment and yoga room; and a choice of meeting and event spaces.

“While celebrating the spirit of exploration and the individuality of each guest and immersed in an unspoiled beachside setting, Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach offers low-rise clusters of rooms, suites and villas, shady courtyards, sparkling pools and creative event spaces, all of which reflect the dynamic charm of this up-and-coming destination,” said Ranjeet Y. Rajebhosale, General Manager, Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach. “Through collaborations with local brands like the wellness provider Panpuri and artisans, we hope to create riveting experiences that will help guests reconnect with nature and discover Thai culture.”
