Six Andaz-branded luxury lifestyle properties are due to open in Dubai, UAE; Prague, Czech Republic; Bali, Indonesia; Shenzhen and Xiamen in China; and Palm Springs, California. The Andaz Dubai The Palm will mark the brand's entry into Dubai, while Andaz Bali will be the brand’s first in Indonesia.
Five Park Hyatt hotels are slated to open next year in Doha, Qatar; Jakarta, Indonesia; Niseko, Japan; Suzhou, China; and Auckland, New Zealand. These openings will mark the brand's entry into New Zealand, Qatar, and Indonesia.
