Andaz Macau is scheduled to open in the first half
of 2021 alongside what is set to be Asia’s most iconic and advanced MICE destination,
Galaxy International Convention Center (GICC)
and a spectacular
events venue, 16,000-seat Galaxy Arena. Andaz Macau
will feature a
dedicated check-in lounge catering to large MICE group, over 700 rooms and
suites, an Andaz lounge, a bar and restaurant, state-of-the-art fitness center
and an indoor pool.

Andaz Macau will be
connected to the multiple award-winning integrated resort Galaxy Macau™,
offering 1.1 million m2 of unique entertainment, shopping with over 200
world renowned luxury brands and leisure attractions. The hotel will also
provide guests with easy access to discover and embrace the integrated resort’s
120 dining options, some of which have garnered prestigious accolades such as
Michelin Stars, and Broadway Food Street at Broadway MacauTM which
is just a link bridge away from Galaxy Macau.

The addition of the
Andaz brand will solidify Galaxy Integrated Resorts precinct‘s
position as Macau’s leading integrated resorts offering the largest collection
of luxury hotels — including The Ritz-Carlton Macau, Banyan Tree Macau, JW
Marriott Hotel Macau, Hotel Okura Macau, Galaxy Hotel™ and Broadway Hotel.


Today’s luxury traveler is increasingly seeking out unique experiences
and the opportunity to become truly immersed in a destination’s culture. We are
delighted to meet this need with the addition of Andaz Macau to our Galaxy Integrated
Resorts precinct,” said Mr. Francis Lui, Vice-Chairman of GEG. “Macau has many
stories to tell and is rich in history and culture. With Andaz Macau, we will
work closely with Hyatt to create experiences that truly showcase what is
special about this destination, while further contributing to the strength of
Macau’s tourism and MICE industries.”

“We are honored to launch the Andaz brand in
Macau in our first collaboration with GEG as part of the group’s ever-expanding
integrated resorts precinct in the city,” said Mr. David Udell, Group President,
Asia-Pacific, Hyatt Hotels Corporation. “Global in scale while local in
perspective, the Andaz brand is on track to double its footprint in Asia
Pacific by end of 2020 with a strong pipeline across Greater China in
destinations such as Macau and Taipei, as well as Sanya, Shenzhen and Xiamen.”

Andaz,
meaning ‘personal style’ in Hindi, encapsulates the brand’s passion to connect
with its guests and to experience the world through their eyes, and also speaks
to the uniqueness of the brand’s properties. 
From New York, London to Shanghai, and most recently to Seoul, Andaz
hotels and resorts stimulate the senses through distinctively local
experiences, and by allowing guests to truly engage with a destination and
experience it authentically, rather than merely visit.

Andaz Macau will bring
the distinctive Andaz style to Macau, immersing business and leisure guests in
a stimulating environment inspired by the city’s colorful heritage that is a
blend of Chinese and Portuguese cultures. This will include the vibrant
interior design, local tastes and aromas with a twist and experiences that will
satiate the curiosity of inquisitive guests.
