Travel Agent has learned of Hyatt Hotels Corporation’s plans for a Grand Hyatt Hotel and Residences on Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. It is expected to open by the fourth quarter of 2020.
A Hyatt affiliate has entered into a franchise and related agreements with Pageant Beach Hotel Ltd. for the 351-room Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman Hotel & Residences.
The hotel will be managed by an affiliate of Aimbridge Hospitality, one of the largest independent hotel investment and management firms in North America and the Caribbean.
The new hotel will mark the Hyatt’s brand return to Grand Cayman, said David Tarr, senior vice president of development for Hyatt, in a written release.
Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman Hotel & Residences will be located on a 7.1-acre site on Seven Mile Beach, considered one of the best beaches in the Caribbean.
Situated along the southern end of West Bay Road, the hotel and residences will be located less than one mile away from George Town’s city center and only 10 minutes from Owen Roberts International Airport.
Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman Hotel & Residences will offer 351 guest rooms, studio suites, and, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts along a seafront eco-walk that will celebrate the diverse ecology of Grand Cayman. Additional amenities include six distinct food and beverage venues, a 9,000-square-foot destination spa and fitness center, three swimming pools, retail shops, a kids club, and a screening room.
The resort is planned to have 25,000 square feet of indoor meeting and event space, which will make it the largest function space in the Cayman Islands.
An affiliate of Pageant Beach Hotel Ltd. will offer a rental program for the residences that will allow participating owners, when not occupying their residences, to have Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman rent their residences to hotel guests.
Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman Hotel & Residences will mark the return of the Hyatt brand to Grand Cayman, an island with a number of natural attractions including the blow holes in the East End district, the Mastic Trail that runs north to south through the center of the island, the Hell limestone formations in the West Bay, and the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park.
Water sports, such as scuba diving and snorkeling, are popular activities on Grand Cayman as the island is known for its coral reefs and underwater sea walls along with a number of famous shipwreck dive sites.
