Andaz Hotels by Hyatt has signed a management contract with Rael Development Corporation to open a new California location, Andaz Palm Springs.
“Palm Springs has once again become increasingly influential as an entertainment, arts and recreation destination in Southern California, and we are excited to introduce the Andaz brand to the Coachella Valley,” says Graeme Rael, principal of Rael Development Corporation. “We felt this brand was the perfect fit for the community as it is a design-oriented, eco-conscious brand with a service model that is personal and uncomplicated.”
A Hyatt Hotels Corporation affiliate, the hotel will be located in downtown Palm Springs, adjacent to the Uptown Design District and within walking distance of Palm Canyon Drive, the Village Center, and the convention center, and a short distance from the Palm Springs International Airport.
The 150-guestroom, 17-suite Andaz Palm Springs layout will feature an elevated patio terrace with a mix of small buildings, and guestroom bungalows situated around two outdoor pools and garden areas. Amenities will include spa services, a fitness facility, a signature restaurant and lounge, a terrace bar, 25,000 square feet of retail space, and indoor-outdoor meeting facilities.
In collaboration with local artists, musicians, and designers, the hotel plans to host events and programs centralizing on Palm Springs themes via the brand’s signature cultural program, the Andaz Salon.
Andaz Palm Springs is anticipated to open in 2016.
