MEET OUR PARTNERS Andaz represents the epitome of boutique luxury, artisanal dining, and curated experiences that showcase the local culture Photo: Andaz Pattaya Jomtien BeachThe story and vision of AndazLaunched by the world-renowned Hyatt Hotels Corporation in 2007, Andaz (Hindi for ‘personal style’) is an upmarket lifestyle brand that represents the epitome of boutique luxury, artisanal dining, and curated experiences that showcase the local culture. While Andaz empowers its guests to feed their curiosities by immersing themselves in hyperlocal experiences, each of its 29 hotels provides you with the space to discover your ever-evolving identities. Andaz’s mission is echoed in its latest global campaign, Be Like No One’s Watching, which celebrates travel and how it liberates us to be more indulgent, daring, and experimental. Whether it’s learning how to be a pâtissier at Andaz Vienna am Belvedere, unleashing your inner DJ at Andaz Condesa Mexico City, or personalizing your look with a custom tattoo at Andaz Fifth Avenue, there’s an Andaz property that’s perfect for who you are and who you want to be.What you can expect from AndazEach Andaz property is a unique expression of its locale, where interiors share colors and materials with their exterior surroundings, and fluid space designs are without barriers, allowing guests to feel free to express themselves. While each property is unique, they all frame the local flavors, sights, sounds, and textures, making them social anchors in their communities. In addition to inspiring social spaces, Andaz hotels boast artfully created guest rooms with imaginative interiors complete with amenities and artwork that reflect the local sensibilities. After a day of exploration – both your evolving sense of self and the local area – you can kick back and indulge yourself in Andaz’s buzzworthy cocktail culture. Each hotel is fitted with a unique bar, where mixologists concoct tasty beverages with local ingredients.
