A marquee project, Andaz Hong Kong Central, is set to debut in 2027 at the new placemaking urban landmark Central Crossing in the heart of Hong Kong.

Hyatt Hotel Corporation announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Wing Tai Properties Limited and CSI Properties Limited for the first Andaz branded hotel in Hong Kong.

Expected to open in 2027, this new-build hotel will be part of Central Crossing, an iconic mixed-use placemaking project at 118 Wellington Street in Central, Hong Kong, that will also feature premium commercial offices, open green spaces, and the preservation of heritage architecture.

Part of Hyatt’s newly formed Lifestyle Group and designed for those with a global sensibility, Andaz hotels are grounded in their local surroundings and infused with local culture. The brand’s personalized, attentive service empowers guests to explore, leaving them enriched and energized.

Andaz Hong Kong Central will explore emerging, creative facets of the city, introducing guests to a resonant, human side of the commercial capital. Designed as a love letter to Hong Kong, it will weave the city’s unique dualities – heritage and new, East and West, business and creativity – into a thoughtful tapestry of culture and design.

Featuring 125 guestrooms and suites, including premium options that will double as intimate event spaces, Andaz Hong Kong Central will blend vibrant surroundings with curated experiences.

The hotel's Living Room will create a social anchor where conversations can unfold and refreshments flow from morning to evening, while further culinary options will include an all-day restaurant. A fitness center will provide a centering, state-of-the-art training hub, complemented by a range of wellness offerings.

To create a world-class destination of premium entertainment and lifestyle, the project will debut the first ever Andaz Village, a bespoke retail hub, alongside the hotel. Curating wellbeing experiences and gourmet elements, Andaz Village will be an exciting new home for some of the world’s most interesting brands.

“We are honored to be part of this landmark project with Wing Tai Properties and CSI Properties in the heart of Central, building on our deep roots in Hong Kong since the opening of Hyatt’s first hotel outside the United States here in 1969,” said David Udell, Group President, Asia Pacific, Hyatt.

“The continued growth of the Andaz brand reflects our focus on intentional expansion in key locations and distinctive experiences for discerning travelers.”

"I have always loved Hong Kong. There are so many hidden sides waiting to be discovered that often go unexplored,” said Amar Lalvani, President & Creative Director of the Lifestyle Group, Hyatt. "At Andaz hotels, we want to draw out those creative currents to give our guests an enriching exploration of this remarkable city.”

“This collaboration is of great value, and we are proud to come together with Hyatt to introduce Hong Kong’s first ever Andaz hotel at Central Crossing. This underscores our determination and commitment to create a new lifestyle landmark in Central,” said Edward Cheng, Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive, Wing Tai Properties Limited. “With the arrival of Andaz Hong Kong Central and the first Andaz Village, alongside the area’s distinctive historical and cultural ambiance, Central Crossing is set to become a destination where luxury meets culture. The development will offer a fresh, unparalleled leisure and entertainment experience for the community and visitors from around the world—leveraging the Andaz brand’s dedication to honoring local culture and showcasing this neighborhood in fascinating new perspectives.”

“We are excited about the unveiling of this first Andaz hotel and the debut of Andaz Village,” said Mico Chung, Chairman and Executive Director of CSI Properties. “Together with the project’s premium office space, green leisure areas, and the surrounding district’s rich history and culture, Central Crossing will inject fresh vitality into the Central community. Leveraging the Andaz brand’s unique strength in weaving local culture into the guest experience, we believe Andaz Hong Kong Central will blend world class amenities with the warmth of best-in-class hospitality and become a must-visit destination for locals and international travelers from all over.”

The hotel will be located in Central, Hong Kong, the city’s dynamic business and financial district where leisure and commerce meet. The surrounding neighborhood is a nexus of culture and lifestyle, located steps from some of Hong Kong’s best restaurants and bars and centered between three renovated historic cultural complexes – Tai Kwun, PMQ and Central Market. The storied location also benefits from close connections to the city’s transport hubs through direct integration with the district’s central walkway system, with MTR and Airport Express stations within walking distance.

Hervé Mazella, Hyatt’s Area Vice President of Luxury for Hyatt Asia Pacific, will also take the helm of Andaz Hong Kong Central as General Manager. In this dual capacity, he will bring his extensive experience accrued across leadership roles at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, Park Hyatt Tokyo and Andaz Bali, as well as diverse hotels across France, Monaco, the UK and the Middle East.

“My goal is to establish Andaz Hong Kong Central as the vibrant soul of Central Crossing,” said Hervé Mazella, General Manager of Andaz Hong Kong Central. “Rooted in its local surroundings and infused with the spirit of Hong Kong, the one-of-a-kind lifestyle hotel will reflect the city’s rich blend of business, art, culture and heritage, and serve as a creative, energetic hub that celebrates authenticity and connection. I look forward to bringing the Andaz brand’s signature lifestyle experiences to Hong Kong to deliver elevated experiences for our guests.”

Andaz Hong Kong Central will be another addition in the continued expansion of the Andaz portfolio across Asia Pacific. Other upcoming openings include Andaz Shanghai ITC, set to open at the end of this year amid Shanghai’s leading commercial neighborhood, and Andaz One Bangkok, scheduled to open in 2026, at the serene Lumphini Park as part of the prestigious One Bangkok development. In the second quarter of 2026, Andaz Gold Coast is expected to debut the brand in Australia and the Pacific as part of a world-class integrated resort development.
