As one of the most recognizable names in the world, Hyatt is widely known

for her tradition of innovation and authentic hospitality. The book has selected

55 Hyatt hotels designed by renowned designers worldwide which can well

represent the essential values of the Hyatt brand. The design styles of those

selected hotels are various, from graceful Western and Eastern styles to strik￾ingly contemporary styles. Some hotels are conceivably exotic and unique,

and some are elaborate and avant-garde. However, undoubtedly, all those

hotels are incomparably beautiful.

PARK HYATT ABU DHABI

HOTEL AND VILLAS

Located on the prestigious, natural island of Saadiyat in Abu

Dhabi, Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas is an exclusive

sanctuary of contemporary luxury located on a nine-kilometre

stretch of environmentally protected white sand beach. The

resort is adjacent to the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club and minutes

from the city's prime business district and the Corniche. Catering

to business and leisure travellers, this stylish resort offers

spectacular, unobstructed vistas of the turquoise water and

Saadiyat Beach Golf Club from both restaurants and rooms.

The hotel represents a true contemporary art masterpiece, with

delicate touches of Arabic inspired décor, features and patterns.

A simple, understated yet elegant building in total harmony

with the natural surrounding elements: the desert, the sand, the

wind and the sea. A wide range of selected materials from !ne

wood to bronze, leather and marble complete this modern-style

luxurious resort. The resort setting was created in such a way

that the architecture and landscape complement each other in

every way, to create an environment where the lines between

indoors and outdoors are almost invisible. Di"erent components

in the resort are connected by landscape elements, courtyards,

covered walkways and gardens.

PARK HYATT BEIJING

Soaring above the heart of Beijing's Central Business District,

Park Hyatt Beijing is part of the prestigious Beijing Yintai Centre,

the tallest skyscraper on famous Chang'an Avenue. The hotel

combines gracious service with contemporary accommodation

to create a warm, welcoming personal residence. The Beijing

Yintai Centre was conceived as a city within itself, an "urban

oasis" where people can live, work, shop, dine and entertain in

one location.

The main Park Tower is crowned at its apex with a Chinese

palace "lantern" that lights up the surrounding sky at night

like an iconic beacon. The interiors of Park Hyatt Beijing were

inspired by classic Suzhou architecture and water gardens,

incorporating Oriental aesthetics into a sleek, contemporary

design.

The hotel's 246 deluxe guestrooms, including 25 suites, span

Levels 37 to 49, and also Level 60. Above the hotel lobby

#oor is

the China Bar on Level 65, while, on the very top

#oor at Level

66, the China Grill is an international eatery with a soaring glass

pyramid ceiling. The hotel is also equipped with spa and

!tness

centre.

Park Hyatt Beijing offers a total of 2,648 m

2

meeting space,

including The Ballroom, a 1,220m

2

pillar-free expanse with an

impressive 7.5-metre ceiling height, perfect for events catering

to up to 1,200 guests.

PALACIO DUHAU7PARK

HYATT BUENOS AIRES

Palacio Duhau-Park Hyatt Buenos Aires, located in the

fashionable Recoleta shopping and residential district on

Avenida Alvear, combines a restored Palace with the new

Posadas building, which was built in architectural harmony

with the palace. The hotel seamlessly integrates Buenos Aires'

legendary glamour with 21st century innovative design and

state-of-the-art technology. The Palace has all the features of

an authentic "Hotel Particulier", the most outstanding of which

is the main entrance porch with its Imperial semi-covered

stairs and the double high column rows. Classic materials,

natural light, neutral and warm colours, and detailed iron work

instantly identify the "belle époque" glamour of the palace

and are reminders of the building's residential character. The

handsomely restored Palacio Duhau itself, built in 1934 by

French architect León Dourge, is one of the few remaining

palaces representing the city’s traditional and exclusive

"Porteña" aristocracy. In contrast, the new, contemporary

Posadas building reflects the future of Buenos Aires. An

underground walkway and gallery showcasing international

and local artists, and expansive private gardens connect the two

buildings.
