The word andaz means “personal style” in Hindi, and the Andaz
brand is aimed at those well-traveled, guests who search for
inspiration and enriching experiences that expand their
perspectives. Aligned with the brand’s ethos of bringing the local
neighborhood to life, Andaz Capital Gate Abu Dhabi will offer
inspiring experiences, helping guests immerse themselves in their
surroundings and make their stay feel like their own from the
moment they begin their journey.
Centrally located in the capital city of the United Arab
Emirates, the property is near numerous noteworthy cultural,
creative and entertainment offerings including Zayed Sports City
and The Louvre, with the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Mangrove
National Park just a short drive away. The hotel will feature a
permanent art collection and various examples of unique
craftsmanship such as “Khatt” calligraphy art and local,
traditional “Sadu” weaving.
“We are extremely excited to introduce the Andaz brand to the
Middle East,” said Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, group chief executive
of ADNEC. “As each Andaz hotel pays homage to its location, Andaz
Capital Gate Abu Dhabi will do so by incorporating local art, which
will take guests on a journey into the UAE’s vibrant history and
culture. A permanent art collection in the hotel will reflect the
indigenous culture and evolution of UAE life, featuring the work of
both Emirati and local artists.”
“The Andaz lifestyle brand is the ideal fit for Abu Dhabi, a
city synonymous with art, culture and innovation – elements at the
core of the Andaz brand,” said Stuart Deeson, general manager of
the hotel and area vice president Abu Dhabi for Hyatt. “With this
opening, we hope to significantly enhance the traveler experience
in the capital by delivering guests luxury accommodations, unique
local insights, and creative inspiration for which the brand is
known.”
Andaz Capital Gate Abu Dhabi will offer 189 five-star luxury
guestrooms and suites, occupying the 18th to 33rd floors of the
iconic Capital Gate building, marking the world’s furthest leaning
hotel at an impressive 18 degree incline. Each room will offer
panoramic views from floor-to-ceiling windows, its own unique art,
and locally designed comforts such as the hotel’s bespoke Andaz
Loungewear. The hotel is adjacent to Abu Dhabi’s National
Exhibition Center and will feature a variety of restaurants and
bars, an art gallery, a spa, as well as a rooftop swimming pool and
fitness center.
The term “Hyatt” is used in this release for convenience to
refer to Hyatt Hotels Corporation and/or one or more of its
affiliates.
