Hyatt Hotels has entered into a management agreement with Wing Tai Properties Limited and CSI Properties Limited to launch Andaz Hong Kong Central, the first Andaz-branded hotel in Hong Kong. Scheduled to open in 2027, the hotel will anchor Central Crossing, a landmark mixed-use development at 118 Wellington Street featuring premium offices, open green spaces, and preserved heritage architecture.
Part of Hyatt’s Lifestyle Group, Andaz Hong Kong Central will feature 125 guestrooms and suites, a Living Room social space, all-day dining, and a modern fitness and wellness hub. Designed as a tribute to Hong Kong’s vibrant dualities, heritage and modernity, East and West, the hotel will immerse guests in the city’s creative and cultural spirit.
The development will also introduce the world’s first Andaz Village, a bespoke retail and lifestyle hub curating wellness experiences and gourmet 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 travellers.”
“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 honouring local culture and showcasing this neighbourhood 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 the 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.
