Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with TTS Resorts LTD. for the first Hyatt-branded hotel in St. Lucia. The 345-room luxury Grand Hyatt hotel is expected to open in 2023 and signifies Hyatt's continued brand growth into the Caribbean's leading travel destinations. A new-build resort, Grand Hyatt St. Lucia will be located on the southwestern corner of the island in Sunset Bay, Choiseul.

Grand Hyatt St. Lucia will be a captivating destination, featuring 345 guestrooms, including more than 50 luxury suites; three restaurants that will feature world-class chefs and iconic dishes reflective of the destination; three bars, including a lobby lounge, pool bar and beach-side bar; a 8,000 square foot destination spa and fitness center to connect guests with their physical and mental wellbeing; three swimming pools; and more than 23,000 square feet of dynamic, state-of-the-art gathering spaces designed to handle events of any size and kind. Additional offerings and amenities will include a kid's club and activity center, retails shops and an ultramodern screening room.

This resort will encompass two hilltops that will command spectacular view of St. Lucia's two famous volcanic spires, Gros Piton and Petit Piton. The Pitons are a designated World Heritage Site and will be less than 30 miles from Grand Hyatt St. Lucia, positioning the resort as an ideal starting point for excursions, tours, scuba diving, and more. Additionally, the resort will be a 30-minute drive from the island's Hewanorra International Airport (UVF).
