Hyatt Brand to Return to Adelaide, Australia in 2023 with New-Built Hyatt Regency Adelaide
A Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with CES Pirie Hotel (SA) Pty Ltd., an entity wholly owned by Chip Eng Seng Corporation Limited, to develop a new Hyatt Regency in Adelaide. This brand new 295-room property will mark the return of a Hyatt-branded hotel to operate in Adelaide as well as the brand's expansion across Australia. With construction planned to commence in 2020, the Hyatt Regency Adelaide is slated to open in early 2023.
The Hyatt Regency brand offers a stress-free environment for event, leisure and business travelers alike to enjoy a productive and energized experience. Guests can enjoy a seamless and intuitive service alongside refreshing food and beverage concepts and flexible spaces suited for work, collaboration or relaxation. Hyatt Regency Adelaide will be located on Pirie Street in the center of the city’s central business district, giving guests unparalleled access to major corporate and government offices as well as shopping and dining venues. When completed, the hotel will offer facilities including more than 8,000 square feet (750 square meters) of event space, a Market Café, a Regency Club, swimming pool, fitness facilities and a rooftop bar.
The Park Hyatt Auckland is quite possibly the nicest luxury hotel in Auckland with stunning rooms and suites, but the soft product needs some work.
While the compact rooms may not be ideal for those traveling with children, the Mercure Singapore Bugis is an excellent choice for travelers seeking an affordable and conveniently located hotel in Singapore, thanks to its prime location and competitive room rates.
The Le Méridien Seoul, Myeongdong has probably the best location in Seoul with a decent Club Lounge experience for elite members.
The Sofitel Kuala Lumpur Damansara offers an excellent Club Millésime experience with comfortable rooms and well-maintained facilities, catering to both business and leisure travelers. The newly-opened Pavilion Damansara Heights Mall adds a variety of dining and entertainment options nearby, perfect for those who prefer not to venture too far from the hotel.
The Silveri Hong Kong provides an excellent stay experience for those needing proximity to HKIA, but it's not ideal for visitors exploring the city.
The Athenee Hotel in Bangkok provides good value with its third-night free offers, but the hard product falls short of expectations. While the service is generally excellent, there are better-located Marriott properties that offer more value for your money.
The prime location of the Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo is a major highlight, offering easy access to three Tokyo Metro lines. While the hotel has a solid F&B experience, the high room rates make this an expensive choice on longer stays.
The Conrad Singapore Orchard reopened in late December 2023 after extensive renovations, offering modern amenities in its newly-renovated rooms and suites. Despite initial doubts, the property's updated facilities and convenient location near Orchard Road make it a preferred choice over Conrad Centennial Singapore for future stays.
The JW Marriott Auckland is still refurbishing its guest rooms and suites (with an expected completion date in November 2024). I stayed in a Deluxe Room (non-refurbished) and have found the experience to be lacking of a typical JW Marriott property.
Used one of my Nightly Upgrade Awards (NUAs) at the W Osaka to secure a beautiful Marvelous Suite. The hotel is located on Midosuki Boulevard and within walking distance to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori.
