Hyatt Hotels Corp. will open its first Andaz-branded hotel in Canada with the launch of Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market, scheduled for mid-2016. This addition brings the Andaz portfolio to Canada alongside other flagship properties in global cities such as London, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai and Tokyo.
Situated in Ottawa’s lively ByWard Market district, just east of the city’s main commercial core, the 200-room hotel will offer a destination restaurant and a rooftop bar and lounge. The rooftop includes an outdoor terrace that provides panoramic views across the city, creating a striking setting for guests and visitors.
The property’s meeting and event facilities will feature six Andaz Studios, complemented by a pre-function and lounge area and an open kitchen concept. In total, these spaces will provide approximately 4,500 square feet of flexible function space suitable for meetings, small conferences and social events.
“We are pleased to expand our brand presence in Canada. Andaz was a natural fit for Ottawa’s ByWard Market neighborhood,” said David Tarr, senior vice president of development – Americas, Hyatt. “Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market will bring to life the brand’s mission of creating inspiring, indigenous experiences and immersing guests into the destination’s local culture. We believe Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market will convey the vibrant, international spirit of Canada’s capital city.”
The new hotel aims to reflect the character of its surroundings by combining contemporary design with local influences, targeting both leisure and business travelers who seek authentic, design-forward accommodations. With ample public spaces, dining options and event venues, Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market is positioned to become a dynamic hospitality destination in the heart of one of Canada’s most historic neighborhoods.
