Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced that a
Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management contract with
Claridge Homes for an Andaz hotel in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. When
Andaz Ottawa Byward Market opens in mid-2016, it will become the

will join Andaz hotels currently located in world-class cities
including London, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, and Tokyo.

The 200-room Andaz Ottawa Byward Market will be located at 325
Dalhousie Street in Ottawa’s famed Byward Market neighborhood. The
neighborhood is surrounded by more than two dozen embassies and
consulates and is located immediately east of Ottawa’s commercial
office core, a short walk from Parliament Hill, and just north of
the University of Ottawa campus. The area has become the center of
Ottawa’s nightlife and is surrounded by residential towers,
restaurants and bars.
Guests at Andaz Ottawa Byward Market will experience the
personal style, comfort and sophistication for which the brand is
known in the hotel’s 200 guestrooms, including four two-bay Hyatt
suites, two three-bay Junior suites, and a four-bay Executive Suite
with a fireplace and large 560 square foot terrace. The hotel will
also feature a destination restaurant and a rooftop bar and lounge
including an outdoor terrace offering panoramic views of the city.
Meeting facilities will feature six Andaz Studios as well as the
prefunction and lounge area with an open kitchen totaling
approximately 4,500 square feet.
“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 for
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.”
“We are delighted to bring the first Andaz hotel to Ottawa and
Canada. We believe it will become the new center of social
connections in the Byward Market as well as in Ottawa. The Andaz
brand’s creativity and refined, yet casual atmosphere will elevate
the neighborhood and will connect guests to the best of the local
community,” said Neil Malhotra, Vice President of Claridge Homes.
“Our capital city is host to a diverse group of business and
leisure visitors, making it an international hub for Canada. Andaz
Ottawa Byward Market will not only appeal to the local community,
but will serve a broad group of Canadian and global travelers.”
“I am thrilled that Hyatt and Claridge Homes are working
together to bring Andaz to Ottawa and to Canada,” said Ottawa Mayor
Jim Watson. “The Byward Market is one of the most vibrant parts of
our City and Andaz Ottawa Byward Market will be perfectly situated
within steps of many shops, restaurants, tourist attractions, and
of course the historic Byward Market itself. With several LRT stops
within walking distance, Andaz Ottawa Byward Market will be
well-served by the coming LRT system and perfectly situated for
guests to enjoy the celebrations for Canada’s 150th birthday that
will take place throughout 2017.”
Andaz Ottawa Byward Market will collaborate with local artists,
musicians, designers, and other cultural influencers to deliver
events and programs on themes unique to its location in Ottawa. The
Andaz Salon, the brand’s signature cultural program, features
interactive, on-property and virtual events conceived to support
and nurture each hotel’s community of emerging talent. The
distinctive spaces at Andaz Ottawa Byward Market will stage
creative Andaz Salon events, ranging from talks to exhibitions to
live performances. These events can also be experienced through the
Andaz Salon website at www.andazsalon.com, where unique
content is shared by Cultural Insiders.
