Hyatt Hotels has announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into management and related agreements with LFG Property for a Caption by Hyatt hotel in Sydney, Australia.
Slated to be completed in early 2025, this development will mark the debut of the Caption by Hyatt brand in the country, which offers a hotel experience grounded in the local community where the people make the place.
The Caption by Hyatt brand strives to remix hospitality by combining the design and comfort of an upscale, lifestyle-forward hotel with the flexibility and self-guided options of a select-service property.
The hotel will be centrally located in Haymarket, a vibrant multicultural neighborhood at the southern end of the Sydney Central Business District, home to the city’s Chinatown, bustling markets, lively dining scene, and the Capitol Theatre. Its location will also be in an ideal position with convenient proximity to Darling Harbor, Sydney International Convention Centre, several universities and the new Tech Central innovation and technology precinct.
Construction has begun on a purpose-built 174-guestroom hotel building design developed by GCCV architects featuring eclectic interior design courtesy of Mitchell & Eades, being constructed by Hickory Group.
Anchored by a contemporary-meets-urban industrial style, the property will feature a layering of colors, textures, and thoughtful hand-drawn graphic art decorating vibrant social and dining spaces. A signature marquee sign will welcome guests into the hotel, leading into Talk Shop – the Caption by Hyatt brand’s food and beverage concept, a lively welcome area and all-day lounge that serves as a workspace, coffee shop, eatery, grab-and-go artisanal market and cocktail bar. Menus will feature locally inspired all-day items and will serve as the social hub of the hotel.
“As a brand centered on enabling authentic connections and experiences for today’s tech-savvy traveler, this new development will create an environment where guests and locals alike can feel at home, in a space that reflects the character of the community,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt.
The first Caption by Hyatt hotel debuted in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2022, with further openings planned for Australia, China, Japan and Vietnam over the next two years.
Globally, Hyatt has doubled the number of luxury rooms, tripled the number of resorts and quadrupled the number of lifestyle rooms in its portfolio in the last five years.
