Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach, a First for Thailand, Now Open for Guests

Hyatt’s swanky Andaz brand has officially debuted in Thailand with the opening of the Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach.

Here’s what you need to know.

Resort Has Over 200 Rooms and Suites

The Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach, a 15-acre beachfront resort, is now open for visitors. Jomtien is a small town on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. It’s about a 2-hour drive from Bangkok.

Each room features walk-in rain showers and a balcony or terrace with a daybed. Depending on your room type, you’ll either stay in a Lagoon Access Room, which offers direct access to the resort pool, a Pool Suite, which offers private pools, or a Beachfront Suite, located directly on the beach.

The hotel features 6 dining options, from authentic Thai cuisine to a steakhouse.

The opening of this new resort marks Hyatt’s debut of the Andaz brand in Thailand, which is steadily growing in the Asia Pacific region. Andaz properties can now be found in Bali, Delhi, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, Tokyo, and Xiamen.

“With the growing demand for immersive, authentic experiences among luxury travelers, we are delighted by the launch of the vibrant Andaz brand in Thailand, one of the world’s most appealing destinations,” said David Udell, Group President, Asia-Pacific, Hyatt.
