Hyatt Hotels Corp. plans to introduce its first Andaz-branded hotel in Canada with the opening of Andaz Ottawa Byward Market in mid-2016. The new property will join Andaz hotels currently located in world-class cities including London, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai and Tokyo.

Located in Ottawa’s Byward Market neighborhood immediately east of the city’s commercial office core, the 200-room hotel will feature a destination restaurant and rooftop bar and lounge including an outdoor terrace offering panoramic views of the city. Meeting space will include six Andaz Studios as well as a pre-function and lounge area with an option 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, 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.”
