Hyatt and Cobbo Bay Developers Announce Plans for Hyatt Regency Cap Cana
March 9, 2011Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) has announced that a Hyatt affiliate and Cobbo Bay Developers SA signed a management and licensing agreement for Hyatt Regency Cap Cana Hotel, Villas, and Residences to be located in Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic. A Hyatt affiliate will be a minority equity investor in an affiliate of Cobbo Bay Developers, the entity which will develop and own the hotel, villas, and residences.
Slated to open in early 2014, the new 201-room Hyatt Regency Cap Cana will be located on Juanillo Beach within the exclusive master planned resort community of Cap Cana, which currently includes a marina; the Punta Espada Golf Course, the first of three planned Jack Nicklaus signature golf courses, two beach clubs, and several single family and multi-family residential developments. In addition to the hotel, the project will also include 46 Hyatt Regency-branded residences and 12 villas. Located within the Dominican Republic’s preeminent resort development, Hyatt Regency Cap Cana will boast more than 1,300 feet of white sand beachfront.
“The development of Hyatt Regency Cap Cana represents an outstanding opportunity to further Hyatt’s expansion in the Caribbean and on rapidly growing island of the Dominican Republic, which welcomed over 4 million visitors in 2010,” said Pat McCudden, senior vice president, real estate and development – Latin America, Caribbean, and Mexico for Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. “Having a presence in Punta Cana will further Hyatt’s goal of becoming the most preferred brand in all the segments we serve by adding a hotel in this key resort destination where Hyatt is not currently represented.”
