Hyatt's Andaz brand is coming to Utah as it takes on mountain luxury
HEBER CITY — Hyatt Hotels Corporation plans to expand one of its luxury brands into Utah, opening its first mountain-themed hotel.
Andaz Heber Valley is slated to open in January 2029, Hyatt announced on Thursday. It’ll feature 85 guest rooms within The Slope, a mixed-use development with 140 private villas and 62 condominiums that Angstrom Development Group is building in the area.
While Hyatt officials didn’t disclose the hotel’s planned location, the property is near the Provo River and Deer Valley’s East Village and will serve visitors to the Wasatch Backcountry for its ski resorts and other outdoor activities, such as hiking and mountain biking. Once open, Utah will be the seventh state to have an Andaz hotel, a brand known for “local surroundings and infused with local culture.”
The facility will feature “design and well-being from a global perspective over familiar alpine clichés,” Hyatt officials said. They added that they seek to “emphasize local craftsmanship, materiality and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape” with the property’s architecture and interiors.
