Park Hyatt Hotel to Open 2017 in Foz Do Iguaçu, Brazil

Park Hyatt Foz do Iguaçu will be located in the city of Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná in southwest Brazil. The city is home to Iguaçu National Park, a world heritage site that is world-renown for its waterfalls aptly named Iguaçu Falls. The national park shares its borders with Paraguay and Argentina, making it a coveted resort, eco-travel and meetings and incentives destination.



The hotel will be an important component of a mixed-use development that will be situated on a 98-acre parcel of land located on the riverbank of the Iguaçu River. The development will also include 30 Park Hyatt-branded two and three-bedroom homes, residential sites for single-family homes and a 25 acre protected nature reserve. Park Hyatt Foz do Iguaçu will offer the brand’s signature personalized services with 170 luxury rooms and suites, four restaurants and bars, a spa, a fitness center, an outdoor pool, and more than 16,146 square feet (1,500 square meters) of meeting and event space. The hotel is located 15 minutes from downtown Foz do Iguaçu and approximately six miles (10 kilometers) from Foz do Iguaçu National Park.

The Park Hyatt brand recently debuted its global flagship hotel, Park Hyatt New York, in Manhattan at 153 West 57th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, which is within walking distance to Central Park and across the street from historic Carnegie Hall. The hotel marks a significant milestone for the Park Hyatt brand, giving it representation in a key market and boosting the brand’s global visibility. In Latin America and the Caribbean, Park Hyatt hotels are located in Argentina with Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires and Park Hyatt Mendoza. In addition, Park Hyatt hotels are under development in Los Cabos, Mexico, the Riviera Maya in Mexico, and St. Kitts in the Caribbean.
