Hyatt Hotels
Corporation (NYSE: H) and El Pardo Hospitality today announced plans
for The Legend Paracas Resort in Paracas, Peru to join the Destination by Hyatt
brand, marking the introduction of the brand in South America. Expected to join
the Destination by Hyatt brand in June 2024, the hotel is currently undergoing
a phased enhancement project to elevate guestrooms, offer new culinary options,
and redesign public areas. Enhancements will be done in a thoughtful manner
over the next 24 months in an effort to avoid impacting the guest
experience.
“We are very excited to join Hyatt’s Independent
Collection and deliver the Destination by Hyatt brand promise in the charming
town of Paracas, Peru,” said Ricardo Bracale, CEO of El Pardo Hospitality.
“This next chapter will allow us to further elevate our value proposition and
offer guests and World of Hyatt members an even more personalized and memorable
experience that allows a sense of connection to the unique culture and
community of Paracas.”
Located
on the coast of Peru about three hours south of Lima, The Legend Paracas Resort
is nestled between the Paracas Natural Reserve and the Pacific Ocean, offering
panoramic views of Paracas Bay and rugged desert hills. The Legend Paracas
Resort is comprised of 124 well-appointed suites each boasting private
balconies or terraces that unveil breathtaking ocean, garden or pool vistas.
The design reflects the natural beauty of the surrounding Paracas National
Reserve, gathering inspiration from the natural wonders and historical legacy
of Paracas, with rich woods and inviting fabrics to create a deep sense of
place.
Additional
amenities include a well-equipped fitness center, an ocean-facing pool with a
swim-up bar, a state-of-the-art spa and a range of curated experiences such as
kitesurfing, wakeboarding, kayaking, paddleboarding, sandboarding, buggy
excursions and engaging kid-friendly activities and programs. The hotel offers
a dynamic on-site restaurant and bar with locally inspired Peruvian cuisine and
creative cocktails.
The
Destination by Hyatt brand is a diverse collection of independent hotels,
resorts and residences that are individual at heart yet connected by a
commitment to embody the true spirit of each location. Each property is
purposefully crafted to be a place of immersive discoveries, authentic design,
and warm and welcoming service. As an honored host, each Destination by Hyatt
property connects guests to both people and place—offering a sense of belonging
that invites all to make our destination yours.
“It’s
a true pleasure to collaborate with El Pardo Hospitality on this exciting
project and expand Hyatt’s brand presence in a new market in South America,”
said Cristiano Gonçalves, vice president, development – South America. “Our
plan to thoughtfully grow our brands in South America continues, and we look
forward to introducing guests and World of Hyatt members to new cultural
experiences in one-of-a-kind destinations.”
Venturing
out a short distance will offer a glimpse into the rich history and fascinating
pre-Columbian cultures of the region, fulfilling guests’ desires for
exploration, adventure and creativity. Embark on a boat tour to the Ballestas
Islands, a natural wildlife sanctuary with sea lions, penguins, pelicans, and
marine birds, or explore the diverse landscapes of Paracas National Reserve and
hike through desert trails and unique rock formations.
Located
in the Santo Domingo area of Paracas, Peru, The Legend Paracas Resort will mark
the second Hyatt hotel in Peru following Hyatt Centric San Isidro Lima and the
15th Hyatt hotel in South America. The Destination by Hyatt portfolio continues
to grow in Latin America and the Caribbean following the previously announced
Cas En Bas Beach Resort in St. Lucia.
When
the property joins the Destination by Hyatt brand, World of Hyatt members will
have the opportunity to experience the warm culture and community of Paracas
and earn points on stays to use toward free nights, dining, wellbeing
experiences and more.
