After over ten years in development, the first phase of the Bahamas-based Baha project – the Grand Hyatt – will open in late May.
The 1800-room hotel and 200,000-square foot convention center, located in the Bahamas’ capital Nassau, will be the first of three hotels to open at the Baha Mar Resort. (The hotel will also have a 95,000-square foot casino). The larger Baha Mar project has been plagued by financial delays and has gone through several owners.
The oceanfront hotel has direct access to the Beach Sanctuary – a beachside oasis –water sports and seven pools, as well as Bahamian art featuring local artists, upscale retail shops and nightly live entertainment.
In addition to 1,800 ocean, fountain and island-view guestrooms, including 230 luxury suites, the hotel will also offer more than 20 food and dining areas including a fresh seafood grill, conch shack, and a Pan-Asian noodle bar.
Amenities include a 30,000-square-feet ESPA spa; 100,000 square foot casino that features 1,140 slots, 119 game table, Jack Nicklaus Signature Design golf course, tennis courts and facilities, and The Baha Mar Convention, Art and Entertainment Center.
