Also the Hyatt Place Xinzhuang has been open for awhile. It shouldn't be labeled "pipeline" anymore.
I'm really looking forward to HR Jinshan and HR Kaohsiung. At that point I'll have Hyatts that I could actually stay at here in Taiwan. Maybe the Andaz Taichung as well although I doubt that would be a practical hotel for me. Might just go once to check it out

Looks like there's also a Hyatt Centric on the site of the old Fullerton hotel in Songshan: https://maps.app.goo.gl/F2CeLSNZSzcHRpSb9

That would be awesome. I still don't see any mention on the Hyatt booking site when searching Taiwan (usually see a "coming soon"). Fwiw they've been posting for those positions for almost a year...just reposting. So I've learned to temper my expectations regarding timeframe.

Here's a photo from last month: https://www.flickr.com/photos/150652...3/53127236955/
The glass is almost to the top, but the interior will take a while...

However if this is the current status I am afraid it won't open in 2024.

New Properties: Taipei - Park Hyatt AND Andaz - @Sky Taipei
https://www.gq.com.tw/article/%E5%8F...rk-hyatt-andaz
Reportedly opening in 2024. Both hotels will be in the same building... I guess if one needed to hop between brands, this will be as easy as it gets.
About time there's some more Hyatt presence.
ETA: Imagine viewing Taipei 101 New Year's fireworks will be pretty splendid site.

Someome posted this in a hyatt FB group previously :
I work for Hyatt, and we have these openings pencilled in for later than you think; the 194-room Park Hyatt is in the lower half of the tower and opens in early 2025, while the 276-room Andaz in the upper half opens in mid-2026.

►"The Sky Taipei" Highlight #03: The reason why Andaz is located on a higher floor than Park Hyatt
As soon as the architectural renderings came out in 2018, it was announced that the floor of the Andaz Taipei Hotel would be higher than that of the Park Hyatt Hotel in Taipei, which immediately aroused a lot of discussion from the outside world. According to common sense, the brand positioning of Park Hyatt is higher than that of Andaz. If the two major hotel brands are in the same building, the floors of Park Hyatt should be higher than Andaz. Regarding this layout, the Shuohe development team also shared with us the reason for Guzhongyuan: "The first is the "moving line". The floors where Andaz is located are the 30th to 49th floors of the back building. Tenants need to take the express elevator from the first floor to the 49th floor. Check in at the hotel lobby, and then go down to the floor where the guest rooms are (30-43 floors); the Park Hyatt is on the 16-28 floors of the back building, but we set the hotel lobby directly on the side facing the park. We think guests staying at the Park Hyatt will appreciate the simple, direct, quiet and low-key process."
"The second consideration is 'landscape'. From an architectural point of view, the height of each floor is higher than the average floor height in Taiwan, so the 16th floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel is almost the 20th floor of the building next to it. Since the surrounding buildings are actually not too high, we believe that the high-altitude scenery that can be seen between the 16th and 28th floors is the most beautiful. If it is any higher, the scenery will become as small as ants. After multiple considerations, we believe it is most appropriate to place the Park Hyatt in the middle of the floor, while Andaz's presence on the high floors also echoes the brand's dynamic and trendy tone."
