Hyatt Hotels plans to rebrand Thompson Playa del Carmen Main House and Beach House to Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen. The hotel is expected to reopen late this year. Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen will continue to have two stay experiences with an adults-only retreat at the ‘Downtown House’ and a family-friendly escape at the ‘Beach House.’
Rebranding Thompson Playa del Carmen Main and Beach House to Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen was a strategic decision based on the hotel’s location in Playa del Carmen, a key differentiator for the Hyatt Centric brand. The hotel is situated on Fifth Avenue or ‘La Quinta Avenida,’ a street filled with shopping, dining, entertainment and nightlife stretching five miles long through the center of Playa del Carmen’s downtown.
“We are thrilled to join the growing Hyatt Centric brand and offer guests and World of Hyatt members a true launch pad that sparks curiosity to explore La Quinta Avenida and Playa del Carmen,” Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen GM Ankara Angulo said in a statement. “I look forward to leading this chapter of Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen’s journey and introducing new experiences to this vibrant and dynamic beach town.”
Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen will have 119 guestrooms and suites, including 92 guestrooms and suites at the adults-only 'Downtown House’ and 27 suites at the family-friendly 'Beach House,’ with mid-century modern décor, custom furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows with city or ocean views. Suites provide living areas and outdoor balconies with comfortable day beds or plunge pools. Additional amenities include a walk-in rain shower, and share-worthy art and styling elements that celebrate the character of the destination.
‘Downtown House’ will have rooftop social atmosphere taking inspiration from La Quinta Avenida’s vibrant culture. On the rooftop of ‘Downtown House’ guests will find UMI Urban Kitchen, a contemporary twist on international urban classics, and Alessia Dayclub, an exclusive rooftop experience with a full-length infinity pool, swim-up bar, luxury cabanas, music and a special calendar of events.
Those staying at the ‘Beach House’ will be transported by a Volkswagen Vintage Beetle after completing the check-in process at the ‘Downtown House.’ This serene beachfront oasis offers an elevated experience perfect for romantic honeymoons, wedding celebrations or family vacations. The ‘Beach House’ will have an oceanfront pool, 27 suites with views of the Caribbean Sea and C Grill, a signature restaurant serving Mexican, Caribbean and international dishes.
Hyatt Centric Playa del Carmen will have versatile outdoor and semi-outdoor event space designed by architectural firm Niz + Chauvet, providing the perfect setting for non-traditional business meetings, corporate retreats, incentive trips, weddings and more. The 27-room ‘Beach House’ is ideal for buyouts, providing a private and exclusive experience for groups.
