Hyatt’s Unbound Collection Celebrates 10 Years | News
As The Unbound Collection by Hyatt celebrates its 10th anniversary, Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) is pleased to announce four recent and upcoming new additions to the brand in the Americas region this year: The Georgian in Santa Monica, California, Hotel 1000 in Seattle, Washington, Cayo Levantado Resort in the Dominican Republic and The Clayfield in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.
Founded in 2016, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt is home to some of the world’s most remarkable independent hotels and resorts, each united by distinctive character, rich stories and outstanding service. The addition of these four properties reflects the brand’s continued momentum and commitment to presenting unique hospitality experiences. From the Fuji Speedway Hotel in Japan to the Hôtel du Louvre in Paris, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt is defined by proud, independent properties with a strong point of view.
“Ten years later, this collection continues to bring together hotels with undeniable individuality,” said Tamara Lohan, Global Brand Leader – Luxury, Hyatt.
Hotel 1000: a design-led urban retreat in Seattle
Hotel 1000 is located near Seattle’s revitalized new waterfront and within walking distance of both Pike Place Market and the Stadium District. It offers a sophisticated, designer retreat that captures the spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Across the 120 rooms and suites, the interior embraces a palette of deep oceanic tones, polished dark woods and soft textural layers, balancing soft minimalism with a warm, residential atmosphere. Expansive windows provide sweeping views of Puget Sound and the city skyline, anchoring the experience in place.
Previous updates introduced a moody, sophisticated aesthetic throughout the hotel. Rich finishes and jewel-toned accents create an atmosphere of understated elegance, while a striking installation of hand-blown glass droplets – evoking Seattle’s signature rainfall – adds a sculptural focal point that brings movement and artistry to the space.
Public spaces continue this story of comfort and locality. Rosebay, the hotel’s cocktail lounge, combines curved, ochre-clad banquettes with vibrant artwork and layered wood textures, creating an inviting, intimate setting from day to night. At All Water Seafood, the design is inspired by the city’s maritime heritage, complementing a seafood-based dining experience rooted in regional identity.
From serene, contemporary spaces such as freestanding bathtubs with window views in almost every room with luxury bath amenities to carefully curated interiors that prioritize both beauty and livability, Hotel 1000 captures Seattle through a lens of modern, site-specific design – an approach recently recognized with a MICHELIN One Key award.
The Georgian: Santa Monica’s Grande Dame returns
Originally opened in 1933 on Santa Monica’s waterfront, The Georgian is a beloved landmark from Hollywood’s golden age. The Art Deco hotel welcomed legendary figures such as Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin and Clark Gable, while the basement speakeasy attracted notable guests during the final days of Prohibition.
Recognizable by its striking turquoise facade as the first high-rise ever built on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, The Georgian underwent a meticulous revival and reopened in 2023. Today, the 84-room property, including 28 suites, celebrates its glamorous past while offering modern luxury.
Guests can enjoy Mediterranean-inspired cuisine at Sirena, relax in the atmospheric Georgian Room steakhouse and piano bar, and explore carefully curated spaces including a library, boutique and special events venues. Vintage-inspired touches – from cocktail buzzers in the minibar to the champagne toast, the martini or the usual – complete the hotel’s nostalgic yet contemporary character, earning it the enduring nickname of ‘The First Lady of Santa Monica’.
Cayo Levantado Resort: A private island escape off the coast of the Dominican Republic
Located on a secluded island off the north coast of the Dominican Republic, Cayo Levantado Resort offers a tranquil retreat surrounded by lush tropical landscapes and pristine white-sand beaches. Expected to become part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt this summer, the resort features 218 suites nestled among swaying palms and surrounded by stunning views of the Caribbean Sea.
The island destination offers multiple restaurants and bars, curated daily activities including water sports, cultural experiences and conservation initiatives such as species identification through guest-submitted photos, and 24-hour personal ambassadors committed to creating personalized guest experiences.
Wellness is at the core of the resort’s philosophy. Inspired by Taíno medicinal traditions, the island’s Yubarta wellness zone anchors a holistic approach to wellness with a spa, personal training studio and outdoor fitness areas. Guests can explore four wellness pathways – Renew, Refresh, Relax and Restore – designed to promote physical vitality and mental balance through therapies, movement, meditation and immersive wellness rituals.
The Clayfield: a wine country retreat in Niagara-on-the-Lake
Opening mid-summer 2026, The Clayfield is currently accepting reservations and introducing a sophisticated new retreat in the heart of Canada’s Niagara wine region.
Designed as a contemporary expression of wine country living, The Clayfield draws deeply from the textures and rhythms of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s landscape. Inspired by the region’s clay-rich soils and the geometry of the surrounding vineyards, the interior combines warm ochres, soft grays and deep earth tones with natural materials and tactile finishes. Architectural lines subtly reflect the cadence of the vines, creating spaces that feel both modern and sustainable – an approach that reflects a distinct sense of ‘earthly elegance’ and subtle sophistication.
The Spa at The Clayfield offers a bespoke menu of treatments inspired by the natural elements of the region, with a particular focus on mineral-rich clay and the surrounding vineyard landscape. Signature experiences include clay-based body rituals and vinotherapy, incorporating antioxidant-rich, grape-derived ingredients to support restorative, sensory wellness. This connection to Niagara’s winemaking heritage extends beyond the spa through a partnership with nearby Stratus Vineyards, one of the region’s most respected wineries, creating opportunities for curated tastings and immersive guest experiences rooted in shared values of craftsmanship, sustainability and design. Together, these elements create a soothing, multi-sensory experience that reflects the rhythm and richness of the surrounding landscape.
A new chapter for Hyatt’s Unbound Collection
Together, these four additions will exemplify the diversity and individuality at the heart of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. Looking ahead, the collection will continue to grow with new openings planned for 2027 in the Americas, including The Digby in Savannah, Georgia, and Casa Duhau in Mendoza, Argentina.
