 Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the launch of the adults-only Hyatt Vivid brand with the opening of Hyatt Vivid Grand Island in Cancun, Mexico. The modern all-suite resort offers a relaxed atmosphere with a host of enriching experiences to complement the resort’s lush surroundings.

“Hyatt offers brands that meet guests and members across every stay occasion and every walk of life. The debut of Hyatt Vivid Grand Island represents an exciting new chapter in the Inclusive Collection’s story,” said Melanie Benozich, associate vice president, marketing & global branding. “The Hyatt Vivid brand allows Hyatt to continue to excite our existing guests and members on more occasions while also introducing the all-inclusive concept to new travelers who prefer a casual atmosphere. We’re thrilled to see the brand promise of flexibility over formality come to life for the first time with the opening of Hyatt Vivid Grand Island in Cancun.”

Located just ten minutes from the famed Cancun hotel zone and adjacent to Dreams Grand Island, which is scheduled to open later this year, the sleek high-rise resort touts the perfect blend of modern design and inviting appeal. Setting the stage for joyful moments, guests enjoy local flavors with grab-and-go culinary options, take part in authentic experiences, and discover the true meaning of connection, all set within a gated community.

We are elated to welcome guests and members to their new home away from home.”
