As The Unbound Collection by Hyatt celebrates its 10th anniversary, Hyatt Hotels Corporation is pleased to announce four recent and upcoming new additions to the brand across 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.
Established 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 narratives and elevated service. The addition of these four properties, reflect the brand’s continued momentum and commitment to showcasing singular hospitality experiences. From Fuji Speedway Hotel in Japan to Hôtel du Louvre in Paris, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt is defined by proudly independent properties with a distinct point of view.
“Ten years on, this collection continues to bring together hotels with unmistakable individuality,” said Tamara Lohan, Global Brand Leader – Luxury, Hyatt.”
Hotel 1000: A Design-Led Urban Retreat in Seattle

Located near Seattle’s revitalized new waterfront, and walking distance to both Pike Place Market and the stadium district, Hotel 1000 offers a refined, design-forward retreat that reflects the spirit of the Pacific Northwest. Across its 120 guest rooms and suites, interiors embrace a palette of deep oceanic hues, polished dark woods and soft, textural layers—balancing plush minimalism with a warm, residential feel. Expansive windows frame 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 into the space.
Public areas continue this narrative of comfort and locality. Rosebay, the hotel’s cocktail lounge, pairs curved ochre-upholstered banquettes with vibrant artwork and layered wood textures, offering an inviting, intimate setting from day to night. At All Water Seafood, the design draws inspiration from the city’s maritime heritage, complementing a seafood-driven dining experience rooted in regional identity.
From serene, contemporary spaces such as window-view standalone bathtubs in nearly every room with luxurious bath amenities to thoughtfully composed interiors that prioritize both beauty and livability, Hotel 1000 captures Seattle through a lens of modern, place-driven design—an approach recently recognized with a MICHELIN One Key distinction.
The Georgian: Santa Monica’s Grande Dame Returns
Originally opened in 1933 along the Santa Monica waterfront, The Georgian stands as a beloved landmark from the golden age of Hollywood. The art deco hotel welcomed legendary figures such as Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin and Clark Gable, while its basement speakeasy famously drew notable guests during the final days of Prohibition.
Recognizable by its striking turquoise façade as the first high-rise ever built in Santa Monica’s Ocean Avenue, The Georgian underwent a meticulous revival and reopened in 2023. Today the 84-room property, including 28 suites, celebrates its glamorous past while delivering modern luxury.
Guests can enjoy Mediterranean-inspired cuisine at Sirena, unwind in the atmospheric Georgian Room steakhouse and piano bar, and explore thoughtfully curated spaces including a library, boutique and dedicated event venues. Vintage-inspired touches—from in-suite mini bar cocktail buzzer systems for the champagne toast, the martini, or the usual—complete the hotel’s nostalgic yet contemporary character, earning it the enduring nickname “The First Lady of Santa Monica.”
Cayo Levantado Resort: A Private-Island Escape off the coast of the Dominican Republic
Set on a secluded island off the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, Cayo Levantado Resort offers a serene retreat surrounded by lush tropical landscapes and pristine white-sand beaches. Expected to join The Unbound Collection by Hyatt this summer, the resort features 218 suites set among swaying palms and framed by sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea.
The island destination offers multiple restaurants and bars, curated daily activities including watersports, cultural experiences and conservation initiatives such as species identification through guest submitted photos, and 24-hour personal ambassadors dedicated to creating personalized guest experiences.
Wellness lies at the heart of the resort’s philosophy. The island’s Yubarta wellness zone, inspired by Taíno healing traditions, anchors a holistic approach to wellbeing 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 in mid-summer 2026 and currently accepting reservations, The Clayfield will introduce a refined 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 its surrounding vineyards, the interiors layer warm ochres, soft greys and deep earth tones with natural materials and tactile finishes. Architectural lines subtly echo the cadence of the vines, creating spaces that feel both modern and enduring—an approach that reflects a distinct sense of “earth elegance” and subtle sophistication.
The Spa at The Clayfield will offer a bespoke menu of treatments inspired by the region’s natural elements, with a particular focus on mineral-rich clay and the surrounding vineyard landscape. Signature experiences will include clay-based body rituals and vinotherapy, incorporating antioxidant-rich, grape-derived ingredients to support restorative, sensorial wellness. This connection to Niagara’s viticultural heritage extends beyond the spa through a collaboration 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 calming, multi-sensory experience that reflects the rhythm and richness of the surrounding landscape.
A New Chapter for The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
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.
