Hyatt has opened the Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen Resort, its first Grand Hyatt-branded hotel in Mexico.

The hotel is located in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, which according to the company, is one of the best beach towns in the world. This is also the eleventh Hyatt-branded hotel in the country.

Architecture group Sordo Madaleno used Mayan-inspired textures and materials to design Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen Resort, which features a mixture of modern and contemporary design.

"The hotel has a section of sacred mangrove jungle on the property that serves as a natural wildlife sanctuary."
