The Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Sha Tin opened in February 2009 as the first of the three Hyatt hotels inaugurated in Hong Kong that year. It is a 26-storey teaching hotel built by the New World Development Company and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and managed by the brand Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. The development costs nearly $125m.
The Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Sha Tin is the first international hotel opened in the New Territories region of Hong Kong and is located at the University Station next to CUHK in the Sha Tin district. It stands adjacent to a new teaching facility for the School of Hotel and Tourism Management so it can provide its students experiential learning from the Hyatt Regency team and through internships.
