International hotel chains expand in Aruba
Three major international hotel chains have announced multi-million dollar investment plans for Aruba.
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts is to operate a new hotel in capital Oranjestad, under its new-generation Hyatt Place brand, while a new Hard Rock Hotel will open in Oranjestad later this year.
The third chain, RIU is to buy and rebrand the existing Westin Aruba Resort. The resort will close next week and reopen in a year’s time.
