凱悅酒店集團旗下一公司已經獲得位于里約熱內盧高端住宅商業區巴哈德提胡卡海濱的一家公司的主要股份，這家公司共有46000平方米，并計劃開發為有408間房間的君悅酒店。

      里約熱內盧君悅酒店將設有2間服務齊全的餐廳、休閑酒吧、池畔吧、法式蛋糕店、健身中心和SPA，一間900平米的宴會廳還有1300平米的額外空間。

      拉美、加勒比海地區和墨西哥的房地產開發高級副總裁Pat McCudden說：“凱悅進入巴西酒店業是凱悅集團開拓國際市場戰略中極其重要的一部分。在凱悅品牌還未出現或即將出現的地方，里約熱內盧君悅酒店的發展代表著凱悅深化品牌認知的一個重要機遇。”

      除了里約熱內盧君悅酒店外，凱悅酒店集團在全球還有10家君悅酒店在開發中，集團在拉丁美洲的酒店位于阿根廷、巴西、智利和墨西哥。

       A Hyatt Hotels Corp. affiliate has acquired a majority interest in a 46,000-sq.-m oceanfront property in Barra da Tijuca, an upscale residential and commercial district of Rio de Janeiro, with plans to develop a 408-key Grand Hyatt.
       Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro will feature two full-service restaurants, a lounge bar, a pool bar, a patisserie, a fitness center and spa, a 900-sq.-mr grand ballroom and 1,300 sq. m of additional space.
       Expanding Hyatt’s presence in Brazil is a critical component of the company’s international growth strategy, says Pat McCudden, senior vice president of real estate and development in Latin America, Caribbean and Mexico. “The development of Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro represents a significant opportunity to further Hyatt’s goal of becoming the most preferred brand in all the segments we serve by expanding in locations where Hyatt brands are not represented or are underrepresented.”
        In addition to Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro, 10 other Grand Hyatt properties are under development around the world. Hyatt’s portfolio in Latin America includes hotels in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico.
