The highly anticipated Park Hyatt St Kitts is “still on track” for a November 2017 opening, the property said in a statement.

The news comes after the passage of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which largely spared the twin-island federation of St Kitts and Nevis.

“Sadly, not all communities in the Caribbean are reporting the same story and our immediate thoughts and hearts go out to those who have been impacted,” the property said.

The property, which will be set in the Christophe Harbour development on St Kitts’ southeastern peninsula, will include 78 rooms and 48 suites, each with a private balcony or terrace, along with three dining concepts and a 7,000-square-foot event space.

It will be the first Park Hyatt hotel in the Caribbean region.
