Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H), the Scalesciani family, owner of Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires, and the David family, Mendoza entrepreneurs, today announced plans for Casa Duhau, a new-build luxury hotel – with 52 villas and suites – in Mendoza. As the only hotel in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt in Argentina, Casa Duhau will be part of Reserva Alto Agrelo, a new development project spanning nearly 1,000 acres that will also feature a premium winery and 116 luxurious residential lots for sale. Hotel construction is expected to begin by the end of 2025, with an anticipated opening date in late 2027.
As part of Hyatt’s Luxury Portfolio, Casa Duhau will be located in Alto Agrelo, Mendoza, one of the most significant wine regions in the world, leaving travelers approximately 30 minutes from the city of Mendoza and 35 minutes from El Plumerillo International Airport. Inspired by the surrounding environment of nearly 100 acres of vineyards and fruit trees, Reserva Alto Agrelo will be home to Bodega Agrelia, a premium boutique winery with world-class expertise from winemakers Michel Rolland and Marcelo Pelleriti, along with Casa David – Wine & Horses, an equestrian club with an advanced facility offering a veterinary clinic and training center for horses, 24-box stable, a state-of-the-art laboratory, and more.
The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand is a thoughtful curation of stories worth collecting. Whether it’s a modern marvel, a historic gem or a revitalizing retreat, each luxury property provides thought-provoking environments and experiences that inspire guests seeking elevated service when they travel. With panoramic views of Cordón del Plata, a mountain range in Mendoza, and Tupungato, a dormant volcano located on the border between Argentina and Chile, Casa Duhau is set to become an inspiring sanctuary, setting the stage for unforgettable horseback riding adventures, mountain biking, bonfires at sunset, and much more.
The hotel will offer 40 villas strategically located throughout the property to ensure absolute privacy, with extensive views of the Andes Mountains, in addition to 12 spacious suites located in the main building. Guests can expect two signature restaurants, a swimming pool, fitness center, state-of-the-art spa, modern meeting rooms, a lagoon, curated wellness experiences, thoughtful programming and more. Offering the perfect backdrop for a variety of events, Casa Duhau’s gardens, terraces and event hall will set the stage for unforgettable moments. Reserva Alto Agrelo also has a chapel where weddings can be held, allowing for a seamless transition to an extraordinary celebration in one of the thought-provoking venues.
The other major pillar of the master development project will be the Reserva Alto Agrelo residential lots, a gated real estate development on nearly 190 acres of land that lay the groundwork for 116 future residential units. The plans for the residential development call for a private entrance, pedestrian paths, two lagoons and landscaped green spaces.
The wine club of Agrelia, Reserva Alto Agrelo’s boutique winery, plans to offer a membership that includes an annual batch of 72 exclusive bottles of the finest wine with a personalized label carefully selected by prestigious winemakers Michel Rolland and Marcelo Pelleriti. The equestrian club, Casa David – Wine & Horses, also plans to offer access to residents and guests.
The architectural design of Casa Duhau will be led by BMA ARQS, a global firm with offices in Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and Miami, while Martín Zanotti Studio will oversee the interior design, and Fernando González will be responsible for the landscape design. The entire development of Reserva Alto Agrelo will be carried out by Terrandes SAS and BDA Realty (Marcelo Cusmai and Richie Fernandez), who will be responsible for the representation and commercial consulting of Reserva Alto Agrelo residential lots.
Casa Duhau will further expand Hyatt’s Luxury Portfolio presence in Argentina, joining Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires, recently recognized as the #1 Hotel in South America in Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2024, and Park Hyatt Mendoza, a 5-star luxury hotel in Mendoza’s city center.
