We are proud to welcome Adelphine Pitter as our newly appointed Pre-Opening Manager. A respected professional in the hospitality and tourism industry, Adelphine brings 29 years of experience shaping the landscape of luxury travel in Turks & Caicos. Known for her exceptional leadership and operational expertise, she has been instrumental in recent openings of landmark properties, including Ocean Breeze on North Caicos and The Strand.
Adelphine’s career began in the early 1990s as a front desk receptionist at Grace Bay Club. Her tenacity and commitment to excellence saw her rise through the ranks, contributing to the property’s transformation from a boutique hotel to a world-renowned, 120-key resort. Her guidance was pivotal in opening The Estate at Grace Bay Club in 2009, a standout achievement in her distinguished career.
During her tenure as General Manager of West Bay Club from 2013 to 2022, Adelphine elevated the resort’s reputation through its affiliation with Preferred Hotels of the World and led a remarkable doubling of its revenue. Her visionary leadership earned the property prestigious accolades from publications such as Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure.
In addition to her operational successes, Adelphine served as Chairperson of the Turks & Caicos Tourist Board (2019–2022), where she navigated the nation’s tourism industry through challenging times. She is also a recipient of the prestigious Turks and Caicos National Honors and Awards, celebrating her contributions to the hospitality sector.
Now, as Pre-Opening Manager for Andaz Turks & Caicos, Adelphine embarks on an exciting new journey alongside our team. Her wealth of experience, innovative mindset, and passion for hospitality are invaluable as we prepare to set a new benchmark for luxury in the World of Hyatt.
A Promising Start to 2025
The Andaz Turks & Caicos site is bustling with activity as we continue to make remarkable progress. With the arrival of the first two of seven containers of windows, glazing is just around the corner once the fixings are in place. Tile installation is already underway, with 35% of rooms from the 2nd to the 7th floor completed, as our vision transforms into reality.
Plastering and metal framing are now 60% complete, while essential systems like electrical, plumbing, and fire safety remain ahead of schedule. As we head into the new year, the overall construction timeline is advancing rapidly, bringing us ever closer to unveiling Grace Bay’s most extraordinary luxury resort.
Stay tuned for more updates as glazing begins!

“How Hyatt Has Turned Itself Into a Luxury and Lifestyle Powerhouse”
Hyatt has rapidly transformed its development strategy to become a leader in the luxury and lifestyle hospitality sector. Since 2017, the company has doubled its luxury room count, tripled its resort offerings, and quintupled its lifestyle rooms, achieving exceptional growth across its portfolio. Key initiatives include strategic acquisitions, such as Standard International and the German lifestyle brand “me and all hotels,” known for its vibrant, community-driven spaces that cater to travelers seeking authenticity and creativity. These additions have expanded Hyatt’s footprint in lifestyle and luxury markets. Notably, Hyatt is now the largest operator of luxury-branded resort rooms globally, with 125 properties in 12 countries.
Hyatt’s flexible approach to growth includes a mix of new builds, conversions, and the use of soft brands to adapt unique properties while retaining their distinct character. Additionally, Hyatt continues to innovate by converting office and retail spaces into hotels, such as the transformation of Hyatt Place London City East.
The company is also focusing on expansion into secondary cities and creating unique, story-worthy venues for events. With a strong commitment to diversity, nearly half of Hyatt’s senior leadership roles in the EAME region are held by women, underscoring their dedication to inclusivity. This dynamic strategy, combined with Hyatt’s rapidly growing loyalty program and a purpose-driven approach, positions the brand as a powerhouse in the hospitality industry.
