Grand Hyatt Goa and Hyatt Centric Chandigarh are the latest properties to embrace this revolutionary concept, initially introduced to India by Hyatt at Grand Hyatt Mumbai in 2019

India, 28 August 2024: Hyatt today announced the globally acclaimed offering - Le Petit Chef experience at Grand Hyatt Goa and Hyatt Centric Sector 17 Chandigarh, marking a significant milestone in India’s dining experience.
