Funny, that Hyatt would advertise to discover the Andaz on their own website, when it is still far from being ready...

Talking to several Hyatt Execs, none of them seem very hopeful about this project. In fact, several said they'd be surprised if it ever opens, at least as an Andaz. Definitely disappointing.

I have confirmed that all of the management hired for this project including the general manager and sales team were released from their positions in December.

We regularly go to PS and projects in general seem to take forever there for whatever reason....just look at how long the crappy mall stood virtually empty in downtown as an eyesore and how long it took to build what is there now. The Andaz project site seems to have been doomed from the beginning. There’s been talk of various hotels coming to town like a Virgin Hotel, aloft, etc, etc, and nothing ever gets done. I’m surprised the Kimpton actually got built!

it doesn't mention any new proposed opening date, but assume it would be mid 2021 earliest.

FWIW, from the Desert Sun's Facebook feed:
The long-delayed, partly-constructed Andaz Palm Springs hotel has landed in bankruptcy court, with the controlling entity planning to sell off the property in a court-overseen sale amid $50 million in claims
