Tourexpi
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H)
continues the strategic expansion of luxury and lifestyle hotels with a
significant development pipeline of more than 20 recent and planned openings
across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean through 2025.
This planned growth will expand Hyatt’s brand footprint in several new regional
markets, allowing Hyatt to care for guests and World of Hyatt members in more
places and on more stay occasions.
Since
2017, Hyatt has doubled its number of luxury rooms, tripled its number of
resort rooms, and quintupled its number of lifestyle rooms globally. This
growth establishes Hyatt as the fastest-growing luxury portfolio with the
largest number of luxury-branded rooms in resort locations worldwide and
underscores Hyatt’s position as the premier hotel brand for high-end travelers
seeking rich and experiential luxury, resort and lifestyle stays. Hyatt found
in its recent Mid-Year 2024 Consumer Sentiment and Travel Expectations Report
that 88% of consumers are showing a steady intent to travel for leisure.
“We
are engaged with our guests and World of Hyatt members and taking in their
feedback helps us strengthen our understanding of the key markets and leisure
experiences that resonate with and excite them the most,” said Crystal Vinisse
Thomas, vice president and global brand leader for Hyatt’s luxury and lifestyle
brands. “From Deer Valley to Miami to Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico, our luxury
and lifestyle brands’ expansion in new and key markets is driven by our desire
to offer travelers more opportunities to explore the unique communities our
hotels are a part of and the chance to embark on incredible experiences with
Hyatt.”
Looking
ahead, Hyatt will offer guests more iconic lifestyle brands and experiences
through the planned acquisition of lifestyle pioneer Standard International.
Enhancing its position as a leading lifestyle hospitality leader, Hyatt will
launch a new dedicated lifestyle group that will include The Standard and
Bunkhouse Hotels brands, as well as many of its world-class restaurant and
nightlife affiliates (The Boom Boom Room, The Standard Grill, Le Bain, and
more). Following the transaction’s close, Hyatt is planning to welcome Standard
International properties into World of Hyatt, bringing even more celebrated
lifestyle options to its 48 million loyalty members.
