Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) continues to strategically grow
its luxury and lifestyle brand footprint with a strong development pipeline of
more than 30 planned hotels and resorts in the Americas region through 2025,
including the expansion of Hyatt brands into new markets. Over the last five
years, globally, Hyatt has doubled its number of luxury rooms, tripled the
number of resort rooms, and quadrupled the number of lifestyle rooms – and the
momentum continues. Hyatt is the fastest growing luxury portfolio, with luxury,
lifestyle, and resort hotels now making up over 40% of Hyatt's portfolio,
reinforcing its position as the premier hotel brand for high-end travelers.
Hyatt continues its transformative growth journey through thoughtful
acquisitions, expanding its offerings for guests and members. Through the
completed acquisition of Mr & Mrs Smith, a global travel
platform that provides direct booking access to a carefully curated and growing
collection of global boutique and luxury properties, World of Hyatt members
will have even more rewarding stays and experiences to choose from.
Additionally, following Hyatt’s early 2023 acquisition of Dream Hotel Group – a vibrant
portfolio of lifestyle hotel brands including Dream Hotels, The Chatwal, The
Time New York and Unscripted Hotels – World of Hyatt members can unlock more
stay options and lifestyle experiences across destinations like Nashville,
Hollywood, South Beach and New York City. The acquisition also helps Hyatt
expand its brand presence in a flourishing new leisure market in Mexico with
the forthcoming Dream Valle de Guadalupe (2024) situated over 35
acres in the Baja California region incorporating a large vineyard, 61
guestrooms and villas, a luxury spa and wellness concept and three highly
activated dining and nightlife venues, including a private tasting room and
pool bar.
“The thoughtful growth of Hyatt’s luxury and lifestyle brands reflect
the current demand for authentic leisure travel experiences,” said Crystal
Vinisse Thomas, vice president and global brand leader for Hyatt’s luxury and
lifestyle brands. “As we look ahead to 2024 and beyond, we strive to create
more opportunities for high-end travelers to reconnect in immersive retreats,
explore the hearts of new destinations, and revisit their tried-and-true
favorites.”
