CHICAGO—Hyatt Hotels Corporation continued the expansion of luxury and lifestyle hotels with a development pipeline of more than 20 recent and planned openings across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean through 2025. This planned growth will expand Hyatt’s brand footprint in several new regional markets.
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 underscores Hyatt’s position as a hotel brand for travelers seeking experiential luxury, resort, and lifestyle stays. Hyatt found in its recent Mid-Year 2024 Consumer Sentiment and Travel Expectations Report that 88 percent of consumers are showing an 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 lifestyle brands and experiences through the planned acquisition of Standard International. Hyatt will launch a new lifestyle group that will include The Standard and Bunkhouse Hotels brands, as well as many of its restaurant and nightlife affiliates (The Boom Boom Room, The Standard Grill, Le Bain, and more). Following the transaction’s close, Hyatt is planning to add Standard International properties into the World of Hyatt program.
Hyatt plans to add several new hotels across prime leisure markets in Americas in 2024, from the first Andaz hotel in Florida and the debut of the Hyatt Centric brand in Costa Rica to the first Grand Hyatt properties in Arizona and Utah. Recent and upcoming 2024 openings and renovations include:
