The additions will be across the Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Miraval, Alila, Andaz, Thompson Hotels, and The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brands, as well as Inclusive Collection lines, Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts and Dreams Resorts & Spas.
National debuts
While maintaining its asset-light approach, Hyatt has doubled the number of luxury rooms, tripled the number of resort rooms, and quadrupled the number of lifestyle rooms in only five years. With 70% of its rooms categorised as luxury and upper upscale, the Hyatt portfolio has grown to meet increased demands for luxury and resort accommodations.
The group’s luxury footprint is expanding to meet that demand in new international markets. This includes the debut of Park Hyatt hotels in the UK, Mexico, and Malaysia; the Thompson Hotel brand’s expansion in Europe with the first properties in Austria and Italy; the Andaz brand’s growth in the Americas with its first hotel in the Caribbean; The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand’s first property in India; as well as Hyatt luxury growth in the trending destination of Portugal, with the planned openings of Andaz Lisbon and Dreams Madeira Resort, Spa & Marina.
Wellbeing demand
Hyatt is meeting travellers’ demand for more holistic wellbeing offerings by developing specialised and immersive spas in 2024 site additions such as Park Hyatt Los Cabos at Cabo del Sol, Mexico and Park Hyatt Marrakech in Morocco that will act as wellness destinations.
