It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Hyatt – Globalists since day one of World Of Hyatt and longtime Diamonds under the old Gold Passport loyalty program before that – but a common complaint has always been that Hyatt doesn’t have a large enough footprint of properties.
Over the last few years, Hyatt has been busy opening new hotels, making acquisitions and expanding their reach.
They have also been following the trends and have noticed the growth in leisure travel and bleisure travel and are looking to capitalize on this opportunity. A few days ago they announce a very ambitious opening schedule for this year and into 2023,
“Listening to our guests, World of Hyatt members, and customers has never been more important. As we continue in our recovery from the pandemic, we remain very intentional about where the Hyatt brand footprint grows to ensure we’re present in markets that matter most to the leisure-focused traveler of today and tomorrow,” said Jim Chu, Hyatt’s executive vice president, global franchising and development. “Our pipeline of new properties signals that Hyatt is well poised to deliver against the demand for more leisure travel experiences in places like Cozumel, Panama City, Punta Cana, and South Beach, and priority urban destinations, including Denver, Montréal, Oakland, and Memphis, which will welcome the first Caption by Hyatt hotel.”
Debuting New Hyatt Brands in New Markets
To continue driving brand awareness and World of Hyatt loyalty program growth, Hyatt expects to thoughtfully expand its brand footprint in the Americas through 2023 in 11 new markets with hotel openings under the Dreams, Hyatt Centric, Hyatt House, Hyatt Place, Hyatt Regency, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, and Thompson Hotels brands.
