CHICAGO 28 May 2019: Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced Monday that 21 new luxury hotels and resorts are in the pipeline and should open across the Asia Pacific region by the end of 2020.
The expansion includes seven Park Hyatt branded properties, six hotels each under the Grand Hyatt and Andaz brands and two Alila branded resorts, boosting Hyatt’s luxury portfolio in the region by more than 25%.
“We are excited to expand our luxury portfolio in the region, bringing the Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Andaz and Alila brands to destinations that matter most to our guests,” said Hyatt senior vice president commercial, Asia Pacific, Carina Chorengel.
The seven Park Hyatt hotels are expected to open within two years – a significant milestone for Hyatt, which adds an average of one Park Hyatt property per year.
The Andaz brand is set to double its footprint in Asia Pacific with new openings in major cities such as Seoul, Dubai and Shenzhen, alongside resort destinations such as Bali, as well as Sanya and Xiamen in China.
Set to join the World of Hyatt loyalty programme later this year following its integration into the Hyatt portfolio in 2018, the Alila brand will add two resorts in Malaysia and Oman next year.
Additionally, the Grand Hyatt brand continues its steady growth momentum with new openings in emerging cities in China, India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
“We see enormous potential to grow our luxury portfolio in Asia Pacific, which currently accounts for 40% of Hyatt’s overall portfolio in the region,” said Hyatt senior vice president real estate and development Asia Pacific, Patrick Finn.
