With respect to the addition, Relevant Group’s managing partner, Grant King stated, “This property not only perfectly sits at the storied intersection of the technology, media and entertainment realms, but will inevitably heighten Hollywood’s visibility as a coveted hospitality destination.”

Solid Expansion Drives Growth

Hyatt aims to differentiate its brands from one another by providing distinct travel experiences. Hyatt is also consistently trying to expand its presence worldwide and has expansion plans in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. Expansion in these markets is expected to help the company gain market share in the hospitality industry, thus boosting business.

Notably, the company continues to expand in diverse international markets like Australia, Brazil, Germany, the U.K., Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, Netherlands South Korea, Canada and the Caribbean.

Coming to share performance, Hyatt has surged 33.9% in the past year compared with the Zacks Hotels and Motels industry’s 30% rally. Notably, the company has been benefitting from a gradual increase in demand, new hotel openings and acquisition initiatives. Markedly, occupancies in most areas of Greater China have reached pre-COVID-19 levels owing to a rebound in domestic travel. Also, increased focus on loyalty program bodes well.
