Hyatt (H) to Boost Presence in The Americas With 45 New Hotels
Read MoreHide Full Article
Backed by the high demand for leisure travel in 2021-end and early 2022, Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H - Free Report) announced plans to expand its presence across the Americas region. Along with Apple Leisure Group’s AMR Collection brands (Secrets and Dreams), the company intends to add 45 new properties across key urban destinations through 2023.
To support this initiative, the company signed management and franchise agreements for hotel openings in 11 new markets and 19 existing markets across the Americas. The hotels and resorts will join the likes of the Dreams, Hyatt Centric, Hyatt House, Hyatt Place, Hyatt Regency, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, and Thompson Hotels brands.
Jim Chu, Hyatt’s executive vice president, global franchising and development, stated, “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.”
Focus on Expansion
Hyatt aims to differentiate its brands by providing distinct travel experiences. It is also consistently trying to expand its presence worldwide and plans to expand in Cozumel, Panama City, Punta Cana and South Beach, Denver, Montreal, Oakland and Memphis. To this end, the company announced a solid pipeline of developments that are likely to cater to the company’s intention to expand in the Americas market.
Some of the anticipated openings in new markets for 2022 include Dreams Karibana Cartagena Beach & Golf Resort (in Cartagena, Colombia), Hyatt Centric Ville-Marie Montréal (Montréal, Québec), Hyatt Centric San Salvador (Antiguo Cuscatlan, El Salvador), Hyatt House Monterrey Valle/San Pedro (Monterrey, Mexico), Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown (Gainesville, FL), Hyatt Place Kent Narrows & Marina (Grasonville, Maryland), Hyatt Place Monterrey Valle (Monterrey, Mexico), Hyatt Place Montréal Downtown (Montréal, Québec), Hyatt Place Panama City Beach (Panama City Beach, Florida), Hyatt Place St. Augustine/Vilano Beach (St. Augustine, FL), Hyatt Regency Mexico City Insurgentes (Mexico City, Mexico) and Numu which will join The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, (San Miguel de Allende, Mexico). The company plans to open Dreams Estrella del Mar Mazatlan (Mazatlan, Mexico) in 2023.
We believe that expansion in these markets would likely help the company gain market share in the hospitality industry and boost business.
