World of Hyatt Could Lose 22 Hotels in April
Service Properties Trust (SVC), a real estate investment trust which owns a diverse portfolio of 329 properties under multiple brands. It has announced that it has received a notice of termination from Hyatt. The notice is in regards to the management agreement for 22 Hyatt Place hotels owned by subsidiaries of SVC.
Hyatt’s obligations under the management agreement requires minimum returns of $22.0 million annually, and a $50 million limited guaranty. Hyatt is current on its payments, but it recently exhausted this $50 million guaranty and under the terms of the management agreement, Hyatt may terminate the agreement upon 90 days’ notice once the guaranty has been fully utilized. The effective date of the termination noted in Hyatt’s notice is April 8, 2021.
SVC and Hyatt are currently in discussions regarding possible changes to the management agreement which may enable some or all of the hotels to remain Hyatt Place hotels managed by Hyatt. But, if these discussions do not result in a mutually acceptable agreement, SVC expects to transition management of the 22 hotels to Sonesta on April 8, 2021 under the Sonesta Select brand. SVC also owns 34% of Sonesta.

I stayed at one of the above listed “Hyatt” properties in February, and it was the worst Hyatt ever! Now it makes sense to me – it wasn’t actually managed by Hyatt. It really damaged the Hyatt reputation, IMO.
