Hyatt and ALG Plan Big Expansion in Americas
Hyatt Hotels has big expansion plans for the next few years. They have already announced new hotels in Europe, and more luxury and lifestyle brands in Asia Pacific. Now Hyatt has revealed plans to accelerate its brand growth in the Americas region.
Fueled by growing leisure travel demand, 45 hotels are expected to join Hyatt’s portfolio of brands, including Apple Leisure Group’s AMRTM Collection brands, in 2022 and 2023. Hyatt has signed management and franchise agreements for hotels in 11 new markets and 19 existing markets across the Americas.
“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,” said Jim Chu, Hyatt’s executive vice president, global franchising and development.
