CHICAGO—The Hyatt Centric brand continued its expansion in global hubs. In 2024, the brand grew with hotel openings in Cairo, Egypt; Shanghai, China; San José, Costa Rica; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; and more. Building on its momentum, the brand plans to introduce over 35 new hotels worldwide by the end of 2028. This planned expansion will bolster the brand’s portfolio by 50 percent and reach over 100 Hyatt Centric hotels globally by 2029. The next three years are expected to see regional growth in Asia Pacific, increasing the brand’s footprint in the region by over 75 percent. Several new hotels will also open across the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East.
“As part of our strategic brand realignment and bringing more focused expertise and support to five distinct brand portfolios, the Hyatt Centric brand serves as a fantastic addition to our Classics Portfolio, a group of captivating brands offering timeless style and unrivaled care in the world’s most-traveled places,” says Emily Wright, vice president, global brand leader, Hyatt’s Classics & Essentials Portfolios. “The brand’s recent growth, including openings and planned developments, meets the rising demand from guests and members, especially Millennial and Gen Z travelers, for more contemporary accommodations with playful details, sophisticated furnishings, and socially connected spaces.”
