CHICAGO
– Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced plans to expand Hyatt’s luxury and lifestyle brand portfolios across Asia Pacific, with a robust pipeline of close to 90 properties expected to open over the next five years. This strategic growth includes the debut of the Thompson Hotels brand in the region alongside significant new entries and expansion for Andaz, The Standard and Park Hyatt brands in sought-after destinations including Thailand, Malaysia and Australia in 2025 and 2026.
Since 2017, Hyatt has doubled the number of luxury rooms, tripled its resort rooms, and grown lifestyle rooms five-fold globally.

As of Q1 2025, 64% of Hyatt’s Asia Pacific hotels and resorts are in the luxury and upper-upscale segments, reflecting Hyatt’s leadership in delivering high-end and distinct experiences to capture this growth potential.
Today, luxury is about authenticity and unique experiences. Our recently refined brand architecture and expansion in luxury and lifestyle portfolios allow us to cater to discerning travelers with focus and differentiation. We are excited about offering enriching experiences that will further strengthen Hyatt’s position as a leader in luxury and lifestyle hospitality in the region.

In addition, Andaz Shanghai ITC, the brand’s second property in the city, will be located amidst Shanghai’s leading commercial neighborhood.
