CHICAGO, Illinois—Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced plans to expand Hyatt’s luxury and lifestyle brand portfolios across the Asia Pacific region, with a pipeline of close to 90 properties expected to open over the next five years. This growth includes the debut of the Thompson Hotels brand in the region alongside new entries and expansion for Andaz, The Standard, and Park Hyatt brands in 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, and the company is responding to the demand in Asia Pacific. As of the first quarter of 2025, 64 percent of Hyatt’s Asia Pacific hotels and resorts are in the luxury and upper-upscale segments.
“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,” said Carina Chorengel, senior vice president, commercial, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “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.”
