Hyatt Hotels Corporation plans to open 21 new luxury hotels and resort in Asia-Pacific by the end of 2020, boosting its portfolio in the region by 25 per cent.
The expansion is comprised of seven Park Hyatt branded properties, six hotels each under the Grand Hyatt and Andaz brands, and two Alila branded resorts.

“We are excited to expand our luxury portfolio in Asia Pacific, bringing more distinct experiences through the Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Andaz and Alila brands to destinations that matter most to our guests,” said Carina Chorengel, senior vice-president, Commercial, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “As we expand our resort, lifestyle and wellbeing offerings, we will better cater to today’s increasingly diverse luxury travellers who seek greater personalization, whether they are travelling for business or leisure.”
Opening seven Park Hyatt hotels in under two years will be a significant milestone for Hyatt, which adds an average of one Park Hyatt property a year. The Andaz brand will double its footprint in Asia Pacific with new openings in major cities such as Seoul, Dubai and Shenzhen, alongside resort destinations such as Bali and Sanya and Xiamen in China.
The Alila brand will add two resorts in Malaysia and Oman next year. And, the Grand Hyatt brand will open properties in emerging cities in China, India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
