Hyatt luxury brands to the fore

An ambitious programme of more than 20 new luxury hotels and resorts to be opened worldwide by the end of 2020 was announced last week by Hyatt Hotels, covering six brands.

The line-up includes properties under the Park Hyatt, Andaz, Alila, Grand Hyatt, Miraval and The Unbound Collection by Hyatt portfolios, with The Unbound Collection label seeing its strongest growth in Europe to date.

Included in this brand are the newly-opened former Metropolitan Police headquarters Great Scotland Yard in London and the Hotel du Palais Biarritz, former imperial residence of Napoleon III, due to reopen in June 2020 after an extensive renovation.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2020, the Park Hyatt brand is also a key contributor to the luxury expansion, with five hotels in the 2020 pipeline in Doha, Jakarta, Niseko, Suzhou and Auckland.

For the Alila brand, three luxury resorts are scheduled to open in Switzerland, Malaysia and Oman. In addition, six Andaz-branded luxury lifestyle properties are due to open in Palm Springs, Dubai, Prague, Bali, Shenzhen and Xiamen.

The Grand Hyatt brand is also set to continue to grow with openings in Hefei and the Shenzhou Peninsula in China, Kuwait, Gurgaon in India, Jeju in South Korea and Nashville, along with the first Grand Hyatt hotel in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
