About

Hyatt Hotels Corporation was founded in 1957 by Jay Pritzker in Chicago when he purchased the Hyatt House motel near Los Angeles International Airport. Over the following decades, the Pritzker family built Hyatt into a global hospitality brand known for upscale and luxury properties, with a particular strength in convention hotels, resort destinations, and urban business travel. The company's mission centers on delivering genuine care through meaningful human connections — a philosophy embedded in its service culture and loyalty program.\n\nHyatt operates 1,050+ properties across more than 20 brands, spanning luxury (Park Hyatt, Alila), upper-upscale (Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency), lifestyle (Andaz, Thompson), and select-service (Hyatt Place, Hyatt House) segments. Its World of Hyatt loyalty program is consistently rated among the best in the industry for point value and redemption flexibility. Recent brand expansions include the acquisition of Apple Leisure Group (all-inclusive resorts) and lifestyle brands that target younger, experience-focused travelers.\n\nHyatt reported FY2024 revenue of $6.648B with global RevPAR growth of 4.6% and net room growth of 7.8%, reflecting both strong leisure demand and a recovery in corporate and group travel. Adjusted EBITDA reached $1.096B for the year. Hyatt's asset-light strategy — transitioning to a fee-based model through managed and franchised properties — has been central to improving margin quality and capital efficiency, positioning the company for sustained earnings growth as global travel demand continues to normalize and expand.

The company achieved a record 72,000 new room openings in 2025, pushing its global development pipeline to a record 259,000 rooms (+3% YoY).
