Hyatt Hotels Open Nearly 90 New Luxury And Lifestyle Hotels Across Asia Pacific
Hyatt Hotels Corporation has recently announced its extensive plans to extend its luxury and lifestyle brand portfolios across the Asia Pacific region. With an estimated opening of almost 90 properties within the next five years, this expansion will include the Thompson Hotels brand’s first-ever appearance in the region.
With a significant presence in key destinations like Thailand, Malaysia and Australia, the group will introduce prominent landmarks like The Standard, Pattaya Na Jomtien, which is set to open its doors in 3Q2025, boasting a 60s-inspired beach club aesthetic.
This lucrative expansion is in response to the growing demand for luxury travel within the Asia Pacific, and Hyatt plans to cater to this market with 64% of its portfolio consisting of luxury and upper-upscale hotels and resorts.
The group has seen a significant increase in its luxury rooms globally since 2017, with a doubling in number, a tripling in its resort rooms and a whopping five-fold growth in its lifestyle rooms.

With a rooftop designed for live entertainment and a range of events, the hotel is sure to be a favourite amongst travellers.

Looking ahead, another significant addition to their portfolio is the introduction of Park Hyatt Phu Quoc, the first Park Hyatt resort in Vietnam.
