Hyatt Hotels has announced that it intends to increase their United Kingdom portfolio 30% over the next two years.
This follows the recent launch of the 217-key Hyatt Place Leeds and the 88-key Hyatt Leeds, designed for extended stay, earlier this month in Chicago in Chicago. In addition, in October 2024, the group made his debut in the UK’s first Park Hyatt London River Thames.
Hyatt plans to increase more than 1000 rooms in the UK over the next two years, identifying the “priority market” of the area. Possible expansions include Oxford, Cambridge, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Cardiff, York, Bath and Belfast.
The United Kingdom is currently Hyatt’s third largest market in the EAME region after Germany and Spain.
The upcoming openings include the 87-room Hyatt London Paddington, the third Hyatt Place in the capital and the 200-room Hyatt Regency London Olympia, which is the seventh Hyatt Regency of the UK.
Hyatt has rapidly expanded its UK’s portfolio in recent years and is now 17 hotels under nine brands.
As a result, Hyatt has more than doubled the number of his rooms in the United Kingdom and has tripled his property footprint since 2017.
With Q4 2024, Hyatt recorded 5% of the requests for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions in Europe compared to Q4 2023, and 7,000 are from the United Kingdom.
Anna Corkill, Development Director of the UK and Ireland, said: “The United Kingdom is still Hyatt’s primary growth market. We are committed to expanding the selection of brands in places that are most important to our guests, our customers and our owners, and I do not doubt that the Kingdom continues to participate in the Hyatt.
