Hyatt’s two select-service brands, Hyatt Place and Hyatt House, expanded their global presence significantly in the second quarter of 2016, driven by new openings in Asia Pacific.
Of the 10 new hotels that opened under the two brands in the April-June 2016 period, 40% were located in Asia Pacific. These included the first dual-branded Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels, located in Shenzhen. The launch of the 112-room Hyatt House Shenzhen Airport also marked the brand’s debut in Asia.
And this expansion is set to continue in the coming months and years; Hyatt recently signed the Hyatt House Kuala Lumpur Mont’Kiara, which will become the brand’s first property in Southeast Asia when it opens in 2017.
Previously in March 2014, Hyatt penned an agreement for 16 Hyatt Place hotels and six Hyatt House properties to open across China, several of which have already been launched.
Other regional openings for the brands in Q2 included the 161-room Hyatt Place Phuket Patong, 167-room Hyatt Place Shenzhen Airport and 248-room Hyatt Place Luoyang.
Combined with new openings in Washington DC, Kansas City, Cleveland, Chicago, Chicago O’Hare Airport and London Heathrow Airport, the two brands added more than 1,600 rooms to their combined global inventory in Q2 2016.
“The openings of four Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels in Asia Pacific are a testament to our commitment to strategic growth for these brands throughout the region and the world,” said Steve Haggerty, Hyatt’s global head of capital strategy, franchising & select service. “We are proud that Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels continue to meet travellers’ needs in key cities globally, further demonstrating the overall strength and resonance of the brands with developers, owners and guests.”
Both Hyatt Place and Hyatt House aim to offer guest-friendly accommodation and services, with 24-7 self-service amenities. Hyatt Place focuses on the short stay market while Hyatt House caters for extended stays.
