Hyatt Hotels ventures into eight new markets, marking its presence in 27 cities across India

Hyatt Hotels has announced adding another 2,100 guestrooms to their vast repertoire of rooms, through new openings. They will be throwing open the doors to more than 14 properties over the next 24 months.

Apart from expanding in gateway cities, the hospitality group is now laying more emphasis on leisure and cultural destinations, with a focus on emerging cities within India. Hyatt plans to expand its brand footprint in Kerala with the opening of Hyatt Regency Kochi Malayattoor, a resort property on the banks of Periyar River and Hyatt Regency in Thrissur.

Hyatt also plans to add its first resort in the foothills of the Himalayas with the opening of Hyatt Regency Dharamshala resort in the second half of 2019. The latter part of 2019 will also witness the scheduled opening of Grand Hyatt Gurgaon. The upcoming hotels will add over 1,000 guestrooms to Hyatt’s existing offerings in India and will establish its brand presence in four new markets.

With the planned expansion, the Hyatt group will spread its wing in eight new markets in the country, thereby establishing its brand presence across 27 cities in India over the next two years.

 “For Hyatt, India has a high growth potential and remains a market where we can expand our brand representation. Being focused on intentional growth gives us a unique edge as Hyatt can differentiate by having the right assets in its portfolio,” said Sunjae Sharma, vice president operations-India, India. “We look forward to collaborating with owners who want personal, flexible relationships and to stand out in a slightly overcrowded market. Most importantly, we want to be where our guests are travelling, and our growth strategy is in line with their preferred destinations.”
