Hyatt Hotels Corporation is setting its sights on nearly doubling its footprint in India, planning to reach 100 properties within the next 5-6 years. With India's hospitality market growing at an unprecedented rate, this ambitious target reflects Hyatt's dedication to catering to the surging demand for high-quality travel experiences across the country.

Currently, Hyatt operates 52 hotels in Southwest Asia (50 in India and two in Nepal) under nine distinct brands, having already crossed the 10,000-key milestone. “With our strong pipeline and strategic growth initiatives, we are confident that we will achieve the milestone of 100 hotels within the next 5-6 years,” stated Sunjae Sharma, Managing Director for India & Southwest Asia at Hyatt Hotels Corporation. This growth is part of Hyatt’s focused strategy, aiming to tap into India's expanding travel and hospitality market by delivering personalized, luxury, and lifestyle-focused experiences.

The expansion will see Hyatt introduce more global brands to India while reinforcing its core brands, such as Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Place, and Hyatt Centric. The company also recently introduced the ‘Grand Showroom’ at Grand Hyatt Mumbai, an innovative venture designed to enhance hyper-personalized guest experiences and showcase Hyatt’s diverse hospitality offerings.

In line with its expansion goals, Hyatt has slated Hyatt Regency properties in Kasauli and Ghaziabad and Hyatt Place hotels in Aurangabad and Haridwar. Expanding into new countries, Hyatt Place Dhaka Uttara will soon open in Bangladesh, and India will welcome The Unbound Collection in Bhopal in 2025, reflecting the brand’s increasing regional diversity.

Hyatt's growth strategy in India aligns with what the company calls the “LLLLW” approach: loyalty, luxury, leisure, lifestyle, and wellness. "India is among Hyatt Hotels' top global growth markets, and we see tremendous potential for continued expansion in this region," said Sharma. This approach allows Hyatt to meet evolving guest preferences, solidifying India’s position as a key growth market for Hyatt globally.

The company's expansion goals are further supported by the ongoing growth in both domestic and international tourism in India. With a robust demand for luxury and wellness experiences, Hyatt remains optimistic about India's rising position in their global market rankings, with continued development and innovation on the horizon.

Event Details:

Dates: Expansion over 5-6 years
Location: Multiple key destinations across India
