Hyatt Hotel Corporation 

The Hyatt brand dates back to 1957, when founder Jay Pritzker purchased the original Hyatt House motel near the Los Angeles International Airport. In 1967, the Hyatt Regency brand debuted in Atlanta, Georgia, followed two years later by the first international Hyatt Regency in Hong Kong. The company opened a central reservations office in Omaha, Nebraska in 1972.

​

In the following decades, the Grand Hyatt and Park Hyatt brands were launched along with the Hyatt Gold Passport loyalty program. In the 2000s, the company introduced the Andaz, Hyatt House, and Unbound Collection brands, among others, and purchased Two Roads Hospitality, with its collection of brands including Thompson Hotels and JdV Hospitality.

Hyatt is also highly active in the all-inclusive segment as the owner of the Hyatt Ziva, Zilara, Secrets Resorts & Spas, and Dreams Resorts & Spas brands, among others.

​

Hyatt Hotel Corporation operates out of Chicago, Illinois, with 1,150 properties, over 350,000 hotel rooms, and 23 brands in 70 countries. The company’s loyalty program, rebranded as World of Hyatt in 2017, reported over 16 million members in 2019. 

In 2022, Hyatt reported an annual revenue of 5.9 billion USD and an increase in RevPAR of 60.2% over 2021. At the time, the company had approximately 117,000 rooms in its development pipeline.
