Hyatt Hotels Plans Expansion in India with New Brands and Acquisition Strategy

 Hyatt Hotels Corporation is intensifying its expansion strategy in India, positioning the country as a key growth market across its global portfolio.  

With an established presence, the company is now focusing on brand expansion and strategic investments to strengthen its footprint. 

Expansion Through New Brand Introductions 

As per PTI report, the company is actively working towards introducing its global brands such as The Standard and UrCove in India. Discussions with potential partners are currently underway to facilitate entry into the market and cater to evolving consumer preferences. 

"Currently, we are exploring and talking with our different partners for introducing The Standard and UrCove brands in India," Stephen Ho, President Greater China and Growth, Asia Pacific, Hyatt, said. 

Hyatt currently operates 55 properties with around 10,500 keys in India and offers 9 brands in the country. This is expected to increase to 10 with a new launch in Jaipur. 

Focus On Organic and Inorganic Growth 

The company is pursuing a balanced approach, combining organic expansion with inorganic opportunities such as acquisitions. It is evaluating partnerships with financial institutions and developers to scale its presence. 

"We have 36 brands globally, of which we currently have 9 in India that will go up to 10 with the addition of The Destination in Jaipur expected this year. India is our top market presenting opportunities for all our brands.  

Over the next couple of years, we are looking at both organic and inorganic growth in the country, focusing on creating distinctive, experience-led destinations," David Udell, Group President, Asia Pacific, Hyatt, said. 

Hyatt is also considering setting up a dedicated investment platform in India, similar to its Atona Impact Fund in Japan, to support acquisitions and development projects. 

Strong Pipeline and Long-Term Vision 

The company plans to add five new properties in India during the current year, including locations such as Bhopal, Bengaluru, Lansdowne, and Jaipur. 

"As we continue to see strong and sustained confidence in the India market, we expect to accelerate our growth, which will help us reach over 110 properties by 2030 in the country," Udell added.
