Over the past five years, Hyatt has witnessed substantial growth globally, doubling the number of luxury rooms, tripling the number of resort rooms and quadrupling the number of lifestyle rooms.

This growth has solidified Hyatt’s position as a premier hotel brand for high-end travellers, with luxury, lifestyle and resort hotels now making up more than 40% of its portfolio.
