Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced its plans to expand its luxury and lifestyle brand portfolios across the Asia Pacific region. The company expects to open nearly 90 properties over the next five years, including new entries for the Thompson Hotels, Andaz, The Standard, and Park Hyatt brands in destinations such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia.
Since 2017, Hyatt has seen significant growth in its luxury rooms globally. As of the first quarter of 2025, 64% of Hyatt’s hotels and resorts in Asia Pacific are positioned within the luxury and upper-upscale segments. Carina Chorengel, Senior Vice President, Commercial, Asia Pacific at Hyatt said, “Today, luxury is about authenticity and unique experiences. Our recently refined brand architecture and expansion in luxury and lifestyle portfolios allow us to cater to discerning travelers with focus and differentiation.”
The introduction of the Thompson Hotels brand in Asia Pacific marks a significant milestone for Hyatt’s lifestyle portfolio. Expected to open in Q4 2025, Thompson Shanghai Expo will be inspired by Shanghai’s industrial legacy and cosmopolitan energy.
Hyatt will also continue expanding the Andaz brand with upcoming locations like Andaz Gold Coast in Australia and Andaz One Bangkok set within Thailand’s One Bangkok development. Following its acquisition of Standard International’s brands in 2024, Hyatt is further investing with new properties like The Standard Pattaya Na Jomtien opening this year.
Park Hyatt will debut in Malaysia with Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur in August 2025. The hotel will be located atop Merdeka 118, offering cultural-inspired interiors and culinary experiences. Additionally, Park Hyatt Tokyo will resume operations after enhancements later this year.
Hyatt’s development pipeline includes several other notable openings across Asia Pacific through 2026. These efforts reflect the company’s strategic focus on capturing growth potential within the region’s luxury travel market.
