Hyatt Centric is continuing with its expansion worldwide, with multiple new properties to open in the coming years.
Hyatt Centric’s expansion
In 2024, Hyatt opened various new hotels under the Hyatt Centric brand, including in cities such as Cairo, Egypt; Shanghai, China; San José, Costa Rica; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic amongst others. Building on this momentum, the brand plans to introduce over 35 new hotels worldwide by the end of 2028.
This planned expansion will bolster the brand’s portfolio by 50% and reach over 100 Hyatt Centric hotels globally by 2029. The next three years are expected to see substantial regional growth in Asia Pacific, increasing the brand’s footprint in the region by over 75%, with several new hotels across the Americas, Europe and the Middle East.
As part of our strategic brand realignment and bringing more focused expertise and support to five distinct brand portfolios, the Hyatt Centric brand serves as a fantastic addition to our Classics Portfolio, a group of captivating brands offering timeless style and unrivaled care in the world’s most-traveled places. The brand’s recent growth, including openings and planned developments, meets the rising demand from guests and members, especially Millennial and Gen Z travelers, for more contemporary accommodations with playful details, sophisticated furnishings and socially connected spaces.
Emily Wright, Vice President – Global Brand Leader for Hyatt’s Classics & Essentials Portfolios said.
