Hyatt has 90 luxury & lifestyle hotels in the pipeline in Asia-Pacific

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has plans to expand Hyatt’s luxury and lifestyle brand portfolios across Asia Pacific. It represents a robust pipeline of close to 90 properties expected to open over the next five years.

This strategic growth includes the debut of the Thompson Hotels brand in the region alongside significant new entries and expansion for Andaz, The Standard and Park Hyatt brands in sought-after destinations including Thailand, Malaysia and Australia in 2025 and 2026.

64% of Asia hotels in the luxury and upper-scale segments

Since 2017, Hyatt has doubled the number of luxury rooms, tripled its resort rooms, and grown lifestyle rooms five-fold globally. As one of the key regions driving the luxury travel market, the demand in Asia Pacific continues to surge and Hyatt is strategically expanding to meet it.

As of Q1 2025, 64% of Hyatt’s Asia Pacific hotels and resorts are in the luxury and upper-upscale segments, reflecting Hyatt’s leadership in delivering high-end and distinct experiences to capture this growth potential.

“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,” said Carina Chorengel, Senior Vice President, Commercial, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “We are excited about offering enriching experiences that will further strengthen Hyatt’s position as a leader in luxury and lifestyle hospitality in the region.”

Thompson Hotels brand set to debut in Asia Pacific

The introduction of the Thompson Hotels brand in Asia Pacific signifies a milestone moment in the expansion of Hyatt’s lifestyle portfolio, reflecting its continued investment in experiences for culture-savvy travelers. The New-York originated brand blends heritage and modernity to create a stylish home base for the socially and culturally attuned traveler.

Expected to open in Q4 2025, Thompson Shanghai Expo is inspired by the city’s industrial legacy and cosmopolitan energy – a collision of experiences inspired by contemporary design, art and innovative gastronomy. Its signature experiences reflect the growing appetite for cultural programming, featuring time-limited crossovers with cultural partners as well as a rooftop with live entertainment and engaging events.

Andaz and The Standard bring lifestyle concepts to new markets

Hyatt will also mark the continued expansion of the Andaz brand, celebrated for its cultural immersion and unique lifestyle offerings. Andaz Gold Coast will debut in Australia and the Pacific in a world-class integrated resort. Andaz One Bangkok will be at the edge of Lumpini Park as part of the prestigious One Bangkok development. In addition, Andaz Shanghai ITC, the brand’s second property in the city, will be located amidst Shanghai’s leading commercial neighborhood.

Following its acquisition of Standard International’s brands in 2024, Hyatt continues to invest in the brands’ footprint across the region. This includes The Standard, Pattaya Na Jomtien, set to open in Q3 this year, featuring a playful, 60s-inspired beach club aesthetic that is equal parts chill and charged.

Park Hyatt elevates personal luxury

The Park Hyatt brand will also make its Malaysian debut with Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur in August 2025. The property is set atop The Merdeka 118, the tallest skyscraper in Asia Pacific. The property will offer the pinnacle of refined luxury through cultural-inspired interiors and culinary experiences. Its unique Cacao bar, the highest in town, will be the first chocolate-themed bar in the city. The bar will make the hotel a must-visit destination for travelers who increasingly put culinary experiences center stage in their itineraries.

In a reflection of how the iconic brand continues to redefine luxury, Park Hyatt Tokyo will celebrate its 30-year legacy. The property is reopening following a comprehensive refinement that enhances its comfort and preserves its iconic luxurious ambience. Expected to resume operations in Q4 2025, the hotel will reimagine the timeless elegance of its 171 guestrooms and suites. It will also launch authentic dining concepts that promise to captivate luxury travelers.

Park Hyatt Phu Quoc, the first Park Hyatt resort in Vietnam, is expected to open in Q1 2026. Along an expansive mile-long white sand beach and lush hills, guests can look forward to exquisite convergence of contemporary art, timeless craftsmanship, and personalized service.
