Hyatt plans 30% boost to UK portfolio
Hyatt Hotels Corporation plans to grow its UK portfolio by more than 30% through 2026, adding more than 1,000 rooms.
It includes the recent opening of dual-branded Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds.
Upcoming openings include Hyatt Place London Paddington and Hyatt Regency London Olympia, which are anticipated to create around 250 new UK jobs over the next two years.
The just opened 217-key Hyatt Place Leeds caters to multi-tasking travellers, with a convenient guest experience while the 88-key Hyatt House Leeds is designed for extended stays, with tailored living accommodations such as a well-equipped kitchenette and apartment-style amenities.
Shared amenities include a 24/7 fitness centre, bar and marketplace, as well as meeting spaces, Azotea rooftop bar and Zoom restaurant.
Hyatt Place London Paddington: This hotel will mark the third Hyatt Place property in the capital, offering 24/7 conveniences with 87 rooms.
Hyatt Regency London Olympia will be the fifth Hyatt Regency hotel in London and seventh in the UK. The hotel is housed within a listed Art Deco building, with over 200 rooms.
Hyatt has more than doubled the number of rooms in the country and tripled its number of properties since 2017.
The Hyatt portfolio has grown to 17 hotels in nine brands in the UK, with the opening of Park Hyatt London River Thames marking the latest debut in October 2024.
In Q4 2024, Hyatt said it saw a 5% increase in MICE business compared to Q4 2023.
“The UK remains a priority growth market for Hyatt. We have no doubt the UK will continue to be a strong contributor to Hyatt’s growth journey in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East,” said Anna Corkill, Regional VP of Development for the UK & Ireland.
“Sustaining momentum is key, but we want to grow sensibly and intentionally. We see great potential in locations like Oxford, Cambridge, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Cardiff, York, Bath, Dublin and Belfast.”
