Hyatt has doubled the number of luxury rooms, tripled the number of resort rooms, and quintupled the number of lifestyle rooms it offers globally since 2017. All of this growth has cemented the hotelier as the fastest-growing luxury portfolio with the largest number of luxury-branded rooms in resort locations worldwide. Recently, Hyatt has opened several more properties and these combined with what’s planned will see Hyatt open more than 20 luxury hotels in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean through 2025.
Hyatt Is Acquiring The Standard and Bunkhouse Hotels
Hyatt recently announced that it is acquiring The Standard and Bunkhouse Hotels brands. These will become part of a new dedicated lifestyle group and add 21 hotels with approximately 2,000 rooms to Hyatt’s growing portfolio.. It will also include the world-class restaurant and nightlife affiliates purchased as part of this deal (these include The Boom Boom Room, The Standard Grill, Le Bain, and more). Following the transaction’s close, Hyatt will add the Standard International properties into its World of Hyatt loyalty program. This provides even more exciting options for the program’s 48 million members.
Crystal Vinisse Thomas, Vice President and Global Brand Leader for Hyatt’s Luxury and Lifestyle Brands, said:
We are engaged with our guests and World of Hyatt members and taking in their feedback helps us strengthen our understanding of the key markets and leisure experiences that resonate with and excite them the most. From Deer Valley to Miami to Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico, our luxury and lifestyle brands’ expansion in new and key markets is driven by our desire to offer travelers more opportunities to explore the unique communities our hotels are a part of and the chance to embark on incredible experiences with Hyatt.”
Hyatt plans to add several new hotels across prime leisure markets in Americas in 2024. Here are the hotels that have recently opened or will this year:
- The Legend Paracas Resort (joined the Destination by Hyatt brand on June 18th)
- Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas (rebranded Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa that opened on September 9th)
- Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica (opened September 18th)
- Thompson Palm Springs (expected to open September 30th) This has been a long time coming.
- Hyatt Centric San José Escazú (expected to open in October 2024)
- Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo (expected to open in October 2024)
- Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort (expected to rebrand from Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch in October 2024)
- Grand Hyatt Deer Valley (expected to open in November 2024). This will be the first Grand Hyatt in Utah.
- Andaz Miami Beach (expected to open December 2024). This hotel was The Confidante Miami Beach. It left a lot to be desired and I’m excited to see it rebranded and renovated. My full review is here.
- Maison Métier (expected to join The Unbound Collection by Hyatt in 2024) More here.
Additionally, Hyatt is planning to open the following hotels in 2025:
- Thompson Miami Beach (Early 2025)
- Cas En Bas Beach Resort St. Lucia (Destination by Hyatt, early 2025)
- Secrets Baby Beach Aruba (February 2025)
- Park Hyatt Los Cabos at Cabo del Sol (Spring 2025)
- Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa (Dominican Republic, April 2025)
- Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa (Dominican Republic, April 2025)
- Dream Valle de Guadalupe (Mexico, July 2025)
- Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman Resort & Spa (2025)
- Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa (2025)
- Hyatt Centric Querétaro (Mexico, 2025)
- Hyatt Centric Isla Verde San Juan (2025)
- Breathless Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa (2025)
- Dreams Grand Island (2025)
The biggest complaint about Hyatt has always been its limited footprint. That has quickly changed and as it continues to expand (especially for leisure destinations) this will no longer be on people’s minds.
Anthony’s Take: I have been a Hyatt Globalist for many years and am closing in on my Lifetime Globalist status. With all of these great choices, it will be easier than ever before.

Not sure if I consider the 3 rebranded/reflagged properties in the first section to be “New” as they are not new in the Hyatt portfolio.
New under those names 🙂
