Hyatt announced today that they would open 40 hotels on the US West Coast by 2021. They’re really just describing the current pipeline and there are a few things to note. We know about several of these properties already.
This significant growth in Hyatt’s footprint, however:
- They’re stretching to get to their 40, separating out the Park Hyatt LA Oceanwide from the Park Hyatt LA Oceanwide Residences. Some of the properties do not have names they’re releasing yet.
- Limited service is the name of the game. 25 of the 40 are in the Hyatt House or Hyatt Place brands. Then there’s the first tommie micro lifestyle hotel. Only 4 properties are in the Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Andaz and Hyatt Regency brands.
Several of these were already under development with Two Roads Hospitality, which Hyatt acquired late last year and which are expected to become part of World of Hyatt this year.
Hyatt is too small and skews too heavily towards limited service properties for the bet they’re making on affluent travelers interested in a lifestyle brand willing to commit to World of Hyatt. Their development pipeline helps somewhat on the size component, doubles down on limited service.
Plays like acquiring Two Roads Hospitality’s brands and building an alliance with SLH hotels help on size as well, but don’t alter the order of magnitude dynamics that separate Hyatt from Hilton, Marriott, IHG, or Accor in terms of scale.

Do you just not edit before you publish? what does “Openng mean?”
Jason,
Congrats on your recent graduation from douchebag university.
Signed,
Everyone
the Andaz Palm Springs was expected to open in mid-to-late 2016… I’ll believe it when I see it opening this year.
KL,
You want to be taken seriously, master the basics. It’s not hard.
Jason – You click, you read the gist of the important info, you move on. If you want “quality proofread” essays, go sign up for the NYT, WSJ or something, and actually PAY for your subscription where actual journalist gets paid to do these jobs. If not, quit complaining and enjoy the free quality content Gary and this community has been constantly putting up for us.
Three hotels in Hollywood, California in the next 24 months? Alrighty then.
Gary, Oceanwide, not Oceanside.
Oceanside is a city halfway between SD and LA. Oceanwide is a development in downtown LA.

Too many limited service properties are the focus with Hyatt these days. It’s my biggest gripe and why I tend to focus (despite the many many shortfalls) on Marriott. I am sure the peanut counters have their reasons but I would like to see more Grand and Park brands opening in the U.S. and Europe.
Now, if we can just get the hugest of entries into Hyatt with a purchase of Four Seasons and the world would end as we know it.
So if I read this right, they’re adding FOUR new brands. Wow.
