Hyatt Hotels Corp. is hardly a newcomer to the worlds of luxury and lifestyle. But the hospitality giant is preparing to dramatically expand its presence across both sectors over the next few years, unveiling plans to open more than 50 luxury and lifestyle hotels by 2026.

From Travel Weeklt, Hyatt plans to add seven Park Hyatt properties to the brand's existing 40-plus hotel stable over the next two years.

Openings slated for 2025 include the Park Hyatt Los Cabos at Cabo del Sol in Mexico, Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Park Hyatt Johannesburg in South Africa, Park Hyatt Phu Quoc in Vietnam and Park Hyatt Taipei in Taiwan.

The lifestyle division will oversee brands like Andaz, Thompson Hotels, JDV by Hyatt, the Standard International portfolio and Breathless Resorts & Spas.

Concurrently, Hyatt is in the process of launching a separate luxury division that will comprise brands including Park Hyatt, Alila, Miraval, Impression by Secrets and The Unbound Collection by Hyatt.
