Hyatt Hotels Corporation has revealed that Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels in the Americas continue to outperform in leisure, urban, drive-to and mixed-use locations, with 48 new hotels in these brands expected to open across the Americas in 16 new markets for the company in 2022 and 2023.
This planned expansion of the brands in the Americas will represent more than 6,400 rooms planned by year-end 2023, positively contributing to Hyatt’s net rooms growth, which was 19.5% in 2021. This includes growth as a result of Hyatt’s acquisition of Apple Leisure Group (ALG). The anticipated Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels in the Americas represent almost 9% of Hyatt’s total pipeline, and the company will welcome more than 20 new owners to the Hyatt family.
Top-performing select-service brands
Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels in the Americas continue to deliver strong performance, outperforming peers with an almost 400 basis points market share improvement in 2021 over 2019, with leisure, urban and drive-to destinations as some of the top-performing segments in 2021, the company reports. Additionally, the Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands in the Americas led occupancy rates across all regions and Hyatt brands with 65.1% in Q4 2021 or 61.8% for full-year 2021.
“The Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands continue to perform incredibly well, especially among leisure transient guests, with leisure destinations commanding strong ADR,” said Jim Tierney, SVP, development and owner relations, Hyatt. “With an eye toward recovery, we believe these hotels will remain attractive to leisure guests thanks to distribution, value and amenities. For example, in Q4 2021, we saw business transient demand accelerate due to companies returning to the office and business travelers hitting the road again.”
Growing in markets that matter
The 48 hotels expected to open in the Americas by 2023 will expand the Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands into locations where Hyatt’s loyal guests and members are traveling and will bring the brands to 44 markets, 16 of which are new markets for Hyatt, including Montreal; Panama City Beach, FL; Sacramento, CA; and Virginia Beach, VA.
“We continue to grow the Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands in markets that matter to our guests and loyalty members, and in strategic locations where our owners and operators will see meaningful results,” Tierney continued. “From leisure destinations to downtown locations, mixed-use developments to college campuses and airport locations, our pipeline of new properties demonstrates the strength and resonance of the Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands with developers, owners, operators and guests.”
Hyatt Place/House brand innovations
The Hyatt Place and Hyatt House brands continue to innovate to enhance the guest experience, further driving guest loyalty and top-line revenue for owners and operators, the company reports. To align with evolving consumer behavior, Hyatt recently introduced all-day mobile menus with consistent options for guests to view before and during their stays.
The brands’ approach to technology has also evolved based on guest, owner and operator feedback. Today, more than half of Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels are enrolled in the switch to Digital Guest Compendium, an app-less digital solution exclusively designed for Hyatt. This solution provides guests with a clean, consistent and contactless experience to obtain important in-stay information via a QR code unique to each property and, for owners, anticipated reduction in costs and printing needs.
Room keys in Apple Wallet is an industry-first technology offered at more than 25 Hyatt hotels in the U.S., including participating Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels, that enables World of Hyatt members to seamlessly and securely tap their iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock their guestrooms and key card-protected common areas.

Hyatt will grow its select-service portfolio in the Americas, which includes the Hyatt Place, Hyatt House and Caption by Hyatt brands, with the following 2022-2023 anticipated openings, including the brand debut and opening of the first Caption by Hyatt hotel in Memphis.
