Hyatt Hotels plans to add 1,350 keys to its India portfolio with the opening of six new hotels in the country this year, as it remains focused on the luxury and leisure segment to aid growth.
 
The hospitality chain will focus on its lifestyle brands like JdV and Andaz, and intends to bring its recently-acquired lifestyle brand Standard Hotels to the country.
 
“Standard hotels is an amazing brand for India and I’m very excited and eager to bring it here if the right opportunity comes up. We have the perfect market in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, and Bengaluru and the right age group for it,” Sunjae Sharma, managing director, India and southwest Asia at Hyatt Hotels, told Business Standard.
 
Meanwhile, the six new hotels this year will come up in Ghaziabad, Kasauli, Kochi, Bhopal, Vithalapur and Jaipur.
 
“As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to build on this momentum with even more aggressive expansion plans, and a goal of 100 hotels in India within the next five years,” Sharma said. It currently has 50 properties in the country.
