Hyatt Checks Out of Hotel Ownership, But Eyes More Deals

Hyatt has nearly shifted to an asset-light model, reaching its target of 80-85% fee-based earnings from properties it doesn’t own. But the hotel group hasn’t declared “mission accomplished” just yet.
Hyatt’s top executives said Thursday they had more hotels to sell. They also plan to supplement their asset-light strategy with tuck-in deals, like their recent acquisition of Mr & Mrs Smith, a hotel booking site.
That’s according to Hyatt’s top execs, who spoke Thursday at the Bank of America Gaming & Lodging Conference.
The Standard is part of a category of hotels that Hyatt and all major groups covet. Hyatt’s CEO has previously said adding luxury and lifestyle brands can create a “network effect,” driving loyalty program growth and engagement.
