1,000th hotel opening – Hyatt

Alila Napa Valley in St. Helena, California has become the 1,000th hotel for the Hyatt chain establishing a historic milestone for the brand.

Jay Pritzker, the company’s founder, bought the first Hyatt hotel in 1957 with a new vision for hospitality centred on individuals.

Since then, Hyatt has pushed ground-breaking hotel designs, the award-winning World of Hyatt guest loyalty programme, and strategic brand acquisitions with its mission to care for their own people and their guests.

This achievement today reaffirms Hyatt’s commitment to continued strategic growth in areas that matter most to visitors, members, clients, and owners.

“Hyatt’s thoughtful journey to 1,000 hotels has been grounded in listening, growing, and innovating along the way to meet the various needs of those people we work with along the Development journey,” said Peter Norman, senior vice president development Europe, Middle East, south-west Asia, Africa at Hyatt.

“Today, we remain focused on expanding our global footprint and building our business based on where we can best extend care and make a positive impact on our guests and the communities in which we operate.

“With a strong pipeline of new openings and developments in Europe, Middle East, south-west Asia, Africa and across the globe, Hyatt continues to offer memorable experiences that will cater to the growing demand for leisure destinations our guests are seeking as they get back to travel.”
