HYATT ADVANTAGE
By teaming with Hyatt, developers have the opportunity to benefit from Hyatt’s world class brands, experienced management teams and tradition of innovation.
World Class Brands
Our brand recognition and strength is key to our ability to drive preference for our brands for our guests, associates, property owners and development partners. Our widely recognized, industry leading brands have consistently received top rankings, awards and accolades for service and guest experience from independent publications and surveys, including Condè Nast Traveler, Travel and Leisure, Mobil and AAA. By way of example, in 2009, 54 properties across our Park Hyatt®, Grand Hyatt® and Hyatt Regency® brands received the AAA four diamond lodging award.
Experienced Management Teams
Associates at our properties are led by an experienced group of hotel general managers with average tenure of more than 21 years. Regional and divisional management teams located around the world support our general managers by providing corporate resources, mentorship and coaching, owner support and other assistance necessary to help them achieve their goals. Senior operating management has an average of 27 years of experience in the industry. Our executive management team sets overall policies for Hyatt, supports our regional and divisional teams and our associates around the world, as well as provides strategic direction.
Tradition of Innovation
Innovation has been a hallmark of Hyatt since our founding. More than forty years ago, we opened Hyatt Regency Atlanta, which was the first-ever large-scale atrium lobby hotel and effectively changed the course of the lodging industry. We also have a long track record of creative approaches to food and beverage outlets at many of our hotels throughout the world. In addition, we have successfully introduced new service models to the industry. We launched the Hyatt Place® brand in 2006 and our Andaz® brand in 2007, each of which features a unique internally developed service model that eliminates a number of de-personalized aspects of the hotel experience for our guests.
