Hyatt Hotels Corporation has reported a strong performance for Q1 2026, driven by growth in its luxury and all-inclusive segments, alongside continued global expansion.
The company recorded a 5.4% year-on-year increase in RevPAR across comparable hotels, while its all-inclusive resorts posted a 7.4% rise in Net Package RevPAR despite security concerns in Mexico. Net income stood at $38 million, marking a turnaround from a loss in the same period last year, with adjusted EBITDA rising to $266 million.
Hyatt’s expansion momentum remained robust, with net rooms growing 5% and a record pipeline of 151,000 rooms, up 9.4% year-on-year. During the quarter, the company opened nearly 4,000 rooms, including key properties such as Andaz Lisbon, Andaz Shanghai ITC, and The Livingston in Brooklyn.
Leisure travel demand remained the strongest contributor to performance, while group and business travel saw moderate growth. However, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East impacted RevPAR growth by approximately 50 basis points.
Looking ahead, Hyatt expects RevPAR growth of 2–4% and net income between $255 million and $350 million for 2026, supported by continued expansion and strong demand in premium segments. The company also plans to return up to $375 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
Overall, the results highlight Hyatt’s resilience amid global uncertainties and reinforce its focus on asset-light growth and experience-led hospitality.
