News Releases

CHICAGO (October 28, 2026) — Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced record growth momentum in Canada, where Hyatt’s portfolio of open hotels has quadrupled in under a decade. With more than 40 deals in the pipeline, including 10 hotels expected to open in 2027, Hyatt is on track for its largest year of hotel openings in the country.

“Our growth reflects the strength of our relationships with owners and developers, the breadth of our brands and the flexibility of our development models,” said Julienne Smith, Head of Americas Growth, Hyatt. “Canada remains an important market with significant opportunity to expand our brand presence.”

“As we look toward a record year of openings in 2027, our focus remains on deepening relationships with owners and creating opportunities to grow together,” said Scott Richer, Head of Growth, Canada, Hyatt. “At Hyatt, business is personal. It’s about understanding our owners’ goals, earning their trust and creating lasting value for them and our guests.” 

Recent Openings Strengthen Hyatt's Canadian Portfolio

Hyatt's recent openings demonstrate its ability to grow its brands across different market types and travel needs while providing owners with access to its portfolio of brands and global commercial platform.

Recent additions include:

• The Clayfield, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario
• Hyatt Place Vancouver / Metrotown, Burnaby, BC
• Hyatt Regency Niagara Falls Fallsview, Niagara Falls, ON
• Hyatt House Thunder Bay, Thunder Bay, ON

Hyatt’s Canadian Pipeline Adds New Brands, Destinations and Ways to Stay 

Park Hyatt Vancouver will mark a significant expansion of Hyatt's Luxury portfolio in Canada. The anticipated opening will establish a Park Hyatt presence on the West Coast, complementing the iconic Park Hyatt Toronto in the east. Together, the two properties will anchor the brand in two of Canada's most important gateway cities, further strengthening Hyatt's luxury portfolio in the country.

Hyatt is also preparing for the debut of the Unscripted by Hyatt collection in Canada through a collaboration with Haida Enterprise Corporation, the economic development arm of the Haida Nation. Offering independent hotels a flexible path into Hyatt's global network while preserving their distinct identities, the Unscripted by Hyatt brand will welcome two Canadian properties: Haida House at Tllaal (Tlell) and Ocean House at Tlaga Gawtlaas (Old Massett), both located on Graham Island in Xaadáa Gwáay | Xaada Gwaay.yaay (Haida Gwaii), British Columbia.

“Haida House and Ocean House are distinctly Haida Gwaii, and that will remain at the heart of who we are,” said Leticia Hill, CEO, Haida Enterprise Corporation. “This collaboration with the Unscripted by Hyatt brand gives us an opportunity to share these special places with a broader audience while maintaining our Haida ownership, identity and connection to Haida Gwaii.”

In addition, Hyatt’s brand expansion in Canada includes the introduction of two upper-midscale brands: Hyatt Select, designed for hotel conversions, and Hyatt Studios, focused on extended-stay travelers.

Hyatt Select Kingston is expected to open later this year in Ontario, marking the brand’s Canadian debut. In 2027, Hyatt Select Prince Albert and Hyatt Studios Prince Albert are expected to open as a dual-branded development in Saskatchewan, introducing the Hyatt Studios brand to Canada.

Designed for secondary and tertiary markets, the Hyatt Select brand offers owners a flexible conversion pathway while providing guests with modern design, thoughtful comfort and a reliable stay. Hyatt Studios hotels are purpose-built for extended stays, offering apartment-style suites with kitchens and practical amenities designed to help guests feel at home during longer visits. Both brands connect owners to Hyatt’s commercial capabilities and World of Hyatt loyalty program. 

As Hyatt continues to grow its brands in Canada, Hyatt remains focused on working with owners to bring the right hotels to the right markets, while offering guests and World of Hyatt members more places to stay across the country.
