Javier Águila

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today shared an update on key leadership transitions that further align Hyatt's structure with its increased brand focus and accelerated growth ambitions, particularly in the all-inclusive segment.

As President, Inclusive Collection, Águila will now focus exclusively on leading all aspects of Hyatt's Inclusive Collection portfolio on a global basis, including development, brand leadership, and operations. This strategic move reflects the outsized opportunity Hyatt sees in the all-inclusive segment globally and reinforces its long-term commitment to driving innovation, brand distinction, and scale in this space. Growth milestones like Hyatt's recent acquisition of Playa Hotels & Resorts, a 2024 joint venture with Grupo Piñero that includes management of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts-branded properties, as well as Hyatt's 2021 acquisition of Apple Leisure Group illustrate the strength and momentum behind Hyatt's strategy in this high-growth category.

Hyatt has delivered industry-leading net rooms growth for eight consecutive years through the end of 2024 and has a pipeline of approximately 138,000 rooms as of the first quarter of 2025, a 97% increase compared to the end of 2017.

The term "Hyatt" is used in this release for convenience to refer to Hyatt Hotels Corporation and/or one or more of its affiliates.
