“The name Hyatt Hotels Corporation leads with our brand and captures the company’s core
business,” said Mark Hoplamazian, president and chief executive officer, Hyatt Hotels
Corporation. “Operating in various countries around the world for decades has given Hyatt a
global perspective as well as an understanding that making a difference in people’s lives
through authentic hospitality is an inherently local – rather than global – mission. Each of our
hotels is rooted in and reflective of its market and community, which enables the members of
the Hyatt family to provide the type of hospitality and experience our guests have come to
expect.”
This change will not affect guests, employees or operations at the company’s more than 380
hotel, residential and vacation ownership properties around the world.
