Company Strengths

They have developed our hotels at locations with high barriers to entry. For example, according to the Horwath Report, the land parcels for hotels of the scale of Grand Hyatt Mumbai Hotel and Residences and Andaz Delhi, are difficult to obtain and carry high costs and associated development risks. In turn, this limitation provides an added value benefit to established well-located hotels.

Their significant presence in New Delhi and Mumbai provides them a strategic advantage from both international and domestic travel through these cities and well-established business ecosystems. Ahmedabad is a hub for economic growth in Gujarat and Lucknow stands to benefit from the push for active investments in Uttar Pradesh.

In Raipur, the Hyatt Raipur was established to benefit from the industrial growth in the capital city of Chhattisgarh, the resource-rich state. The Hyatt Place Hampi was established to cater to tourists visiting the Hampi UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as business travellers visiting the nearby steel manufacturing facilities.

They identify and acquire sites to develop their hotels and serviced apartments, accounting for factors such as location, economic potential of the location, target customers, and branding.
