Hyatt Hotels Corporation published its third-quarter 2026 results on 29 October. System-wide hotel RevPAR rose 7.2% compared with the same quarter of 2025, and the group said its luxury hotels led that growth.
The quarter in figures
In the United States, RevPAR grew 8.2%, helped in part by the FIFA World Cup and by the timing of the Jewish holidays. Gross fees reached $327 million, up 15.2%, and Adjusted EBITDA came to $295 million, up 6.2%. Net income attributable to Hyatt was $58 million, or $122 million on an adjusted basis.
The one softer line was all-inclusive: net package RevPAR slipped 2.5%, mainly because of weaker demand for some destinations in Mexico, partly offset by the Caribbean and Europe.
Growth and outlook
Hyatt's net rooms grew 3.8% over twelve months, and its pipeline now counts about 158,000 rooms, up 12.1%. Openings in the quarter included Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana, the brand's first address in the Dominican Republic, and Thompson Seville in the lifestyle portfolio.
The group raised its full-year outlook for system-wide RevPAR growth to 5.0–5.5% and expects net rooms growth of about 6%. It also lifted planned capital returns to shareholders to $375–425 million.
Mark S. Hoplamazian, Chairman, President and CEO, linked the results to a growing preference for Hyatt's brands among guests, owners and developers.
The signal
For the large listed groups, luxury is now the engine of the quarter, not a niche. A raised outlook from Hyatt, home of Park Hyatt, Alila and Thompson, is a positive read for owners of high-end hotels going into 2027.
