Another luxury brand acquisition for Hyatt?

This announcement follows Hyatt's recently announced intention to take over the luxury hotel group Belmond Ltd. (3,001 rooms). The American hotelier thus unveils part of its strategy to increase its high-end offer. Thus, Mark Hoplamazian, CEO of the group, points out that the Two Roads brands “are positioned at the high end of their respective segments, same as Hyatt. They’re clearly attracting higher-end travelers, which is very consistent with our customer base.”
