Marriott

Last year, Marriott signed 726 management and franchise agreements, representing almost 108,000 keys (+21% vs 2021). This year, Marriott will move into the accessible mid-range segment. In a deal expected to be completed in H1 2023 with Hoteles City Express, S.A.B. de C.V., the company will acquire the City Express brand portfolio. This transaction would add 152 hotels (17,000 rooms) across 75 cities in Mexico and three Latin American countries, as well as another five projects (representing 676 rooms) under construction. The acquisition will make Marriott the largest hotel company in the Caribbean and Latin America. In addition, the company will open 35 luxury hotels in 2023.

Wyndham

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world's largest hotel franchise company, aims to capitalise on an exceptional past year and continue its growth in 2023. In 2022, the company's achievements included nearly doubling the size of its upscale footprint in Europe, the Middle East, Eurasia, and Africa with the acquisition of the Vienna House brand, developing 13 brands in a total of 22 new markets, and entering the US extended stay market with the launch of ECHO Suites Extended StaySM by Wyndham.

Four Seasons

The luxury hospitality company enjoyed a strong 2022 with 7 new property openings. This growth will continue with more than 50 projects in its pipeline for the future. Over the coming calendar year, Four Seasons has 2 new hotels set to open in China, as well as projects in the Middle East and North Africa, including new residences in Bahrain Bay, a second property in Doha, and a new hotel in Rabat.

Hyatt

The American group announced at the end of 2022 that it had a record pipeline of approximately 117,000 keys worldwide. These ambitious growth plans will be driven by the acquisition of the Dream Hotel Group brand and management platform, as well as the development of existing brands such as Caption by Hyatt and Park Hyatt.

Accor

At least 34 openings across several segments and continents will strengthen the French giant's portfolio. In addition, Ennismore is planning to grow its presence strongly in Southeast Asia. Over the course of 2023, this growth strategy already includes 28 confirmed openings in the region.

Following notable growth in Asia-Pacific last year, the group is seeking to strengthen further its foothold in the region in 2023.

NH Hotel Group and Minor International, its majority shareholder, plan to open 50 hotels worldwide by 2023. NH Hotel Group will open 27 properties in Europe and the Americas and Minor International 23. This investment will see the addition of 10,106 keys across 6 brands by 2024.
