Hyatt has grown its systemwide portfolio through company and brand acquisitions galore, including its most recent purchase of lifestyle company Standard International last month. 

On the heels of that deal, which industry experts called a move to quickly scale Hyatt’s portfolio and boost guest loyalty, Hotel Dive took a look back at another buy that has led to global growth for Hyatt: its 2021 acquisition of Apple Leisure Group. 

Hyatt purchased the luxury resort-management services, travel and hospitality group from affiliates of KKR and KSL Capital Partners and assumed its AMR Collection brand portfolio of approximately 100 hotels and resorts in 10 countries. Those hotels became Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, which has since expanded organically with new brands and hotels.
