Hyatt (H) Expands European Reach With Me and All Hotels Buyout
Read MoreHide Full Article
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (H - Free Report) aims to expand into new European markets with the acquisition of the me and all hotels brand from Lindner Hotels AG by a Hyatt affiliate.
This follows a 2022 collaboration that increased H's brand presence in Germany and Europe, integrating most Lindner Hotels & Resorts and me and all hotels into the World of Hyatt loyalty program. After the transaction, me and all hotels will become a standalone brand within H's global lifestyle portfolio, which quintupled in rooms between 2017 and 2023.
The Lindner team built an impressive brand with me and all hotels, which has strong expansion potential in Europe and beyond. Since its launch in 2016, the brand has grown to six hotels and more than 1,000 rooms in central city locations across Germany, now part of Hyatt’s inventory. The pipeline includes conversions and new builds in key destinations like Berlin (2024), Hamburg, Leipzig, and Stuttgart (2026).
Hyatt’s pipeline features 1,000 me and all hotel rooms, with more deals under negotiation for locations outside Germany. The me and all hotels brand offers high guest satisfaction and a development model suited for upscale lifestyle spaces, positioning it for rapid growth. The collaboration with Lindner significantly expanded H's presence in the EAME region, adding many new locations for the 46 million World of Hyatt members.
The company aims to drive further growth for Hyatt’s lifestyle portfolio with me and all hotels. The partnership with Lindner and other development partners and franchisees is likely to support this expansion across Europe and beyond.
