Hyatt Strengthens Its Presence in Italy
Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced plans to open three new hotels in Italy. The projects will add 428 rooms and suites to the company’s growing portfolio.
Italy remains one of Europe’s most important tourism markets. The World Travel & Tourism Council forecasts that international visitor spending in the country could reach €78 billion by 2035.
Currently, Hyatt operates six hotels across five brands in Italy. Its portfolio includes properties in Milan, Venice, Rome, Florence, and Sardinia. Since 2019, Hyatt has quadrupled its room count in the country.

Hyatt plans to open Hyatt Regency Rome Central near Rome’s Termini Station by the end of the third quarter of 2026.
The hotel will introduce the Hyatt Regency brand to Italy for the first time. It will cater to both business and leisure travelers.
Guests can expect:
- 238 rooms and suites

In addition, the location offers easy access to transportation links and convention venues.

Furthermore, the property will focus on design, culture, and local experiences.
Park Hyatt Taormina Expands Luxury Offerings
Hyatt plans to open Park Hyatt Taormina in Sicily in 2028.
The hotel will become the second Park Hyatt property in Italy, joining Park Hyatt Milan. Hyatt aims to attract luxury travelers seeking exclusive experiences in Sicily.
The property will offer:
- 121 luxury suites
- Private terraces
- Views of the Ionian Sea
- Views of Mount Etna
- A luxury spa
- Locally inspired dining experiences
As a result, Hyatt will strengthen its position in Italy’s luxury hospitality market.
Benefits for World of Hyatt Members
The new hotels will create more options for World of Hyatt members. Guests will gain additional opportunities to earn and redeem loyalty rewards across Italy.
Moreover, the expansion supports Hyatt’s broader growth strategy in Europe.
Hyatt Continues Its European Growth Strategy
Hyatt currently operates 170 hotels across 19 brands in Europe. The company plans to open more than 40 additional hotels across the region in the coming years.
Italy plays a key role in that strategy. Strong tourism demand and a large independent hotel market continue to create opportunities for growth.
Therefore, Hyatt Regency Rome Central, Thompson Rome, and Park Hyatt Taormina will help Hyatt expand its presence across the upper-upscale, lifestyle, and luxury segments.
