Hyatt Reports Strong Q3 2026 Results with Increased RevPAR and Raised Full-Year Guidance
Hyatt Hotels Corporation reported robust third-quarter 2026 financial results, highlighted by a 7.2% increase in system-wide Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR). This growth was primarily driven by high-end traveler demand and an 80% contribution from average daily rate increases. Gross fees rose 15.2% to $327 million, while adjusted EBITDA saw a significant 19% increase when adjusted for prior year asset sales. The company raised its full-year guidance across several key metrics, including system-wide RevPAR and gross fees, reflecting confidence in its development pipeline which has reached a record 158,000 rooms. Despite strong performance in the U.S. and Asia Pacific, Hyatt noted headwinds in Mexico due to reduced flight capacity and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East impacting regional fees. Market impact remains positive as Hyatt increased its capital return guidance to between $375 million and $425 million through dividends and share repurchases. The company maintains a strong liquidity position of $1.8 billion, supporting long-term growth targets.
