New Hyatt Properties in Thailand
Hyatt has recently instigated a large push into the Thai market. For many years Thailand only had 2 Hyatt hotels, The Grand Hyatt Erawan in Bangkok and The Hyatt Regency in Hua Hin. Recently it seems that barely a month goes by that Hyatt doesn't make an announcement of a new property, starting with the highly anticipated Park Hyatt Bangkok in 2014. Hyatt is also introducing their lower priced offerings with a Hyatt Place announced earlier this year.
