Hyatt Raises 2026 RevPAR Growth Outlook To 3.5%-4.5% On FIFA World Cup Demand

Hyatt Hotels raised its 2026 outlook for hotel revenue per available room (RevPAR), citing stronger-than-expected U.S. demand, including travel tied to the FIFA World Cup. The company now expects comparable system-wide hotel RevPAR to rise between 3.5% and 4.5% in 2026, up from a prior forecast of 2% to 4%. U.S. RevPAR is expected to increase 3% to 4% for the year, while international markets should grow moderately more. In the most recent quarter, comparable system-wide hotel RevPAR grew 5.9% year over year. Hyatt said U.S. performance helped offset geopolitical disruption: conflict in the Middle East reduced second-quarter RevPAR growth by about 110 basis points. On all-inclusives, comparable Net Package RevPAR fell 1.2%, though full-year growth should remain positive.
