Hyatt’s Canadian Pipeline Adds New Brands, Destinations and Ways to Stay
Park Hyatt Vancouver will mark a significant expansion of Hyatt’s Luxury portfolio in Canada. The anticipated opening will establish a Park Hyatt presence on the West Coast, complementing the iconic Park Hyatt Toronto in the east. Together, the two properties will anchor the brand in two of Canada’s most important gateway cities, further strengthening Hyatt’s luxury portfolio in the country.
Hyatt is also preparing for the debut of the Unscripted by Hyatt collection in Canada through a collaboration with Haida Enterprise Corporation, the economic development arm of the Haida Nation. Offering independent hotels a flexible path into Hyatt’s global network while preserving their distinct identities, the Unscripted by Hyatt brand will welcome two Canadian properties: Haida House at Tllaal (Tlell) and Ocean House at Tlaga Gawtlaas (Old Massett), both located on Graham Island in Xaadáa Gwáay | Xaada Gwaay.yaay (Haida Gwaii), British Columbia.
“Haida House and Ocean House are distinctly Haida Gwaii, and that will remain at the heart of who we are,” said Leticia Hill, CEO, Haida Enterprise Corporation. “This collaboration with the Unscripted by Hyatt brand gives us an opportunity to share these special places with a broader audience while maintaining our Haida ownership, identity and connection to Haida Gwaii.”
In addition, Hyatt’s brand expansion in Canada includes the introduction of two upper-midscale brands: Hyatt Select, designed for hotel conversions, and Hyatt Studios, focused on extended-stay travelers.
Hyatt Select Kingston is expected to open later this year in Ontario, marking the brand’s Canadian debut. In 2027, Hyatt Select Prince Albert and Hyatt Studios Prince Albert are expected to open as a dual-branded development in Saskatchewan, introducing the Hyatt Studios brand to Canada.
Designed for secondary and tertiary markets, the Hyatt Select brand offers owners a flexible conversion pathway while providing guests with modern design, thoughtful comfort and a reliable stay. Hyatt Studios hotels are purpose-built for extended stays, offering apartment-style suites with kitchens and practical amenities designed to help guests feel at home during longer visits. Both brands connect owners to Hyatt’s commercial capabilities and World of Hyatt loyalty program.
