Together by Hyatt Further Simplifies the Event Planning Process with Launch of First of its Kind Event Experience Guides
Meeting and event planners now have a user-friendly one-stop-shop to digitally access Hyatt properties’ suite of meeting and event offerings, including sustainable meeting solutions and wellbeing experiences
CHICAGO – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the unveiling of Together by Hyatt’s new Event Experience Guides designed to provide all information a meeting planner needs in one place. Planners will now have an interactive, easy-to-navigate online platform with resources such as menus, sustainability practices, wellbeing experience options, event spaces, guest room type details and more. The visually led Event Experience Guides allow for a flexible and seamless process for meeting and event planners, so they can focus on delivering exceptional events for attendees.
The Event Experience Guide is an evolution of our meeting and event philosophy Together by Hyatt, which truly reimagined the meeting experience for our group customers. It invites planners to easily explore our suite of tools and inspiration on their own terms. We reached a milestone in our recovery with group rooms revenue fully recovered to 2019 levels in the fourth quarter with rates 15 percent above 2019, a testament to our customers prioritizing in-person interaction and connection. Looking ahead, as of year-end, group room revenue for the full year of 2023 was pacing 21 percent ahead of last year for Americas full-service management with record lead volumes in January, higher than any month last year. Jack Horne, global head of sales and revenue, Hyatt
