Hyatt completed the sale of its Playa real estate portfolio to Tortuga Resorts on December 30, 2025, for a total of $2.0 billion, with up to $143 million more possible through an earnout. Hyatt also cut its 2025 Adjusted EBITDA outlook for Playa by $10 million at the midpoint because of damage from Hurricane Melissa, and said its non-Playa Adjusted EBITDA will land at the low end of its $1,090 million to $1,110 million range.
Sale to Tortuga closed December 30, 2025; Hyatt retained $200 million of preferred equity in the buyer.
Hyatt will sign 50-year management agreements for 13 of the 14 remaining properties; proceeds will repay a delayed draw term loan used to fund the Playa acquisition.
Playa 2025 Adjusted EBITDA outlook decreased by $10 million at the midpoint; Hyatt ex-Playa expected at the low end of $1,090 million to $1,110 million, mainly due to weaker Distribution segment results from Jamaica cancellations.

Hyatt Hotels issued $400 million of 5.400% senior notes due December 15, 2035, in a public offering on November 26, 2025, receiving net proceeds of about $396.2 million.

Hyatt completed its acquisition of Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. on June 11, 2025, after tenders covered about 92.7% of Playa's outstanding shares by the expiration time. Hyatt financed the deal by borrowing $1.7 billion under a delayed draw term loan, and a back-end merger is set to take place on June 17, 2025 to acquire the remaining shares.
