Does Hyatt have expansion plans for Singapore?
There are currently two properties, but the GH is going through a renovation at the moment. Are there any plans to expand Hyatt’s footprint in Singapore, especially mid and low-tiers?

If Marriott can have 14 hotels in Singapore, I want to see Hyatt make do with more than two.

As a local staycationer, I was pretty used to staying at the Andaz for SGD$200 - 250ish over covid, but now it’s more like SGD$500 - 700ish, but thankfully still available on points.
My (hopefully unfounded) worry is that the GH will go up in category (and price) once it’s refurbished. I took a look at one of the renovated floors (photos below) just before it closed and it really is a huge improvement.
But yes, seeing that even at these obscene prices the Andaz is almost always at high occupancy (mostly affluent foreigners these days), Singapore is long overdue for a new Hyatt for us to throw our money/points at.
At least the Hyatt Place in Johor is opening next year for mattress runs… (assuming it’s on schedule).

Did you get a link to the HP opening in Johor?

No opening date or any kind of update for the hotel since 2019 unfortunately, but a few drone videos do show construction looks almost done. (10:46 on this video:
hyupdates also still says 2023.
