## Story

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of its 1,000th global location, Alila Napa Valley in St. Helena, California.

This site marks the continuing expansion of Hyatt’s luxury Alila brand, with this new location being the second Alila location in the Americas. The 68-room, adults-only restorative retreat features an outdoor pool overlooking adjacent vineyards and mountains, a seasonally driven restaurant and bar with a local, sustainable menu, and Spa Alila and Fitness Center with customized treatments.

“Hyatt’s thoughtful journey to 1,000 hotels has been grounded in listening, growing, and innovating along the way to meet guest, member, customer, and owner needs,” said Jim Chu, Hyatt’s executive vice president of global franchising and development.

“Today, we remain focused on expanding our global footprint and building our business based on where we can best extend care and make a positive impact on our guests and the communities in which we operate. With a strong pipeline of new openings and developments, Hyatt continues to offer differentiated experiences that will cater to the growing demand for leisure destinations our guests are seeking as they get back to travel.”

Hyatt was established in 1957 when founder Jay Pritzker purchased the first Hyatt hotel; driven by a new vision for hospitality built around people.

Alila Napa Valley is just the first of several new openings in 2021 across Hyatt’s wide range of brands. This includes the Grand Hyatt Kuwait, Park Hyatt Toronto, as well as many international additions to its Unbound Collection, Hyatt Regency, and Destination by Hyatt concepts.
