HISTORY OF HYATT CORPORATION
The Hyatt Corporation was born upon purchase of the Hyatt House, at Los Angeles
International Airport on September 27, 1957. The original owners were entrepreneurs, Hyatt
R. Von Dehn and Jack D. Crouch. Hyatt R. von Dehn was eager to get out of the hotel
business after a few years, so he sold his share in the hotel to Jay Pritzker. Mr Pritzker heard
the hotel was for sale while sitting in its coffee shop, called "Fat Eddie’s", waiting for a flight.
He scribbled a bid for $2.2 million dollars on a napkin, and the Hyatt Corporation was born.
(That’s the equivalent of $15,770,581 in 2006). Jay Pritzker and Jack D. Crouch remained
partners until 1965, opening airport hotels in several cities including San Francisco, Seattle,
and San Jose. Crouch stepped away from Hyatt to pursue other hotel ventures, while Jay and
his younger brother, Don continued to run Hyatt.
The Hyatt became famous after the chain opened the world's first atrium hotel in 1967,
the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, a decade after opening its first hotel.
In 1969, Hyatt opened its first hotel overseas, the Hyatt Regency Hong Kong (which closed
at the end of 2005 and was demolished, the new one will open in 2009. In 1980, the Grand
Hyatt and Park Hyatt brands were introduced. Hyatt has become known for its resorts after
the opening of Hyatt Regency Maui in 1980. Today Hyatt has over 340 hotels worldwide.[3]
In December 2004, Global Hyatt announced it would acquire AmeriSuites, an upscale chain
of all suite business class hotels from affiliates of the Blackstone Group, a New York based
private equity investment firm. Blackstone had inherited AmeriSuites from its 2004
acquisition of Prime Hospitality. The AmeriSuites chain is being rebranded and converted to
a new concept called Hyatt Place. With Hyatt Place, Global Hyatt will better compete with
the limited service products Courtyard by Marriott and Hilton Garden Inn offered by industry
leaders Marriott International and Hilton Hotels Corp.
In December 2005, Global Hyatt announced a second limited service

acquisition, Summerfield Suites. Again the seller was the Blackstone Group. Blackstone had
inherited Summerfield Suites from its purchase of Wyndham International. Summerfield
Suites will be rebranded as Hyatt Summerfield Suites and positioned to compete in the
upscale extended stay market against brands such as Residence Inn, Homewood Suites and
Staybridge Suites.
In June 2008, Harmit Singh was named as the new Chief Financial Officer. He is expected to
be one of the main influences for huge growth in the Hyatt brand in the next 5 years.

The Founding Family
While Hyatt's history as a corporate
entity dates from 1957, the Pritzker
family, who built and control Hyatt, has
been active significantly longer. In the
late 19th century, the Pritzkers
immigrated to the United States from the
Ukraine. Patriarch Nicholas Pritzker led
them to Chicago, and in 1902 he
founded Pritzker & Pritzker (P&P), the
law firm that was to evolve into a management company and the
center of the Pritzkers' many and varied investments.
P&P grew, and by the late 1920s it had become a respected local firm.
At that time, the Pritzkers' best client was Goldblatt Brothers, the low-
priced Chicago department store chain. Through the Goldblatts,
Abram (A. N.) Pritzker, Nicholas Pritzker's son, met Walter M.
Heymann, then a leading Chicago commercial banker and an officer
at the First National Bank of Chicago. In succeeding years A. N.
Pritzker and Walter Heymann became business associates, and the
powerful First National Bank of Chicago became the financial
cornerstone of the Pritzker family empire.
Using a line of credit from the First National Bank, A. N. Pritzker

began acquiring real estate, something he already knew about from
P&P's concentration on real estate reorganization. As his and the
family's investments grew, the law practice shrank, and in 1940 P&P
stopped accepting outside clients, concentrating solely on Pritzker
family investments. At the same time A. N. Pritzker began the family
practice of sheltering his holdings within a dizzying array of
interrelated family trusts.

EVOLUTION OF HYATT CORPORATION
Hyatt Emerges in the 1950s
The story of Hyatt Corporation begins with the succeeding generation of Pritzkers. By the
early 1950s, Pritzker's oldest son, Jay, had become active in the family business. Something
of a prodigy, Jay Pritzker had graduated high school at 14. He finished college soon thereafter
and then took a law degree from Northwestern University. During World War II he worked
first as a flight instructor and later for the U.S. government agency that managed German-
owned companies. In that position, he sat on corporate boards with men many years his
senior. An accomplished deal-maker even in his earliest years, Jay would later become well
known for his quickness at sizing up balance sheets and offering deals. Jay, beginning in
1957, made the initial deals that formed the basis for Hyatt.
Jay's youngest brother, Donald Pritzker, finished law school in 1959, whereupon he joined
P&P. Meanwhile, the middle brother, Robert Pritzker, earned an industrial engineering degree
at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and later he and Jay would found and
manage the Marmon Group.
In 1957 Jay Pritzker bought a small Los Angeles International Airport motel named Hyatt
House after its original owner, Hyatt von Dehn. Within four years, Jay expanded the single
property into a chain of six hotels and brought Donald Pritzker to California as manager of
operations, reporting to Jay. The two made a good team, with Jay's deal-making skills and
Donald's managerial ability and gregarious personality.
Hyatt grew rapidly during its first decade, opening small motor inns on the West Coast and
one outside Chicago. The fledgling company went public in 1967, but the more important
event of that watershed year was the opening in Atlanta of its first hotel with an atrium tower
lobby, designed by the architect John Portman. The Portman atrium was a 21-story interior
courtyard, designed so that each hotel room entered off the high-rise open space, set off with
a central glass elevator leading to all floors, and hanging green vines growing from each
floor's balcony. The overall effect was revolutionary, because the Portman interior eliminated
the impersonal hallway with rows of doors and brought to the hotel interior an open-air
congeniality, with the spin-off of greater safety, feeling of security, and warmth. The Portman
lobby became the hotel's signature and brought Hyatt to widespread notice for the first time,
as well as advancing the concept of public space in buildings.
What became the Hyatt Regency Atlanta was part of the 15-building Peachtree Center. The
developers of the large hotel property were in financial trouble and both Hilton and Marriott
passed up opportunities to purchase the property before Hyatt did and finished construction.
Soon after the hotel opened, its occupancy rate reached 94.6 percent.
Hyatt grew to a chain of 13 hotels by 1969. That year, the Pritzkers set up a separate company
called Hyatt International Corporation to expand the chain overseas, with its first hotel the
Hyatt Regency Hong Kong. In 1972, Donald died of a heart attack at the age of 39. Jay
installed his brother-in-law, Hugh M. "Skip" Friend, Jr., as the new president.
6
Growth in the 1970s
The company grew rapidly during the 1970s aided by the signature Hyatt design and the
innovations that a young staff was able to devise. Management went awry, however, when it
was discovered in 1977 that Friend had spent $300,000 of company money on personal
expenses. After Jay Pritzker demoted him, Friend left the company. Jay took over the duties
of president, in addition to his responsibilities as chairman and chief executive officer. He
also moved corporate headquarters to Chicago, where he could more closely oversee matters.
Then, Jay gradually bought back the public shares of stock, taking the company private in
1979.
The 1980s
In 1980, Thomas Jay Pritzker, Jay's son, became president, with Jay remaining chairman and
CEO. The decade started promisingly with three significant firsts in 1980: the openings of the
first Park Hyatt, the first Grand Hyatt, and the first Hyatt resort. Park Hyatts were designed as
smaller luxury hotels with a European style, featuring personalized service, privacy, and
elegance; the first one opened in Chicago near the Water Tower. Grand Hyatts were designed
for the high-end market in culturally rich destinations, and featured sophisticated leisure,
banquet, and conference facilities utilizing the latest technology. Hyatt Resorts were specially
designed to reflect the local area of location and offered numerous activities and facilities for
their guests; the first Hyatt resort was the Hyatt Regency Maui in Hawaii.
Then in 1981, two skywalks at the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed, killing 114
people and injuring 229 in what the National Bureau of Standards called the most devastating
structural collapse ever to take place in the United States. Between 1981 and 1986, more than
2,000 resulting lawsuits were settled for a total of $120 million. In June 1986, 900 individuals
remaining in a federal class action suit against the hotel settled all claims for $1,000 each.
Ultimately, "gross negligence and misconduct" were attributed to engineers Daniel Duncan,
Jack Gillum, and their former company, G.C.E. International Inc., whose "hurry-up" design
system caused them to be pouring concrete on one part of the building while finishing the
design on the rest of the building. As was the case with most Hyatt hotels at this time, Hyatt
was managing the hotel for its owner and builder, Hallmark Properties, so Hyatt was not held
liable. Still it did not help to have the Hyatt name associated with such a disaster.
Hyatt's growth slowed somewhat as the 1980s progressed, in part because hotel property
owners began to object to the high fees Hyatt (and other hotel managers) received for
managing the hotels without taking on any ownership risks.
In order to keep the company growing, the Pritzkers launched a separate company to develop
and build hotels and resorts, with Jay's cousin Nick in charge.
During the decade, Hyatt Corporation also became involved in an indirect way in some of the
Pritzkers' nonlodging activities. Most notable was the 1983 purchase of the troubled Braniff
airline through Dalfort, a Hyatt subsidiary. Under Dalfort, and with Jay Pritzker taking the
lead, Braniff's losses were cut. But after a proposed merger with the also troubled Pan Am
Corp. failed in 1987, Braniff was sold the following year.
During this time, Darryl Hartley-Leonard was named president of Hyatt Hotels Corporation,
which had been reorganized as a subsidiary of the parent Hyatt Corporation. Another
subsidiary was launched in 1989 under the name Classic Residence by Hyatt, with Donald
7
Pritzker's daughter Penny Pritzker as president. The Classic Residence properties were
designed as luxury retirement centers with large rental apartments, housekeeping and
gourmet meal service, and such activities as lectures by university professors. Aimed at the
growing population of senior citizens, many of whom were looking for alternatives to
institutional settings, Classic Residence centers opened initially in Reno, Dallas, and Teaneck,
New Jersey. They were somewhat slow to fill, however, and the properties were typically half
empty six months after opening.
Also in 1989, Hyatt introduced the Camp Hyatt program to attempt to attract more families to
its somewhat business-oriented facilities. Under the program, Hyatt hotels began to offer
numerous activities geared toward the toddler to preteen set, gave parents the option of taking
a half-priced second room for their kids, and added menus and room service tailored for
children.
1990s and Beyond
As the 1990s began, Hyatt's growth was somewhat challenged by what analysts regarded as
the reluctance of some owners of new hotels to hire Hyatt as managers, given the relatively
high cost of running a glitzy Hyatt hotel. In fact, Hyatt was beginning to run the risk of losing
existing contracts. Seeking to streamline operations, the company laid off more than 1,000 of
its work force and then embarked on a detailed appraisal of the services it was offering at its
hotels. Major cost savings were realized in several ways, such as moving to a centralized
purchasing system, changing the turning down of beds from an automatic service to one that
a guest had to request, cutting down on the number of choices offered on restaurant and room
service menus, and outsourcing housekeeping and valet parking. The company also sought
ways to attract frequent business travellers by augmenting its Gold Passport frequent stayer
program and by offering additional business-oriented amenities such as in-room fax
machines. By 1994, Hyatt's gross operating profits had increased 45 percent from 1990 and
the company was hearing fewer complaints from hotel owners about costs.
In 1994 Douglas G. Geoga, a lawyer who had served as head of development, was named
president and CEO of Hyatt Hotels, with Hartley-Leonard remaining chairman. At about the
same time, Hyatt began to pursue several new opportunities for growth, as competition from
other chains grew fierce. Starting in 1994, the company moved cautiously into franchising for
the first time. The first two franchised Hyatts were older hotels--the Hyatt Sainte Claire in
downtown San Jose and the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty Six in Fort Lauderdale. Scheduled to
open in 1997 was a third franchised Hyatt, the Hyatt Regency Wichita, a new downtown
convention hotel. Hyatt also entered, again cautiously, the crowded time-share property
market with the opening in June 1995 of a resort known as Hyatt's Sunset Harbor Key West.
Freestanding golf courses and casinos were additional ventures Hyatt entered in the mid-
1990s. In January 1995 it opened on the island of Aruba its first freestanding golf course,
which was also the island's first golf course. In addition to developing freestanding courses,
Hyatt also intended to manage existing golf courses near its hotels. Already involved in
gaming through casinos it operated at some of its resorts, Hyatt moved into the riverboat
gambling industry in 1994 with the opening of the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin, Illinois,
which generated revenues of $37 million during the last three months of that year. In 1995,
Hyatt joined with Players International Inc. in offering to purchase the two riverboat casinos
in New Orleans that had closed not long after opening. Hyatt was reportedly also looking for
a site to move into the lucrative Las Vegas gambling mecca.
In addition to its pursuit of these growth opportunities, Hyatt also strived through innovation
to retain its role at the forefront of the industry. In 1994 the company tested automated check-
in kiosks in a number of its hotels. The kiosks, which allowed guests to check themselves in
8
less than one minute and even dispensed room keys, proved a success and were subsequently
expanded to other Hyatts. The company also successfully introduced a telephone check-in
system.
In 1995 and 1996, Hyatt spent $200 million in renovating more than 30 of its hotels in North
America. Among the enhancements were the replacement of worn-out furnishings, the
improvement of access for peoples with disabilities, the addition of coffee kiosks and
convenience stores to hotel lobbies, and the installation of modem ports, larger desks, and
better lighting in guest rooms.
In the face of a highly competitive but increasingly lucrative hotel industry in the 1990s,
Hyatt was certainly not resting on its reputation. While its acumen in managing hotel
properties was rarely questioned, some industry observers did raise doubts about the
company's late entrance into such areas as time-shares and franchising. But with Jay and
Thomas Pritzker still in charge of the parent company, the successful Pritzker track record
boded well for Hyatt's future.

HYATT, ITS EXPANSION AND ITS CURRENT STATUS
Hyatt Corporation opened its first hotel on September 27, 1957. Hyatt's first property at Los
Angeles International Airport was originally named Hyatt House. The owner of Hyatt House
was a local entrepreneur by the name of Hyatt R. von Dehn. Hyatt hotels expanded
aggressively along the West Coast during the next decade. However, it wasn't until 1967,
when Hyatt Corporation opened the world's first atrium hotel that the Hyatt® name became
known worldwide. The hotel's 21-story atrium tower lobby and dramatic departure from
traditional hotel architecture changed the course of the lodging industry. The challenge to
hotel architects was no longer to eliminate extra space; rather, to create grand, wide-open
public spaces.
By 1969, there were 13 Hyatt® hotels in the United States. That year, a subsidiary of the
newly formed Hyatt International Corporation opened the first international hotel, the Hyatt
Regency Hong Kong.
Hyatt Regency® hotels are the core brand of Hyatt Hotels & Resorts®, offering guests
opportunities to broaden their horizons and rejuvenate. Lobbies and rooms are designed to
reflect the best of the local cultures, the food and beverage outlets are inventive, and
exceptional technology, meeting, and fitness facilities are available.
The Grand Hyatt® and Park Hyatt® brands were introduced in 1980 to further identify and
market the diverse types of Hyatt Hotels & Resorts® worldwide. Grand Hyatt® hotels serve
culturally rich destinations that attract leisure and business travellers as well as large-scale
meetings and conventions. The hotels, reflecting a grand scale and refinement, include
features such as state-of-the-art technology, sophisticated business and leisure facilities,
banquet and conference facilities of world-class standard, and specialized programs that cater
to discriminating business and vacation guests.
Park Hyatt® hotels are the company's smaller, luxury hotels designed to cater to the
discriminating individual traveler seeking the privacy, personalized service and elegance of a
small European hotel. They offer a sense of sanctuary and luxury. In addition to state-of-the-
art technology, Park Hyatt® hotels offer exceptional food and beverage facilities, intimate,
understated surroundings, and 24-hour personalized service.
Since the opening of Hyatt Regency Maui in 1980, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts® has become
known as a leader in the creation and operation of dramatic luxury resorts as well. These
include, for example, Hyatt Regency Kauai in Hawaii; Hyatt Regency La Manga in southern
Spain; Bali Hyatt and Grand Hyatt Bali in Indonesia; Hyatt Regency Cheju on the southern
coast of Korea; Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove and Hyatt Regency Coolum Spa & Resort in
Australia's Queensland state; Hyatt Regency Guam in Micronesia; Hyatt Regency
Thessaloniki in Greece, Hyatt Regency Kathmandu, Nepal, and Hyatt Regency Hua Hin in
Thailand.
Today, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts® specialize in deluxe hotels with meeting facilities and
special services for the business traveler, operates hotels in major and secondary cities,
airport locations, and leading resort areas throughout the world. With the new hotels under
development, Hyatt International Corporation will be creating more than 20,000 job

their physical distinctiveness, incorporating local art and design, but also for the amenities
and services provided. These special services include Hyatt Gold Passport®, Hyatt's
renowned recognition and award program for the frequent traveler; Regency Club® and

restaurants; and custom catering.
