Hyatt's Hoplamazian, Peachtree's Friedman to speak at Hunter

MARK HOPLAMAZIAN, PRESIDENT and CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corp., will join Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree Group, for a fireside chat at the Hunter Hotel Investment Conference on March 19. Hunter introduced
this format last year with Anthony Capuano, CEO of Marriott International, as the featured guest.

In “A Conversation with Mark Hoplamazian,” he will share insights on his hospitality career, leadership approach, Hyatt's market position, company outlook and industry developments, Hunter said in a statement.

U.S. extended-stay hotels finished 2024 strong after a slow start, with supply, demand and room revenue growth outpacing the industry, while ADR and RevPAR remained positive but gained momentum later in the year, according to The
Highland Group.​

“At Hyatt, business is personal—relationships, trust, and a deep understanding of our guests, customers, and owners are at the heart of everything we do,” said Hoplamazian. “In today’s competitive landscape, hotel performance is
driven by the human connections that shape our industry. That’s why we collaborate closely with owners and operators like Peachtree Group to create long-term value for their investments.”
