International Hotel Chains Expand Presence Across Uzbekistan

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — The number of international hotel chains operating in Uzbekistan grew by 27.5 percent during the first seven months of 2026 as global operators expanded beyond the capital city of Tashkent.

Between the end of 2025 and 1 August 2026, the total count of international brand hotels in the country increased from 40 to 51 properties, with the number of represented brands rising from 25 to 31.

A total of 11 new international properties launched operations during this period.

The market expansion reflects geographic diversification. While international brands previously concentrated in Tashkent, new projects have emerged in Bukhara, Samarkand, Nukus, Termez, Chimgan, and Beldersoy.

Hilton increased its presence from seven to eight hotels, expanding room capacity from 1,109 to 1,274 rooms with additions including DoubleTree by Hilton Tashkent. Hyatt doubled its operating properties from one to two through the launch of Beldersoy Resort and Spa Destination by Hyatt, increasing its room inventory from 300 to 445 rooms. Marriott International maintained two properties but expanded room inventory at the JW Marriott Hotel Tashkent, raising its room count from 280 to 415.

The development extends across luxury, mid-scale, urban business, and mountain resort segments in Chimgan and Beldersoy.
