Represents shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), issuable upon conversion of shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”). As provided in the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into one share of Class A Common Stock.

The Reporting Persons (as defined in this Schedule 13D) are party to certain agreements with the Separately Filing Group Members (as defined in this Schedule 13D), which agreements contain, among other things, certain voting agreements and limitations on the sale of their shares of Common Stock. As a result, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act (as defined in this Schedule 13D), comprised of the Reporting Persons and the Separately Filing Group Members. Shares listed as beneficially owned by each Reporting Person exclude shares held by any other Reporting Person or by any of the Separately Filing Group Members, in each case as to which the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership.

All references to the number of shares outstanding are as of July 31, 2010, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010, as adjusted to account for 539,588 shares of Class B Common Stock that were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Distribution (as defined in this Schedule 13D). The percentage is calculated using the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and based on 173,922,706 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2010. With respect to matters upon which the Issuer’s stockholders are entitled to vote, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class, and each holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each holder of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share. The shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons represent 5.6% of the total voting power of the Common Stock as of July 31, 2010, as adjusted. The percentage of total voting power of the Common Stock is calculated based on the total voting power of the Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2010, as adjusted, which is comprised of 44,456,706 shares of Class A Common Stock and 129,466,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and assumes that no outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock.

EXPLANATORY NOTE: This Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2 below) pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), and Rule 13d-1(a) thereunder, with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), held by the Reporting Persons, including shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”). As provided in the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into one share of Class A Common Stock. The Reporting Persons are party to certain agreements with the Separately Filing Group Members (as defined in Item 2 below), which agreements contain, among other things, certain voting agreements and limitations on the sale of their shares of Common Stock. As a result, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group”, within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, comprised of the Reporting Persons and the Separately Filing Group Members (collectively, the “Pritzker Family Group”).

The shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons were previously held by Thomas J. Pritzker, Marshall E. Eisenberg and Karl J. Breyer, not individually, but solely in their capacity as co-trustees of U.S. situs trusts for the benefit of certain lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased (the “U.S. Situs Trusts”), and/or IHE, INC. (“IHE”) and its subsidiaries, as previously reported on a Schedule 13G filed on November 4, 2009, as amended, pursuant to Section 13(g) of the Act and Rule 13d-1(d) thereunder.

On August 17, 2010, the co-trustees of the U.S. Situs Trusts either allocated or distributed, in the aggregate, 75,978,487 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Reporting Persons and certain of the Separately Filing Group Members. In addition, on August 17, 2010, IHE distributed, in the aggregate, 23,765,141 shares of Class B Common Stock to CIBC Trust Company (Bahamas) Limited, solely in the capacity as trustee of non-U.S. situs trusts for the benefit of certain lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased (the “Non-U.S. Situs Trusts”), certain of the other Separately Filing Group Members and certain other persons, and the trustee of the Non-U.S. Situs Trusts and certain other members of IHE allocated or distributed, in the aggregate, 18,025,104 shares of Class B Common Stock previously held by IHE and its subsidiaries to the Reporting Persons, certain of the Separately Filing Group Members and certain other persons. We refer to all of the above allocations and distributions, collectively, as the “Distribution.” Contemporaneous with the Distribution, the Reporting Persons executed joinders to, and thereby became subject to the provisions of, the agreements described in Item 6 below. The Distribution to the Reporting Persons qualified as a “Permitted Transfer” for purposes of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and, accordingly, the shares of Class B Common Stock allocated or distributed to the Reporting Persons remained shares of Class B Common Stock immediately following the Distribution. Certain other persons who received shares in the Distribution are not party to the agreements described in Item 6 below and their shares were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Distribution. The Reporting Persons and the Separately Filing Group Members may be deemed to have become beneficial owners of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock received in the Distribution, pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act and Rule 13d-1(a) thereunder, resulting in the obligation to file this Schedule 13D. It is the understanding of the Reporting Persons that the Separately Filing Group Members are filing separate Schedule 13Ds pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Separately Filing Group Members.

The Reporting Persons expect to routinely monitor the performance of their investment in the Issuer. In this regard, the Reporting Persons expect to evaluate on a periodic basis the Issuer’s business, financial condition and results of operation, as well as other factors that may be relevant to their investment in the Issuer. In addition, the Reporting Persons may seek the views of, hold active discussions with and respond to inquiries from representatives of the Issuer, the Separately Filing Group Members and other persons regarding the Issuer.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The Reporting Persons, together with certain other members of the Pritzker Family Group, are parties to the Global Hyatt Agreement, the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement and the 2009 Registration Rights Agreement, each as defined below, relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer.

Amended and Restated Global Hyatt Agreement

On October 1, 2009, Thomas J. Pritzker, Marshall E. Eisenberg and Karl J. Breyer, solely in the capacity as co-trustees of the U.S. Situs Trusts, and the adult beneficiaries of such trusts, entered into the Amended and Restated Global Hyatt Agreement (the “Global Hyatt Agreement”) pursuant to which they agreed to, among other things, certain voting agreements

CUSIP No. 448579102

13D

Page 9 of 21 Pages

and limitations on the sale of shares of the Common Stock. Contemporaneous with the Distribution, the Reporting Persons and certain of the Separately Filing Group Members executed joinders to, and thereby became subject to the provisions of, the Global Hyatt Agreement.

The parties to the Global Hyatt Agreement agreed that until the later to occur of (i) January 1, 2015 and (ii) the date upon which more than 75% of the Issuer’s fully diluted shares of Common Stock is owned by persons other than Pritzker family members and spouses (including any U.S. Situs Trusts or Non-U.S. Situs Trusts (as defined below) for the current or future, direct or indirect, vested or contingent, benefit of Pritzker family members and spouses) (the “Lock-Up Expiration Date”), all Pritzkers (as defined in the Global Hyatt Agreement) (and their successors in interest, if applicable), but not the transferees by sale (other than Pritzkers who purchase directly from other Pritzkers), will vote all of their voting securities consistent with the recommendations of the board of directors of the Issuer with respect to all matters (assuming agreement as to any such matter by a majority of a minimum of three independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) or, in the case of transactions involving the Issuer and an affiliate, assuming agreement of all of such minimum of three independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker). All Pritzkers have agreed to cast and submit by proxy to the Issuer their votes in a manner consistent with the foregoing voting agreement at least five business days prior to the scheduled date of the annual or special meeting of stockholders, as applicable.

In addition, the parties to the Global Hyatt Agreement agreed that until the Lock-Up Expiration Date, all Pritzker family members and spouses (including trusts for the current or future, direct or indirect, vested or contingent, benefit of any Pritzker family members and spouses or affiliates of any thereof) in a “beneficiary group” (as defined below) (including trusts only to the extent of the then current benefit of members of such beneficiary group) may sell up to 25% of their aggregate holdings of the Common Stock, measured as of November 4, 2009, in each 12-month period following November 4, 2009 (without carry-overs), and shall not sell more than such amount during any such period. Upon the unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors of the Issuer (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker), such 25% limitation may, with respect to each such 12-month period, be increased to a higher percentage or waived entirely. In connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Class A Common Stock, the independent directors of the Issuer unanimously waived such 25% limitation with respect to shares sold in the IPO and U.S. Situs Trusts for the benefit of each beneficiary group collectively sold 26.7% of the beneficiary groups’ aggregate holdings of the Common Stock in the IPO. No additional shares of Common Stock may be sold prior to November 5, 2010 without the further unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors of the Issuer. Sales of the Common Stock between and among Pritzkers are permitted without regard to the sale restrictions described above and such sales are not counted against the 25% sale limitation. All shares of the Common Stock owned by each beneficiary group (including trusts only to the extent of the then current benefit of members of such beneficiary group) are freely pledgeable to an institutional lender and such institutional lender will not be subject to the sale restrictions described above upon default and foreclosure.

CUSIP No. 448579102

The Global Hyatt Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated by the written agreement of the co-trustees of the U.S. Situs Trusts, 75% of the adult beneficiaries named below and a majority of the other adult beneficiaries party to the agreement. Each of Thomas J. Pritzker, Nicholas J. Pritzker, James N. Pritzker, John A. Pritzker, Linda Pritzker, Karen L. Pritzker, Penny Pritzker, Daniel F. Pritzker, Anthony N. Pritzker, Gigi Pritzker Pucker and Jay Robert Pritzker, and their respective lineal descendants and current spouse, if relevant, make up a “beneficiary group.”

Disputes that relate to the subject matter of the Global Hyatt Agreement are subject to arbitration pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The exclusive requirement to arbitrate under the Global Hyatt Agreement does not apply with respect to the manner in which the Issuer’s operations are conducted to the extent the parties (in their capacities as stockholders) and non-Pritzker public stockholders are affected comparably; provided, however, that a party may participate in and benefit from any shareholder litigation initiated by a non-party to the agreement. A party to the agreement may not solicit others to initiate or be a named plaintiff in such litigation (i) unless two thirds of the independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) on the board of directors of the Issuer (consisting of at least three independent directors) do not vote in favor of the matter that is the subject of the litigation or (ii) in the case of affiliated transactions reviewed by the board of directors of the Issuer, unless at least one independent director (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) did not approve the transaction.

The summary of the Global Hyatt Agreement contained in this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Global Hyatt Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement

On October 1, 2009, the adult beneficiaries of certain non-U.S. situs trusts for the benefit of the Non-U.S. Situs Trusts entered into the Amended and Restated Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement (the “Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement”) pursuant to which they agreed to, among other things, certain voting agreements and limitations on the sale of shares of the Common Stock. The adult beneficiaries informed CIBC, in its capacity as trustee of such Non-U.S. Situs Trusts, of their agreement and expressed their desire that the trustee act in accordance with the provisions of the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement. CIBC, in its capacity as trustee of the Non-U.S. Situs Trusts, has joined the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement. Contemporaneous with the Distribution, the Reporting Persons and certain of the Separately Filing Group Members executed joinders to, and thereby became subject to the provisions of, the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement.

The parties to the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement agreed that until the Lock-Up Expiration Date, all Pritzkers (as defined in the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement) (and their successors in interest, if applicable), but not the transferees by sale (other than Pritzkers who purchase directly from other Pritzkers), will vote (or cause to be voted) all of the voting securities held directly or indirectly by them consistent with the recommendations of the board of directors of the Issuer with respect to all matters (assuming agreement as to any such matter by a majority of a minimum of three independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) or, in the case of transactions involving the Issuer and an affiliate, assuming agreement of all of

such minimum of three independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker). All Pritzkers have agreed to cast and submit by proxy to the Issuer their votes in a manner consistent with the foregoing voting agreement at least five business days prior to the scheduled date of the annual or special meeting of stockholders, as applicable.

In addition, the parties to the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement agreed that until the Lock-Up Expiration Date, all Pritzker family members and spouses (including trusts for the current or future, direct or indirect, vested or contingent, benefit of any Pritzker family members and spouses and/or affiliates of any thereof) in a “beneficiary group” (including trusts only to the extent of the then current benefit of members of such beneficiary group) may sell up to 25% of their aggregate holdings of the Common Stock, measured as of November 4, 2009, in each 12-month period following November 4, 2009 (without carry-overs), and shall not sell more than such amount during any such period. Upon the unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors of the Issuer (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker), such 25% limitation may, with respect to each such 12-month period, be increased to a higher percentage or waived entirely. As a result of the sales of shares of Common Stock by the U.S. Situs Trusts in the IPO, no additional shares of Common Stock may be sold prior to November 5, 2010 without the further unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors of the Issuer. Sales of the Common Stock between and among Pritzkers are permitted without regard to the sale restrictions described above and such sales are not counted against the 25% sale limitation. All shares of the Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by each beneficiary group (including trusts only to the extent of the then current benefit of members of such beneficiary group) are freely pledgeable to an institutional lender and such institutional lender will not be subject to the sale restrictions described above upon default and foreclosure.

The Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated by the written agreement of 75% of the adult beneficiaries named above and a majority of the other adult beneficiaries party to the agreement.

Disputes that relate to the subject matter of the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement are subject to arbitration pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The exclusive requirement to arbitrate under the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement does not apply with respect to the manner in which Issuer’s operations are conducted to the extent the parties (in their capacities as stockholders) and non-Pritzker public stockholders are affected comparably; provided, however, that a party may participate in and benefit from any shareholder litigation initiated by a non-party to the agreement. A party to the agreement may not solicit others to initiate or be a named plaintiff in such litigation (i) unless two thirds of the independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) on the board of directors of the Issuer (consisting of at least three independent directors) do not vote in favor of the matter that is the subject of the litigation or (ii) in the case of affiliated transactions reviewed by the board of directors of the Issuer, unless at least one independent director (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) did not approve the transaction.

The summary of the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement contained in this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Specifically, the Reporting Persons and the Separately Filing Group Members may request that the Issuer register all or a portion of their shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) if the anticipated aggregate offering amount of such shares of Class A Common Stock exceeds a specified amount and the stockholders making the request are, at the anticipated time of effectiveness of the applicable registration statement, permitted to sell shares of their Common Stock under the applicable lock-up provisions contained in the Global Hyatt Agreement, Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement and the Agreement Related to Stock, and the Issuer is not otherwise prohibited from filing such registration statement under that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2007, by and among the Issuer and certain other parties thereto (the “2007 Registration Rights Agreement”).

Form S-3 Demand Registration Rights

Commencing on the date that the Issuer becomes eligible to register securities issued on Form S-3, the Reporting Persons and the Separately Filing Group Members holding the requisite amount of Common Stock may request that the Issuer register all or a portion of their shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock under the Securities Act if the anticipated aggregate offering amount of such shares of Class A Common Stock exceeds a specified amount and the stockholders making the request are, at the anticipated time of effectiveness of the applicable registration statement, permitted to sell shares of their Common Stock under the applicable lock-up provisions contained in the Global Hyatt Agreement, Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement and the Agreement Related to Stock, and the Issuer is not otherwise prohibited from filing such registration statement under the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement.

Under the 2009 Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer is not required to effect a demand registration or a Form S-3 demand registration within 180 days after the effective date of a registration statement related to a previous demand or Form S-3 demand registration. In addition, once every twelve months, the Issuer may postpone for up to 120 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a demand or a Form S-3 demand registration in certain circumstances described in the 2009 Registration Rights Agreement.
