    [BENGALURU] US hotel operator Hyatt Hotels Corp plans to buy resort company Apple Leisure Group from its private-equity owner KKR & Co and travel-and-leisure specialist KSL Capital Partners LLC for US$2.7 billion including any debt, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

    The deal is expected to be announced on Monday, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
