The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts Continues Global Growth
6/11/2012
NEW YORK—On the heels of the International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) Asia, The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts announces plans to continue its growth momentum globally with the debut of ten hotels and resorts in destinations including Shanghai and Sanya in China, Jaipur and Chennai in India, the Blue Mountains in Australia as well as Koh Samui, Thailand and Jakarta, Indonesia.
The Luxury Collection is an ensemble of more than 80 hotels and resorts in 30 countries around the world with new construction and conversion properties that span China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Australia. Offering the brand’s signature Luxury Collection Concierge service and indigenous cultural experiences, these new hotels join the brand’s portfolio as portals for guests to discover each destination.
“This is a milestone for The Luxury Collection as we open ten new hotels and resorts—the most of any year in the brand’s history,” says Paul James, Global Brand Leader, St. Regis and The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts, in an announcement. “As a new generation of global affluent travelers emerge, we are strategically growing our portfolio beyond the traditional luxury grid and in diverse destinations, like China’s Hainan Island and India’s Chennai, that have become important hubs for business and leisure.”
EXPANSION IN CHINA
The Royal Begonia, a Luxury Collection Resort, Sanya will debut in August 2012 as the brand’s first resort in China, situated on Hainan Island. The 142 guestrooms open onto a large balcony. Eighteen villas each will feature a private pool, courtyard gardens, and high-tech amenities.
In September 2012, Twelve at Hengshan, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Shanghai will also open. The interior design of the 171-room residential-style hotel was created by design duo Yabu Pushelberg. Italy-based Mario Botta led the architecture and design of the exteriors.
Looking ahead, The Castle, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Dalian is scheduled to open in 2014. The 1958, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Suzhou will debut in July 2015.
