Great Hotels of the World Announces Four New Destinations to Exclusive Portfolio

Posted in Business, News on 19 August, 2020

Great Hotels of the World, the renowned international hotel representation group announces 7 new member hotels in 4 new destinations – Warsaw (Poland), Porto (Portugal), the Engadin (Switzerland) and Tivat (Montenegro) – to its curated collection of independent hotels, alongside strengthening its current offering in Barcelona, Prague and the Netherlands.

On the new member hotels, Pedro Colaco, CEO, Great Hotels of the World says, “I am thrilled to welcome each of these hotels to the collection. In the current highly challenging business environment, hotels feel, more than ever, the need for a representation company that supports them, quickly adapting to the rapidly changing pace of business. We work closely with sales and marketing teams and support their return to profitability. We are more relevant than ever. Our flexible, unbundled services, high-tech operation and the high touch approach that a collection of 60 hotels permits, ensure we are uniquely positioned to serve the independent hotel segment. At the same time, the groups and events segment has become increasingly complex; our growing portfolio of destinations and properties, together with the speed and ease with which we can communicate with our member hotels, makes us a very desirable partner.”
