Movenpick announces 11 new developments
By Pete Hayman
Movenpick Hotels and Resorts, the Switzerland-based hospitality group, has announced 11 new projects across nine countries as part of its continuing international growth strategy.
The latest developments takes the company's total number of operating and planned sites to 100, with new locations to be unveiled in France, Egypt, China and Indonesia among others.
One of the first properties to open will be a Movenpick-branded hotel in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, which is being taken over by the operator from April this year.
Later this year, Movenpick will unveil a 26-villa, boutique-style resort in Samoeng, Thailand, and from January 2013, a 282-bedroom hotel in Paris, France, will be run by the group.
The Paris hotel currently carries the Courtyard by Marriott brand and boasts a fitness centre; a secluded garden; and the 58 Bar and Lounge. It will be renovated before reopening.
Other projects lined up for 2013 include a 380-bedroom Movenpick Resort and Spa, Sanya, China, and the refurbishment and opening of a low-rise hotel in Tozeur, Tunisia.
A 255-bedroom hotel on Djerba island, Tunisia will be revamped and opened by Movenpick next year and the Movenpick Resort and Spa, Jimbaran will open in Indonesia in 2014.
The new schemes also feature the reopening of a 380-bedroom hotel in Marrakesh, Morocco (2014) and a Hirsch/Bedner and Associates-designed property in Chifeng, China (2015).
A new 250-bedroom resort on Pantai Pandak Beach, Malaysia, is due to open in 2015, and a 280-bedroom resort at Cox's Bazar will mark Movenpick's first move into Bangladesh.
Movenpick president and chief operating officer Jean Gabriel Peres said: "We have always believed in growth, but at a sustainable pace.
"From Europe and Africa to the Middle East and Asia, we have carefully consolidated our developments to maintain a balanced portfolio distribution that ensures decision-making is effective, resources are efficiently utilised and development is sustainable."
