  • Hakkasan Group Announces Multi-Million Dollar Partnership in New Luxury Bali Resort
    HAKKASAN GROUP ANNOUNCES MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PARTNERSHIP IN NEW LUXURY BALI RESORT NEXT PHASE OF EXPANSION INTO SOUTH EAST ASIA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH KAJA GROUP AND ALILA HOTELS & RESORTS JAKARTA, INDONESIA (8 September 2016) – Hakkasan Group, the global hospitality company, today announced plans to open two new venues at The Cliff at Alila Villas Uluwatu. The destination resort will host the world’s first OMNIA Dayclub and luxury Japanese restaurant Sake No Hana in Bali with partners KAJA Group and Alila Hotel & Resorts. The development of these two brands in Bali is the largest investment of its kind in Indonesia and will generate 150 jobs when they open in Q3 2017, with around 250 additional jobs through the construction of the site. The Indonesian Government has a target of 20 million tourists annually by 2020 so this is set to increase the demand for luxury hospitality. This dynamic partnership is preempting this with a revolutionary new destination in Bali that will change the face of hospitality in Indonesia and reposition the region as a must-see travel spot for tourists. This is the next stage in the partnership announced last year, which will also see Sake no Hana, OMNIA Nightclub and Hakkasan restaurant opening in partnership with KAJA Group and Alila Hotels & Resorts in Alila SCBD Hotel, Jakarta. When complete, the three luxury experiences will bring 339 jobs to the capital city. The partnership and investment from KAJA Group in both Jakarta and Bali totals $38 million. It is a continuation of Hakkasan Group’s business strategy of taking its brand portfolio into new high-growth markets across the world and demonstrates its commitment to investing in the region.

  • DRAFT Project Washington Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DESTINATION HOTELS AND COMMUNE HOTELS & RESORTS INTRODUCE TWO ROADS HOSPITALITY Newly Established Company Names Jamie Sabatier as CEO And Niki Leondakis, CEO of Hotels & Resorts, Two Roads Hospitality DENVER, COLORADO – September 26, 2016 – Recently merged, Destination Hotels and Commune Hotels & Resorts today unveiled their new overarching company: Two Roads Hospitality. The newly created international lifestyle company features an unrivaled collection of truly individual hotels, resorts and vacation residences that caters to guests’ personal journeys. Comprised of Joie de Vivre Hotels, Thompson Hotels, Destination Hotels, tommie and Alila Hotels & Resorts, Two Roads Hospitality is poised to be the leading operator of independent, boutique and lifestyle hotels with more than 95 properties in eight countries, and approximately $2 billion in total property revenues under management. The new company name reflects the distinctive paths that both Commune and Destination have forged in the independent and lifestyle hospitality sector. Two Roads Hospitality also references the joining together of parallel companies with over 40 years of combined expertise exclusively dedicated to the boutique and lifestyle space, sharing similar philosophies and complementary property locations while staying continuously committed to the pursuit of experiences that are individual and unique. Newly defined as a hospitality company, the moniker refers to not only the robust collection of hotels and resorts managed by the merged company, but also its award-winning restaurants and bars, stunning vacation residences, world-class golf courses, and indigenous spa and wellness offerings. The name draws inspiration from the famous Robert Frost poem about the “road less traveled,” speaking to guests' desire for discovery and choice throughout their journeys, encouraging team members to express their heartfelt passions and personalities, and recognizing the individual goals and customized solutions for each property owner.

  • Dealing with a Trump World
    Crafting a sustainable future • for globalisation at Davos • Growth risks in 2017: China, oil, debt • Disruptive technology trends Feb – March 2017 MCI (P) 148/08/2016 Dealing with a Trump world Donald Trump’s salvos against globalism raises questions about whether America will remain a beacon of hope, for Asia and beyond. Will the wall he is erecting leave the US vulnerable? Letter from the Editor-in-Chief Gain an insider’s view on Asia with us Dear readers, It has only been weeks since United States President Donald Trump took office, but his slew of executive orders has stirred much controversy and sparked considerable anxiety around the world. These include America’s withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, controversial appointments, as well as clashes with other political and world leaders. The implications of these recent events are likely to be with us well into 2017, and beyond. Straits Times US Bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh takes a look at what the new Trump presidency means for all of us and where things might be heading, while our associate editor Ravi Velloor ponders the implications for Asia should the US decide to go head-to-head with China, on trade or security issues. Mr Trump was the focus of attention at this year’s World Economic Forum meet in Davos too, where delegates debated what his “America First!” views portend for the world and the future of globalisation. I attended the sessions and sum up the discussions on pages 10 & 11. These issues are a key focus for all of us in The Straits Times.
