Our Story
A legacy of luxury, excellence, and unparalleled hospitality.
A Tradition of Excellence
Founded in 1985, our luxury hotel collection has set the standard for exceptional hospitality around the world. What began as a single property has grown into an international portfolio of distinctive hotels and resorts, each embodying the unique character of its location while maintaining our signature standard of excellence.
Our founder, Jonathan Blackwell, envisioned creating spaces where luxury wasn't just about opulence, but about meaningful experiences and impeccable service. This vision continues to guide us today as we expand our presence while staying true to our core values.
Each of our properties is designed to be a sanctuary of sophistication and comfort, where every detail is considered and every guest is valued. From the architectural elements that honor local traditions to the curated art collections that tell a story, our hotels are more than just places to stay—they are destinations in themselves.
