Swiss-Belhotel International has opened Grand Swiss-Belresort Tala Bay Aqaba, the group’s first five-star property in Jordan following the completion of the hotel’s rebranding.

Part of the Tala Bay development, the 336-room beachfront property is located on the Red Sea with 80% of the rooms facing the marina.

Swiss-Belhotel International senior vice president operations and development Middle East, Africa and India Laurent A. Voivenel said: “Grand Swiss-Belresort Tala Bay Aqaba is the pearl of the Red Sea and we are very excited to flag it. The hotel is now fully integrated into our global system following the brand conversion. In addition to outstanding accommodation, Grand Swiss-Belresort Tala Bay Aqaba boasts exceptional dining and leisure facilities including three specialty restaurants and a beach bar, five swimming pools, kids club, and exciting water sports and recreation activities.”

“This landmark project was signed a few months ago as part of an exclusive agreement between Swiss-Belhotel International and Jordan Projects for Tourism Development (JPTD), whereby Swiss-Belhotel International will co-manage JPTD’s existing three hotels in Aqaba as well as its future portfolio of properties," he added.
