“A prime location, enhanced by the unique concept of service and style which is the hallmark of U Hotels & Resorts will indeed differentiate us. Encouraged and enthused by the brand’s impressive expansion into Thailand, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia, we believe we have a winning formula,” he added.
The property marks the beginning of the company’s plans for growth in the region, with a further four hotels to be announced in the Middle East.
