Sustainable vision

摘要

In its first 10 years of existence Alila Hotels and Resorts has carved out a distinctive niche as an Asian-grown management company of design-centric, sustainability-minded boutique luxury hotels and resorts. With eight hotels open at press time and a ninth — Alila Bangalore — slated to open in August, not to mention 20 hotels in the pipeline throughout Southeast Asia as well as Oman and Portugal, Singapore-based Alila is a company on the rise, albeit with a measured approach."I don't think Alila is ever goingto be a 400- to 500-hotel company — that's really not what the DNA of the brand is about," says CEO Frederic Flageat-Simon. "It's always going to be about having a really great collection of very unique properties."
