ALILA CHA-AM MAKES IT INTO CONDÉ NAST TRAVELLER UK HOT LIST 2008

 

Alila Cha-Am, which soft-opened on 1 Feb 2008, is proud and honored to be included in Condé Nast Traveller UK’s Hot List for 2008. The annual Condé Nast Traveller UK Hot List is renowned within the travel media industry for profiling the 65 “most stylish, most innovative, most luxurious hotels” around the world. Condé Nast Traveller UK is one of the world’s leading and definitive magazines on travel and lifestyle, focusing on the world’s best hotels and holiday destinations.

According to Urs Aebi, General Manager of Alila Cha-Am, who spearheaded the property’s opening earlier this year, “We are delighted to receive this award from Condé Nast UK. Even though Alila Cha-Am has only been open for a few months, we have already begun to make a name for ourselves as one of Asia’s most architecturally striking and innovative, lifestyle resorts. Much of this award would not have been possible without the assistance of our team, who has worked tirelessly since our opening to ensure that the day-to-day service of the resort remains impeccable.”

Sharing the General Manager’s sentiment is Frederic Flageat-Simon, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of Alila Hotels & Resorts. “We are honored to be recognized as one of Asia’s most stylish hotels,” says Flageat-Simon. “Alila Cha-Am is one of the new and exciting developments that Alila is embarking in the region. We intend to combine design aesthetics with elegant functionality, cool technology and personalized service to continually thrill and surprise our guests.”
