Abel Matutes, CEO of the Palladium Hotel Group commented:
“The new upscale BLESS Collection Hotels brand will leverage our position in the contemporary luxury market and draws on our existing experience within the lifestyle sector. The concept of ‘contemporary luxury’ is aimed at an ever-growing ‘bleisure’ demographic of travellers who are looking for a combination of business and leisure. With BLESS Collection Hotels, we are catering to this audience by amplifying the experiences that Palladium Hotel Group is already known for, such as convenience, premium services, high-tech facilities, exceptional design credentials, excellent gastronomy options, and super-fast Wifi as well as state-of-the-art health and wellness services.”
