12/11/2007 |
12th November 2007 - A year into his role as the new CEO of Corinthia Hotels International, operators of the luxury ‘Corinthia Hotels’ brand, Tony Potter unveiled Corinthia Hotels’ new ‘Image’ as an integral part of their new exhibition stand design at World Travel Market 2007. The new brand image is synonymous with the five star luxury and opulence of the upscale Corinthia Hotels properties in the Czech Republic, Libya, Hungary, Malta, Portugal and Russia.
In recent months, Corinthia has experienced a number of exciting changes that have come to strengthen its five-star properties brand. Key among these are:
- The joint venture with Wyndham Hotel Group, which has expanded and globalized Corinthia Hotels’ sales and marketing activities as well as provided a broader reach worldwide through Wyndham’s large sales force;
- The ascension of Corinthia as a top choice for the Meetings, Incentives, Conference and Events (MICE) market as well as for corporate travel through its specialised Events@Corinthia programme;
- CHI expansion into new destinations that include Algiers, Dubai, Morocco, Rumania and the UK;
-The re-branding of the Aquincum Hotel in Budapest into the Ramada Plaza portfolio. Both the Panorama Hotel in Prague and the Khamsa Hotel in Tunisia will be re-branded in early 2008;
- The ongoing upgrading and refurbishments of the stunning Corinthia Hotels properties, particularly the Corinthia San Gorg in Malta, the Corinthia Lisboa in Portugal and the Corinthia Nevskij Palace Hotel in St Petersburg, which is being transformed into the City’s largest and most opulent conference and events hotel;
- The new Spa offerings at Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal, Budapest – Corinthia Palace Hotel, Malta, and the soon to be launched Spa at the Corinthia Lisboa Hotel in Lisbon
- The reorganisation of the CHI Marketing team into a dynamic sales force through the internal appointments of Vivienne Willison as Director of Sales, Vanessa Coleiro as Director of Marketing, Manuel Briffa as Director of Public Relations, and Chris Scicluna as Director of Revenue, while Shawn Pisani, with his new position of Director of Products & Services, retains responsibility for the Events@Corinthia MICE Programme.
- The receipt of various awards and other recognitions such as Prague’s Corinthia Towers Hotel recognition award from the American Tourism Society (ATS) for its outstanding service when it hosted the ATS Conference in Prague; and awards received by Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal in Budapest, among them for ‘Best Hotel in Budapest’ by World Travel Awards and ‘Best Luxury World’ category in the 2006 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award. The hotel’s general manager, Adrian Ellis, was also voted as top hotel general manager in Budapest for 2007, an accolade also emulated in St Petersburg by the general manager of the Corinthia Nevskij Palace Hotel, Gerold Held.
“All of these achievements were made possible through the efforts and perseverance of our talented teams in every country we operate in.” Tony Potter said. “At Corinthia Hotels it’s mostly to do with human resourcefulness. In other words it’s all about Talent, which is in great abundance in our Company. This gives us a tremendous boost and we now look forward to the coming year with new energy and the highest of expectations,” concluded the Corinthia Hotels chief executive officer.
