CHEDI KHORFAKKAN SHAJAH, UAE
Luxury resort and hotel group GHM, has announced plans for new boutique properties in locales well beyond its traditional geographic base in Southeast Asia, including The Chedi Khorfakkan in Sharjah, pictured here. Over the next four years, as new hotels come online in China and Switzerland, in India and the United Arab Emirates, GHM expects to double the size of its portfolio.
The developments include the two properties under contrsuction in Suzhou, China and Andermatt, Switzerland. In Kona, Hawaii GHM is collaborating with Pritzker Architecture Prize-winner Tadao Ando on
the development of a new 32-villa property situated on a hardened flow of lava. Also in China, GHM has launched a new
hotel brand, Ahn Luh, in collaboration with China’s largest tourism group and a prominent real estate developer. The first two Ahn Luh properties are scheduled to open in two-to- three years. New development deals are also in the planning stages for Cuba and Brazil. “In our first 20 years, we pioneered resorts
in some of the world’s most up-and-coming destinations, from Ubud on Bali to Quang Nam in Vietnam, establishing an ambitious presence with hotels that melded lofty, contemporary design with exquisite, local architectural elements,” comments Hans Jenni, who co-
founded GHM with Amanresorts visionary Adrian Zecha. “In this, the first year of our third decade, we’re engineering the moves on a five-year plan of growth the likes of which we’ve never seen.” GHM has earned a reputation for refined
hotel designs, having worked with some of the world’s most sought after and creative designers. “Because so many of our guests tend to
spend a lot of time on property, we feel an additional, creative responsibility,” adds Jenni. “Each of our properties is not merely a hotel or a resort, but a setting, a destination in its own right, and thus, an opportunity to create a space that’s not easily forgotten.”
