Cross Hotels & Resorts is driven by a resolute commitment to substantial expansion, aiming to elevate its portfolio from 28 to 100 hotels by 2028. Their vision is to become the premier Hotel Management operator in the Asia-Pacific region, offering innovative alternatives to global chains. This strategy gains further strength through the recent introduction of three new brands – Lumen, Kaura, and Cross Collection. These brands offer both investors and guests distinctive choices, characterised by innovation and complementarity.
Global Footprint and Strategic Expansion:
With a strong current presence in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Japan, Cross is now strategically exploring opportunities in Cambodia, Malaysia, and Singapore, with future aspirations to bridge Oceania and Asia by entering the Australian market. To accelerate this growth, the company has introduced a conversion brand and white label solution, solidifying its position as a dominant force in the Asia Pacific hospitality industry.
“We are embarking on an exhilarating journey to redefine the future of hospitality. Our relentless commitment to innovation and our ambitious expansion plans signal our unwavering dedication to providing exceptional experiences to our guests and unparalleled opportunities for our partners.” – Harry Thaliwal, CEO of Cross Hotels & Resorts.
