Swiss-Belhotel International, global hotel chain and hospitality management group, recently celebrated 30 years since its inception – a major milestone in the company’s history.

First established in 1987, the Group continues to build on its track record of success as a defining force in hospitality and tourism. Mr. Gavin M Faull, chairman and president of Swiss-Belhotel International and Zest Hotel International, attributes the brand’s achievements to a collaborative approach.

“Our success is due to one major asset, which is people. Our management, qualified executives and hotel teams are dedicated to what they do, on a local, regional and group level. That includes my three sons who have all joined Swiss-Belhotel International and become an integral part of its driving force. Our loyal guests, time and again, show their belief in the brand’s quality and our philosophy of Passion and Professionalism. Without this, no company can survive let alone thrive in the competitive hospitality market or attain longevity.”

“Our investors and property owners have also shown confidence in the integrity and capability of Swiss-Belhotel International,” he added.

Swiss-Belhotel International was born in Hong Kong with the signing of a 10-year management contract for the Jianguo Hotel Beijing, making history from the start as the first international company to manage a hotel in China. The Group has since expanded rapidly with a suite of 11 brands covering everything from budget to luxury stays.
