Leading hotel group Viceroy Hotels & Resorts is looking to expand its presence in the GCC along with plans to launch two new hotels over the next two years.

Viceroy Regional vice president and managing director, Mark Griffiths said: "As Viceroy Hotel Group, we’re looking to expand in destinations where Etihad Airways flies to, given that a great value of our market comes from Abu Dhabi and the GCC.”

Viceroy Hotels & Resorts eyes several openings across the GCC for the succeeding years. Guests will soon be able to experience Viceroy Palm Jumeirah Dubai on March 31, 2017. The architectural gem features 477 rooms and suites, eight dinning and nightlife venues, and facilities such as a beach club. One of its specialty restaurants is Quattro Passi which was founded by two Michelin-stared Italian Chef Antonio Mellino. This will be the first of its kind in the Middle East.
 
By the second quarter of 2018, Viceroy Hotels & Resorts will open its first luxury hotel and resort in Princes’ Islands, Istanbul. Viceroy Hotels & Resorts is also working on further developments in Morocco and Serbia.

“The Viceroy Hotel Group is growing quickly from its present size. I look forward to growing as the regional vice president and managing director and growing with the company as it expands,” Griffiths concluded.

The group, through Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi, also continues to strengthen its relationship with respective island partners in the UAE capital and with the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority by offering packages together with Yas Waterworld, Ferrari World and Generation V for GCC families who will be celebrating the upcoming holidays on the island. - TradeArabia News Service
