Banyan Group recently wrapped up a series of vibrant celebrations in Riyadh, Doha, and Dubai, marking its momentous achievement of opening the 100th hotel worldwide. These events not only highlighted the Group’s impressive global growth but also underscored the Middle East’s significant role as a dynamic engine for expansion and innovation within the luxury hospitality sector.
The festivities drew a distinguished gathering of leaders from the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries, alongside government officials and key media partners. The convergence celebrated decades of collaboration, shared success, and a mutual commitment to elevating luxury standards in one of the Group’s fastest-growing regions.
Mr. Walaa Mannaa, Director of Global Sales for the Middle East at Banyan Group, remarked on this landmark occasion with pride and vision:
“Reaching 100 hotels is a proud milestone for our Group, and it is only fitting to celebrate this achievement with our valued partners in Riyadh, Doha, and Dubai. The Middle East is one of our fastest-growing markets, and we remain committed to working closely with travel trade partners and authorities to strengthen tourism flows and elevate the luxury hospitality experience across the region.”
Founded in 1994 in Singapore, Banyan Group has accumulated over 30 years of expertise in luxury hospitality, operating a prestigious portfolio across 22 countries. Their brands—Banyan Tree, Angsana, Cassia, Dhawa, and Garrya—embody a unique commitment to sustainability, cultural authenticity, and exceptional guest service.
A hallmark of Banyan Group’s ethos is the celebration of heritage and community through immersive travel experiences. From eco-conscious resorts in the Maldives to heritage-rich properties in Vietnam and China, each destination offers guests meaningful connections to place and culture. The upcoming grand opening of the Mandai Rainforest Resort in Singapore, their 100th property, embodies this vision of environmental stewardship combined with innovative luxury.
Over a dedicated 100-day global campaign titled “100 Journeys,” Banyan Group is engaging guests and associates alike in shared stories, cultural discovery, and community-driven initiatives leading up to the grand celebration. Proceeds from the culminating week-long festival will directly support local charities through Singapore’s President’s Challenge, amplifying the Group’s mission to make meaningful social impact alongside business success.
This regional celebration in the Middle East is more than a milestone—it is a testament to Banyan Group’s dedication to inspiring sustainable growth, enriching travel experiences, and fostering lasting partnerships worldwide.
