MBI Al Jaber - Business Interests - JJW Hotels & Resorts
JJW is an international Group involved in the acquisition, development and operation of hotels and resorts in prime locations in Europe and the Middle East.
Established in France & Portugal in the late 80s, acquiring an impressive portfolio of 5 star, 4 star, 3 star & 2 star hotels, owning and operating 75 hotels in Europe and the Middle East.
The Group is achieving rapid growth by focusing on two complementary market segments. In the more mature European market, the offering of 5 and 4 star hotels and luxury golf resorts is being increased through acquisitions and mergers. In the more dynamic Middle Eastern market, growth is achieved through the construction of new hotels.
In the European market, 4 and 5 star hotels have already been acquired in some of the world's most fashionable cities: Cannes, London, Paris and Vienna. Recently, the Group acquired the prestigious Hotel de Vigny and Hotel Balzac in Paris. The Balzac is currently undergoing a complete refit to make it into one of the most sought after hotels in Paris.
The Group also owns Pinheiros Altos, one of the most exclusive and successful 5 star luxury golf and residential resorts in the Algarve, southern Portugal. As part of JJW's ongoing commitment to excellence, a 5 star hotel and spa is due to open in 2006 in the grounds of Pinheiros Altos.
By delivering consistent quality across all of its brands, JJW Hotels & Resorts is becoming a significant force in the hospitality market. To maintain this position and to take advantage of economies of scale and cross-marketing opportunities not available to smaller companies, the Group continues to make considerable investments in management and IT infrastructure.
