| Houston,
TX � September 2006 � ProHotel
International, the hotel management and ownership company specializing
in small luxury properties, has embarked on an aggressive expansion program
worldwide. The Houston based firm, known for the Riviera Maya�s Ikal del
Mar, has earmarked Latin America and Europe as its prime targets. The firm,
which grew out of 18 year old ProHotel International marketing, presently
has 17 projects and properties in operation or development, ranging from
the Riviera Maya and Marbella to Madrid, Honduras and the Spanish Pyrenees.
ProHotel
International�s approach is to create properties unique in concept that
seamlessly blend into their environment, incorporating local culture and
a strong sense of place. �Today�s high-end travelers are looking for something
different that they can�t find at home, whether it�s spa treatments and
amenities or food and interior design,� said Sandra Beltran, Vice President
of Sales and Marketing.� They also want a standard of service and luxury
beyond their expectations,� she continued.
ProHotel
was most recently in the news in June when the company sold Ikal del Mar
to The Kor Group. �We secured what is arguably the highest price ever fetched
for a property on Mexico�s Mayan Riviera,� said Samir Saab, CEO. The firm
has managed the property since the sale and will be pulling out in late
October of this year. �We want to concentrate our development on our new
Mayan Riviera jewel, Esencia (essence),� said Saab, �and have plans to
use the name in other properties worldwide as we�re convinced it resonates
with today�s traveler looking for sophisticated simplicity,� he concluded.
Principals
of ProHotel are Samir Saab, CEO; Nicolas Dominguez, Chief Operating Officer;
Alberto Remirez Perez, Vice President of Business Development; Federico
Cartens, Chief Financial Officer; and Sandra Beltran, Vice President of
Sales and Marketing.
Over
the firm�s 18 year history in marketing and branding, other clients have
included Chiva Som International Health Resort, the Wheatleigh, Small Luxury
Hotels of the World, and Punta Islita.
