The luxury hotel group Kerzner, led since September 2016 by Jean-Gabriel Pérès, displays its ambition to expand its offering by 5 to 7 establishments per year from 2017.
The Kerzner group, which today has 12 luxury resorts around the world, including 9 One & Only, and the famous Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas and Atlantis Palm in Dubai, is expected to triple the number of its establishments by 2020.
The new CEO of the South African company, Frenchman Jean-Gabriel Pérès, announced on Thursday December 1 that he wanted to open 5 to 7 new addresses per year, whether through renovations and acquisitions or construction.
A “new chapter” for Kerzner
« It’s a new chapter for the company that is starting » according to Jean-Gabriel Pérès, who specifies that he is particularly interested in Morocco, where Kerzner already owns the Mazagan Beach Resort hotel, as well as in Mexico.
Several One & Only are already under construction in Mexico, China, Bahrain and Montenegro. The new director does not yet have his sights set on France, but remains on the lookout for a hotel « of particular originality » that would become available there.
The Kerzner Group manages the brands One & Only (« ultra-luxury resorts in spectacular locations »), Atlantis (luxury resorts with an aquatic accent) and Mazagan.
