BoutiqueHotels and Resorts Internationalannounced that it had awarded its coveted Diamond Collection Status to Aquila Elounda Village Resort on Crete’s eastern coast.
Boutique is a strategic alliance group offering marketing support, as well as reservation and global distribution technology, enabling independent boutique properties to compete with major hotel chains.
Member hotels and resorts are divided into three collections: The Diamond Collection (“discreet world class service”), The Emerald Collection (“the very best in their destination”), and The Sapphire Collection (“distinctive style and decor of locale”).
Boutique chairman Martin Beuhler commented: “We are proud to appoint Elounda Village to a very elite group of hotels that can be considered among the absolute best hotels in the world, Boutique’s Diamond Collection.”
The resort recently completed a US $30 million renovation, re-furbishing and re-designing guest rooms and suites, restaurants, bars, and public areas.
Aquila Hotels and Resorts managing director Dimitrios Tsounis said: “Boutique’s Diamond Collection has been our goal, and this accomplishment speaks volumes about our commitment to being not just the best boutique hotel on Crete, but among the best boutique hotels in the world.”
Boutique’s portfolio includes several properties in the MENA region, including: Coral Oriental, Dubai, Coral Beach Resort, Sharjah, Golden Tulip Suites Dubai, Al Barsha, Coral Boutique Hotel, Al Barsha, Coral Boutique Villas, Al Barsha, and Coral Deira, Dubai in the UAE; Coral International Hotel, Al Khobar, in Saudi Arabia; and Al Nahda Resort, Barka, in Oman.
