Hakkasan Group, the Abu Dhabi-owned hospitality company, has announced that it will continue its international growth into 2016 with two new restaurants and a nightclub in Indonesia, and the introduction of its Michelin-starred Yauatcha brand to the United States.
The expansion into Indonesia will involve three of its brands – Hakkasan, Sake no Hana and OMNIA – while Yauatcha will open in Houston and Honolulu, said the company, which is owned by Abu Dhabi-based Tasameem.
These developments will follow recent openings in Shanghai, Mykonos, Los Angeles and London, which have expanded Hakkasan Group’s global footprint, and will be complemented by additional openings throughout 2016.
The company, which employs more than 5,000 people globally, has seen revenues rise by almost 600 percent since 2012, it added in the statement.
Hakkasan Group has over 50 establishments across the US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia.
Announcing the expansion plans, Nick McCabe, president, said: “As Hakkasan Group’s first venture into South East Asia and Yauatcha’s into the US, these developments mark a milestone for the Group and speak to our wider business strategy of moving into high growth markets.
“There is significant potential for Hakkasan Group across the entire Pacific Rim and as a result, we are planning aggressive expansion within the region, which will be achieved via our existing portfolio of brands, as well as further diversification through strategic acquisitions and new brand launches.”
The Indonesia establishments, which are all planned to open in Alila Hotels and Resorts’ newest development, Alila SCBD Hotel, in the second half of 2016, are being delivered in partnership with PT Kharisma Jawara Abadi and Alila Hotels & Resorts.
In Houston, Yauatcha will be opened in partnership with Simon Property Group at the Houston Galleria. In Honolulu, the restaurant will open at the International Market Place currently being developed by Taubman and Coastwood Capital Group in conjunction with Queen Emma Land Company.
