New design, lavish furnishings, extended meeting space and a luxury spa justify Grand Millennium Amman rebrand.
Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Middle East and Africa (MEA), one of the region’s fastest-growing hotel groups, has upgraded the Millennium Hotel Amman to the five-star deluxe-branded Grand Millennium Amman, Jordan.
The redesign was carried-out by Jordanian Charles Glain and Christopher Guy, the renowned British award-winning international designer and came about after the hotel’s highly successful launch in 2012 – which subsequently consolidated its market-leading position.
The upgrade involved refurbishing the interiors, fixtures and furnishings, creating additional meeting and conference facilities, as well as enhancements to the Moroccan Haman and spa to create a more luxurious experience. The hotel is now planning a new entertainment programme with new promotional packages, supported by a creative marketing campaign.
“The ambition of the Grand Millennium Amman epitomises our plans to manage 50 properties across the region within the next three years with focused management, motivated staff and supportive owners. Ongoing investment is vital to our strategy and we remain committed to our business partners – maximizing their return while enhancing the hotel’s reputation for creating memorable guest experiences,” said Ali Hamad Lakhraim Alzaabi, President & CEO, Millennium and Copthorne Middle East & Africa.
The hotel’s Revenue Per Available Room (RevPar) performance supported the business case for an upgrade in addition to critical acclaim which earned the hotel the region’s Business Destination Travel Award 2013, in recognition of its outstanding corporate guest proposition.
