COMO Hotels and Resorts is a Singapore-based, multinational hospitality company that owns and operates hotels and residences branded under the same name.[1][2][3] Founded by Singaporean-entrepreneur Christina Ong in 1991[4], the company operates 15 luxury hotels and resorts in Australia, Bhutan, Indonesia, Italy, the Maldives, Thailand, Turks and Caicos, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[5]
History[edit]
The company was founded in 1991 by Christina Ong and her husband, Malaysian tycoon Ong Beng Seng. Having previously owned several franchised hotel properties including Hilton and Four Seasons properties in Asia and Europe, COMO Hotels and Resorts marked the Ong's entry into hotel management.[6] The company commenced operations with the opening of The Halkin hotel in London, England in 1991.[7] This was followed by the opening of Parrot Cay resort in Turks and Caicos in 1998, and the Cocoa Island resort in the Maldives in 2002. In 2004, the company acquired and assumed management over the Begawan Giri Estate in Ubud, Bali, later becoming the group's flagship property.[8][9]
The company operates hotels and resorts in the luxury segment and Forbes Magazine claims that "COMO's brand ethos has been strongly based on wellness and sustainability".[7] A separate unit, branded as COMO Shambhala, to operate and provide wellbeing and spa goods and services outside its hotels has since been established.[10]
The group's Parrot Cay resort was named the location of numerous celebrity death hoaxes, including hoaxes on the supposed deaths of Ted Nugent, Ja Rule, Chad Kroeger and Vince Vaughn.[11]
In 2018, the company acquired Castello Del Nero, a 12th century Tuscan castle turned hotel, in a deal worth €39.6 million.[12] The property reopened in 2019 as COMO Castello Del Nero following extensive restorations led by Milanese designer Paola Navone.[13]
Properties[edit]
As of July 2021, COMO Hotels and Resorts operates 15 hotels in nine countries in Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania.[14] COMO Shambhala Estate in Ubud, Bali is the group's flagship.[15]
