2. Oberoi Hotels

Their story wrote its early chapters in 1934 in Shimla where Mr. M.S. Oberoi pioneered the idea of luxury hospitality in India by opening his first hotel.
The lessons self-taught, the inevitable mistakes made, the wisdom gained, the prestigious awards won. All have formed the compass for successive generations of Oberois.
To this day, they still practice the most simple and uncommon of operational philosophies that began with Mr. M.S. Oberoi himself and are now echoed by his son and Chairman Emeritus Mr. P.R. S. Oberoi: The guest is everything.
Their joy comes from ensuring each is seen and valued as a person, a friend, or a family member who has come to stay. It‘s present in every gesture through words spoken or unspoken, in ways that are obvious and in ways that are quietly respectful of one’s time and privacy.
You will be hard-pressed to find properties as beautiful as theirs or restaurants, guest rooms, and, facilities that are as exceptional. But these are not what give Oberoi Hotels & Resorts its incomparable reputation.
What their guests speak about most is that singular experience of being truly seen, heard, and understood. Something no other hotel or resort can emulate. The astonishing effect one feels from an act, a gesture, a word; that is heartfelt.

Jordi Clos is the chairman and founder of Derby Hotels Collection, a Catalan businessman closely linked to the tourist sector in Barcelona, who runs the company along with his family in a very personal manner.

He chairs the Clos Archaeological Foundation, an organization that owns the Egyptian Museum of Barcelona, with the largest private collection of Egyptian art in Europe on display to the public and that has been funding archaeological digs in Egypt for over twenty years.

Everyday life is filled with opportunities to seek the exceptional, encounter the new, and widen their horizons.
For their worldly guests, a stay at Anantara is just one more chapter in a lifetime of travel and exploration. And they intend to make it an extraordinary one.
The Anantara experience was born in 2001 with their first luxury property in Thailand’s historic seaside retreat of Hua Hin – they love the food.

Today’s portfolio spans Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
Their thoughtfully designed luxury hotels and resorts provide windows into the genuine modern character of each destination.
Inside and outside each property, travelers engage with the places, people, and stories that make the destination like nowhere else in the world.
