Hotel industry company Standard International announced its global growth pipeline of fifteen new projects including its first European property, The Standard, London opening this Spring in Kings Cross.
The parent company of Standard Hotels and the Bunkhouse Group has solidified twelve new Standard hotels in London, Paris, Milan, Lisbon, Mexico City, Chicago, the Maldives, Bangkok, Phuket, Jakarta, Hua Hin and Pattaya, as well as three new Bunkhouse hotels in Austin, New Orleans and Atlanta.
"This is an exciting time for our team," Standard International CEO Amar Lalvani said. "We have a global pipeline of incredible projects well underway in some of the most interesting places in the world, all with first-rate partners."
"Sophisticated hotel owners and developers have taken note of how genuine and rich our culture and creativity are compared to the plethora of soulless 'lifestyle brands' popping up seemingly at every turn," Lalvani continued. "We are excited to open the doors of The Standard, London very soon to demonstrate our unique take on hospitality to a new region of the world for us."
In addition to the pipeline growth, Standard International became the first company in the industry to launch a venture-backed technology company, One Night, when it debuted in 2016.
One Night is a same-day hotel booking app operating in 17 cities with a curated list of over 200 experientially driven hotels.
