Chaaya Resorts and Hotels
John Keells Hotels, a member of JKH, is Sri Lanka's largest hotel operator with a portfolio of two city hotels in Colombo and 11 resort hotels situated in prime locations in Sri Lanka and Maldives. Chaaya Resorts and Hotels is the result of a re branding and repositioning strategy of the John Keells Hotels portfolio. Having understood the rapidly changing world of tourism, Chaaya Resorts and Hotels has moved away from simply marketing a property to providing visitors a varied range of experiences made possible through the rich and diverse array of environs surrounding the properties. A series of 'Experience Packages', targeting interests of guests, from adventure and history to wildlife, marine life, culture and nature, each package will take guests on tours of discovery. The amazing landscapes, vivid cultures and exclusive holiday encounters re designed to conjure up memories to be treasured for life. The 'Experience Package' concept also provides individual and package tourists the opportunity to pre-book and pre-package their preferred experience, at the time of booking, breaking away from the monotony of the old all-inclusive group concept. The name Chaaya, meaning 'image', encompasses the surrounding environment and culture intrinsic to each of the hotels and is packaged to provide a total experience to the novelty-seeking tourist, while maintaining a consistent high standard of service across all hotels within the Chaaya chain. |
