Who owns the Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun?

MEXICO CITY, Aug.15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ – FibraHotel (BMV: FIHO12), the first real estate investment trust specialized in hotels in Mexico announces an agreement to acquire the Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun resort hotel for a purchase price of Ps.2,892 million in a sale and leaseback transaction with Grupo Posadas,

FibraHotel and Grupo Posadas have signed a binding agreement subject to certain conditions including: (i) the approval of Grupo Posadas´ and FibraHotel´s shareholders, (ii) FibraHotel´s successful CBFI placement and, (iii) COFECE 1 Authorization. The transaction is expected to close at the beginning of 2018.

Additionally FibraHotel and Grupo Posadas have committed to invest about Ps.60 million each to renovate public areas without closing the hotel during 2017 and 2018. Together with the recent room renovation, this will represent an investment of over Ps.400 million in the hotel in the past few years. To fund this investment as well as other projects including its property pipeline and other general corporate purposes, FibraHotel called a CBFI holders assembly to take place on September 1 st 2017. The items in the agenda will focus on, among other things, the approval of: (i) an equity shelf program of up to Ps.10,000 million, of which, (ii) Ps.4,000 million plus an overallotment option will be the first issuance of the equity program, and (iii) the acquisition of the Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun hotel.

Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun hotel has 507 full-service rooms that were recently renovated. The hotel will be operated by Grupo Posadas and FibraHotel will sign a long-term lease agreement with fixed and variable rent components. The Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun is an iconic all-inclusive five star resort hotel in a prime location with over 200m of beach front in a land plot of over 40,000m2 in the zona hotelera region of Cancun in Mexico,

The hotel has 507 rooms and 15 consumption centers, including five specialty restaurants, five bars, spa, over 1,100 m2 of meeting and event space, a kid’s club and other amenities. This resort mainly generates U.S. dollar-denominated revenues and operates under the all-inclusive model; where guests pay a single flat rate for a package that includes food and beverage in addition to lodging.

Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun recently underwent a ~Ps 300 million renovation by Grupo Posadas, Cancun is the largest hotel market and the most established leisure market in Mexico with over 68,000 hotel rooms 2 in 2016 (~70% all-inclusive2). A total of over 10 million passengers arrived in Cancun´s airport in 2016 of which over seven million were international, surpassing Mexico City´s international arrivals.

Cancun has a broad and established tourism infrastructure and an average occupancy rate of over 77%2 in 2016. The acquisition of this all-inclusive five star resort hotel will represent FibraHotel’s first property in the large resort segment, which we believe could open an important new channel for growth for the Company in the future.

Accessing the large resort segment could provide FibraHotel with the opportunity to increase its proportion of U.S. dollar-denominated revenues and add diversification to its portfolio with a vision of becoming Mexico´s leading hotel owner across all segments. FibraHotel’s portfolio, including Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun hotel, will consist of 87 hotels with 12,726 rooms, of which 80 hotels are in operation (11,487 rooms) and seven hotels are in different development stages.

Published by Jul 22, 2022 Grupo Posadas was the largest domestic hotel group in Mexico as of early 2022, operating 185 properties in total.

What is the history of Fiesta Americana?

History of Grupo Posadas, S.A. de C.V. – Grupo Posadas, S.A. de C.V., based in Mexico and owned by Mexicans, is the largest Latin American operator of hotels in Latin America and is the biggest hotel operator in Mexico. The company owns and/or operates hotels in Mexico under the Fiesta Americana, Fiesta Inn, and Explorean brand names; in Brazil and Argentina under the Caesar Park and Caesar Business names; and in Texas chiefly under the Holiday Inn name.

Grupo Posadas has survived and grown despite the mid-1990s economic crisis that sent its two biggest Mexican competitors into bankruptcy and the drop in foreign tourists that followed the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Building a Hotel Chain: 1967-92 The company was founded in 1967 as Promotora Mexicana de Hoteles by Gaston Azcarraga Tomayo, a cousin of Emilio Azcarraga Milmo, who developed Grupo Televisa, S.A.

de C.V. into a giant Mexican media conglomerate. Azcarraga Tomayo entered the hotel business with the construction and operation of the Fiesta Palace (now the Fiesta Americana Reforma) in Mexico City, which opened in 1970. Soon after entering the business he sold his auto-assembly factories to Chrysler Corporation and invested the funds in 1969 in a partnership with Americana Hotels, a subsidiary of American Airlines.

This partnership, Operadora Mexicana de Hoteles, began operating luxury hotels such as the Condesa del Mar (later Fiesta Americana Condesa Acapulco) and the El Presidente Acapulco. The change in operation marked a more businesslike approach to five-star lodging on the Mexican gold coast. The partnership added another tower of rooms to El Presidente, elevating its capacity by 400 rooms, but appalled one observer by soliciting group business, filling the lobby with stores, and covering the marble floor of the lobby with acrylic rugs.

The luxury-class Fiesta Americana chain was founded in 1979 with the opening of a hotel by that name in Puerto Vallerta. Two more Fiesta Americana hotels opened their doors in 1982, in Cancun and Guadalajara. The partnership was now called Hoteles Fiesta Americana.

In 1982 Hoteles Fiesta Americana merged with Posadas de Mexico, which had been established in 1969 by Pratt Hotel Corp., a U.S. company that was the exclusive operator of franchised Holiday Inn hotels in Mexico. The merged enterprise, which retained the Posadas de Mexico name, became the largest Mexican hotel company, operating 13 hotels.

During the 1980s Azcarraga decided to focus on building the Fiesta Americana chain. Between 1984 and 1988 Posadas de Mexico built three more Fiesta Americana hotels in Cancun and nearby Cozumel Reef in partnership with Swiss and German banks and also consolidated its position as an operator of hotels.

In 1989 the Azcarraga family bought Pratt’s half of the company. Gaston Azcarraga Andrade, son of the founder and a graduate of Harvard University’s business school, became general manager of the company that year. Posadas de Mexico now had 30 hotels and, under Azcarraga Andrade’s direction, had expanded its operations to Texas.

He succeeded his father as the president of the group in 1993. Expansion Amid Adversity: 1992-2002 Taking the name Grupo Posadas, the company went public in 1992, selling shares both in Mexico City and New York This enabled the company to open residential developments in the beach resorts of Ixtapa and Arcano and to change its focus for Fiesta Inn, a moderately priced hotel chain initially placed in four beach resorts.

As revised, Fiesta Inns were placed in cities and its rooms priced at only one-quarter that of the Fiesta Americana chain because they limited services to those needed by the business traveler rather than the tourist. Fiesta Inns were laid out in such a way as to encourage guests to spend their money without leaving the hotel and featured such cost-control features as separate electric circuits for each floor so that areas unoccupied during slow periods could be cordoned off and shut down.

The cities chosen as hotel sites-Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Colima, Culiacan, Puebla, and Tepic-were seen as those most likely to benefit from the impending North American Free Trade Agreement. By this time Grupo Posadas, through Swancourt, a U.S. affiliate, also owned a Sheraton Fiesta in San Antonio, Texas; Holiday Inns in McAllen and Laredo, Texas; and a Hampton Inn in Buena Park, California.

The sudden devaluation of the peso in late 1994 was damaging to Grupo Posadas, which suffered nearly $40 million in foreign-exchange losses because most of its debt was in dollars. This left the highly leveraged group with only $140 million in equity and $260 million in debt. However, Grupo Posadas found it could make a profit in the ensuing recession because it charged foreigners in dollars while covering its costs in devalued pesos.

Gross operating profits rose 60 percent in 1995 (although the company still incurred a net loss that year as well as the previous one). In addition to 17 Fiesta Americana and 14 Fiesta Inn hotels, Grupo Posadas was managing Crowne Plaza hotels in major Mexican cities and Holiday Inns in smaller ones.

1. Sixty percent of its rooms were located in cities and 40 percent in beach resorts.
2. Grupo Posadas’ 40 hotel holdings in the summer of 1996 were a combination of company-owned units, joint ventures, and management contracts.
3. The group was the majority shareholder in 20 hotels, a minority investor in ten more, and the operator only of the remaining ten.

That year Fiesta Americana was cited by World & Travel News as Mexico’s best hotel chain. In 1996 Grupo Posadas and Morgan Stanley & Co. announced plans to invest about $200 million over the next 18 months to buy a number of Mexican hotels. The group failed in its effort to buy the bankrupt Camino Real chain but continued to open new hotels.

It entered the South American market in 1998 by purchasing three Caesar Park hotels in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo, and taking operation of a fourth in Fortaleza, Brazil, for $122.7 million from Grupo Aoki, a Japanese investment group. “Caesar Park is the most recognized luxury brand in Brazil,” Azcarraga told Megan Rowe of Lodging Hospitality the following year.

“That’s one of the important reasons why we bought it.” He hoped to expand the chain to other Latin American capitals through a combination of joint ventures and management contracts. Soon after, Grupo Posadas introduced the Caesar Business brand for the mid-level business traveler.

• The first two were constructed in Sao Paulo as part of a joint venture with Brazilian real estate firm Inpar Construcoes e Empreendimientos Imobiliarios.
• Because of economic woes in both Brazil and Argentina, the South American units were bringing in less than 10 percent of Grupo Posadas’ total revenue in 2002.

Occupation of hotel rooms in the Caesar chains was running at only 45 percent nightly. Grupo Posadas launched yet another brand, Explorean, in 1998. Aimed at the adventure traveler seeking luxury as well as exoticism, the first Explorean, a 40-room hotel in a densely tropical-forested area of Yucatan near the seldom-visited Mayan ruin of Kohunlich, offered a range of activities in addition to the usual swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving that attracted visitors to the area.

Guests were able to observe native wildlife such as pumas, jaguars, toucans, and spider monkeys, explore deep wells, and take jungle walks. A second, 80-room Explorean opened at Costa Maya in 2000. Grupo Posadas hoped to expand the chain to other Central American sites with significant historic or environmental features.

In 1999 Fiesta Americana introduced a new category of service called Fiesta Americana Grand. This class of hotel was designed especially for the traveler or tourist who, according to the company, was seeking luxury, comfort, and elegance combined in perfect harmony.

1. Another 1999 innovation was the establishment of Club Vacacional (Vacation Club), a time-sharing scheme being developed at Cancun and Los Cabos beach properties in alliance with Hilton Grand Vacation Club and Resort Condominiums International.
2. Immediately following the destruction of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City in September 2001, the number of foreign guests in Grupo Posadas hotels fell by more than 65 percent.

The company kept afloat with heavy promotions directed at the Mexican market. It closed the year with a 4 percent drop in revenues and a 38 percent fall in profits. The ensuing winter went well because, like foreigners, Mexicans were not much inclined to leave their country.

• Grupo Posadas in 2002 At the end of 2002 Grupo Posadas was operating 71 hotels with 13,837 rooms, making it the fourth largest hotel operator in Latin America and the largest in Mexico, where there were 57.
• Thirty-four were owned by the company, either exclusively or in partnership with others; 26 were the property of others and administered by the company; and 11 were leased.

Grupo Posadas had 19 Fiesta Americana hotels (including three Grand Fiesta Americanas) and 35 Fiesta Inns in Mexico. Some Fiesta Americanas were in coastal resorts, while the remainder were urban properties. The resorts tended to draw about two-thirds of their business from the United States; the urban ones mainly served Mexican business travelers.

1. All Fiesta Inns were of new (post-1992) construction.
2. Competitive with such U.S.-based hotels chains as Courtyard and Hampton Inn, they were also aimed primarily at the Mexican business trav- eler.
3. Those located in large metropolitan areas were placed in the suburbs rather than the center.
4. The five Caesar Park and two Caesar Business hotels were in Brazil, except for the Caesar Park Buenos Aires.

In addition to the two Exploreans, Grupo Posadas owned and operated the Aeropuerto Plaza in Mexico City and administered a Holiday Inn in Merida. The group owned and operated four hotels in Texas and managed two others. Four of the six were under the Holiday Inn name; another was a Sheraton Fiesta, and the sixth was a Residence Inn.

Grupo Posadas was renting rooms through a web of links that included its own online sites and call centers and also through intermediaries such as travel agencies; wholesalers of hotel rooms; event organizers; global reservation systems such as Apollo, Galileo, and Sabre; and agreements with large enterprises.

The company’s publicity efforts included television advertising and programs such as Fiesta Rewards for frequent guests. Intermediaries were taking some 30 percent to 40 percent of the retail cost as commissions. Dependence on wholesalers was particularly expensive, but in high season a beach-resort hotel might receive 60 to 80 percent of its guests by means of an all-expense package from Mexicana Airlines or Apple Vacations, giving them the leverage to make or break a hotel.

1. Mexicana was flying 400,000 passengers a year-mainly Mexicans-to Grupo Posadas’ hotels.
2. In order to avoid its dependence on intermediaries, Grupo Posadas had introduced toll-free calls at reservation centers and was offering two vacation packages: Fiesta Break for the foreign market and Days of Fiesta for the Mexican market.

Fiesta Rewards was a frequent-visitor program with more than 800,000 members qualifying for such benefits as preferential prices. These efforts accounted for about 30 percent of all Fiesta Americana and Fiesta Inn rooms sold. The company’s parallel effort in the United States was tied to the reservation systems of Holiday Inn and others.

Some 40 percent of the shares of Grupo Posadas were being quoted on Mexico City’s stock exchange in 2002, with Banco Nacional de Mexico (Banamex) the principal public stockholder. Banamex also had extended the company a $50 million credit line. But Grupo Posadas’ major source of growth had come from the investors who had bought 47 percent of the rooms in its hotels.

This kind of investment had enabled Grupo Posadas to expand without incurring major debt. Of the 31 hotels under development in 2002 at a cost of $149 million, Grupo Posadas was putting up only $4 million. The company reported revenue of 3.83 billion pesos ($366.02 million) and operating profit of 72.1 million pesos ($6.89 million) in 2002.

When was Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta built?

For a resort nearing its 40th year in operation, the Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta is looking good. It was evident from the moment I checked in and gazed upward at the lobby’s piece de resistance: a soaring palapa thatched roof (the second largest in Puerto Vallarta, I was told), which has been a trademark of the resort since its opening in 1980.

Angel Sanchez, the resort’s social media manager, told me during a property tour that the palapa was painstakingly rebuilt about four years ago. Apparently Gaston Azcarraga Tamayo, founder of parent company Grupo Posadas, is a big fan, and thus there was practically no chance that the rebuilt roof would use an alternative material that would be easier to install and maintain.

That roof came to encapsulate my feelings about the Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta, a property that has stayed true to its roots. After all, those looking for a more contemporary vibe in Puerto Vallarta certainly have options: for example, Grupo Posadas’ very own, adults-only Grand Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta, which opened in 2015 about a half-hour drive south.

1. Still, the 291-room Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta is not some stuck-in-time relic.
2. Along with general repairs and upkeep, the property continually rolls out upgrades to offer guests the expected modern amenities.
3. For example, the property started life as a European Plan property before switching to an all-inclusive model in 2013, and today, guests have access to five a la carte restaurants.

I had dinner at the Italian venue, L’Isola, on my first night, sampling grilled shrimp wrapped in prosciutto. The next night I dined at Tiantang, which serves Thai, Indian and Chinese dishes as well as sushi. I opted for shrimp pad thai and a spicy tuna roll.

• Breakfast was at the recently renovated Chulavista, an international/Mexican buffet venue, perfect for those guests who might want pozole along with pancakes or a side of chilaquiles with their corn flakes (I’m among them).
• A lunch highlight was the beachfront La Cevicheria, which in addition to its namesake ceviches serves grilled items and Mexican seafood classics.

I ordered Baja-style shrimp tacos and, as a suite guest, was entitled to seating closest to the beach. (This might not be ideal for those who’d rather avoid sales pitches from the souvenir vendors walking past, though most of them weren’t especially pushy.) The living room of one of the resort’s presidential suites, which can accommodate up to six guests. Photo Credit: TW Photo by Eric Moya Of course, I could have opted for 24-hour room service in my presidential suite, measuring nearly 2,600 square feet and featuring two bathrooms; a living room with widescreen TV; a bedroom with an exceptionally comfortable, king-size bed (and another widescreen TV); and enough balcony space to rival many standard guestrooms.

• The suite can be furnished with rollaway beds to accommodate up to six guests.
• It was a lot of space for one guest, but I did try to make the most of it, having lunch one afternoon at the eight-seat alfresco dining table offering views of old Puerto Vallarta and the Bay of Banderas.
• At night, the suite’s heavy, engraved wood doors and thick stucco walls no doubt helped to keep noise to a minimum; in fact, I can’t recall hearing much of anything save for the crashing waves nine stories below.

Similarly serene is the Nakawe Spa, where I enjoyed an hourlong deep-tissue massage. Facilities include seven treatment rooms (including a couples room with private hot tub), a sauna and a relaxation pool. The relaxation pool at the Nakawe Spa at the Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta. In my suite and elsewhere on property, I was pleasantly surprised by the robust WiFi. According to Sanchez, it was upgraded this year to accommodate the demands of video streaming and smart TVs.

During my hosted weekend stay, I was able to download huge photos and log on to the servers at Travel Weekly to edit some articles — I hope your clients are considerably less productive, but I imagine Netflix will work fine.) Another nod to the modern vacationer is the rooftop Sonne Club, where guests can enjoy specialty cocktails and other refreshments while taking in bay views from the infinity pool or one of nine cabanas, which are equipped with daybeds, 42-inch flat-screen TVs and minibars.

Access to the Sonne Club is complimentary for guests of the eighth and ninth floors, while other guests can pay about $10 for admission. The Sonne Club was part of a recent round of renovations, but the work continues. According to a Fiesta Americana representative, the property recently completed refurbs to rooms on the seventh and eighth floors, and renovations of ninth-floor guestrooms are underway; lobby renovations will follow soon thereafter.

1. It’s all business as usual for this property, where continual improvements are key to keeping up with Puerto Vallarta’s evolving hotel scene.
2. Sanchez told me that about a third of the resort’s clientele are return guests, some of whom stay there two or three times a year.
3. That sort of loyalty leads me to believe that whatever hospitality trends make their way to Puerto Vallarta, there will always be a place for the Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta, thanks to its solid foundation — and the palapa overhead.

The Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta is a quick drive from the airport (my ride took less than 10 minutes in Friday night traffic) and about two miles from downtown Puerto Vallarta (cab rides averaged about $6). Standard rooms start at $180 per night; presidential suites start at $450 per night.

Do Egyptians own the Ritz?

The Ritz Paris has a storied history, The hotel, which opened in 1898, counts royalty, celebrities, and other famed personalities amongst its guests. Built by Swiss hotelier César Ritz, ownership of the iconic institution passed to his son, Charles Ritz, and then upon Charles’s death in 1976, his widow, Monique Ritz, took over.

• Yet, Monique’s tenure as owner did not last long: In 1979, Egyptian businessman Mohamed Al Fayed purchased the hotel for $20 million.
• Al Fayed is perhaps best known as the father of Dodi al-Fayed, the boyfriend of Princess Diana who perished alongside the Princess of Wales in the August 1997 car crash in Paris—Diana and Dodi spent the evening in the Ritz Paris the night before their death.

“When I bought the Ritz, I had in mind to refurbish the hotel in César Ritz’s image—to do things here that would excite me and at the same time make Monsieur Ritz proud of his place if he were to see it today. It took us years, but I’m sure we brought a smile to Monsieur Ritz’s face.

1. It was a joyful experience,” Fayed told Vanity Fair,
2. Season five of The Crown features this sale of the Ritz Paris by Monique Ritz (portrayed by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu ) to Mohamad al-Fayed (portrayed by Salim Daw), with the fictional Mohamad giving a stirring speech about discrimination to Monique in an argument for why his bid for the Ritz should win.

The show depicts Mohamad making the purchase made with his brothers, Ali Al Fayed and Salah Al Fayed. In real life, the brothers all did, in fact, buy the Ritz together. In addition, a few years later, the Fayed brothers purchased luxury department store Harrods together.

We were brought up together and did everything together,” Mohamad told the New York Times in 1985. On top of the $20 million price tag, the Fayed family soon poured money into a renovation. “Mr. Fayed provided $50 million for the restoration and renovation of the Ritz,” Frank Klein, who Fayed installed as managing director, explained.

“The rooms were all restored to their old elegance, the bars completely refurbished—the Little Bar became the Hemingway Bar. The restaurants were given a new look, and a swimming pool, health club, and spas were created in the basement. The Ritz once again became the Ritz.” In 2012, the famed hotel shut down for renovations.

“Closing down the hotel was not an easy decision to make, but it was necessary to maintain the pre-eminent position of the Ritz Paris,” Fayed explained at the time, It reopened in 2016. “The new Ritz Paris remains the same as the old Ritz Paris but in a better version,” he said. In 2019, he stepped down as chairman of the hotel.

“After decades of continuous involvement, Mr Al-Fayed has decided it was time to pass his duties as chairman,” a statement from the Ritz Paris said; however, as of 2022, Al Fayed, now 93, still owns the Ritz.

Who owns 100% of the Ritz Carlton Hotel Company LLC?

History In the United States, The Ritz-Carlton Investing Company was established by Albert Keller who bought and franchised the name. In the early 1900s, several hotels were known as The Ritz-Carlton, in places such as Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlantic City and Boca Raton.

• However, by 1940 none of the hotels were operating except The Ritz-Carlton, Boston.
• The hotel embodies the finest luxury experience, Yankee ingenuity and Boston social sensibilities.
• The standards of service, dining and facilities of this Boston landmark served as a benchmark for all future Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts worldwide.

The Ritz-Carlton, Boston revolutionized hospitality in America by creating luxury in a hotel setting:

Private bath in each guest room Lighter fabrics in the guest room to allow for more thorough washing White tie and apron uniforms for the waitstaff, black tie for the Maître d’ and morning suits for all other staff, conducive to a formal, professional appearance Extensive fresh flowers throughout the public areas A la carte dining, providing choices for diners Gourmet cuisine, utilizing the genius and cooking methods of Auguste Escoffier Intimate, smaller lobbies for a more personalized guest experience

In 1983, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC was formed. Led by president and founding father, Colgate Holmes, alongside Horst Schulze, Joe Freni, Ed Staros and Herve Humler, the company began to expand, adding new properties across the United States.

Within two years, the brand had opened five hotels, including The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead, The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta, The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel and The Ritz-Carlton, Naples. This rapid expansion continued, and by the close of 1992, The Ritz-Carlton had expanded to 23 exceptional luxury hotels, earning its first Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.

The following year, they opened their first hotel in Asia, The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong. In 1998, the success of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company had attracted the attention of the hospitality industry, and the brand was purchased by Marriott International.

Since this purchase, The Ritz-Carlton has continued to grow, providing exceptional service and genuine care to their guests across the globe. In 2000, The Ritz-Carlton Residences opened their first property in Washington, D.C., followed by their first Destination Club property, Aspen Highlands, Colorado in 2001.

In addition to dozens of new hotels around the globe, in 2008 the company opened the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve property, offering a private sanctuary experience in Phulay Bay, Krabi, Thailand. Today, the company continues to grow and to inspire life’s most meaningful journeys in the most desirable destinations on earth.
