3rd March 2025: ONYX Hospitality Group, the prominent management company in Southeast Asia specialising in hotels and resorts, serviced apartments and luxury residences, is excited to participate in ITB Berlin 2025, one of the world’s most influential travel trade shows, taking place from 4th – 6th March 2025 at Berlin ExpoCenter City, Germany.
After navigating the challenges of the pandemic, ONYX Hospitality Group is firmly back on track and poised for continued success. Amari, one of the key brands within ONYX Hospitality Group's portfolio, has long been synonymous with warm, authentic Asian hospitality and has experienced remarkable growth in recent years. In 2023, Amari’s revenue surpassed pre-COVID levels by an impressive 16%, marking a full recovery. Building on this momentum, 2024 saw an outstanding 19% year-on-year revenue increase, a testament to the brand’s strength and market appeal. Looking ahead, ONYX is confidently targeting an additional 15% growth in 2025, driven by the ethos of “a tailored approach to hospitality” that prioritises guest-centric experiences, operational excellence, and strategic market positioning.
In addition to celebrating its strong growth, ONYX Hospitality Group will use ITB Berlin as a platform to showcase its expanding portfolio of leisure-focused hotels and resorts, along with key developments and exciting new openings in Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Laos.
Yuthachai Charanachitta, CEO of ONYX Hospitality Group comments: " ITB Berlin is the perfect stage to showcase our expanding hotel portfolio to the European market. With our newest properties in Sri Lanka, Laos, and Thailand, we are strengthening our presence in some of Asia’s most sought-after leisure destinations. We look forward to connecting with global travel professionals, reinforcing our commitment to hospitality excellence, and sharing the exciting developments shaping the future of ONYX Hospitality Group."
ONYX Hospitality Group continues its dynamic growth with several high-profile and impactful recent and upcoming openings, including:
Amari Colombo, Sri Lanka (opened December 2024): A sophisticated urban retreat in Sri Lanka’s bustling capital, offering 167 spacious rooms for both leisure and business travellers. Key highlights include a stunning rooftop pool with panoramic city views, dynamic dining options, and several bars and lounges. The hotel offers an upscale experience while allowing guests to connect with the island’s cultural roots. Its prime location provides easy access to both the city's business and leisure attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring Sri Lanka’s diverse culture, stunning landscapes, and hidden gems.
Amari Vientiane, Laos (opening 1 March 2025): Set along the Mekong River, this elegant hotel blends modern Lao and Thai styles seamlessly, offering guests elegantly designed spaces with warm hospitality. Just 4.8 km from Wattay International Airport and steps away from the city’s diverse attractions — including temples, monuments, vibrant café, and handicraft shops — Amari Vientiane is a haven for both business and leisure travellers - enabling guests to immerse in local culture while serving as the perfect escape. The hotel features 248 stylish rooms and suites, a rooftop restaurant, the signature Breeze Spa, and the highest executive club lounge in the capital.
Amari The Tide Bangsaen, Thailand (opening May 2025): A contemporary beachfront retreat in Chonburi Province, Amari The Tide Bangsaen redefines seaside elegance. Located in Eastern Thailand, the region has seen steady expansion in recent years, driven by infrastructure development to support tourism and its capacity to host major international events. This makes Amari The Tide Bangsaen an appealing destination for both Thai and international tourists seeking beachfront accommodation just over an hour’s drive from Bangkok and 45 minutes from Pattaya. Bangsaen also offers quick access to key tourist attractions, as well as popular local shops and restaurants, all just minutes away. The hotel features 154 stylish rooms and suites with easy access to vibrant dining and a tranquil coastal ambiance.
The exceptional collection of resort properties will be showcased at ITB Berlin 2025, featuring some of Thailand’s most sought-after beachside retreats - Amari Phuket, Amari Koh Samui, which has just unveiled a stunning new pool, further enhancing its reputation for excellence, as well as Amari Pattaya and Amari Vogue Krabi. Renowned for its personalised warmth, heartfelt hospitality, and dedication to elevating every guest experience, the Amari brand seamlessly blends modern elegance with authentic Thai charm, creating a perfect balance of contemporary luxury and rich cultural heritage.
OZO properties to be showcased include OZO Chaweng Samui, OZO North Pattaya, and OZO Kata Phuket, each situated in vibrant and sought-after Thai destinations. Designed for modern, on-the-go travellers, OZO is the happiness hotspot that unpacks good vibes and redefines the Upper middle scale hotel experience with a vibrant, youthful energy. With a focus on smart design, great sleep, and an effortless guest experience, OZO hotels provide the perfect base for guests to explore, recharge, and feel a true connection to the local area.
Beyond Thailand, ONYX Hospitality Group will highlight its portfolio of Malaysian properties, including Amari SPICE Penang and Amari Kuala Lumpur. Both dynamic city hotels, strategically located in well-connected urban centres, these properties serve as thriving hubs for business and leisure travellers alike, offering a compelling contrast to ONYX’s Thai beach resorts, while still embodying the signature warmth and hospitality of the Amari brand.
With strong performance and an optimistic outlook, ONYX Hospitality Group is poised for continued success in the years to come.
