Hotelivate Expands its Global Presence 

New Offices Announced: Dubai, Middle East and Bangkok, Thailand 

Monday, 5th February 2024: In an exciting and bold move to extend its global reach, Hotelivate proudly announces the  launch of two new offices in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Bangkok, Thailand. These carefully selected locations will  serve as pivotal hubs for Hotelivate’s operations, allowing them to elevate the level of service they provide to their valued  clients in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The Dubai office, strategically situated in the downtown business district,  is poised to meet the ever-evolving demands of the thriving market in the Middle East, including a few unexplored and  exciting markets in regions of Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and even Africa - to name a few. This expansion perfectly aligns  with Hotelivate's vision of tapping into Middle East as a dynamic, commercial and innovation center, elevating their service  offerings and bolstering support to the clients in that region. Similarly, the Bangkok office, situated in bustling Lumphini,  will be dedicated to providing clients with a comprehensive range of services, driving growth and fostering innovation.

“Our  expansion into the Middle East with an office in Dubai as well as into Southeast Asia with a Bangkok office is a  strategic move for Hotelivate. We have during the past six years being doing work in UAE, Oman and Africa and  similarly in South East Asia in Indonesia, Singapore, Philipines and Veitnam without having real boots on the  ground. With this recent move we are doubling down on our efforts in both regions. I am confident that Najmul  in Dubai and Sanaya in Bangkok will ensure that our presence in these markets grow stronger.” 

Manav Thadani, Founder Chairman of Hotelivate

The Middle East office will be headed by Najmul Khan. He has over 27 years of hospitality experience in Corporate Asset  Management, Revenue Distribution and Sales, Feasibility Development and Hotel Pre-Opening and Operations spanning  3 continents across various roles with global hospitality chains and the largest property developers in the Middle East.  Prior to joining Hotelivate, Najmul was the Group Director of Sales, Marketing and Distribution for DAMAC. In this role, he  was responsible for planning and implementing sales, marketing, and brand development strategies, both long and short  term, targeted towards existing and new markets to achieve above market returns for the group’s properties. He was also  in charge of feasibility studies for new locations and markets for upcoming hotels and managing the pre-opening and  launch of new hotels in various locations worldwide. 

“I am thrilled to launch our new office in  Middle East, based out of Dubai, and excited to be servicing the markets around this region that stands as a  beacon of innovation, diversity, and economic growth. I look forward to contributing to and thriving within this  dynamic community as I work towards expanding Hotelivate’s reach in this market”.
