In a strategic move marking its first venture outside Greece, The Azur Selection, a prominent Greek real estate investment company, has announced the acquisition of three distinguished hotels in Cannes, France. This expansion not only signifies The Azur Selection’s growth in the hospitality sector but also its entry into the French market.
The acquisition encompasses a complete takeover of the share capital of Hôtels Du Groupe Boucau, which includes Hotel Cezanne Cannes, Hotel Renoir Cannes, and Hotel Verlaine Cannes. This trio of hotels represents a significant addition to The Azur Selection’s portfolio, further solidifying its position in the luxury hospitality space.
Hotel Cezanne Cannes: A boutique hotel offering 29 rooms and suites, Hotel Cezanne boasts a fitness room and Terraké SPA, which includes a whirlpool, Hammam, and various treatments, catering to guests seeking relaxation and wellness.
Hotel Renoir Cannes: Known for its luxury accommodations, Hotel Renoir provides a range of double rooms varying in size from 20m² to 50m², along with breakfast, bar, and internet facilities, ensuring a comfortable and connected stay for its guests.
Hotel Verlaine Cannes: This four-star boutique hotel features 46 rooms across two buildings, offering a wide array of amenities designed to meet the needs of modern travelers.
Georges Arvanitakis, Chairman of The Azur Selection, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “We are reaching a significant milestone in our company’s growth journey by preparing to acquire three prestigious hotels in Cannes. This acquisition aligns perfectly with our vision to offer unparalleled experiences and create lasting memories for our guests.”
The acquisition will be financed through a bank loan, demonstrating The Azur Selection's commitment and confidence in this expansion. This move follows the company’s recent acquisition of Azur Volos and Azur Meganisi in Greece last December, showcasing a continuous growth trajectory.
With a diverse portfolio that includes Azur Boutique Hotel, MyMall Mykonos, and Livin Mykonos Boutique Hotel, among others, The Azur Selection is poised to make a significant impact on the French hospitality market, bringing its expertise and vision for luxury and memorable guest experiences to Cannes.

As Goa transforms into a lush green paradise during the monsoon, Ronil Goa – A JdV by Hyatt Hotel is inviting travellers to discover a different side of the destination through its "Beyond the Room" philosophy. Positioned in the heart of North Goa, the lifestyle boutique resort is encouraging guests to embrace slower days, meaningful experiences, and the simple pleasures that define the state's green season.
While Goa is often associated with bustling beaches and peak-season energy, the monsoon months offer a more relaxed and authentic experience. With fewer crowds, cooler weather, and landscapes painted in vibrant shades of green, the season creates the perfect backdrop for travellers seeking a refreshing escape.
Located along the popular Calangute-Baga Road, Ronil Goa has designed its monsoon offering around comfort, connection, and unhurried experiences. Rather than focusing solely on accommodation, the hotel extends its hospitality through thoughtfully curated spaces, wellness experiences, dining concepts, and social interactions that encourage guests to immerse themselves in the destination.
The experience begins with a warm welcome at Patrão's, where guests are greeted with a signature arrival shot. Throughout the stay, visitors can choose between the lively atmosphere of the Hub Pool, complete with a swim-up bar, or the more relaxed setting of the Tranquil Pool, inspired by Art Deco aesthetics and designed for peaceful moments of relaxation.
For guests looking to unwind further, The Spa at Ronil Goa offers a selection of therapies aimed at helping travellers recharge while enjoying the soothing ambience created by the monsoon season.
Dining remains a key part of the resort experience. Mornings begin with leisurely breakfasts at Ronil Bistro, while the all-day menu features a blend of comfort food and contemporary favourites. Guests can enjoy wood-fired pizzas, grilled specialities, and a variety of dishes designed to complement relaxed holiday moods. Whether gathering for a casual meal, enjoying a quiet drink, or spending an evening with friends, the hotel's dining venues are designed to encourage social connections and memorable moments.
As the day transitions into evening, the atmosphere takes on a more vibrant character. Live music, cocktails, karaoke sessions at The Loft, and poolside gatherings create opportunities for guests to relax and connect in an informal setting. The hotel's rooms and suites, many featuring private balconies and interconnecting options, cater equally well to couples, families, and groups of friends.
Adding further value to the monsoon experience, the resort is offering an exclusive World of Hyatt Member Bed and Breakfast package available through Hyatt's official channels. The offer includes daily breakfast, 20 percent savings on food and soft beverages across hotel venues, 10 percent savings on alcohol, and 15 percent savings on spa rituals lasting 60 minutes or longer.
The package has been designed to encourage guests to make the most of their stay, whether through culinary experiences, wellness treatments, or simply spending additional time enjoying the relaxed pace of the season.
Originally established in 1987 as Ronil Beach Resort, the property entered a new chapter in December 2023 when it was reintroduced as Ronil Goa under Hyatt's lifestyle-focused JdV by Hyatt brand. Today, the resort features 135 rooms with private balconies, Indo-Portuguese-inspired design elements, wellness facilities, multiple dining venues, and vibrant social spaces that reflect the warmth and character of Goan hospitality.
As monsoon travel continues to gain popularity among travellers seeking quieter and more immersive experiences, Ronil Goa aims to position itself as a destination where guests can enjoy Goa at a slower pace, focusing on meaningful moments rather than packed itineraries.

The Anam Cam Ranh has introduced a unique immersive wellness experience titled “From Husk to Health,” allowing guests to witness and participate in coconut harvesting directly within the resort grounds.
Unlike conventional luxury hospitality experiences where beverages are prepared behind a bar, the resort brings the origin of the drink into view, starting from the coconut trees themselves.
Held every Thursday from 10–11 am at the entrance of the resort’s wellness and recreation precinct, the experience sees gardeners climb coconut palms to harvest mature coconuts in front of guests. Visitors are then guided through the process of trimming, opening, and understanding different stages of coconut growth.
Guests are introduced to how coconuts mature, how ripeness affects flavour and texture, and why younger coconuts tend to produce sweeter water while mature ones offer richer flesh. The freshly opened coconuts are served immediately, offering naturally hydrating water rich in electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium, along with nutrient-dense coconut meat.
Speaking about the initiative, Laurent Myter, Group General Manager of The Anam Group, said, “A freshly harvested coconut, in my opinion, resonates more than a glass of champagne. We have received great feedback from our guests about this simple yet authentic experience. Learning the story behind the humble coconut further connects you to Vietnam’s remarkable landscape.”
The experience is part of the resort’s broader wellness and recreation ecosystem, which includes an organic farm, mini-golf course, sports facilities, and curated farm-to-table dining experiences.
Ingredients from the resort’s farm are actively integrated into its culinary offerings across restaurants, with herbs, vegetables, and fruits used in both Vietnamese and international dishes, as well as in signature cocktails.
The initiative reflects The Anam Cam Ranh’s growing focus on immersive, nature-connected luxury experiences that blend wellness, education, and sustainability within hospitality
