Global Hotel Alliance Unveils New Luxury Hotel Additions Across Top International Destinations

Global Hotel Alliance has created additional international luxury travel network. This has added 22 new hotels and resorts, giving travelers more options in popular and emerging destinations.

The expansion also increases the GHA DISCOVERY loyalty program. Travelers can discover boutique hotels, city hotels, wellness hotels, and luxury hotels in Hong Kong, Barcelona, Vienna, and Prague. The alliance has also expanded operations into Zagreb, Croatia and Rabat, Morocco.

Almanac Hotels, Regal Hotels International, STORY Hotels & Resorts and TemptingPlaces Collection are the new members.

Almanac Hotels Focuses On Local Luxury Experiences

Almanac Hotels brings a boutique luxury approach built around local culture, architecture and design. The family-owned brand operates in some of Europe’s most visited cities. Its hotels sit in central locations and blend modern comfort with the history of each destination.

The company currently operates flagship properties in Barcelona, Vienna and Prague. Each property offers local food experiences, stylish interiors and connections with neighbourhood culture. Travellers who want authentic city stays instead of standard chain hotels may find the brand appealing.

The expansion also helps GHA attract more travellers looking for personalised experiences in Europe’s leading tourism centres.

Regal Hotels Strengthens GHA Presence In Hong Kong

Regal Hotels International adds eleven hotels to the alliance. The company has operated since 1979 and remains one of Asia’s largest hospitality groups. Its brands include Regal, Regala and iclub.

The portfolio delivers more than 6,800 rooms across Hong Kong and nearby markets. The hotels target different travel styles. Some focus on upscale luxury. Others serve younger urban travellers and business guests looking for modern city accommodation.

The expansion gives GHA stronger visibility in Hong Kong, one of Asia’s busiest aviation and tourism hubs. International visitors travelling through Hong Kong can now access wider loyalty rewards and more accommodation choices through the GHA DISCOVERY programme.

STORY Hotels Expands Luxury Travel Across Africa And The Middle East

STORY Hotels & Resorts operates upscale resorts and urban hotels across the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Ocean region. The brand combines luxury accommodation with wellness, dining and destination-focused experiences.

One standout property sits at Beau Vallon Bay in the Seychelles. The resort focuses on sustainability, beachfront relaxation and local cultural experiences. The company also strengthens GHA’s entry into emerging tourism markets such as Rabat.

The addition gives travellers more options beyond traditional European and Asian destinations. Demand for African and Indian Ocean luxury travel continues to grow as international tourists search for less crowded holiday locations.

TemptingPlaces Collection Targets Luxury Lifestyle Travellers

TemptingPlaces Collection adds a collection of independent luxury properties known for elegant design and gastronomy. The brand focuses on personalised stays and unique architecture.

Its portfolio includes Château d’Augerville Golf & Spa Resort in France and Dent Blanche Resort in Switzerland. These properties appeal to travellers searching for quiet luxury, wellness experiences and scenic escapes away from crowded tourist centres.

The addition strengthens GHA’s appeal among high-end leisure travellers who value boutique hospitality and destination-driven travel experiences.

New Luxury Hotel Openings Expand Traveller Choices In 2026

GHA has also expanded through new hotel openings from existing member brands. Since the beginning of 2026, fourteen new hotels and resorts have joined the alliance across different global markets.

Major openings include Capella Kyoto in Kyoto, Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi, Corinthia Rome and Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp. Australia also welcomed the new Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel on the Sunshine Coast.

These additions expand travel options across luxury city breaks, safari tourism and beach holidays.

Travel Guide For GHA DISCOVERY Members

If you’re planning an overseas trip, it might be a good idea to check if the hotels you want to stay at offer the GHA DISCOVERY program. People who sign up receive perks, room improvements, and unique local opportunities with certain hotels.

The alliance network allows European guests to stay in Barcelona, Vienna, and then Prague. They also provide more accommodation options in Hong Kong for visitors in Asia. There are luxury places for the Indian Ocean and Africa in Morocco, the Seychelles, and Zambia.

Before international trips, guests should do their research. They should check government tourism pages for entry information, and immigration sites. There is a huge demand for hotels in Spain, Italy, and Austria during the summer months in Europe. If those are your destinations, booking your accommodations early could secure you better room availability and prices.
