“We are extremely proud to open the first 5-star hotel in Gili Trawangan – Cocana Resort by Social Living Collection™ is the epitome of eco-luxury, where every moment is infused with an essence of sustainability, the joys of barefoot comfort, and the natural beauty of the island. Seeing the resort come to life marks a key moment for SHG’s Sunset Hotels & Resorts, and this marks the first of a strong pipeline of hotels to enrich Indonesia’s hospitality scene,” said Jaime Buxo Clos, CEO of Sunset Hotels & Resorts, SHG.
Gran Hotel La Florida — currently part of The Leading Hotels of the World — is a luxury boutique hotel perched on Tibidabo’s Hill – a 20-minute drive from Barcelona’s city center. SHG has taken over the management of the five-star luxury hotel and it will undergo a refurbishment, to be added to the Social Living CollectionTM, in time for the hotel celebrating its 100-year anniversary in 2025.
