There is a new hotel due to open May/June right on the corner of the night market. Has a pool. It will be the most central hotel with pool when completed. Was called the Mount Phousi hotel but has been demolished for a new hotel. I am told about mid range price so similar to what you are already looking at.

Gary is the new GM. It is at the foot of Mount Phousi and at the southern end of the night market so very central. I can't remember the name but when I see Gary I will forward it onto you. Good idea to give me a reminder in another month. The hotel looks very very nice and I recall him saying to me that prices would be around 120usd but don't hold me to that.

individually-named properties such as The Legian, Bali or The Datai, Langkawi cater to the more affluent traveller, providing unparalleled style and comfort. The Chedi properties are defined by understated elegance while The Serai hotels offer a stylish yet affordable alternative.

The word ‘Chedi’ typically refers to place of meditation. In the same, way, Chedi hotels are created as tranquil settings where on their journeys, travellers rediscover the peace of solitude and stillness amidst environs of beauty.

Chedi Club takes the experience of a Chedi stay to a higher level with more exclusive offerings, personalised service and intimate encounters for a singularly memorable journey.

‘Serai’ is used to describe large inns found along trade routes in central and western Asia. The Serai brand was developed to provide quality accommodation for discerning travellers in a destination with limited luxury offerings. The GHM DNA of design remains a consistent thread in Serai-branded developments.

Ahn Luh is an urban resort brand that epitomises a contemporary China meaningfully influenced by a long history of cultural traditions.

In January this year, GHM once again joined hands with BTG and together with a third partner, Jin He, established a formal partnership to bring The Chedi brand to China, Hong Kong and Macau. The first Chedi in China will be located in the hilly coastal region of Ninghai in China's Zhejiang province, known for its mountainous landscape and scenic beauty.

Said Hans R. Jenni, GHM's co-founder and president, "It has always been our intention to grow The Chedi brand. For China, this is a perfect fit in terms of style, quality and product offering… I am confident that this collaborative partnership will open doors for The Chedi in greater China and beyond."

GHM's focus on partnerships is a strategic management decision given on-going interest by various interested parties to collaborate on a varied range of development projects. "The current emphasis on partnerships is based on an efficient and effective model by which GHM can continue to use its expertise and experience in settings where our partners grant new resources, options and opportunities," explained Jenni. He continues, "This, of course, leads to change: when it came time for GHM to review the management contract for The Legian Bali, given the new area of focus as a company, as well as the deep friendship we have forged with its owners, we decided not to pursue a new term of management under GHM, and are glad that The Legian Bali team will continue to grow what we have started together."
