As part of its development, Constance Hotels and Resorts is pleased to announce that they have recently confirmed a joint venture partnership with Baglioni Hotels giving them the opportunity to "recommend" more choices to today's sophisticated traveller.

Over the last four decades, Constance Hotels and Resorts has been known for conceptualising, developing and operating exclusive hotels and resorts within the Indian Ocean (Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives and Madagascar). To date, the hotel group has a total of seven luxury hotels and resorts and a growing list of projects in the pipeline.

The Constance Hotels & Resorts brand has two distinctive collections:

• Unique Resorts foster guests' desire for freedom, for getting away and for living rare moments. Constance Belle Mare Plage, Constance Ephélia, Constance Moofushi and Constance Tsarabanjina are part of the Unique brand.

• Ultimate Hotels are more luxury oriented and invite guests to experience true luxury expressed in exacting detail. Constance Le Prince Maurice, Constance Lémuria and Constance Halaveli are part of the Ultimate brand.

These two categories allow guests to more easily identify themselves in either one or the other category and therefore ease their choice based on their profile and budget or on any particular search fields.

Baglioni Hotels, celebrating this year its 40th anniversary, has developed a Collection of 10 exclusive hotels and a residence, most of which are situated in palazzos in Italy's main cities: six in Italy (Milan, Venice, Florence, Punta Ala and Rome), three in France (Aix-en-Provence, Champillon Epernay, Saint Paul de Vence) and one established in March 2004 in the UK, in the heart of London.

The two groups share the same concept as far as their core values are concerned, Baglioni Hotels offers "Unforgettable Experiences, Uniqueness, Italian hospitality" and Constance Hotels and Resorts is "Inspired by Passion" putting guests at the heart of all their developments.

The partnership between these two companies which both share the passion for hospitality by promoting unique experiences in elegant locations and extraordinary sites, will benefit our respective guests by providing them with loyalty advantages during their stay in the hotels.

Jean Jacques Vallet, Chief Executive Officer of Constance Hotels and Resorts says

"We are delighted to have contracted this partnership with Baglioni Hotels. We are confident that this will be beneficial to both parties and their shared guests".
