Chiang Mai (Thailand), Bali (Indonesia) and Marrakech (Morocco).
Focussing on expanding within core markets of Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, Movenpick Hotels & Resorts specialises in business and conference hotels, as well as holiday resorts, all reflecting a sense of place and respect for their local communities.

Committed to supporting sustainable environments, Movenpick Hotels & Resorts has become the most Green Globe-certified hotel company in the world.
Movenpick has started an initiative ‘A Kilo of Kindness’ this Ramadan season. The campaign invites people and organisations to donate non-perishable food items, by simply dropping supplies off at the lobbies of participating hotels from 6-30 June 2016. Each property is supporting a special charity that will benefit from the
donated food.
“Giving back to communities remains an important focus for us at Movenpick Hotels & Resorts. Apart from the fact that we are able to involve all our stakeholders in this initiative, it is a genuine feel-good activity that provides so many people – givers and receivers alike – with a smile on the face,” said Andreas Mattmüller, Chief Operating Officer of Movenpick Hotels & Resorts, Middle East and South Asia.
‘A Kilo of Kindness’ forms part of Shine — Movenpick Hotels & Resorts’ global corporate social responsibility programme. Shine’s pillars are
environment, employer and social sustainability, with a special focus on education.
