sbe, the leading international hospitality group that develops, manages and operates award-winning brands, today announced the expansion of the international SLS Hotels & Residences brand to Mexico with the opening of SLS Cancun located in the heart of Novo Cancun. Developed in partnership with the Related Group – along with leading Mexican developers Inmobilia and U-Calli – the new property marks the sixth SLS hotel, with 17 additional properties planned globally, including SLS Dubai and SLS Puerto Madero. The property is one of eleven projects sbe has developed with its valued long-term partner the Related Group and its CEO and Founder, Jorge M. Perez.
"We look forward to launching this exceptional property in partnership with Related Group and Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe to deliver the unmatched quality and style of the SLS name to one of the world's most luxurious tropical getaways," said Chadi Farhat, sbe's Chief Operating Officer. "The exciting opening of SLS Cancun will establish a new luxury and leisure retreat in yet another world-class destination and guests will enjoy the innovative, experiential, and stylish amenities they have come to expect from the premier SLS portfolio."
"SLS Cancun is the result of organizations at the pinnacle of their respective industries working towards a single collective vision," said Jon Paul Pérez, President of Related Group. "With one of the world's most stunning destinations as its backdrop, SLS Cancun offers world-class design, unmatched lifestyle offerings and bespoke services leagues beyond any of its competitors. The property ushers in a new era for hospitality in the region and we couldn't be any prouder to have been a part of this incredible team." SLS Cancun will open as an evocative, restorative, and experience-driven tropical retreat on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The 45-room property, designed in the sophisticated and elegant Italian style of Piero Lissoni and set against the breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, will boast a master-planned community focused on recreation and restoration. World-class hotel operator Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe will oversee the property."
"SLS Cancun takes one of the world's great getaways and pushes it to the next level," said Carlos Ancira, Chairman & President at Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe. "No matter whether guests are looking to relax on the white-sand beaches, enjoy the diverse shopping options or something else entirely, SLS Cancun offers something for everyone."
The introduction of the SLS brand to Mexico follows Accor's global expansion of its luxury and premium lifestyle portfolio as part of its recent acquisition of sbe's hotel brands. The property will be part of the ALL Accor Live Limitless Loyalty program, guests will be able to earn and redeem points when staying at the hotel.
Key features and amenities include 250 meters of beachfront, a beach club and marina, an 18-hole Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course, over 100 stores and boutiques, 16 cinemas, and now the unmatched wellness services of SLS Hotels. Ciel Spa's expert specialists will provide unparalleled luxury spa treatments, including endermologie, massages, and anti-aging facials, across its four indoor and outdoor treatment rooms. Guests will also enjoy renowned Chef Jose Icardi's imaginative Argentinian fusion cuisine at Leynia, one of the property's innovative culinary offerings. Guests will have acess to the property's Lincoln house car program which offers Lincoln Navigators for transportation to and from locations in close proximity to the hotel. This marks sbe and Accor's first international partnership with Lincoln, as the brands collaborate on over 10 properties in the US. The General Manager of the hotel is Veronika Dóra Kecskés, who has joined after tenures at luxury properties including the KASA Hotel Collection, Senses Riviera Maya, Nizuc Resort, and Rosewood Mayakoba.
Architect and designer Piero Lissoni said, "This hotel is like a cocktail. We've incorporated a few different ingredients: mixing the local culture together with that of America and Europe. And we've bound the style of the latter to that of Mexico - the light and the presence of art works, antiques and local craftsmanship dialogue with those of other worlds. And I think we've come up with a cocktail that's particularly interesting."
In addition to the features and amenities, SLS Cancun is committed to safety for their guests and staff. Rapid COVID-19 tests will be available to all guests and will be complimentary for those staying three nights or longer.
SLS has delivered an imaginative lifestyle hospitality experience with unmatched glamour, play, and leisure since 2008. Drawing on Philippe Starck's inimitable design and architecture for the brand's first six iconic properties, SLS has continued to establish new luxury destinations that fuse playful glamour with elegant innovation. Seventeen additional SLS locations are planned across North America, South America, and Asia within the next five years.
