Gavin M Faull, Swiss-Belhotel International chairman and president, said: "Swiss-Belresort Ghantoot is a prized addition to our portfolio. It is a wonderful, venerable property.

"Swiss-Belhotel International is in the midst of an exciting period of growth in the Middle East, with three more hotels set to be launched before the end of next year. And our growing footprint there is matched by our global progress."

Based on Hong Kong, Swiss-Belhotel International has said it will unveil 20 hotels globally before the end of 2014.
