Hong Kong-based Great Eagle Group, owner of Delta Chelsea Hotel in Toronto, Canada, will assume management of the 1,590-room property under its subsidiary Langham Hospitality Group. Starting 1 July 2013, the landmark hotel will be rebranded The Chelsea Toronto. Ideally located near the central business district, shopping centres, theatres, art galleries,
and well-renowned medical facilities, the upscale property will be the first Langham Hospitality Group hotel in Canada.
Having recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation that includes all hotel corridors, selected guest rooms and the Market Garden restaurant, this latest addition to the group's global brand portfolio features well-appointed guestrooms and suites, more than 23,000 square feet of meeting space, a variety of dining options, an adults-only indoor swimming pool and fitness centre, and family-oriented leisure facilities such as Toronto's only indoor four-storey waterslide, and a Kids' Centre.
"Having been in the city of Toronto since 1996 with the acquisition of this landmark hotel, we are looking forward to manage The Chelsea next summer," says Chief Executive Officer Brett Butcher. "Our group's relationship and association with Delta Hotels and Resorts have proven to be both positive and productive, and we look forward to retaining this hotel's premier position in the domestic and international marketplaces."
"All the current employees will continue to be retained by the new management at The Chelsea," says Mr. Butcher. "We are strongly committed to all the colleagues at the hotel and we welcome the existing team to the Langham family."
