Omni Hotels, the four diamond luxury brand is a hallmark destination in Texas. It is now going to use it advantage of impeccable service and charm to wellness brand hailed as Mokara.
It’s the Watermark Hotel and Spa that will pioneer Omni Hotels’ venture into Wellness segment beginning from 1st April. It goes without saying this venture is to get on the leveled playing field with other luxury brands from the hotel industry. The strategy employed here is rebranding existing ones rather than constructing new structures. I believe it’s the idea to get a faster hold on the Wellness and Spa industry because fresh construction equals to a waiting period. With almost 25 hotels under consideration in urban South and North America, the management has shrewdly refrained from spilling any beans of the exact timetable of expansion.

Australia and the rest of the Asia Pacific lack the kind of luxury markets found in Western Europe. Moreover, there are hardly any real luxury malls or stores, which can compete with the department stores of Mila or Paris. Thus, the Maison JSK is a unique concept store that aims to cater to everything that is luxurious.
Luxury is always relative and in Asia Pacific, it is regarded with two aspects, the exterior face and the moral face, and in Chinese, they are called Mien Tzu and Lien. The exterior face consumes luxurious products in order to climb up the social order, while the Lien climbs up the spiritual ladder. Thus, the Maison JSK is a unique luxury store concept which brings luxury and spirituality together.
