Anglo-Iraqi billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi is a business man in command of a considerable empire. His multinational company, General Mediterranean Holding (GMH), which employs over 6,000 people in dozens of companies and is now worth more than $ 1.8 billion.

Born June 11, 1937 in Baghdad, Nadhmi Auchi founded in 1979, Luxembourg, the GMH, which in a quarter century, has taken hold in the four corners of the globe. Like all multinationals, GMH has multiplied its addresses in major European capitals and in tax havens in the Caribbean (Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Netherlands Antilles, Panama).

The holding company has built its fortune in rural finance, banking, real estate and hospitality. Nadhmi Auchi is, for example, one of the largest private shareholders in BNP Paribas. Before the merger of two banks, he had 7% of Paribas and above 30% of its Luxembourg subsidiary.

In Lebanon, the GMH's investments are currently concentrated on the Royal Hotel and Waterpark Watergate Dbayeh. However, since June 2002, the holding company also owns land in downtown Beirut in the district of Minet el-Hosn which will soon be building a new Hilton (just beyond the old Hilton, who will be rebuilt, but will not teach this).

Opened August 8, 2003 before all the Lebanese dish, Le Royal is the fifth Dbayeh establishment of this chain of hotels, after Luxembourg, Hammamet (Tunisia), Tangier (Morocco), Amman, and projects in London and Luxor currently under study.

Dbayeh Why?

"This first of August, after the inauguration, was already a success. Royal posted an occupancy rate of 100%. The clientele was mainly composed of nationals of the Gulf countries including members of royal families, Europeans of Lebanese descent and some Westerners, "said Georges Aoun, head of public relations for the hotel.

The Royal wanted to actually bring many strengths to his side. In addition to its high-tech equipment, the establishment relies heavily on the quality of its services and professionalism of its staff. It is also the only hotel in Lebanon to be a member of the prestigious "Leading Hotels of the World."

In addition, the hotel is to take advantage of its location, while some saw it as a handicap, not being at the heart of a tourist area. "The site is calm and quiet, offers a splendid view over the sea But we at the same time the advantage of being close to Beirut, Faraya or Jounieh. Some customers prefer to be behind the downtown areas. Dbayeh be ideal for them, "said Aoun. Who does not cite another future asset: the cable that will bring clients to the coastline opposite.

For these customers as well as others, the hotel will still offer a self-sufficiency through a comprehensive set of benefits. For example, the fitness center, spa which boasts a wealth of services: boutique cosmetics, medical center, restaurant, swimming pool, Turkish bath, ground squash, aerobics rooms and fitness center. All this spread over three floors and an area of 3500 m2. "It is the customer who will make his choice in this competitive market. For us to be among the best, "said Aoun.

The water park, Watergate, located behind the hotel, is another showcase of Leisure Hills. Opened in the summer of 2002, the park has had good success with peaks of 1,000 people per day. With an investment of $ 17 million, Watergate offers modern amenities including a wave pool of 1250 m2, slides 150 m long. And an original formula, whereby consumption of the customer are charged the amount of a bond posted at the entrance.

"We are confident"

Royal has also offered gourmet quality structures: a restaurant, Azure, for the French international cuisine upmarket, top floor of the hotel with a panoramic view. Then, the crustaceans, it Capricio and Sombrero (fish cuisines, Italian and Mexican) located in a "food court". Which must be added the Titanic (piano bar), the Vienna Café and Pool Bar. An oriental restaurant has also recently been launched, while the Elysium nightclub will soon open its doors.

"The beginnings are well aligned with our expectations. We arrive at the occupancy rate of 70% on Fridays and Saturdays the restaurant Azure. But we must still wait several months to take stock, "says Michel Claustre, Executive Chef of the hotel.

However, restaurants, as in other hotels can not only work with clients of Royal. "We are also targeting local customers. We know that there is strong competition in that environment, but we will try to impose ourselves by offering a modern kitchen and quality, "says Claustre.

In the future, the strategy would be to organize a "food festival" with renowned French chefs to promote the hotel and strengthen the identity of its restaurants.

Leisure Hills, which cost about $ 140 million, actually strengthens the image of the tourist future of Lebanon. "We're very confident. The figures prove there are more and more visitors to the country, which is gradually returning to its place of tourist attraction in the Middle East, "said Aoun. However, the Royal arrives in a market of luxury hotels which already has 15 facilities 5 stars, including 13 in Greater Beirut (see table). "Competition is healthy and beneficial. This encourages us to continuously improve. It's perfect for us and the customer, "says Aoun.
