Sonesta International Hotels Corporation has signed a definitive agreement with AKEN Hotels & Resorts, marking a key step in its global expansion strategy.
The strategic alliance will bring an initial six AKEN properties under the Sonesta umbrella this fall, while additional hotels are expected to follow soon after.
The move, which adds a collection of lifestyle- and wellness-focused properties to Sonesta’s expanding portfolio, represents the hotel company’s targeted push into the high-growth Latin American region.
Headquartered in Miami, AKEN Hotels & Resorts is known for its conscious luxury philosophy that places a strong emphasis on wellness and meaningful travel experiences. The brand operates boutique hotels in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
For guests, the alliance also brings enhanced benefits through the Sonesta Travel Pass loyalty program. Members will be able to earn and redeem points at participating AKEN properties, enjoy exclusive rates, and accelerate their membership status through stays at new regional destinations.
