Dubai-based Chedi Hospitality is evaluating 54 projects across multiple markets as it expands its portfolio of hotels, private residences and safari accommodation. The operator plans to enter Morocco by the end of 2024 and is assessing opportunities in the United States and Latin America.

Morocco Entry and Regional Expansion#

The company has set a target of entering the Morocco market before the close of the current year. The expansion forms part of a broader international strategy that includes evaluation of projects in the US and Latin American markets. Chedi Hospitality operates hotels and private residences under its brand, with the 54 projects under assessment spanning these property types across the target geographies. The Morocco entry will mark the operator's first presence in North Africa outside the Gulf region.

Portable Luxury Tent Product Launch#

Chedi Hospitality is launching a portable luxury tent offering designed for the African safari market. The product targets operators seeking accommodation solutions that can be deployed in safari locations. The tent offering represents a new category for the company alongside its existing hotel and private residence operations. No pricing, capacity or delivery timeline for the tent product was disclosed in the announcement.

Project Pipeline and Evaluation Process#

The 54 projects under evaluation include a mix of hotel developments, private residential properties and the safari tent deployments. The company has not disclosed how many of the 54 projects it expects to proceed with or the capital allocation across the assessed properties. No breakdown by market or property type was provided for the projects under assessment. The evaluation process is ongoing across all three target regions.

Operator Background and Current Footprint#

Chedi Hospitality is based in Dubai and operates in the hotel and private residence sectors. The company has not disclosed the number of properties currently in operation or under development prior to the 54 projects now under evaluation. The Morocco entry and the US and Latin America assessments represent geographic expansion beyond the operator's existing markets. No financial figures, ownership structure or funding sources for the expansion were stated in the announcement.
