BANYAN Tree Hotels & Resorts is unveiling a new brand, alas it is keeping it under wraps until an official launch tomorrow. But from what we know, the first property carrying the brand is likely to open in Cuba in 2016, followed by launches in China and Thailand.
And seeing as the hospitality group currently holds three brands, Angsana, Banyan Tree and Cassia, our guess is the fourth will be a tree that starts with the letter D. We would cry if head honcho Ho Kwon Ping, in Phuket yesterday to launch the first Cassia, calls it Dacrydium. Maybe Damson?
