The reputability of Vienna House makes it an ideal partner as AHS into Europe, said Jonathan Wigley, CEO of the Thai hospitality management company. Vienna House owns and/or manages 36 properties in Europe.
Rupert Simoner, CEO of Vienna House, likewise commented on the company’s renewed confidence in expanding beyond Europe with the support and “strong background” of its new partner in Asia.
