Mandarin Oriental has resumed its annual trade updates to Australia in 2011 with a team of representatives from seven Asia Pacific hotels dropping into Sydney and Melbourne this week, visiting key industry partners. The luxury group is in the midst of an aggresive expansion plan, not limited to just Asia, with new properties to come online in the Middle East, Americas & Europe. A few weeks ago the 138-room Mandarin Oriental Paris opened on rue Saint-Honore, in the heart of the French capital’s fashion district, and near the Lourve. Next year Mandarin Oriental will add locations in Taipei, Milan and Guangzhou, and from 2013, other properties will launch in Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Moscow & Beijing, to name a few.
