WorldHotels Expands in Europe

WorldHotels, a collection of independent hotels and resorts around the world that is part of BWH Hotels, has expanded in Europe including a first location in Greece and two new properties in the Netherlands.

"This year we have seen tremendous growth in our European portfolio, bringing incredible new offerings to travelers visiting Europe this summer," said Ron Pohl, president of WorldHotels. "We are excited to introduce our guests to a greater breadth of authentic, unique experiences while providing the highest levels of service and amenities."

The hospitality group's first Greek property is Makedonia Palace, a WorldHotels Luxury property in Thessaloniki.
