Hong Kong’s Shun Tak Holdings has signed a deal with Dutch boutique hotel chain CitizenM to ­develop and manage multiple hotel properties in several Australian cities..... Founded by Rattan Chadha, the former owner of the Mexx International Fashion Company, CitizenM offers affordable luxury including extra large beds, free WiFi and movies on demand.

Rattan Chadha, founder and CEO of citizenM, said the company is pursuing “a strategy of vigorous growth” in Europe, the U.S., and Asia. It has 11 hotels open now throughout Europe and in New York with plans to add more in other global gateways such as Taipei, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Paris, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

It’s all about creating a cool and convenient way to connect co-dwellers with interesting offerings and businesses present in their own neighbourhoods...We raised 200,000 dollars in seed funding from Rattan Chadha, former CEO of Mexx Europe Holding. Having a running proof of concept for almost a year in 1 neighbourhood of Mumbai was one of the main catalysts that helped get funding from our initial investor to grow the idea.
