17 Years of Service for Elegant Hotels
For the past 17 years, Elegant Hotels has
grown into one of Barbados’ most unique
and trusted resorts that offer guests person-
alized service, bespoke activities and a truly
Bajan experience.
Backed by a staff of 914 employees across all
five properties, it’s all about making sacrific-
es according to Elegant Hotels CEO Sunil
Chatrani.
“In this business, we have to put a lot of
time into it. You have to really love this sec-
tor to be successful at it. We all love what we
do and spend more time working alongside
each other than with our own family,” Cha-
trani said.
Truly a team approach to doing business; it’s
not all about awards, glitter and glamour for
Elegant Hotels for Chatrani.
“The strength of our business is our people
from our operative/line staff to our Execu-
tive and management team. Our corporate
culture and environment in which we work
is the key to our success,” he said.
“We are not looking to win awards; we are
looking to win over our guests.”
Something they have done, and will surely
continue to do for many, many years to come.
