Its revenue comes from room bookings, food and beverage services, and management fees earned from franchised properties. The company runs a loyalty program called A Club to boost guest retention and engagement. Growth is aided by strategic acquisitions, such as Adoria for corporate catering solutions and a stake in Squarebreak for upscale villa rentals.
