JS Anand founded LEVA Hotels in 2019 after more than 25 years in hospitality, including experience with Hilton, Marriott International and other major operators. The first flagship, LEVA Hotel Mazaya Centre in Dubai, established a contemporary, accessible lifestyle proposition. From that base, Anand has expanded through the Middle East, Europe and West Africa.
LEVA now operates through four hospitality sub-brands: LEVA Hotel Residences, LEVA, EKONO by LEVA and ZEN by LEVA. The architecture allows Anand to respond to different assets and price points without forcing every owner into one format. It also reflects his central thesis: a smaller operator can move faster, tailor agreements and give owners more direct access to decision-makers.

World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Awards has unveiled its 2026 nominees and opened global voting, following the assessment of hundreds of entries spanning 60 countries and territories.

Two of Thailand’s most iconic beachfront resorts, Banyan Tree Samui and Banyan Tree Krabi, have been awarded Two Keys by the MICHELIN Guide to Thailand for the third consecutive year.

Equivalent to MICHELIN stars for restaurants, the award of “Two Keys” is bestowed on a hotel or resort described by MICHELIN as “an exceptional stay”, in that it offers a remarkable experience in every regard, including distinctive character, outstanding design and impeccable service.
