Brands by Gorgeous Smiling Hotels

In spring 2023, Gorgeous Smiling Hotels launched the new own brand elaya hotels, which replaces the previous own brands Arthotel ANA, ANA Living by Arthotel ANA and Rilano Hotels & Resorts. All hotels of the previous own brands will gradually be converted to the new brand without any respective closure periods. elaya means olive tree in Greek and well-being in Turkish and thus elaya hotels embody places of well-being, just like at friends' homes. True to the motto "Never again just stay overnight", elaya hotels convince with individual character, close service, surprising services as well as authentic cordiality.
