CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDLHT) has announced that the resort currently known as Raffles Maldives Meradhoo will be rebranded as The Halcyon Private Isles Maldives, Autograph Collection, effective Nov 1.
According to a Sept 1 bourse filing, the rebranding will place the property under the Autograph Collection brand, a part of Marriott International’s portfolio of over 30 hotel brands. Autograph Collection includes over 300 independent hotels across the world.
