History
The company was founded in 1991 by Christina Ong and her husband Ong Beng Seng. The company commenced operations with the opening of The Halkin hotel in London, England in 1991.[6] This was followed by the opening of Parrot Cay resort in Turks and Caicos in 1998, and the Cocoa Island resort in the Maldives in 2002. In 2004, the company acquired and assumed management over the Begawan Giri Estate in Ubud, Bali.[7][8]
Subsidiary company COMO Shambhala introduced a wellness app and website in June 2020.[9]
The group's Parrot Cay resort was named the location of numerous celebrity death hoaxes, including hoaxes on the supposed deaths of Ted Nugent, Ja Rule, Chad Kroeger and Vince Vaughn.[10]
In 2018, the company acquired Castello Del Nero, historic Tuscan castle-turned-hotel, in a deal worth €39.6 million.[11] The property reopened in 2019 as COMO Castello Del Nero following extensive restorations led by Milanese designer Paola Navone.[12]
