A collaboration between award-winning GOCO Hospitality and Paramount Hotels & Resorts (PHR FZ-LLC), an exclusive Licensee of Paramount Pictures, aspires to set a rare standard in luxury hospitality and wellness
Having produced some of the most memorable films including “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, “Titanic” and “The Godfather”, Paramount Pictures, the undisputed global film icon, is synonymous with creativity and entertainment.
Originated to translate the same bold imagination and inspiring talent into a refreshing guest experience, the newly formed Paramount Hotels & Resorts (PHR FZ-LLC) will develop properties using a creative process that’s been refined over the past 100 years.
Initial sites in various stages of development include Brazil, the Caribbean, Indonesia, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. Target locations include both capital/gateway cities and popular resort destinations. Individual properties will be designed to appeal to the business traveler, leisure traveler, or both, based on the dynamics of the local market. Each property will be conceived as a major release featuring welcoming spaces, exciting lifestyle food and beverage outlets and luxurious accommodations.
Complementing this rollout will be an innovative Wellness & Fitness brand developed by GOCO Hospitality, a leading wellness hospitality consulting and management company.

It is where health conscious jetsetters go to not only find the ultimate in results-driven wellness, but to have the opportunity to sit in the directors seat and define their own storyline”.
Drawing on the 100 year history of Paramount, Paramount Hotels and Resorts will showcase authentic California lifestyle, the glamour of Hollywood, and be conceived as a ‘major release’ by a team of uniquely creative people, working together in a uniquely creative process. Reassuring signatures of the Paramount brand, including access to the Paramount movies library, a Paramount screening room and creative usage of the transformational elements like digital signage, media mapping and lighting effects throughout the public areas will be complemented by accents of local color.
