“We are proud to have joined forces with Mohari Hospitality,” said David Zisser, CEO and Founder, Omnam. “Omnam will continue to create dynamic experiences that celebrate their destinations, whilst remaining committed to conserving and honoring our environment. In a culture detoxing from the Instagramification of every moment — we’re creating space for the delight in between the big moments.” Zisser continued, “The combination of Mohari’s capital capabilities and leadership team, under the direction of Mark Scheinberg and J. Allen Smith, is first class, and will allow us to grow as we always have – with full attention to detail and our eyes turned to the future of the industry. With this announcement, we also take this opportunity to welcome J. Allen Smith, Mohari’s Managing Partner and former President & CEO, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, to Omnam’s Board of Directors. ”

J Allen Smith of Mohari, commented, “We are excited to partner with David and the Omnam team, who have demonstrated a unique ability to identify and develop exceptional properties in some of the most sought after markets in Europe. The combined capabilities of our two firms creates a platform with tremendous growth potential.”

Mohari is a global investment platform that focuses on the luxury hospitality sector. Its portfolio includes Peninsula Papagayo (Four Seasons, Andaz), 1 Hotel Toronto, Centro Canalejas Madrid (Four Seasons), Riviera Dining Group (Mila Miami) and the Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection.

This partnership follows Omnam’s joint venture announcement with Bain Capital in October 2021 to develop the former Hotel Britannia Excelsior in Lake Como. Zisser states, “Today’s announcement is a natural extension of our robust existing capital collaborations, which have laid the foundation for our cohesive and thoughtful developments to date. We remain committed to our long-standing capital partners, who have trusted our ability to deliver exceptional projects and financial returns, and with whom we look forward to continuing our journey.”

The Omnam-Mohari partnership has already begun in earnest, with new project announcements forthcoming in Autumn 2022.
