I n recent times , one-size-fits-all hotels are facing competition by locations that can cater to a specific type of customer . Ormond Group is a Malaysia-based hospitality business which operates 13 hotels under its Tune brand . With locations in Malaysia and the UK , its business model has undergone a change in response to an evolving market , taking it from a no-frills budget hotel chain where most amenities were add-ons to a more inclusive basic hotel model .
Accompanying this change in its existing properties , the organisation is launching two new hotel brands in the coming months : MoMo ’ s , a social hotel brand featuring micro-rooms and fun communal spaces , and Ormond Hotels – its flagship boutique brand for the contemporary traveler looking for simplified luxury . Following the debut of both brands at the end of 2019 , The Ormond Hotel will open in Dublin in 2021 while a MoMo ’ s and Ormond will open on a dual brand site on Flinders Street in Melbourne in 2022 . Julian Wong , Chief Technology Officer for Ormond Group , has overseen the digital transformation
