Atlantis Hotels has officially been named the Best Hotel Brand in Algeria for 2026, a prestigious honor bestowed by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards at their 18th international ceremony. The award recognizes excellence in the luxury sector, with the Organizing Committee in New York commending Atlantis Hรดtels Algรฉrie for its "impeccable reputation and exemplary professional performance."
The Luxury Lifestyle Awards, described as a global authority on luxury, selected Atlantis Hotels after a voluntary application and an in-depth analysis by its jury. The evaluation focused on four key pillars: customer experience quality, innovation, reputation, and service excellence. "Being selected among the best brands in our sector is a true recognition of the work, passion, and commitment of all our teams," the company stated in a press release.
This recognition comes at a pivotal moment for Atlantis Hotels, which was founded in Akbou in 2015 by the late Hadj Lounis Hamitouche. As the hotel subsidiary of the Algerian dairy conglomerate Soummam, the chain is rapidly expanding. It currently operates six establishments across Algeria and is actively pursuing growth through construction and acquisitions, including the recent takeover of the Ibis Aรฉroport dโAlger hotel in October. The group aims to significantly increase its capacity, targeting a total of 726 rooms and employing 880 staff by July 2026.
Atlantis Hotels emphasizes its strategy of developing a strong local brand in contrast to international franchises, aiming to "uphold the highest standards of Algerian hospitality." This latest award from the Luxury Lifestyle Awards complements previous recognition, such as the Traveller Review Awards 2026, where two of its properties, Atlantis Alger Air de France and Atlantis Bรฉjaรฏa Aรฉroport, received high ratings for their guest service. The company expressed gratitude to its employees, partners, and especially its clients, sharing the success by stating, "This distinction is yours as much as it is ours!"
