History
Alila Hotels and Resorts, which translates to "surprise" in Sanskrit, was established in May 2001. The corporation was founded as part of a takeover of two then GHM-managed hotels in Bali, known as The Serai and The Chedi. Following their separation from GHM, the first Alila hotel opened in Jakarta in 2001. Soon after, hotels in Manggis and Ubud also debuted. The corporate headquarters were relocated from Bali to Singapore in 2004.

Alila established a relationship with Commune Hotels, the company behind Joie de Vivre, Thompson, and tommie, in May 2014. Soon after, Commune bought 51% of Alila. Following Commune's merger with Destination Hotels in 2016, the Alila and the other Commune-owned brands were incorporated under the then recently established holding company Two Roads Hospitality. Alila subsequently joined Hyatt in November 2018 as a result of the purchase of Two Roads Hospitality by the Hyatt Hotels Corporation.
