Regent Hotels & Resorts is an international group operating hotels in Asia, the Americas and Europe. ==History== The brand was started by hotelier Robert H. Burns as a joint venture with Japan’s Tokyu Group in 1970. In 1992, the Four Seasons hotel chain acquired the Regent hotel chain. Hotels under development at the time of purchase in New York, Bali, Milan, and Istanbul were subsequently opened as Four Seasons.〔 In 1998, Carlson acquired the Regent name for new hotel developments and would create a luxury hotel division while the Four Seasons continued management of existing and new Regent hotels. In 2002, Carlson agreed with Rezidor SAS to develop the Regent hotel brand in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rezidor SAS Hospitality )〕 In March 2006, Carlson renamed its Radisson Seven Seas Cruises to Regent Seven Seas Cruises and merged the cruise operation and Regent International Hotels under a common brand. In 2008, Regent Seven Seas Cruises was sold to Apollo Management, an investment company. Carlson retains ownership of the master Regent brand, along with the operations of Regent Hotels & Resorts around the world. In 2010, Carlson sold its Regent hotel business to Formosa International Hotels, the largest listed hotel operator in Taiwan. It is also the owner of Grand Formosa Regent Taipei hotel, Taipei, Taiwan, which was opened by Regent’s founders in 1990 as 'The Regent Taipei'.
