SynXis, the Sabre Holdings business that provides hotel distribution and Internet marketing services globally, announced today that Nikki Beach, one of the world's most recognizable lifestyle and entertainment brands, has selected SynXis to help its expansion into the luxury boutique hotel and resort business.

The property is using the RedX Distribution Management System as its single distribution platform to connect Nikki Beach Resort to all distribution channels, including Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and the leading online travel sites.
Nikki Beach Resort will merchandise its property online (www.nikkibeachhotels.com) using SynXis Guest Connect, the newest generation booking engine on the market, designed to increase conversion rates with its simple customization.
