CROSSROADS Maldives, the premier integrated multi-island leisure destination of the Maldives, launches HotelPay, a cutting-edge payment gateway designed to enhance the travel experience for visitors from Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Guests can now seamlessly book the stays and make payments in Russian Rubles online or on-property at SO/ Maldives, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, and SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton.

Recognizing the growing demand for cashless and localized payment solutions at CROSSROADS Maldives, the introduction of this feature bridges the gap created by international payment restrictions such as local card limitations and cash handling, offering guests a secure, seamless and straightforward payment experience.

Frederic Lebegue, General Manager of Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, and Alexander Traeger, General Manager of SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton and CROSSROADS Marina stated, "The introduction of HotelPay is another step towards strengthening our commitment to making every aspect of our guests’ journey as effortless as possible. By addressing key payment barriers, we provide guests from Russia and the CIS with a streamlined experience, allowing them to fully enjoy their time here in the Maldives."

Olivier Moies-Delval, General Manager of SO/ Maldives, added, "This new addition to our payment infastructure aligns perfectly with our focus on superior guest satisfaction. By simplifying the payment process, we ensure that our guests fully immerse themselves in the luxurious and dynamic environment of SO/ Maldives without distractions."
