Muzsa Budapest Budapest – stunning art-deco bar launches new coloured theme menu

Muzsa Budapest

Muzsa Budapest – stunning art-deco bar launches new coloured theme menu

November 21, 2022 – Muzsa Budapest the stunning Art Nouveau cocktail bar of Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest, has unveiled its new colour themed menu. Aptly named “COLOROID,” every cocktail was carefully crafted by Head Bartender Ádám Rédli, who envisioned a menu where colours and flavours combined would take mixology to a whole new dimension. Elegant and refined, yet modern and playful, Muzsa Budapest has become the gold standard for craft cocktail experience in the city.

“After a very successful first menu, we knew we had a big challenge ahead of us. I wanted to take the craft cocktail experience to a new level, but still retaining the playfulness that our original cocktails are known for,” says Ádám Rédli, Head Bartender. “I’ve always been interested in the origins of colour, and I knew it was a theme that we would one day explore on our menu.”

The name of the menu is paying homage to the work of Hungarian professor Antal Nemcsics, who over the course of two decades developed the Coloroid Colour System, a colour-order system used by architects and visual constructors.

Consisting of 15 colours masterfully interpreted both visually and through flavours, the cocktails are divided into three eras and are paired with unique menu descriptions designed to stir the imagination. The eras are Chromatic Dawn, Golden Age and Luminous Horizons, each with five cocktails that narrate their own origins. Every cocktail is made with a different spirit and combined with the finest locally-sourced ingredients to provide unique flavour profiles ranging from umami to bittersweet to low ABV.

Muzsa Budapest

In the Chromatic Dawn, Muzsa Buapest’s cocktails pay tribute to the very first pigments and ancient dyes. The signature drink, Dragons Blood, is a modern take on the traditional whisky cocktail, Old Fashioned. Its bitter and nutty taste is provided by MÚZSA’s macadamia malt and maple, cherry herring and melon verjus.

In the Golden Age, the new-wave spirit-based cocktails are like a meeting with the divine. Its signature drink, the Martini-style Sunglow, is a sublime concoction made with pisco, saffron and edible gold, making it the most glamorous of all and with a characterful flavour.

The Luminous Horizons showcases the visible light spectrum; under the ethos of sustainability, using cutting edge mixology and technology are created the most adventurous cocktails on the menu. The signature drink, Cobalt, with its striking shade of blue promises to be the picture-perfect drink served in the iconic poppy head shaped glass. It’s a low ABV drink made with Szechuan button, jasmine and lemongrass and poppy, with fruity flavour notes.

Executive Chef Árpád Győrffy brings an exciting new selection of sophisticated bar food offerings such as Tofu and Avocado, Spicy Prawn Miso Soup, Wagyu Tataki and Mangalica Tonkatsu. Everything is presented on bespoke hand-painted Herend Porcelain sets. The menu, featuring small plates and tapas style bites, is designed for sharing.

With its inspired atmosphere to enjoy colourful cocktail creations, an exciting blend of Asian and Hungarian cuisines, and a diverse mix of local authentic live entertainment, MÚZSA portrays the best of Hungary’s rich cultural and culinary heritage.

Wizz Air, Europe’s fastest growing and most environmentally sustainable airline globally1, announces today it will operate a new route from Romania to Israel, starting January 2023.

Starting January 9th, 2023, the airline will offer two weekly flights from Suceava to Tel Aviv, on Mondays and Fridays.

This WIZZ air Romania to Israel route expansion comes less than a month before Wizz Air will open its new base at Suceava “Ștefan cel Mare” International Airport and before it will deliver two new aircraft that will support operations on five already announced routes to Paris-Beauvais (France), Brussels-Charleroi (Belgium), Venice-Treviso (Italy), Larnaca (Cyprus) and Eindhoven (Netherlands), as well as frequency increases on three routes, to Bologna, Milan-Bergamo and Rome Fiumicino.

Thus, only in November and December 2022, the airline will host three recruitment events in Suceava for aspiring flight attendants who wish to work in one of the strongest and most stable airlines. The Suceava recruitment events will take place on November 18th, December 2nd and 14th. In Romania, Wizz Air has hired over 300 flight attendants this year alone, planning to welcome another 200 during the next year.

Flight attendants at WIZZ can expect a competitive salary, paid industry-specific training, uniforms, unlimited discounted employee tickets, several free tickets and discounts for friends and family, as well as a monthly roster schedule. 

Daria Sergeeva, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air, said:“We are excited to announce yet another route from our soon-to-be new base in Suceava. With the latest route expansion from the city, frequency increases and two aircraft allocated, Wizz Air is committed to supporting Romania’s regional airports and the local job market.

By the end of this year, we will host three recruitment events in Suceava alone. We are looking forward to welcoming more passengers on the newest route departing from Suceava to Tel Aviv!”

Air Serbia to Chicago – flights will be launched in 2023

Air Serbia to Chicago

Air Serbia to Chicago

November 18, 2022 – Air Serbia to Chicago flights to commence in 2023 – find out the date!

Air Serbia will launch direct flights between Belgrade and Chicago (O’Hare International Airport – ORD) starting on 17 May 2023, thus continuing to expand its operations in the United States market. After a pause of more than 30 years, the Serbian national airline is again starting a service to the famous Windy City. Until 11 June, flights will be operated twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, while as of 12 June, Belgrade-Chicago flights will be operated three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Flights will last approximately 11 hours and will be operated by Airbus A330 aircraft from Air Serbia’s long-haul fleet. Tickets are already available for purchase at the starting price of 640 euros for a round trip, with all taxes included.

Air Serbia to Chicago – return after three decades

“After more than three decades, the JU 506/507 flight will mark the return of the national airline to Chicago. This is an extremely important city and we are certain that direct flights between Belgrade and Chicago will mean a lot not just to the Serbian diaspora, but also to the wider Balkans region. By introducing flights between those two cities, the region will be better connected to Chicago, and passengers will have more choices. With the good connections that Air Serbia offers we expect great interest for these direct flights, for those who want to continue their travel to other destinations,” said George Petković, Vice President Americas, Air Serbia.

By re-opening the route, Air Serbia to Chicago, will, via Belgrade, provide good connections between Chicago and other cities in its network, such as Athens, Vienna, Berlin, Bologna, Bucharest, Dubrovnik, Istanbul, Larnaca, Ljubljana, Prague, Pula, Podgorica, Rome, Sarajevo, Skopje, Sofia, Tivat, Venice, Zagreb, and many others. On the other hand, thanks to its interline partnership with JetBlue and American Airlines, Air Serbia will be able to offer better connections to passengers who will continue their travels toward other locations in North America from Chicago and New York.

With almost 2.8 million citizens, Chicago is the most populous city in the state of Illinois and the third biggest city in the U.S., after New York and Los Angeles. It is located on Lake Michigan, and is a part of both the Midwest and the Great Lakes areas. The city itself is considered an important hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, education, technology, communication and transportation. Chicago is famous for its unique artistic sculptures and installations.

Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) is one of the six highest-traffic airports in the world, and in 2019, its services were used by over 90 million passengers, who had access to 236 destinations.

Built mainly through the use of wooden materials, the luxury escape is seamlessly integrated into its hillside surroundings and welcomes guests seeking a tranquil, nature-based getaway.

Saowarin Chanprakaisi, Director, Development, South East Asia and Korea, IHG, said: “It’s fantastic to work with first-time partner Dinso Resort Co., Ltd to open our fourth Vignette Collection hotel in Thailand. We see a demand for authentic and experiential experiences, and with the spotlight on environmental and social issues, meaningful and responsible stays. This new collaboration shows confidence in the purpose-driven Vignette Collection brand in the market, which has grown quickly since the successful opening of Sindhorn Midtown, our first Vignette Collection property, in Bangkok earlier this year.

“Situated in the popular destination of Patong, Dinso Resort Phuket, Vignette Collection will add to IHG’s growing presence in Phuket, where we have hotels across four of our world-renowned brands – InterContinental, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express. Before the pandemic, Phuket attracted over 10 million visitors per year and, after Bangkok, was the most visited destination in Thailand. We look forward to welcoming guests to this beautiful hillside resort.”

Wanchai Akkaravivat, Managing Director, Dinso Resort Co., Ltd, said: “We have always had a strong vision for Dinso Resort – to be a design-led and lifestyle-focused nature resort that’s built carefully, thoughtfully and sustainably. We took our time to develop its barefoot luxury experience coupled with its own distinct character and identity, and when we saw Vignette Collection come to life in Thailand, we knew it was the perfect brand for our property.

“We have found the ideal partner in IHG, have seen their success in launching new brands in new markets, including the InterContinental brand into Phuket, and fully believe in its ability to deliver results while making a positive impact on the Phuket community. As a Vignette Collection hotel, Dinso Resort will offer a one-of-a-kind stay with memorable rituals for every guest and a commitment to support the Phuket community.”

A 60-minute drive from Phuket International Airport and just eight minutes from the bustling tourism hub of Patong, Dinso Resort Phuket enjoys a hillside location that offers guests an exclusive and immersive nature getaway.

Certain to attract families, couples and friends alike, the hotel offers a choice of 148 rooms and suites and 26 tree-top pool villas with stunning views of the Patong coast. Facilities will also include two restaurants and bars, a meeting room of 150 square metres, a swimming pool, fitness centre and spa. The property enjoys easy access to the picturesque, white sand Patong Beach, and a wide array of restaurants, bars, night markets and shopping centres.

IHG has 30 hotels across nine brands in Thailand and a pipeline of 36* properties which are set to open as it grows its Luxury and Lifestyle portfolio in the country by 50% by 2026, while doubling its estate across all brands.

Dinso Resort Phuket, Vignette Collection will support the brand’s continued global expansion since its launch in 2021. With three hotels already open and six in its global pipeline across markets including Austria, Portugal and Thailand, Vignette Collection is a collection of luxury hotels in vibrant destinations around the world – each unique in its own right, with a distinct outlook and story to tell.

Grayson Hotel opens its doors in New York with 296 rooms

Grayson Hotel opens its doors in New York with 296 rooms

Grayson Hotel New York

November 10, 2022 – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today the opening of Grayson Hotel, introducing The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand to New York. In a city that has been rewriting its story for nearly 350 years, Grayson Hotel’s industrial-chic personality pays homage to the turn-of-the-century industrialization of New York and the cross-cultural culinary awakening it inspired, ushering in a bright new chapter.  

Grayson Hotel New York

Located in Midtown Manhattan and steps from Fifth Avenue and Bryant Park, Grayson Hotel gives guests the freedom to explore the very best of the city that never sleeps—discovering story worthy experiences like never before. Although Grayson Hotel occupies a brand-new building at 30 W. 39th Street, it tells the story of its surrounding neighborhoods: Murray Hill, named for the Irish-born merchant who came to New York in 1753; the Garment District, America’s fashion epicenter since 1919; and most recently, Hudson Yards, a sprawling 28-acre neighborhood built over a historic rail yard.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Each of Grayson Hotel’s 296 guestrooms have been carefully designed with the destination in mind, showcasing a collection of artwork curated by Indie Walls, a full-service global art consultancy, highlighting beloved historical sites in New York City. Guestrooms and suites feature the juxtaposition of grace and grit—interiors with exposed concrete ceilings, bathrooms with subway tiles, and bespoke artwork designed to evoke an authentic sense of Manhattan style.

Decor elements in both the rooms and suites feature vintage books and objects that represent industrial accomplishments, past and present, fully immersing guests in the unique story of the hotel. Three interconnecting hotel suites on the fourth floor offer private balconies with views of landmarks old and new.

In-room amenities include a butler style mini bar service offering to-go craft cocktails and locally sourced snacks and beverages. Additional amenities include Lather bath and body products in bamboo lemongrass scent; custom-designed “hoodie” bathrobes and a bronze statue of the hotel’s French Bulldog mascot, Grayson. Guests will also be met with a 24-hour fitness center, GRIT, which features all the essentials for a great workout, including SoulCycle commercial bikes, TRX treadmills, a StairMaster HIIT machine, dumbbells, cross trainers, and more.

Hotel guests benefit from Midtown Manhattan neighborhood perks such as views overlooking picturesque Bryant Park, the Empire State Building, the new Freedom Tower, and One Times Square, site of the annual New Year’s Eve ball drop.

CULINARY

Acclaimed New York City-based hospitality company Apicii, helmed by founder and CEO Tom Dillon and led by an all-star team of hospitality veterans including Michelin-starred Chief Culinary Officer Jonathan Benno and Beverage Director Kyle Tran, will open multiple dining experiences at Grayson Hotel beginning this fall. Inspired by the team’s deep knowledge and experience with Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines, as well as extensive travels and long relationships with culinary pioneers, distillers and craftsmen across each region, Grayson Hotel’s culinary and beverage concepts deliver an oasis away from the bustle of Bryant Park and Midtown Manhattan. All restaurant concepts and design are overseen by Dutch East Designs.

The ground floor all-day dining restaurant, Harta, will offer a pan-Mediterranean Brasserie featuring a collaborative menu between Chef Jonathan Benno and Executive Chef Mark Zuckerman that reflects an exploration of regional cuisine. Among Harta’s dish highlights are artichokes with red kuri squash and rainbow carrots, brodetto with a variety of seafood in a tomato-saffron broth, and black bass with artichokes, fennel, radish and vadouvan broth. These join a dessert menu with items such as a créme fraiche panna cotta served with shredded honey filo, blackberries and mint. The wine program features a hand-picked list of Old and New World wines selected to complement the cuisine. Bar Harta, a convivial wine and tapas bar with a seasonal patio, will welcome guests on the second floor.

Located on the 28th floor, Bar Cima is an intimate, rooftop mezcaleria with indoor-outdoor seating spanning views from the Empire State Building to the East and Hudson Rivers. The interior evokes polished Mexican luxury, welcoming guests through walnut and brass–adorned doors into an intimate lounge area with jewel-toned seating in patterned velvets, custom stone tables with ornately carved bases and an antique mirrored ceiling. The bar itself is a jewel box for the expansive mezcal and tequila collection, made from tall walnut shelving lined with earth-toned stone panels. Out on the north terrace, guests will find a wall of tiles with copper sconces playing off their patterns and furnishings with wrapped-rope and colorful metal details, alongside breathtaking views.

DESIGN

Among Grayson Hotel’s architectural highlights, guests will find concrete ceilings, high-gloss woods, and a stunning spiral staircase that invites guests on an unforgettable journey celebrating the New York City neighborhoods and ethnic cuisines that define and unite the city. The architecture and design of Grayson Hotel is credited to Italian Marcello Pozzi, founder and principal of MarceLLO Pozzi architecture & design (MLLO), a progressive practice that spans architecture, interior and industrial design. The guestroom’s design elements are developed and implemented by The Setting New York. The new-build hotel is owned, developed and managed by the Fortuna Hotel Collection.

The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand includes 35 unique hotels around the world with the addition of Grayson Hotel. Whether it’s a captivating past, an exclusive location, famous architecture and design, or an award-winning dining experience, each property within The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand maintains a distinct character, freedom to be unique and inspires stories worth collecting, while providing guests with the World of Hyatt loyalty program and a trusted brand name and reputation.

Opening preview rates begin at $409 per night. To book a stay at Grayson Hotel or to learn more about the property, please visit www.graysonhotel.com or @graysonhotelnyc on Instagram. 

The term “Hyatt” is used in this release for convenience to refer to Hyatt Hotels Corporation and/or one or more of its affiliates.

3 new hotels for IHG in Kenya and Tanzania

3 new hotels for IHG in Kenya and Tanzania

November 7, 2022 – 3 new hotels for IHG in Kenya and Tanzania

 IHG® Hotels & Resorts has signed franchise agreements to rebrand three properties across Tanzania and Kenya to join the IHG portfolio of brands. The move sees IHG Hotels & Resorts swiftly expand its presence across Africa as the continent’s profile continues to grow.

3 new hotels for IHG in Kenya and Tanzania

Holiday Inn Nairobi Two Rivers Mall and The Fairview Nairobi in Kenya and Crowne Plaza Dar es Salaam in Tanzania are now open and are welcoming guests. Across each property, IHG Hotels & Resorts and the new owners will elevate the guest experience by completing renovations and enhancements, incorporating brand hallmarks and standards that IHG guests are recognized and loved worldwide.

3 new hotels for IHG in Kenya and Tanzania:

“Africa’s hospitality and tourism industry has weathered the disruption of the past two years, with a rising number of inbound travellers highlighting how much potential the region has,” commented Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa at IHG. “Our expansion across Kenya and Tanzania is testament to how IHG Hotels & Resorts is encouraging this potential and meeting the returning demand quickly. We are delighted to have these properties join the IHG family and are excited to offer our guest the exceptional hospitality that we are known for.”

He further added: “an ownership that includes Actis and Westmont Hospitality is important partnership to IHG, we are pleased to grow together in the region and to bring exceptional properties and hospitality to guests visiting these two important gateway cities.”

A representative on behalf of the ownership said, “we are delighted to strengthen our partnership with IHG and expand our portfolio together into new markets and different brands.  Africa has tremendous MICE, business and leisure growth potential. Franchising with IHG at a time when travelers are increasingly purchasing branded offers on the continent also makes sense. These three hotels that are joining the IHG platform are very well located and will offer guests a great place to stay. We expect all three properties to benefit from the strength and scale of IHG’s global systems, technology and strong loyalty programme”

Funke Okubadejo, Director Real Estate, Actis commented: “We are excited to establish a relationship with IHG, through our joint venture with Westmont Hospitality and this continues our track record of investing in exciting Real Estate opportunities across key locations in Africa.”

 

Holiday Inn Nairobi Two Rivers Mall

The hotel is located in the vibrant Gigiri/Runda district, in northern Nairobi. Holiday Inn Nairobi Two Rivers is within the 100-acre Two Rivers Mall & Entertainment complex; offering guests unrivalled access to over 200 shops, the City’s theme park and an array of family fun activities, such as go-karting and the skate park.

This new Holiday Inn Nairobi with 171 rooms, will be a popular choice amongst families, groups and those visiting the United Nations, NGOs, embassies and the many companies moving to this growing part of the city.  Along with excellent rooms, the hotel offers modern facilities, meetings rooms, a gym, a swimming pool and an all-day dining terrace.

Fairview, Nairobi, Kenya

The Fairview Hotel, located in Upper Hill Nairobi, is one of the City’s landmark addresses. The Fairview was converted from a 1920s manor house in 1932 and has been an established destination amongst discerning travelers, domestic and international, for decades. The property will be undergoing a sensitive refurbishment before operating under one of IHG’s boutique brands. In addition to offering an upscale hospitality experience, the Fairview’s reputation for its restaurant and bars will be further enhanced during the refurbishment.

The new ownership’s investment at Fairview is anticipated to have a positive social, environmental and economic impact. The Fairview team is already engaging in new skills training and a greater social awareness has been incorporated into how the hotel operates within its local environment. Following the refurbishment, the team also hopes to achieve a material reduction in the property’s energy consumption.

Crowne Plaza, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Located within the central business district of Dar es Salaam, Crowne Plaza Dar es Salaam is anticipated to receive high demand from business travelers visiting Tanzania’s commercial center and those leisure guests who know to stop-off in Dar es Salaam in the hope of enjoying some Taarab music before connecting through to Tanzania’s world-renowned Serengeti and Mount Kilimanjaro.

Crowne Plaza Dar es Salaam offers 148 bedrooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a bar, meeting rooms, a modern gym and a swimming pool.  Additionally, the property is conveniently located just one km from the city center and 11km from Julius Nyere International Airport, making it an attractive option for international and regional travelers.

IHG currently operates 28 hotels across 5 brands in Africa, including: InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express and voco with a further 22 hotels in the development pipeline due to open within the next three to five years.

the hottest curry in the world

the hottest curry in the world?

Did you know that arguably the hottest curry in the world is prepared by a chef wearing a gas mask?

Brick Lane Curry House is known for having one of the spiciest curry dishes in the world. 

the hottest curry in the world?

Phaal curry is a British-Indian dish known to be the hottest in the world, and at Brick Lane Curry House it’s so hot that thex chef has to wear a gas mask while making it to not choke on the spicy fumes released. Their website even describes the order as:

“An excruciatingly hot curry, more pain and sweat than flavor. For our customers who do this on a dare, we require you to state a verbal disclaimer not holding us liable for any physical or emotional damage after eating the curry.”

The dish is created using about 10 to 12 ground chili peppers, including the hottest one—Carolina Reaper. Once finished and served it has a heat of about 2.2 million Scoville! (For reference, jalapeños range from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville…so if you find jalapeños too spicy then you may want to sit this challenge out.)

Recipe – try at your own risk!

1 pound chicken breast, chopped (or use lamb) 
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 ghost peppers, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped green onions
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger 
and here is the rest….

Having explored different Indian terroirs and immersed himself in the contrasts between local tastes and traditions, he has unearthed a treasure trove of indigenous cuisine.

Facing the garden and enjoying abundant natural sun light is ZEST, a bright, relaxing place for delicious healthy meals made with fresh local ingredients.  Dishes include superfood salads, signature homemade dressings, creative toasts and fresh natural juices and smoothies – it’s an idyllic place to gather for a casual lunch or snack. 

Hyatt Regency Lisbon will also welcome a fine restaurant, with direct access to the public, and a rooftop, with a backdrop of panoramic views of the River Tagus. Currently, the lounge space is only available for meetings and events, with the rooftop and bar space set to open to the public in the coming months.

Meeting and Event Space

The hotel’s six meeting areas have up to 420 square meters of function space which can be easily converted to suit a range of set-ups. The 220 sqm main meeting room can also be divided into four large boardrooms which offer 42 square meters of space each, with a modern, flexible layout that can be adapted to meet the needs of any event, from weddings to a company meeting.

Hyatt Regency Lisbon makes the most of its natural surroundings and offers extensive indoor and outdoor spaces. For an event space with a twist choose the multifunctional and light filled VISTA, a mezzanine with direct access to the garden. The Rooftop Lounge offers picturesque views across the River Tagus and The Garden Courtyard, connected to the main meeting room on the ground floor is the perfect place for mingling and networking into the night.
