February 17, 2022 – The 305-room luxury hotel development, featuring interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners, has started taking bookings for stays from the beginning of June 2022 onwards.

Conrad Los Angeles now accepting reservations

This highly anticipated design-led property promises to pair exciting dining concepts with vibrant social spaces and a rejuvenating wellness offering.

A major addition to LA

The forthcoming Tara Bernerd & Partners-designed Conrad Los Angeles at The Grand LA, the ambitious Frank Gehry-designed mixed-use development, has begun accepting reservations from 1 June 2022. A contemporary 305-key hotel located right in the heart of the action, it represents the first site for Hilton Worldwide’s celebrated luxury hotel brand in the Golden State.

“As we prepare to open our doors, we are excited to welcome guests to discover Conrad Los Angeles’ world-class hospitality and ground-breaking design,” said Adam Heffron, general manager for Conrad Los Angeles. “The luxury property will offer guests an elevated southern California lifestyle experience and unparalleled access to downtown Los Angeles’ thriving cultural scene.”

Exciting culinary concepts

The 28-storey property will provide the downtown area with a striking new landmark, providing expansive views over the city from its rooftop terrace with private pool deck.

Tara Bernard & Partners is crafting interiors that reflect its signature luxury approach, taking inspiration from Gehry’s statement architecture. Interestingly, the hotel’s design draws on the West Coast Modernist movement and the culture of this part of LA, while floor-to-ceiling windows blur the lines between indoors and outdoors.

Guests will be able to experience two dining concepts by Chef José Andrés and ThinkFoodGroup: an open-air rooftop dining destination featuring a Latin- and Asian-inspired menu, as well as poolside options, and a second restaurant dedicated to Spanish flavours and southern California’s farm-fresh ingredients. Both culinary concepts are to be located on the tenth floor, close to a lobby bar celebrating the spirit of the desert and the Pacific Ocean.

Radisson hotel Madagascar properties

Radisson Blu Hotel, Antananarivo Waterfront, Radisson Hotel Antananarivo Waterfront and Radisson Serviced Apartments Antananarivo City Center all join the portfolio.

Antananarivo, is also known as “Analamanga” or the “City of Thousand” referring to the thousand soldiers appointed in the seventeenth century by the king, to protect the palace locally known as “Rova”, on the highest hill of the city.

With its palaces such as the Rova of Antananarivo dating back to the 19th century and the nearby Andafiavaratra Palace, museums, colonial-architecture, and bustling markets, it is a charming and historical city.

Located just beyond the outskirts of northern Antananarivo lies the Royal Hill of Ambohimanga, the country’s only cultural UNESCO site and a place of great significance.

It includes the ruins of a fortified royal city as well as a burial site, and it remains an important place of pilgrimage for the people of Madagascar.

Centrally located in a private area within the tree-lined waterfront, Radisson Blu Hotel, Antananarivo Waterfront is close to the recently developed premier business district which is surrounded by various shops, entertainment and businesses.

The hotel’s 168 modern rooms and suites are filled with natural light and overlook the captivating city with waterfront views.

Tim Cordon, senior area vice president, Middle East & Africa at Radisson Hotel Group, said: “We are thrilled to be opening our first three hotels in Madagascar, showcasing two of our fastest growing brands and a varied offering from hotel to serviced apartments.

“We are proud to be expanding our presence across the Indian Ocean with a collection of hotels we truly believe will have a positive impact on the Madagascan economy and together with the wonderful team at Madagascar’s tourism board, we expect to attract more travellers to this beloved island.”

Also located in Antananarivo, guests can look forward to experiencing authentic Madagascan hospitality in the 30-room Radisson Hotel Antananarivo Waterfront.

Reflecting the Radisson brand’s signature Scandinavian aesthetic, the hotel’s rooms and suites feature natural materials such as beautiful wooden details, combined with Madagascan-inspired architecture, while boasting picturesque lake and garden views.

The 56 spacious and bright studios and apartments at Radisson Serviced Apartments Antananarivo City Centre, filled with natural light and views of the surrounding hills, offer the ideal home-away-from-home for guests traveling for business, leisure or extended stays.

The convenient in-room features include a kitchenette, minifridge and flatscreen TV. With a neutral colour palette and modern touches, the studios and apartments were designed to provide the ultimate tranquillity.

February 17, 2022 – Kempinski Palace Portoroz Slovenia announces EUR 6.5 million hotel renovation investment cycle

 While the seaside destination Portorož enjoys a peaceful time before the spring and summer season and with the majority of the hotels closed, the iconic Kempinski Palace Portorož Slovenia is set for a renovation. MK Group, the owning company of the iconic hotel, is to invest an additional 6.5 million over the course of the next two years.

Kempinski Palace Portoroz Slovenia

The initial EUR 3.5 million investment will be directed towards the renovation of the modern part of the hotel and is expected to finish in late spring. It will completely redesign all 78 rooms and suites in the modern part of the hotel, focusing on a minimalistic modern look with touches of the destination. Emphasis will be placed on room inventory and, especially, IT infrastructure, such as various system changes, software and hardware updates, Wi-Fi development and conference centre adaptation to the desires of the new-age meeting organiser. The world of saunas, the fitness room and the wellness area will also be upgraded, expanded and redesigned.

In the next two years, MK Group is to invest an additional EUR 3 million for the renovation of the Palace part of the hotel and the areas not included in this year’s renovation phase.

Kai Behrens, General Manager of the Kempinski Palace Portoroz Slovenia, comments, “The renovation is directed in the areas about which we received comments from the guests in the past and are tailor-made to drive guest satisfaction, hotel quality even further and, consequently, higher revenue for the hotel.” The hotel was labelled ‘Best Hotel in Slovenia’ for the past few years by independent awards organisations and has recently also won the award for the ‘Best Meetings Hotel’ in the country in one of the categories, and further investments mean “We will not sleep on our awards. We never hide that we do not want to be the best only in Slovenia but in the wider region, and the renovation enables us to be that. We are lucky that our owning company sees the same potential for further growth and business expansion as we do,” ends Behrens.

February 10, 2022 – Marriott International’s wellness-oriented hotel brand has entered a new market after launching a stylish riverside property designed by Dexter Moren Associates.

Westin debuts in UK with contemporary scheme in London

The Westin London City promises to deliver a wellness-focused hospitality experience in the heart of the UK capital.

 A wellbeing experience

The Westin brand’s first UK hotel, The Westin London City, is now open. This riverfront property has been designed by British hospitality design practice Dexter Moren Associates to enhance the wellness experience, with contemporary, fluid and sculptural residential-style interiors connecting guests with nature.

In terms of overall concept, the guest experience is defined by the brand’s six wellbeing pillars: Sleep Well, Eat Well, Move Well, Feel Well, Work Well and Play Well. Through these pillars, guests are able to personalise their stay and participate in the hotel’s programming.

“The Westin London City seamlessly balances London’s captivating energy with the wellness promise that Westin Hotels & Resorts is known for, providing mindful travellers a new way to experience this iconic destination,” said Jason Nuell, senior vice president of premium brands for Marriott International. “As the brand’s debut in the UK, we’re excited to continue expanding our portfolio, delivering industry-leading wellbeing experiences designed to empower a better you.”

The sleek property is owned by 4C Hotel Group and managed by RBH.

Wellness meets contemporary design

Travellers are accommodated across 222 guestrooms, each featuring the signature Heavenly Bed, a spa-like bathroom and handy amenities like White Tea Heavenly Bath products.

This accommodation is joined by Heavenly Spa by Westin, comprising six treatment rooms and an indoor pool built around the archaeological remains of the Huggin Hill Bathhouse. Guests can also make use of the fitness equipment, including Peloton, in the state-of-the-art WestinWorkout Fitness Studio.

The dining offering revolves around two venues: the Hithe + Seek wine bar overlooking the Thames, and the Mosaic all-day dining venue, focusing on sustainably sourced ingredients. At Hithe + Seek, plush furnishings meet modern finishes, and small plates are served alongside an extensive choice of wines, from familiar favourites (Hithe) to those less likely to have been encountered previously (Seek). The fourth-floor Mosaic, meanwhile, is named after the artwork found at the front of the hotel.

Events and meetings are catered for in 1,060 sq m of flexible event space, including a ballroom and five expansive meeting rooms, all exhibiting the same residential feel and natural touches as the rest of the hotel. The site is completed by nine state-of-the-art residences.

A positive step forward for London

Found on the Thames pathway, this property is the final piece connecting the Embankment to the Tower of London.

“By connecting these two sides of London, we have opened a walkway that could help towards a greener city, encouraging locals and visitors alike to walk the beautiful stretch of river,” said Neil Taylor, chief operating officer at 4C Hotel Group. “It has been 80 years in the making in bringing this walkway back for everyday use and we are delighted to see our city united once more.”

Recently, Dexter Moren Associates’ founding director Dexter Moren discussed his role on The Westin London City in an exclusive interview with TOPHOTELNEWS. The London-based architect, who set up the eponymous hospitality design practice exactly 30 years ago, revealed that he completed his first sketches for the scheme over a decade ago.

February 10, 2022 – Edition Hotels has launched in Downtown Dubai, a short distance from the retail flagships, commercial district and flourishing art, design and culture hubs that make up the city.

The Dubai Edition joins luxury Middle East market

The Dubai Edition is the latest property in the Middle East from the brand following a launch in Abu Dhabi.

The hotel, with its own unique and original identity, embodies its sense of place at the centre of a thriving international gateway city that is steered by pioneering spirit and innovation while anchored in its rich culture.

From the outside, the Dubai Edition stands tall within the Downtown district surrounded by world-famous attractions and landmarks.

The green-filled entrance to the hotel is populated with bold terracotta pots transporting guests from the hustle and bustle to an oasis of calm.

The cohesive design language flows seamlessly throughout the hotel and continues into the 275 guestrooms, including 41 suites and penthouse.

This simplicity in design immediately brings attention to minute details such as the matching of veins in the natural stone and wood.

The palette is minimal yet warm, with a journey of slightly different hues and colours.

The light oak wood and stone accents flow from one room to the other and evoke a feeling of tranquil luxury.

The monochromatic colour scheme and contemporary minimalism make each room feel fresh and light and is complemented by the elegant lines of the furniture, textured upholstery and wooden-lined walls.

Floor to ceiling windows provide abundant light and lead onto large glass balconies with spectacular views over the iconic Burj Khalifa.

Artwork by Carole Benitah adorns the walls depicting a young girl dancing in the Dubai fountains.

February 8, 2022 – Sporting a frame, façade and interiors made from wood, Scandic Sundsvall Central in Sweden will demonstrate the capacity for hotels to embrace sustainability when it opens in 2024.

Scandic reveals plans for climate-neutral hotel

This 210-key property will combine strong green credentials with an appealing location in the city’s harbour area.

A burgeoning area

Fresh from signing a long-term lease agreement with Skanska, Stockholm-headquartered hotel operator Scandic has signalled its intention to launch the 210-key Scandic Sundsvall Central hotel in the Swedish city of Sundsvall.

“Scandic’s new hotel in Sundsvall will be a modern and attractive meeting place ideally located in an exciting area where we can see a growing demand for hotel accommodations,” said Peter Jangbratt, head of Scandic Hotels Sweden. “We’ve been developing the hotel together with Skanska for the past two years and naturally, it feels extremely positive to be further strengthening our hotel offering in the city.”

Joakim Åkesson, regional manager at Skanska SverigeIt, added: “It is gratifying to now have Scandic as a tenant – a company that shares our values in terms of sustainability and with which we have worked closely in other projects.”

Impressive eco-credentials

Scandic Sundsvall Central is to be located alongside the city’s harbour, as well as its railway station. The hotel’s 210 rooms will be joined by a cosy ground-floor restaurant and bar area, along with spa facilities, a gym and meeting rooms providing views over the Bothnian Sea on the first floor.

It’s envisaged that the trailblazing building will feature a frame, façade and interiors made from wood, while energy-efficient materials and solar panels will be installed on the roof. The scheme, which plans to be 100% carbon-neutral, is aiming for Leed Gold certification.

Due to launch in 2024, the property will bolster Scandic’s presence in Sundsvall. The company already operates two hotels and 312 rooms in the up-and-coming city.

Airbus A380 To Be Converted Into A Luxury Hotel

February 8, 2022 – Frédéric Deleuze, a former Airbus engineer, intends to transform an Airbus A380 aircraft originally planned for dismantling into a luxury hotel. The hotel will be placed in the airport’s northern terminal at Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS).

Airbus A380 To Be Converted Into A Luxury Hotel

The future hotel will contain 31 rooms, two of which will be suites. Three accommodation kinds will be available in the fuselage: ordinary rooms for two people, deluxe rooms for three or four guests, and suites.

One suite room will be placed in the A380 cockpit, while the other will be located at the back of the plane on two floors linked by the original staircase.

The hotel complex will also have a 60-seat restaurant with a patio overlooking the largest passenger jet.

When he learnt that some old Airbus A380s were being scrapped, Frédéric Deleuze, who worked as an engineer at Airbus for 15 years, came up with the idea of upcycling the Airbus A380 into a hotel.

Several historic planes have been rescued from aviation graveyards. British Airways said in 2020 that it would convert its final Boeing 747 aeroplane into a theatre and educational facility for kids. In 2021, Emirates recycled its retired Airbus A380 into aviation collectibles.

February 04, 2022 – The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon will be The Standard brand’s flagship hotel in Asia and the latest addition to the company’s growing global portfolio. The company today announced that the hotel will open its doors to the public on 11th May 2022, and will begin taking reservations on February 4th.

The Standard to Open its Asia Flagship in Bangkok May, 2022

The hotel is conveniently located in Bangkok’s central business district between the Sathorn and Silom corridors and is housed in the landmark King Power Mahanakhon Building, a 78-story mixed-use building that is one of the tallest in Thailand. It is also in close proximity to Bangkok’s Old Town with its wealth of cultural attractions and what has recently become the chosen enclave for the city’s dynamic creative community. The hotel will reflect the unmistakable energy of the Thai capital and infuse The Standard brand’s “anything but standard” ethos throughout the property.

“There is nothing in Bangkok, or the entire region, like what we have created here,” said Amar Lalvani, Executive Chairman for Standard International. “We love the energy, style and culture Bangkok offers and couldn’t be more proud to partner with King Power to open our flagship for the region in this awe inspiring building, in this incredible city. When we open our doors in May, visitors and locals will be treated to the world of immersive hospitality that only The Standard can create.”

 

With 155-rooms, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon will become the brand’s flagship property in Asia. The hotel is designed by Spanish artist / designer Jaime Hayon in collaboration with The Standard’s award-winning in-house design team. The vibrant colors, fluid shapes, evolving art installations and lush greenery that flows seamlessly inside and out mark a sharp aesthetic departure from other luxury hotels in the city.

 

In addition to thoughtfully appointed guest rooms and suites, the hotel will feature an outdoor terrace pool (with the vibrant pool scene for which The Standard is known), the most advanced gym in Bangkok offering memberships to the local community and meeting / event rooms. As with all Standard hotels, there will be a dynamic array of restaurant, lounge, bar and nightlife offerings including the first international outpost of the renown Standard Grill and Thailand’s first outpost of the acclaimed Mott 32. In addition to the restaurants themselves, The Parlor will be a constant hub of music and activity offering snacks and cocktails while the fantasy filled tea room will offer treats found nowhere else in Bangkok. The rooftop will house Ojo, a Mexican inspired restaurant directed by one of the finest young chefs in Mexico. Visitors will also have access to sweeping views of the city from the highest al fresco sky beach in Bangkok. On the ground floor, the shop will carry a highly curated collection of local and foreign fashion, travel and home goods as well as one of a kind collaborations. All of it will live up to The Standard’s promise to be anything but.

 

This breath-taking new addition to The Standard’s portfolio will sit proudly alongside the brand’s award-winning US and European flagships, The Standard, High Line, and The Standard, London and in perfect counterpoint to The Standard’s waterside retreats in Miami, the Maldives, and Hua Hin, and it’s forthcoming Standard hotel in Ibiza, which is also set to open this Spring.

 

The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon is pleased to introduce its pre-opening offer of 25% discount from Best Available Rate, including breakfast for up to 2 persons.  The offer is available for booking from Feb 4 to Jul 31 for stay period between May 11 and Feb 28, 2023. 

About The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon:

Bangkok’s spirit of innovation and unconventionality made the Thai capital the perfect locale for our Asia flagship, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon. Located in one of the most iconic buildings in the city, the 155-room hotel is already a landmark. With rooms ranging from 40 sqm to a sprawling 144 sqm penthouse, a terrace pool, fitness center and spa, meetings rooms and a dynamic variety of food, drink and nightlife venues, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon is a fit for any traveler, at any time of day or night. There’s the Parlor, the hub of the hotel for check-in and out, cocktails, work or lounging, the eclectic and unexpected Tea Room, American steakhouse classics at The Standard Grill, and award-winning Chinese cuisine, sparkling ambiance and impeccable wine list by Mott 32.

About Standard International (The Standard Hotels):

Created in 1999, The Standard hotels are known for their taste-making clientele, their pioneering design, and their unrelenting un-standard-ness. With 6 hotels in New York, Miami, London, the Maldives, most recently Hua Hin and the upcoming The Standard, Ibiza and the Asia flagship, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon slated to open in May 2022, the goal of every Standard project—be it a city hotel, a seaside resort or a rooftop bar—is to defy conventions, up the aesthetic stakes, and deliver an experience that can only be had at The Standard. The Standard’s unconventional and playful sensibility, combined with a careful consideration of design, detail and service, have established its reputation as a pioneer of hospitality, travel, dining, nightlife, and beyond. Sansiri PLC, Thailand’s leading real estate developer made its first investment into Standard International in late November 2017, which increased over time, making Sansiri PLC the majority stakeholder. www.standardhotels.com @thestandard
