Baccarat hotel Rome set to open in 2025

Written by Leandro Agostini on October 12, 2022. Posted in Destination news, Hotel.

Baccarat hotel Rome set to open in 2025

October 12 2022 –

SH Hotels & Resorts, the hotel brand management company founded by hospitality visionary Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group, and Boscalt Hospitality, the real estate hospitality firm investing in key European cities founded by Liza Masias and Jaume Tapies, today announced their plans to reimagine the Eternal City’s landmark Hotel Majestic under the French luxury house Baccarat.

Baccarat hotel Rome

Set to open in late 2025 following a complete restoration, the property will epitomize Baccarat’s unparalleled beauty to enchant the senses with lavish finishes and flourishes and exquisite attention to detail. Baccarat Hotel Rome is poised to set a new standard for glamor and luxury in the Italian capital as a social and cultural hub. It is yet another expression in the ultra-luxe hospitality sphere of the world-renowned Baccarat brand, a name associated for over 250 years with enchanting, luminous objets d’art coveted by kings and queens, sultans and maharajas, movie stars and rock stars alike. The French house has always shared the art of celebrating worlds of joy, light and pleasure.

“We are pleased to partner with Boscalt Hospitality, a member of the Edmond de Rothschild Private Equity Partnership, to bring the Baccarat brand to Rome, which will forever be the Eternal City for the world’s most sophisticated explorers and travelers,” said Barry Sternlicht, Chairman of SH Hotels & Resorts. “This dynamic modern metropolis is not just one of the most cherished travel destinations in the world, but it has been a preeminent global political, artistic, spiritual, and cultural capital since the classical era. At Baccarat Hotel Rome, we will revive and restore the glamor and sophistication of an iconic luxury landmark by delivering a level of service and attention to detail that will delight guests and local residents alike.”

Like the Baccarat Hotel brand, the property’s history embodies opulence and style. From its 1889 grand opening as the first luxury hotel built on the fashionable Via Veneto, overlooking the Piazza Barberini and within walking distance of the Spanish Steps, the distinguished property hosted a steady stream of royals, nobles, politicians, celebrities, and sophisticated travelers as their preferred Roman Holiday headquarters for over a century. From 1960, after its stylish Bar Ninfa played a starring role in Federico Fellini cinema classic “La Dolce Vita,” the property took on a renewed allure as a symbol of Italy’s vibrant and seductive post-war prosperity.

The hotel will be refashioned into 83 spacious rooms and suites. Public amenities include three grand dining rooms with the main restaurant featuring an expansive terrace with sweeping views across Via Veneto, an intimate cocktail bar, an elegantly appointed rooftop bar, state-of-the-art meeting and conference spaces and a full-service spa and fitness facility. The redesign will retain the iconic property’s panache by architect Gaetano Koch, celebrated author of its widely admired “piano” profile, while introducing a crisp, contemporary style.

“We are proud to collaborate with the dynamic design team at Baccarat in redefining and repositioning a historic property with a contemporary flair that pays respectful tribute to the cultural and artistic heritage of an ancient yet modern imperial city,” said Boscalt Hospitality co-founder Liza Masias. “We look forward to the property’s transformation into an emblematic luxury hotel that resonates with and reflects the artistic, historical, and architectural treasures of Rome.”

Boscalt co-founder Jaume Tapies added, “It is incredibly exciting to be introducing, together with SH Hotels & Resorts, the Baccarat brand to the ultimate urban experience of Rome. As we celebrate the restoration and preservation of the Hotel Majestic’s iconic legacy as the preeminent hub of the fashionable Via Veneto, we’re proud to pay tribute to the remarkable resiliency of one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations. In the coming years, we expect that timeless allure to grow.”“

On completion, Baccarat Hotel Rome will elegantly showcase the exquisite refinement and edgy energy of a simultaneously timeless and trendy city, one as forever famed for the passionate pulse of its spirited nightlife as for being a source of endless inspiration for artists, musicians, political, spiritual and cultural leaders, past, present and future.

Novotel Devonport opens in Tasmania

October 11 2022 –

The doors have officially opened at Novotel Devonport, north Tasmania’s most anticipated hotel launch for 2022. The perfectly positioned hotel boasts an unrivalled waterfront location overlooking the Mersey River, just a stone’s throw from the Spirit of Tasmania terminal, and offers guests a selection of 187 spacious, beautifully appointed accommodation options, including standard, superior and deluxe guestrooms with a choice of city or river views, along with a selection of luxurious executive suites.

Novotel Devonport

Accor Pacific CEO, Sarah Derry, said: “It is an exciting time for Devonport; the city is on the verge of a tourism boom, with several major infrastructure works underway to revitalise the city. Novotel Devonport represents one of the most significant tourism investments in the region in years in the bustling coastal city of Devonport. Regional Tasmania holds great appeal for visitors and the presence of Novotel Devonport will contribute to the region’s ability to attract conferences and events. Novotel Devonport is a celebration of innovative interior design, thoughtful detail and will provide a great culinary experience, caring for guests and the local community.”

Interiors at the hotel are timeless and classic, with a neutral colour palette inspired by the natural beauty of Tasmania. Warm accents of red and yellow, seen in the leather and fabric upholstery of decorative furniture pieces, add depth and visual interest and all rooms feature a striking mural of north-west Tasmanian scenery by local photographer Nuala Byrne above the bedhead.

The Lyons Architecture-designed hotel was conceptualised to act as an iconic horizontal land bridge, visually connecting the Mersey River to the city of Devonport. The hotel seemingly floats above its parkland setting as a striking elevated structure propped on sculptural columns. Coinciding with the hotel’s debut is the opening of the Good Guy restaurant and bar, which is set to become Devonport’s newest gourmet destination. Diners will experience flavour-filled Southeast Asian street-food with a cheeky modern twist, utilising the best of Tasmanian produce.

The hotel also features 24-hour room service, 24-hour fitness centre, a meeting room for up to 20 delegates, and direct access to the paranaple convention centre. Novotel has one of the largest hotel brand footprints across Australia and New Zealand, with more than 40 hotels in key metropolitan and leisure destinations. The brand’s global reputation for intuitive, modern design and rewarding guest experiences will make Novotel Devonport a popular attraction in the city, with quality accommodation offerings despite being a major gateway for tourism and trade.

The bustling coastal city of Devonport is uniquely accessible by both land and sea. It is a gateway to Tasmania’s picturesque northwest region and beyond, with a bounty of fresh produce on its doorstep and plenty to explore right in town. For visitors arriving into Devonport on the Spirit of Tasmania, Novotel Devonport will act as a marker of the city, sitting with the paranaple convention centre and waterfront parkland as a new gateway to Devonport.

Opening Special: Be among the first to experience Novotel Devonport by taking advantage of its opening special fromUSD 269* per night in a Standard King Room, including 2-course dinner for two at Good Guy (food only) and buffet breakfast.

RIU Hotels Mexico and opens its third resort

Written by Leandro Agostini on October 10, 2022. Posted in Destination news, Hotel.

RIU Hotels Mexico and opens its third resort

October 10 2022 –

RIU Hotels & Resorts just inaugurated its third hotel in Costa Mujeres: the Riu Latino. The chain, which is celebrating its 25th Anniversary in Mexico this year, now has 21 hotels at the six most popular beach destinations in the country, as well as in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

RIU Hotels Mexico

The Riu Latino, a five-star establishment with 24-hour all-inclusive services, offers all guests the amenities and facilities of Riu Classic Hotels, but with the added value of the exclusive service for which the adults-only resorts are known. Until now, it was reserved only for Riu Palace hotels.

Among its 594 rooms, guests will be able to choose from standard double rooms to suites with views to the Caribbean Sea, as well as luxury swim-out rooms with private pools. The rooms will have a fresh, understated style with natural, light colours, inviting guests to disconnect and enjoy the tranquillity the destination has to offer.

As it is usually the case with RIU, there is a wide variety of culinary offerings at Riu Latino, prepared to indulge all palates. The hotel has a total of six restaurants: the main restaurant Moctezuma; an Italian restaurant Milan, an Asian restaurant called Geisha; a steak house offering up the best meat; a gourmet restaurant, Kulinarium; and Pepe’s Food, a grill buffet. It also has five bars: the lounge bar Mariachi, with a terrace; the lobby bar Velvet; a 24-hour sports bar; and our pool bars Tequila and Mezcal, the latter being a swim-up bar.

The outdoor space offers guests a total of five pools, in addition to Splash Water World Water Park. They can also unwind at the wellness centre Renova Spa, where guests have a beauty and hair salon as well as a massage service available to them.

Guests are also guaranteed to be entertained. Located on the beachfront of Bahía Mujeres, they will have the opportunity to go out on a catamaran, try kayaking and take a beginners’ scuba course in the pool. To round out the fun, club Pacha is open from 11:00 pm to 2:00 am, and guests can also revel in the various parties taking place at the hotel: Foam Fest, Silent Disco and Beach Party.

Starting in December, Riu Latino guests will also be able to enjoy the famous Riu Party events at Riu Dunamar. The Riu Get Together Party will be held in the hotel theatre every Friday, alternating between the White Party and Neon Party themes, so all guests in this destination can enjoy one of the chain’s star products.

With the opening of this new hotel, RIU is complementing its hotels in Costa Mujeres, joining Riu Palace Costa Mujeres and Riu Dunamar, both 3 kilometres from the new hotel. The Riu Latino is 16 kilometres from Cancun, where archaeology and history lovers can discover the wonders of Maya culture. The international airport is 33 kilometres away with great connections to get to the hotel. The Riu Latino will not be the chain’s last new hotel in Mexico this year, as the new Riu Palace Kukulkan is expected to open in November.

October 10 2022 –

The first six-star hotel in eastern Taiwan, Le Meridien Hualien Resort, is set to launch by the end of the year and is now hiring to gear up for international tourists after a full border reopening.

Six star hotel in east Taiwan

The hotel in Hualien City started construction in 2017 and was initially slated to open in late 2018. However, the launch has been delayed three times for various reasons, including its cautious impact assessment of the COVID-19 outbreak on the travel and tourism sector.

It will be the design-focused international hotel brand’s second hotel in Taiwan after its debut. The hotel page can be found on the Marriott website.

Aside from 260 guest rooms, the building will be equipped with a shopping mall, a business center, a fitness center, an outdoor pool, an indoor hot spring facility, a spa center, some entertainment facilities, restaurants, wedding and banquet venues, and a massive parking space.

Media reported the hotel is posting wanted ads at the 104 job search network for a wide range of positions, including front desk operators, guest service agents, housekeepers, chefs, fitness coach, pool guard, security, and some management positions.

The hotel is said to be undergoing the final touches in some of its public areas and is expected to open by the end of the year. The upscale hotel is conveniently located just 600 meters away from Dongdamen Tourist Night Market and large parks are within walking distance.

Fuji Speedway Hotel

October 7, 2022 – Fuji Speedway Hotel Debuts as The First Hotel in The Unbound Collection

announced today the opening of Fuji Speedway Hotel in Shizuoka, Japan, the first property within The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in Japan, introducing the first of a planned compilation of one-of-a-kind, story-worthy hotels into the country. Flanked by the breathtaking vista of Mount Fuji and the adrenaline-fueled Fuji Speedway race circuit, the hotel—one of several attractions in the new Fuji Motorsports Forest project developed by the Toyota Group—will offer a truly distinctive experience where motorsports meet luxury hospitality.

Fuji Speedway Hotel setting

Set against the stunning backdrop of Mount Fuji, about 80 minutes by car from Tokyo, the hotel is adjacent to the historic Fuji Speedway motor racing circuit, which hosts world-class racing events, and offers a unique opportunity to fully experience the excitement of motorsports. The hotel also houses the Fuji Motor Sports Museum, which showcases about 40 story-worthy and era-defining racing cars dating from the end of the 19th century – an exclusive space where guests can learn and be immersed in the history and culture of this exciting sport.

Fuji Speedway Hotel features 120 stylish accommodations, including 21 spacious suites, all with private balconies offering breathtaking views of Fuji Speedway race circuit or Mount Fuji. They also include five dog-friendly villas that feature individual private garages with floor-to-ceiling windows on one side for proud owners to admire their vehicles while in residence. The interiors of all rooms are complemented by sophisticated finishes, from buttery leather to marble detailing, and the spa-like bathrooms include deep-soaking tubs.

Tomohide Yamamura, President of Toyota Fudosan, commented, “Fuji Speedway Hotel epitomizes the brand’s hallmark for worldly, unforgettable memories, and I believe it is the brand that best encapsulates the appeal of the Fuji Motorsports Forest. We hope this hotel will become a place loved by people all over Japan and across the world.”

Added David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, “We are truly honored that Toyota Fudosan Co., Ltd., an affiliate of the Toyota Group, has chosen Hyatt and The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand as a key component of their Fuji Motorsports Forest project – the first hotel that Toyota has developed in collaboration with Hyatt. With the much-anticipated reopening of Japan’s borders, Fuji Speedway Hotel will provide overseas visitors and local residents with a memorable, one-of-a-kind experience, blending the excitement of motorsports and the luxury of a boutique hotel in the beautiful countryside.”

The hotel features two restaurants serving authentic local fare, a bar and an all-day dining lounge, all with stylish interiors celebrating the golden age of motorsports:

TROFEO, an all-day Italian trattoria-style eatery with outdoor terraces and private rooms, and a casual lobby lounge with breathtaking views of Mount Fuji.
Robata Oyama, offering an interactive Japanese dining experience where premium meat, fresh seafood, and seasonal vegetables are grilled to perfection at the central show kitchen.
Bar 4563, an atmospheric, speakeasy-style bar with an outdoor terrace; motor enthusiasts will enjoy identifying the many model cars that line its walls. Its menu includes crafted cocktails and a range of premium Japanese whiskeys.

Guests can also revitalize their mind, body and soul at Omika Wellness & Spa, a sanctuary dedicated to health and wellbeing that includes an indoor pool, a spa, indoor and outdoor hot spring onsens, and a spacious fitness center. In another nod to motorsports fans, the fitness center boasts a state-of-the-art driving simulator designed for professional race car drivers, but accessible for guests.　

With its unique location adjacent to Fuji Speedway, inspiring interiors, and a diverse range of facilities, Fuji Speedway Hotel is an ideal choice for gatherings big or small, from a board meeting for eight, to a conference for up to 310 people. It offers two unique, pillar-less venues: a ballroom and function room with a show kitchen and VIP room, spanning over 5,597 square feet (520 square meters).

Nearby, guests can enjoy a wide range of natural attractions and outdoor activities. The main attraction is undoubtedly Mount Fuji, an UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Site that is home to sacred venues of artistic inspiration over the centuries. These include the Fuji Sengen-jinja shrines, the Shiraito-no-taki waterfalls, and the Fujigoko five lakes that surround the foot of the mountain. Also close by is Mishima Skywalk, Japan’s longest suspension footbridge, and an open-air premium outlet shopping mall.

World of Hyatt Gives Members 500 Reasons to Stay Somewhere New

To provide World of Hyatt members even more ways to be rewarded, World of Hyatt is offering members the opportunity to earn 500 Bonus Points for qualifying nights at Fuji Speedway Hotel, from October 7, 2022 to January 31, 2023, as part of World of Hyatt’s new hotel member offer.

IHG^® Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hospitality companies, today announces the signing of a Multi-Development-Agreement (MDA) with Solutions4Hotels GmbH (S4H), a commitment to develop 10 hotels of the Holiday Inn brand family with approximately 800 rooms in Germany. IHG and S4H have also signed Holiday Inn Express Leipzig South as part of the MDA.

IHG in Germany expands in Germany

The agreement is part of an extensive mixed-used development project in 10 locations which also includes the development of premium service stations and restaurants. Each site will feature a futuristic service station including electric charging, a petrol station with sustainable fuel solutions, a hotel, and a high-quality F&B offer. The building sites are conveniently located along Germany’s main motorways, all in close proximity to large cities.

Popular amongst owners, IHG’s Holiday Inn brand family was chosen as the ideal hotel concept for this nationwide project. Holiday Inn Express Leipzig South is the second signing within the MDA, following the signing of Holiday Inn Express Hamburg South in 2020.

Holiday Inn Express Leipzig South – an example of sustainable construction

As part of a modern and future-proof development concept, Holiday Inn Express Leipzig South will have a strong focus on sustainability which is already deeply ingrained in the construction plans of the building. All rooms are planned as a wooden modular built, and the hotel will run on geothermal heating and feature solar panels for energy production which will be fed back into the hotel’s circuit system.

The hotel is planned with 79 rooms and is expected to open towards the end of 2023. It will feature a modern breakfast area with complimentary breakfast, 24-hour reception, free WIFI, and a marketplace with snacks, drinks and other non-food items. Guest can also make use of a communal co-working space located within the building.

The hotel will offer 80 rooms and guest can expect the same facilities and amenities – complimentary breakfast, free WIFI, 24-hour reception, marketplace – as at its new sister hotel in Leipzig. Already in construction, the hotel is expected to open by summer 2023.

At IHG Hotels & Resorts, we are committed to help shape the future of responsible travel together with those who stay, work and partner with us. This commitment as part of our 10-year responsible business plan, Journey to Tomorrow, also extends to the way we build new hotels, and the Holiday Inn Express Leipzig South is a great example of sustainable construction. We know that S4H and their development partner share this passion, and we look forward to working together on the many new projects that are yet to come.”

(Mr) Rainer Werdel, Managing Director at Solutions4Hotels GmbH added, “We are delighted that we could win IHG Hotels & Resorts as hotel partner for this project. The idea to expand our partnership to 10 locations in Germany was born following the signing of Holiday Inn Express Hamburg South. We believe that with IHG’s market expertise, international name recognition and a shared commitment to responsible travel, we can set ourselves up for long-term success.”

IHG has 91^* hotels in Germany, of which 79 belong to the Holiday Inn brand family. The company has 25^* hotels in the pipeline in Germany.

Fairfield by Marriott

October 5, 2022 Six new Fairfield by Marriott properties are set to join the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio in key business & leisure destinations including France, Denmark, and Saudi Arabia

Marriott International, Inc., today announced plans to debut the Fairfield by Marriott^® brand in Europe and the Middle East by late 2023. Fairfield is the second largest brand within Marriott Bonvoy’s^® extraordinary portfolio of 30 hotel brands, with a global footprint of more than 1,230 open hotels.

Fairfield by Marriott

“We are thrilled to launch Fairfield by Marriott in Europe and the Middle East, continuing the growth of this trusted brand,” said Eric Jacobs, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, Select Brands. “Fairfield is celebrated with a unique legacy in the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. Built on principles of warmth, comfort, and simplicity, Fairfield hotels provide quality and reliability that travelers can look forward to globally.”

Fairfield celebrates the beauty of simplicity with an effortless hotel experience focused on bringing value, productivity, and a great night’s sleep. Inspired by the heritage of the Marriott family farm, Fairfield pays homage to the restorative place built on the feelings of pure joy and natural ease. Fairfield properties globally offer a design aesthetic that is both calm and modern. Within Europe and the Middle East, the design has been interpreted to reflect the locale of the hotel. The European design is inspired by Scandinavian style, which offers a light and bright aesthetic, and the Middle East properties are expected to have a layout tailored for the region, including prayer rooms and Qibla directional signage.

Each hotel’s public areas will serve as flexible social spaces to share and connect with other travelers, or simply to relax. Guests can expect a harmonious balance of functionality, comfort, and enriching décor, with the use of natural materials, and carefully selected amenities. Each guestroom will feature comfortable beds, a shower and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The Social Market food and beverage concept will offer a complimentary healthy breakfast that provides a nutritious start to the day, and in selected hotels, guests can enjoy a selection of cold and hot à la carte items in the evening. Guests can also grab what they need from the convenient 24/7 market, fully stocked with snacks and beverages.

Hilton Singapore Orchard Introduces ‘Smart Oasis’ Function Space

Written by Leandro Agostini on October 3, 2022. Posted in Destination news, Hotel.

Hilton Singapore Orchard Introduces ‘Smart Oasis’ Function Space

October 03 2022 –

Hilton Singapore Orchard introduces the Smart Oasis, a unique meeting space located on Level 5 of the hotel that comprises seven function rooms and two breakout areas designed for inspiring events.

Hilton Singapore Orchard

Perfectly timed to support the recovery of Singapore’s Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Events (MICE) industry, Hilton Singapore Orchard, the largest Hilton Hotel in Asia Pacific, is one of Asia’s best new destinations for MICE in the heart of Orchard Road.
Boasting 16 highly versatile event spaces spanning over 2,400 square metres, along with two pillarless ballrooms and 1,080 refurbished rooms and suites, Hilton Singapore Orchard is the newest of Singapore’s three largest hotel and MICE facilities in terms of keys and events capabilities. Its premier address, extensive room inventory, exceptional 790 square metre Executive Lounge and collection of world-class dining destinations make Hilton Singapore Orchard the ideal venue for business and social gatherings as the world rebalances post-Covid and the region reopens.

Cedric Nubul, general manager, Hilton Singapore Orchard, said, “Along with the new Smart Oasis, our state-of-the-art MICE facilities and talented team are innovating new ways for groups to connect, collaborate and celebrate. Deemed as one of the best new meeting venues in Asia, we aspire to set a new benchmark for delivering events experiences that are sustainable, low on waste and high on impact, value and creativity.”

During the hotel’s extensive SG $150 million renovation, an entire level that was formerly a carpark was creatively converted into the hotel’s signature Smart Oasis, a unique meeting space that is perfectly designed for event goers to come together for collaboration and connection.

Developed by internationally acclaimed design firm Avalon Collective who is responsible for much of the hotel’s design, Smart Oasis is also inspired by the Orchard Trail Experience, incorporating cutting-edge technology and natural elements with modern design that pays homage to the precinct’s plantation history. The central space at its heart has been thoughtfully designed to bring nature inside with a dry garden and a Barrisol stretch ceiling to simulate the feeling of natural light.

Cedric Jaccard, creative director, Avalon Collective, said, “In designing the Smart Oasis experience, our team was keenly aware that there is more business done during the breakout session than in the meeting room. As such we designed a space focused on the time between meetings to create an oasis for guests to meet with purpose and connect with each other.”

Large with a residential feel, Smart Oasis is a flexible, porous space that allows customisable experiences for any number of events, including business meetings, exhibitions and product launches. The location is ideal for boardroom meetings or mid-scale business seminars for up to 185 guests with seven separate conference rooms and breakout spaces. Meeting rooms are named after different local tree species such as Tembusu, Ficus, Rhu and Mahogany, and are equipped with the latest technology including oversized LED screens for hybrid meetings and screenings. The majority of rooms offer two LED screens for additional content and flexibility, custom-built conference tables with built-in plugs and USB ports and ergonomic chairs.

Radisson Hotel Group achieves record growth year in Greece

September 27 2022 –

Radisson Hotel Group announces a record year of growth for Greece with four signings and three openings to date, leading international development activity in the country.

Radisson Hotel Group Greece

2022 marks an impressive year for the Group as it continues to build on its growing trust from strategic investors and partners. With the signing of two hotels in Athens and two resorts in Mykonos and Skiathos, both of which also opened earlier this year, the Group’s portfolio now stands at seven hotels and resorts with more than 800 rooms in operation and under development.

In recent months, Radisson Hotel Group introduced several of its brands to the Greek market. It announced the signing of its first Radisson RED property in Greece, Radisson RED Mitropoleos Square Athens, set to open in the second half of 2023 and will see the introduction of its upscale lifestyle brand to the country. A conversion of an old office building, the Radisson RED Mitropoleos Square Athens will feature 100 rooms, 150 sqm of meeting space, and a fitness area. An all-day dining restaurant will be located on the ground floor with prime views of the local square. The highlight of the property will be its rooftop bar and restaurant with direct views of the Acropolis in association with a celebrity chef that will be announced in the coming months.

Opening this November, The Social Kolonaki Athens Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals is a new addition to the Group’s growing Radisson Individuals portfolio. The hotel will be the only branded hotel on Voukourestiou Street, the most upscale retail street in the center of Athens. The seven-story hotel with lively, urban interiors to match the hotel’s fashionable location will offer 24 spacious guest rooms and suites, including one presidential suite. The hotel is expected to become a lifestyle destination with a trendy restaurant and bar area on the ground floor, a mezzanine breakfast area, and private dining facilities. The hotel lobby will be the ideal space for all types of art events and social gatherings in the city.

The Group also marked another milestone this year with the expansion of its resort portfolio with the addition of two resorts on the popular islands of Mykonos and Skiathos, joining the other island resort locations of Santorini and Crete where Radisson Hotel Group is already present. Radisson Blu Euphoria Resort, Mykonos opened in May as the Group’s first hotel and the island’s first core international brand in this world-renowned destination. The hotel is located steps from golden Kalo Livadi and features 34 stylish rooms and suites that draw inspiration from the famous whitewashed architecture of the Cyclades. Most rooms offer spectacular views of the bay and the Aegean Sea, including the grand Euphoria Suite with its spacious terrace and private pool. Radisson Resort Plaza Skiathos opened its doors in July and prides itself as the island’s first internationally branded hotel, located at Kanapitsa beach with 84 rooms and suites and decorated in a modern, minimalist style that offer views of the hotel pool or the sea. The resort is also ideally suited for weddings with its own on-site orthodox chapel and versatile outdoor pool area that offers receptions with stunning views.

Radisson Hotel Group currently operates five hotels and resorts in Greece, Radisson Blu Park Hotel in Athens; Radisson Blu Beach Resort, Milatos in Crete; Radisson Blu Zaffron Resort, Santorini; Radisson Blu Euphoria Resort, Mykonos; and Radisson Resort Plaza Skiathos with two more to open in the coming months.

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group comments: “We believe strongly in the potential of the Greek market and its future growth prospects. Following the introduction of three new Radisson Hotel Group brands to the market in 2022, we see even more potential for us to expand together with our owners and investors. We thank our partners for their trust in Radisson Hotel Group.”

Elie Milky, Vice President Business Development adds: “This has been a record year of growth for Radisson Hotel Group in Greece as we lead the market and outpace the competition. Our expansion strategy is well under way, and we are delighted to see tangible results with new signings and openings that enhance our footprint in the country further and contribute to Greece’s tourism development.

New Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun To Open This December

Written by Leandro Agostini on September 26, 2022. Posted in Destination news, Hotel.

New Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun To Open This December

September 26 2022 –

Royalton will open a new hotel in the Riviera Maya this December. The new luxury property will be called Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun and is the latest addition to a growing number of hotel openings in the area
Situated along the Riviera Maya coastline, the all-inclusive, family-friendly resort focuses on entertainment for all ages.

Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun

Travelers headed for a winter vacation to the Riviera Maya this year can look forward to staying at the brand-new Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun. The new resort will be big by Mexican Caribbean standards: with more than 1000 suites, guests will find plenty of amenities within the resort’s expansive premises. Construction of the new resort is quickly wrapping up, and the first guests will be welcomed sometime in late December.

The beachfront resort is conveniently located only 35 minutes east of Cancun International Airport and is close to other tourist hotspots like Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Its tropical surroundings – turquoise waters and palm-tree-lined shores – welcome guests to sit back and relax.
Part of the Autograph Collection by Marriott, Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun is an all-inclusive experience where the fun never stops. Entertainment options are packed into every part of the hotel: From one of the largest waterparks in the Caribbean to an excellent array of bars and restaurants, Royalton Splash is all about offering guests a good time.
Aside from extensive entertainment options, the new resort is also designed with luxury and comfort in mind. Guests can enjoy Royalton’s All-In Luxury service concept, which goes well beyond the all-inclusive offerings of other resorts. Among other things, visitors can access reservation-free dining, bowling, an indoor arcade, a fitness center, and daycare services for younger guests. Not to mention the water park, which comes with 14 monster slides.

The Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun offers guests a range of accommodation options, from unparalleled luxury to more modest comfort. With 9 room types on offer, there’s a little something for everyone. The spacious Luxury Junior Suite is ideal for small families or couples and is complete with either ocean or mangrove views.
Visitors seeking the utmost comfort and luxury can opt for the Luxury Sky Chairman Two Bedroom Ocean Front suite, the property’s most lavish offering. Sleeping up to eight people across two bedrooms, the massive space is meant to give guests expansive views of the surrounding ocean.

However, all rooms come with a private balcony and 24/7 room services. And thanks to the DreamBed technology found in all of the hotel’s beds, guests can get a good night’s rest to help them make the most of their stay.

Visitors can already book a stay at the new resort from December 20 onwards. A 6-night stay in January 2023 will set guests back $2,300 (or $386/night) when choosing the Luxury Junior Suite. A stay of the same duration in the more upscale Luxury Junior Suite Ocean Front room will cost $6,309.

The new resort also offers guests plenty of dining and drink options. There are 12 restaurants and 10 bars to choose from. Focusing on both local and international flavors, guests can enjoy a versatile dining experience during their stay.
Cancun and the Mexican Caribbean have been experiencing a hotel boom in recent times. As international travel continues to bounce back following a two-year hiatus, more hotels and resorts are popping up across the region. In addition to Royalton, AMR is betting heavily on the area, with three new hotels set to open soon. Overall, the Riviera Maya has seen the newest hotel openings, followed by Cancun and Isla Mujeres.
