Art Series Hotels Has Introduced World's Latest Checkout

Essentially guests don't have to check out of their room until someone checks in. We think hotels keeping the rooms vacant are a bit of a waste. If people are not using them, why not let guests stay longer - even if it's a few days! Naked have developed a genuine product innovation we're extremely excited by. We're rolling it out over summer - and then we'll see how we go, with the aim to introduce the product during quiet times of the year.

Adam Ferrier, founder of Naked Communications, which has made a series of adverts for the new project, said: "Having to check out by 11.00am is not very cool, especially if no one else needs the room. We've worked with Art Series to rejig the whole thing - and we are really excited to announce the Overstay Checkout. The hotel in effect is giving away something of value to the consumer - late check outs and free overnight stays, whilst at the same time it doesn't cost the hotel anything as its all unsold inventory." The Overstay Checkout operates between December 16th to January 13th, and is open to anyone staying at the hotel. The Art Series Hotel Group has created three boutique hotels in Melbourne in less than a year.

St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc continues to celebrate its commitment to the international sport of polo, participating in spirited polo matches and hosting marquee events for the first time in Abu Dhabi and China, while also revisiting Thailand, Singapore and Argentina. Following the brand’s recent debut in the Middle East, a St. Regis team played an exhilarating match at Pink Polo in Abu Dhabi, held at The Ghantoot Racing & Polo Club on November 10th 2012. In Thailand, the St. Regis Ladies’ team will participate in the Queen Sirikit St.

Regis Pink Polo matches in Pataya on November 17th at the Thai Polo Club. Only last month, the St. Regis USA Team played at the Royal Salute Gold Cup 2012 China Open Polo Tournament, marking the brand’s first foray into polo in China, and St. Regis returned to the Singapore Polo Club in September this year as the official hotel sponsor for the Singapore Open.

“St. Regis has become a leader in the world of polo, and it is exciting to see our programming expand to new vibrant destinations such as Abu Dhabi and China, two regions of significant growth for the brand,” says Paul James, Global Brand Leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “We look forward to furthering St. Regis’ polo legacy and inviting guests to discover remarkable polo experiences around the world.”

St. Regis has long been associated with the world of polo, beginning at the turn of the 20th century when polo matches on Manhattan’s Governors Island were the highlight of the New York social calendar and St. Regis’ founding family, the Astors, were preeminent patrons of the sport. Today, St. Regis continues to share its passion for the ‘Sport of Kings’, providing guests with access to one-off polo experiences throughout the year.

Most recent polo programming includes St. Regis’ first polo event in Abu Dhabi which took place between the 8th and 10th of November, where a St. Regis team played in the Pink Polo match at Ghantoot Racing & Polo Club, supporting one of the most important breast cancer awareness campaigns in the Middle East. Team members and guests met world-renowned Argentinean polo player and St. Regis Connoisseur, Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras during the run-up to the match. Nacho also hosted a private polo experience for Starwood Preferred Guest members at the Ghantoot Racing & Polo Club followed by a lunch hosted at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi as a part of the SPG Moments program, which offers members a series of auctions for exclusive and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Indian Hotels up 3% Orient communicate snubs takeover bid again

It could be third time unlucky for Indian Hotels as rival Orient Express, which operates luxury hotels and trains has turned down its acquisition bid yet again. The Tata’s-owned Indian Hotels, which already holds around 7 percent stake in Orient Express had along with Charme II fund founded by Ferrari Chairman Luca Montezemolo, bid over USD 1.2 billion to acquire the company. Indian Hotels, which operates the Taj Group of Hotels, had offered to pay USD 12.63 a share to buy Orient Express. However, that has been rejected as "unattractive."

"The Indian Hotels' proposal is deeply unattractive from a financial perspective. The board believes the current macro-economic environment, conditions in the luxury hotels business, and factors unique to Orient Express would make this a highly disadvantageous time to sell the company to realize the true value," Orient Express Chairman Robert Lovejoy said in a statement.

Indian Hotels' Vice Chairman RK Krishna Kumar had written a letter to Lovejoy last month explaining the objectives and hinting at an improved offer. But Orient Express says it’s better off as an independent company. Now that it has rejected the offer, will Indian Hotels raise its bid, needs to be seen. According to the Reuters news agency, the company is considering its options now. Analysts have already questioned Indian Hotels' acquisition bid, its third for Orient Express, given the slowdown that has hurt the hotel industry amid the overall global economic downturn and the fact that the company is already struggling financially. The stock has fallen 10 percent since it made its offer last month. The Tata-Group company reported a net loss of Rs 6 core in the second quarter, compared with a profit of Rs 8 core a year ago. Indian Hotels' shares were up 2.7 percent at Rs 65 on NSE in morning trade on Friday. US-listed Orient Express closed down 11 percent at USD 10.55.

Is any innovative in central Vietnam?

Almost 20 years after Banyan Tree conceptualized its flagship Phuket property in an ecologically desolate former tin mine, the pioneering eco-luxe brand launches its first Beautiful Vietnam resort along with three-kilometer beach in Lăng Cô Bay - a holiday spot historically favored by Vietnamese royalty. Banyan Tree Lang Co has 17 beach villas, 32 lagoon villas and 229 condominiums all inspired by feudal-era architecture, plus a lagoon pool, an Angsana spa and an 18-hole championship golf course, and marine and conservation centers, all backed by rugged mountains with views over Vietnam's East Sea. It is close to central Vietnamese highlights such as the My Son Champa ruins, the world's largest known cave passage, Hang Son Dòng, and the ancient trading town of Hoi An.

In Hoi An itself, the culinary capital of the central coast, check out Q Bar Hoi An for sake-vodka cocktails in one of the city's oldest surviving Chinese shop houses.

And just north in Da Nang, Michel Roux's La Maison 1988 opens in an 18th-century mansion in December. Also in the town is the French-run steak-and-lobster joint O De V in a colonial villa near the Han River, for haute dining.

Information about Hanoi's Church Boutique Hotel

Maybe Hanoi’s Church Boutique Hotel heard me complaining about it looking tired and dated when I last passed through here for Travelfish.org, as not only have they opened another hotel on nearby Hang Gai Street, the original Nha Tho location has been completely refurbished — and my jaw hit the floor when I saw the transformation.

Hotels in Hanoi change regularly. Sometimes it’s a name change, other times a bit of tidying up and a paint job, and very occasionally they rip it all out and start again. The Church falls into the latter category. I was assured that the management is still the same, but they have really upped their game.

The building is still the same building, the room layout is the same and the door is still opened by a uniformed doorman, or if you’re as lucky as I was, two of them. But gone are the tatty carpets and the dark wood fittings, to be replaced with mirrored walls, lots of white, large black and white photos and an overall touch of glamour. The designers haven’t got it all right; in my non-interior designer opinion for example, the carpets are too heavy and elaborate and there are a few too many patterns going on, but if you want a change from more traditional Vietnamese style and can’t stand laminated wood wardrobes then this could be the place for you. It’s not quite Maison d’Hanoi but that’s where it’s trying to be.

The heavy use of white and mirrors is definitely an advantage when it comes to the smallest of the rooms; despite their size and having only a small window the rooms don’t feel at all claustrophobic, although they do lack storage. If you want more space, upgrade to a slightly larger room at the front or a suite. Bathrooms are now modern black and white affairs. Some are compact, but still squeeze in a large sink, a big-enough shower cubicles and plenty of fluffy white towels.

The Riva Surya boasts a number of activities inside the hotel. To relax or escape the heat of the city, take a dip in the riverside pool with Jacuzzi. A fitness center with treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical machine, cross fit machine, and weights helps keep guests in shape.
