New hotels of 2023

Posted on January 19, 2023January 19, 2023 by Al Slinn

After 2 and a half years of closed borders, we are not surprised to see a bunch of new hotels opening around the world. 2023 will be the inaugurating year of some pretty spectacular properties. Needless to say, newly-opened hotels are one of our favorite topics! So, let’s take a look at Europe’s most-anticipated new hotels of 2023, according to this article by Vogue.

Le Grand Mazarin, Paris

The 26 MostAnticipated New Hotels of 2023

Soon to arrive in the heart of the Marais is Le Grand Mazarin, a Martin Brudnizki-designed hotel that features 17th-century-inspired decor.

Rosewood, Munich

The 132-room Rosewood Munich is set across two historic buildings: the first, the former State Bank of Bavaria. The second, the Palais Neuhaus-Preysing.

Hotel Vermelho, Melides, Portugal

Christan Louboutin has long considered Melides as his creative respite. So now, he wants others to consider it theirs, too. This spring, he will finally open up a 13-room boutique hotel in partnership with Marugal.

Son Bunyola Hotel, Mallorca

This summer, Richard Branson will open a new hotel in Mallorca, set upon an 810-acre estate in the Serra de Tramontana. That’s amazing news for us, as Mallorca is one of our top destinations for summer events.

Bulgari, Rome

It’s a homecoming for Bulgari with the opening of the Bulgari Rome, which will be the brand’s first hospitality project in the very city they were founded in.

The OWO, London

The “Old War Office” in London, which acted as Churchill’s headquarters during World War II, gets a second life this year as Raffles’s first hotel in the United Kingdom. That’s pretty impressive stuff!

100 Princes Street, Edinburgh

100 Princes Street, whose name is a nod to their illustrious address on one of Edinburgh’s most famous streets, will have interiors inspired by Alexander McQueen.

La Fantaisie, Paris

La Fantaisie will open this spring in the heart of Paris’s 9th arrondissement. Its interiors are to be inspired by nature. That’s why ornate walls and ceilings are adorned with floral wallpaper, whereas guest rooms are swathed in soft greens and yellows.

Six Senses, Rome

For their new Rome hotel, Six Senses restored parts of a Roman 15th-century compound. Sounds like a property really worth a visit.

The Edition, Rome

A short walk to the Trevi Fountain is the Rome Edition, which will be the first Italian property of Ian Schrager’s luxury hotel brand.

A new Mandarin Oriental hotel

Posted on June 23, 2022June 23, 2022 by Al Slinn

In almost twenty years of event management, we have definitely learned one thing: accommodation is key for the success of an event. We spend a considerable amount of time searching and visiting properties while always being on the lookout for new openings. That’s why we were so excited to hear about the opening of a new Mandarin Oriental hotel in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.

As this article on hospitalitynet.org explains, Mandarin Oriental has signed a long term management agreement to rebrand and manage the historic Hotel Cristallo. The property will undergo a substantial renovation, re-opening as a Mandarin Oriental resort just before the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympic games.

Mandarin Oriental Cristallo will be the Group’s first alpine resort and expands Mandarin Oriental’s presence further in Italy. The property sits above the most recognized mountain village in the Dolomites, a short walk away from Cortina d’Ampezzo, known as the ‘Queen of the Dolomites’. Venice Marco Polo Airport is reachable in one and a half hours by car.

Hotel Cristallo was built in 1901 by the Menardi family and was a popular ski destination in the 1930s for the European cultured elite. After the Olympic Games of 1956 the Hotel entered its “golden era”, hosting royals and celebrities, including Peter Sellers, Frank Sinatra, Saul Bellow and Vladimir Nabokov. It has featured as a backdrop for a number of award-winning films, maintaining its historical charm as an early 20^th century grand hotel.

On re-opening as Mandarin Oriental Cristallo, the hotel will feature 83 guestrooms including 30 spacious suites with beautiful views of the Dolomites. The property will also feature a range of restaurants and bars, flexible spaces for entertainment and events, as well as an extensive spa and wellness facility, which includes a swimming pool that transverses from inside to outside the building.

New event venue: the Labrador hotel, Chamonix

Although we have been based in the Chamonix valley since 2004, there is always some exciting, new event venue to discover. And one thing is certain: we do love it when a property turns out to be brilliant for our clients! We recently took a corporate group to the Labrador hotel in Chamonix and they absolutely loved it. So much so that they are looking to come back next year already!

The Labrador Hotel is ideally situated on the prestigious Chamonix Golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior, facing Mont Blanc and located just 300 m from the Flégère cable car. The hotel is located only 250 meters from the Flégère ski lift and only 3 km from the centre of Chamonix and the Aiguille du Midi cable car, giving you access to the prestigious Chamonix ski area and its 163 km of slopes. The property benefits from an exceptional natural environment with a southern exposure facing the Mont-Blanc, at the gates of the Aiguilles Rouges natural reserve. The Labrador hotel welcomes you with a breathtaking view of the Mont Blanc and the Drus for a romantic getaway, a family stay or a professional seminar in the Chamonix valley.

After a strenuous day of skiing or hiking you can enjoy the wellness area from 4 – 9.30pm: Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and multi-jet shower. Massages and treatments are available on appointment.

At the Labrador hotel you will find a professional team whose purpose is the smooth running of your stay. A warm and smiling welcome in an authentic and comfortable setting will make your stay an unforgettable experience!
