The expansive property boasts seven dining options including the latest opening - the premium grill-house concept Upper Cut. “From exquisite pan-Asian flavours at Umi.Zaka to the rustic Italian fare at Acquapazza, our distinct concepts cater to all palates,” adds Duval.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">Award Winning Relaxation</h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJlnO-VG-aOAQfdIjaNo6LI6PAGNLYTqd6UitL_Rbnhe_Ro19QIq3VEmZX1_JJSDUl-7-kFlJkmzqEyzj4HuFO6b7Z2uXSRhf1_mMdhiNLLMDcz3-a1K7CNsMJtaEn5Pla22N3iTBpmO3ngonlB5DelqrTqEoY23KnSlDZCqk6xxNRweZ0zhEc8tK-t92j/s1530/Four%20Seasons%20Resort%20Mauritius%20a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="861" data-original-width="1530" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJlnO-VG-aOAQfdIjaNo6LI6PAGNLYTqd6UitL_Rbnhe_Ro19QIq3VEmZX1_JJSDUl-7-kFlJkmzqEyzj4HuFO6b7Z2uXSRhf1_mMdhiNLLMDcz3-a1K7CNsMJtaEn5Pla22N3iTBpmO3ngonlB5DelqrTqEoY23KnSlDZCqk6xxNRweZ0zhEc8tK-t92j/w370-h208/Four%20Seasons%20Resort%20Mauritius%20a.jpg" title="Photo Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita" width="370"></a></div>Recognized for its continued excellence, the Resort’s overwater Spa has been bestowed with Four Stars for its unique concept, combining local organic ingredients with sophisticated skincare products. “Impactful and innovative are our two mantras at the spa,” explains Joelle Jennepy, Senior Director of Spa. “We pride ourselves on curating experiences such that every individual gets a personalised holistic healing.”</div><span></span></div><a href="https://hotel.air101.co.uk/2024/02/four-seasons-resort-mauritius-at.html#more"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you so much for taking our feed, we look forward to you coming back to our site or feed soon. </div>Jason Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04097132229638807046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533316416433867206.post-82428819908489721872023-12-03T15:39:00.004+00:002024-02-25T12:30:21.800+00:00Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa Opens Fully Renovated Spa at Sanibel Harbour<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVz865RZT8V8Di1LYaM2ZpPudMslxT0R3_XborNAbXgdLxmcnzP8joyqQ737P40L65gXc_SPTdZ-3MTUEKOhgnT5OCmJgoon2YpYbF9pjXev4sgJFEJfHBJYTBKSWxDkTVvLy-GuHlnHsvZbuHr2lF5qiaeKizjfUz3HAF3rdbk-uu9Q3NhffU3oj81O6E/s480/Marriott_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="213" data-original-width="480" height="142" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVz865RZT8V8Di1LYaM2ZpPudMslxT0R3_XborNAbXgdLxmcnzP8joyqQ737P40L65gXc_SPTdZ-3MTUEKOhgnT5OCmJgoon2YpYbF9pjXev4sgJFEJfHBJYTBKSWxDkTVvLy-GuHlnHsvZbuHr2lF5qiaeKizjfUz3HAF3rdbk-uu9Q3NhffU3oj81O6E/s320/Marriott_1.jpg" width="320"></a></div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Poppins;"><b>More than a year after Hurricane Ian wreaked destruction on Ft.

From the paintings of Caravaggio and Raphael to the sculptures of Bernini and the films of Federico Fellini – it is the cradle from which all that is best about Italy has emerged. So, the Eternal City was the perfect fit for the opening of the latest EDITION.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Conceived, concepted, and programmed by the visionary entrepreneur, Ian Schrager, executed and interpreted by the hotel owners, Statuto Group, the intimate 91-room Rome EDITION sets a new standard in the Eternal City. Its sophistication, attention to detail, refinement, and high design aesthetic make it set to become a meeting place for Romans and travellers alike. Positioned in one of the most enviable areas of Rome, the hotel is only a few short steps from Via Veneto, the most sought-after street in all of Italy. It was immortalised in La Dolce Vita and embodies Italian flare in all its glory. Not only that – all the major attractions are within easy reach, including the Piazza Barberini, the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the ever-beautiful Borghese Gardens.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Built-in the 1940s and formerly occupied by one of the main Italian banks, the building is a striking example of the rationalist style and was created by Cesare Pascoletti in collaboration with the famed architect Marcello Piacentini. The stunning central staircase of rare cipollino marble from the quarries of Apuane is a testament to their genius. Original features are retained throughout, including the central courtyards and original statues and lamps.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The hotel has three unique bars, a rooftop lounge, bar and pool, a show-kitchen restaurant, a well-appointed urban wellness space with gym and treatment rooms, and a courtyard garden where guests can while away the time sipping their favourite drink or sampling the peerless food menu from adored Roman Chef Paola Colucci, the hotel’s chef partner. The 91 rooms, including 17 suites, have all the design elements the brand is renowned for: the muted tones, the accents of walnut wood and stunning custom-designed furniture.</div><span></span></span></div><a href="https://hotel.air101.co.uk/2023/07/the-rome-edition-redefines-luxury-in.html#more"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you so much for taking our feed, we look forward to you coming back to our site or feed soon. </div>Jason Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04097132229638807046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533316416433867206.post-64659556951320791902023-07-07T21:32:00.005+01:002024-02-25T12:31:57.623+00:00Global Holdings buys Mondrian Park Avenue....

Yes, you too can be like Barbie or Ken or one of their plastic friends at a life-sized Barbie dreamhouse which is opening its doors for overnight stays prior to the "Barbie" movie being released.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apparently, the three-floor mansion in Malibu mansion is an exact replica of the movie set and is available to book for the night on Airbnb and Ken is hosting.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whilst, so termed "Kenergy" is on show here, Barbie’s signature pink remains ever-present throughout the life-size, toy-inspired home, as she’s done her own redecorating since the last time the Malibu DreamHouse was available for guests.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” said Ken. “But now, it’s my turn, and I can’t wait to host guests inside this one-of-a-kind – dare I say, one-of-a-Ken? – digs.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ken is adding hosting to one of his passions in celebration of the release of the highly anticipated BARBIE film, directed by Greta Gerwig, written by Gerwig & Noah Baumbach, and starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrara, Kate McKinnnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Located in sunny Malibu, the oceanfront mansion features panoramic views and serves as the perfect backdrop for Ken’s picture-plastic paradise. Fans will be able to request to book Ken’s bedroom in the Malibu DreamHouse for two individual one-night stays** for up to two guests each on July 21 and July 22, 2023. All stays will be free of charge – because Ken couldn’t figure out how to put a price on Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse – after all, Ken’s thing is beach, not math!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222; text-align: start;">Everyone in Barbie Land can request to book Ken’s room in Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse beginning July 17 at 10:00 AM PT at </span><a href="http://airbnb.com/kendreamhouse" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; text-align: start;">airbnb.com/kendreamhouse</a><span style="color: #222222; text-align: start;">.

This is the company’s second hotel in the Miami airport submarket following the acquisition of the Hyatt Place Miami Airport East in December of 2022 and its tenth hotel in Florida.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1zEj0p0oELQkFgwab24-IIwpnLLDOpIFt0AVDMez4SiiinqzdM1nlrltTH31WElh2zbjaqNDr2KOueMlNO9y-9RcTETyXG3UPLzR4sms2rfK9wgg2fpEEVexyQrqtTSKI5NhP2Rxp6Fh5o7OUBmlJPnSLMDA3ysV-kF0mT32WQGaTeYK-BO_K7hwp0nu4/s1200/facebook_profile_image%20(2).png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1zEj0p0oELQkFgwab24-IIwpnLLDOpIFt0AVDMez4SiiinqzdM1nlrltTH31WElh2zbjaqNDr2KOueMlNO9y-9RcTETyXG3UPLzR4sms2rfK9wgg2fpEEVexyQrqtTSKI5NhP2Rxp6Fh5o7OUBmlJPnSLMDA3ysV-kF0mT32WQGaTeYK-BO_K7hwp0nu4/s320/facebook_profile_image%20(2).png" width="320"></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">MIA is the busiest airport for international passengers and international freight in the U.S. and provides a hub for over 90 air carriers. International traffic continues to ramp back up following the pandemic and overall passenger volume through MIA was up over 10% in 2022 compared to 2019 based on the latest data available. And with a $5 billion capital improvement and expansion plan underway, it’s only going to get busier.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tourism remains the top industry in “the 305,” but it is also home to the largest concentration of international banks in the U.S., as well as many major Fortune 500 companies. With its prime location near the airport, the Blue Lagoon business park has over four million square feet of office space and serves as the headquarters for nationally recognized names including Burger King and Lennar, as well serving as the Latin American headquarters for Sony, Airbus, Novartis, Hasbro, Estée Lauder and Olympus.</div><div data-gyg-partner-id="XSB4OWE" data-gyg-widget="auto"></div><span></span><a href="https://hotel.air101.co.uk/2023/02/mcr-4th-largest-hotel-owner-operator-in.html#more"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you so much for taking our feed, we look forward to you coming back to our site or feed soon. </div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
