HOTELS magazine’s Post

Issue No.49 of Hotel SPACE magazine has arrived! Inside, the partners at 1508 London provide insights into leading a successful design firm from three perspectives, whilst one Italian hotelier reminds us that authenticity is at the heart of luxury hospitality, and Casa Collective’s Managing Director shares their plans and ambitions for growth. As the most fashionable face in hospitality, NO UNIFORM’s founder and creative director shares the intricacies of dressing those who welcome us into some of the world’s finest hotels. Meanwhile, the visionary behind the newly opened The St. Regis Red Sea Resort discusses the property’s nature driven design. Our exploration of the world's hottest hotel openings took us to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s second property in London, The Store in the historic town centre of Oxford, and Autograph Collection’s Lissoni & Partners designed Dorothea Hotel in Budapest, which makes a curious backdrop for our cover. We also checked into Gundari’s first resort on the island of Folegandros, explored the unique t’Huys wing at Amsterdam’s Hôtel de l'Europe, before heading over to Tokyo for a look at Hotel Toranomon Hills - Unbound Collection by Hyatt. With sleep tourism on the rise, we close the issue by rounding up the best of the best for a perfect night’s sleep in our Suite Dreams supplement.

𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧: 𝐀 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Milan is increasingly recognized as an international hub for tourism and major events like Fashion Week, the Salone del Mobile, and the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics. This has driven the city's luxury hotel market to expand, bringing Milan closer to Europe’s top capitals in hospitality offerings. New high-end hotels are set to open in the coming months and years, each adding to Milan's appeal. Highlights include: 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥: Opening in 2025 in the historic Palazzo Branca and Palazzo della Banca Commerciale, featuring 70 rooms, 20 suites, and a sophisticated design by Studio K.O. 𝐒𝐨𝐡𝐨 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞: Set to open in a 1930s building between Piazza San Babila and Corso Indipendenza, this exclusive private club will offer 50 rooms, a rooftop pool, and a members-only experience. 𝐖 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥: Launching in late 2025, this Marriott property will feature 166 rooms, including 36 suites, and a rooftop bar designed by Stefano Boeri. 𝐒𝐢𝐱 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐨: Opening in late 2025 in Via Brera, this luxury hotel will join the ranks of the city’s elite accommodations, operated by IHG Hotels & Resorts. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥: Swiss designer Philippe Plein’s debut in hospitality, set in Palazzo Melzi d'Eril, promises an ultra-exclusive experience with just 18 suites. 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐚 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐚: A new luxury lifestyle hotel by Marriott International, opening in Q3 2024, with a design by Patricia Urquiola and a gourmet restaurant led by chef Andrea Berton. Milan’s hotel scene is evolving rapidly, reflecting its growing status as a key destination for global travelers. Having lived in Milan for several years, I’ve witnessed the city’s remarkable transformation year after year. The arrival of increasingly prominent brands, the rising property values across more and more neighborhoods, the improving family services in both quality and quantity, and the expanding cultural opportunities—all speak to Milan’s continuous evolution. As mentioned earlier, several luxury hotels are set to open, yet none have fully tapped into the high-spending, loyalty-driven family segment. Many foreign families visit Italy, exploring multiple cities within a few days. Imagine an immersive experience that spans Milan, Verona, Bergamo, and Como—all designed with families in mind. A Grand Hotel offering top-tier services, with tailored daily excursions to nearby tourist spots, creating a journey worth sharing. Hotels may be rated by stars, but they thrive on memories and unforgettable moments—especially when shared by the entire family. #Milan #LuxuryTravel #Hospitality #Tourism #LuxuryHotels #FamilyTravel

Great Article about one of our customers, Fairmont Banff Springs, on how serious they are about the guest experience. Leveraging our technology UrVenue has helped them deliver. Here is a great out take that mentions us; To circle back to the notion of an elevated experience via amenities like an exclusive lounge and access to a world-class spa, what Resch also highlighted as critical for giving Fairmont Gold customers maximum value for their time is the nature by which they book people into these on-prem experiences so that no hotel guest is disappointed. Similar to spa appointments, another unforgettable experience would be to golf course that snakes around the river valley, and yet wouldn’t it be a shame if a guest were to miss out because the tee time they wanted was no longer available? To fulfill this need in as frictionless a manner as possible, the team is testing out a property experience management system (PXMS) that can act as a one-stop shop and itinerary planner for guests with connections into Opera, OpenTable (restaurants), Shiji Concept (golf) and Book4Time (spa and activities). This way the hotel can deliver even more convenience on top of the other amenities catering to this modern shift. Regardless of the technology, it always comes back to the experience, and for this alone the new renovation helps keep this historic property in line with the latest luxury trends and set for many years to come in showing guests the very best of Canada. https://lnkd.in/gqwvkW-z

There are so many hotel brands that it is hard even for professionals in the industry to understand what they stand for. So instead of a hotel review that typically assesses whether a hotel is good or not, I decided to do a brand review to see if a brand matches up to its key promise. Have a read of my first brand review; it’s on Pan Pacific Hotel London where I stayed on a trip last year. If you have suggestions on what other areas should be covered in a brand review, ping me please. https://lnkd.in/geAbKym9 #panpacifichotels #hotelbrands

An advantage for independently owned hotels. Larger hotel groups appear to face greater challenges in achieving this. Constraints tend to arise from the organization itself and its culture, as well as the sheer size of the group with regard to the number of properties, the geographic spread and range of locations. This often results in a ‘cookie-cutter’ approach, with the individual hotel conveying the brand’s identity as one element of sense of place, but at the expense of place identity.
