9. When the table becomes a destination Takeover of the Auberge du Bois Prin by chef Emmanuel Renaut (three stars in Megève at Flocon de Sel) in the Alps, opening of Ô Plum'ART in Giverny by David Gallienne (one star), of Fleur de Loire by Christophe Hay (two stars and Chef of the Year 2021 for Gault&Millau), from the Villa Grand Voile in La Rochelle by Christopher Coutanceau (three stars), more and more chefs are opening their hotel, built around a restaurant thought of as a destination. And in another, more accessible register, the Mama Shelter hotel chain (Accor group) defines itself as “restaurants with rooms above”, with bars and restaurants representing more than half of the company's turnover. brand known for its attractive prices. Akira Back to the Prince of Wales © Patrick Locqueneux - Mr Tripper In Paris, five-star hotels and palaces call on well-known executive chefs, bring in starred chefs or rely on strong concepts even if it means taking risks and giving up the race for stars. This is the case of the Plaza Athénée which closed the three Michelin star restaurant of Alain Ducasse to call on Jean Imbert, or the Prince de Galles which replaced La Scène by Stéphanie Le Quellec (two Michelin stars) with the fusion restaurant Japanese-inspired by star chef Akira Back. Another strategy, the Cheval Blanc Paris which plays on abundance, with no less than four tables for only 72 rooms, and has just received three Michelin stars for Plénitude by Arnaud Donckele. If the food attracts, it is sometimes the wine and wine tourism that serve as a story for the hotel. This is the case in France at the spectacular Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa not far from Épernay, at Chais Monnet which recalls the history of Cognac, at the Palacio de Samaniego which tells the story of the Rothschild family's love of wine in the vineyards of La Rioja, or Ventozelo Hotel & Quinta, hotel and winery in the Douro in Portugal. As for the Sources de Caudalie, a pioneer of its kind in Bordeaux and the only hotel labeled “Palace” in the vineyards, it remains a reference in the field in France and has even just had a new decor.

People have asked me why Marina Alta? 🌄 A region that's often overlooked, tucked away on the scenic Costa Blanca. But I'll tell you, it's more than just its picturesque views. It's about the warmth of the people🤝, the vibrant local culture🎭, and the charm that's uniquely its own. Let's not forget the culinary offerings 🍽️. From traditional tapas to avant-garde cuisine, every bite tells a story. And the wine 🍷 - don’t get me started. The region's vineyards produce some of Spain’s best-kept secret varieties. Businesses thrive here too. A connected community, a welcoming environment for innovation💡, and the slower pace of life that allows for a work-life balance ⚖️ like no other. Marina Alta - it's not just a location. It's a lifestyle. It's where work, culture, and leisure come together in a beautiful symphony 🎶. So, why Marina Alta? The question is, why not? #derelicttodream #propertyinvestment #spain

Happy Monday! What a great day some of us had (whilst others were working!) at the Denia D*na Gastronomic Festival on Saturday afternoon! It's nearly October, yet we’re still enjoying blue skies, sunshine, and summer vibes in beautiful Denia. The event was a true celebration of the Marina Alta region's rich culinary heritage, with an abundance of fantastic food and wines to sample, all while enjoying live music and the vibrant atmosphere. One of the highlights of the day was the chance to see some of the world’s top chefs in action, including our very own 3 Michelin-starred Quique Dacosta and Vicky Sevilla, the youngest woman in Spain to achieve a Michelin star. All of this set along the beach promenade of Marineta Cassiana, with the breathtaking Montgo mountain behind us and the Denia Castle across the water. It’s days like these that remind us why living here is such a joy—still soaking up the outdoor lifestyle, fantastic cuisine, and beautiful weather even though it is officially autumn. If you didn’t get a chance to read last week’s blog about the event, here’s the link again for all the details: https://lnkd.in/d7rfYjFS +34 683384750 spain@fineandcountry.com #fineandcountryspain #luxuryrealestate #luxuryhomes #lifestyleproperties #gastronomy #marinaalta #lifestyle #september

Accessibility, Hospitality and Wine Back In 2018, Bodegas Valdemar based in Rioja, Spain became the first winery in Europe to offer a 100% inclusive wine tourism experience, an initiative that has earned numerous awards. Their newest project Valdemar Estates, was built from the ground up with extensive measures to ensure that guests, regardless of ability, can enjoy their visit. When our clients think of physical accessibility, especially in a winery or other form of hospitality, they often don't know what they don't know. That's why Springboard begins with a comprehensive physical accessibility/Universal Design assessment. When our clients follow the recommendations, it provides for a more complete, interesting, sensory, interactive and accessible experience for everyone. Some typical recommendations may include: • The use of QR codes to link to web pages to provide additional information or to provide information via sign language or text. • Braille and large print labels and menus • Signs, menus, and other information available on accessible, digital tablets • If tours are part of the business, ensuring they are fully inclusive and accessible • Staff trained on disability etiquette and awareness • A fully accessible and usable website inclusive of the section for reservations #Winery #accessibility #hospitality #restaurant #menu #travel #tourism #disability #inclusion #webaccessibility #usability #winery Ivette Lopez Springboard Consulting LLC
