Sangini Group’s Post

Well, Well, it seems I have touched a NERVE!!!After I wrote the post about Tina, she 'untagged' herself from that...Did the truth HURT Tina? Felt bad? Here's what I will do. Every time you 'UNTAG' yourself from my post, I WILL WRITE ANOTHER till you stop doing it. I have to say, giving credit to Anthony Capuano & Rajeev Menon on both, who I am much HARSHER and repeatedly criticize, They NEVER UNTAGGED themselves...Same goes to Peggy Roe & Satya Anand who I also rail against repeatedly. Let's give it another go. The 'Great' and 'Doesn't like to be tagged' Tina Edmundson, President of Luxury at Marriott International gave an interview to Caroline Tell of Forbes when she was first appointed to this position back in April 2023 and Tina says, "Across our luxury brands portfolio, we are leading in innovation and giving our guests new ways to experience our brands while exploring the world" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!Leading in Innovation & new ways to experience our brands? How do you LIE like this Tina? That in itself requires a certain ability...Allow me to burst your bubble...Your NOT LEADING in innovation, in fact, your luxury hotels are Leading in NOTHING!!I'll give you a personal example and you can decide for yourself. Earlier this year in January, I was at The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Mega Kuningan where they were Blatantly involved in deception and trickery. Instead of Asprey amenities, they used FAKE Asprey Look alike pouches filled with some subpar local brand that smells horrible and is of such cheap quality. What a disgrace. Not only are they fooling us by not providing the correct amenities ( Brand Standard for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. is Diptyque Paris), but using FAKE pouches to pass of as the real thing? That's insulting the customer twice. Tell me Tina, is this the new way to experience Ritz? Chicanery and duplicity? Bravo I say. Instead of coming to my profile and trying to untag yourself from my post which depicts the reality, may I suggest an Alternative? Why don't you visit Ritz Jakarta Mega Kuningan & ensure this doesn't happen again? As a matter of fact, why haven't you already? I have raised this issue several times this year, so have several other guests and you didn't find time in your 'busy' schedule to make a visit? I see you have been busy enjoying yourself over the past one year since you got this title, at Monaco aboard Evirma, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, The St. Regis Venice, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, having a fabulous time in Miami at the Formula one Grand prix whilst staying at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, and The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne. You look liked you had a lot of fun and I am so happy for you that your 'touring, investigating and assessing' new properties, but it would be great if you checked existing luxury properties like the Ritz Jakarta as well if they are following brand standards and not fooling Marriott Bonvoy customers. DO BETTER!!

Thinking Different: How Pop-Ups Could Give New Hotels an Edge in Bangkok's Luxury Market From September this year to March next year, Bangkok's CBD will welcome new luxury hotels like Aman, Ritz Carlton, Andaz, Dusit Thani, and Grand Center Point. These hotels compete in a challenging market with slow demand. While Grand Center Point already stands out with its affordable luxury and quality, the others may need to think differently to succeed. One idea? Pop-up concepts. Pop-up kiosks are turning heads—and wallets. They're tapping into deep psychological triggers to grab attention and convert casual passersby into loyal customers. Like luxury brands Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and many more, which successfully hosted pop-ups to engage new audiences, hotels can create buzz, increase guest engagement, and build loyalty. In this competitive landscape, a pop-up could be the perfect way to introduce their brand with style and exclusivity. #LuxuryHotels #Bangkok #PopUpConcept #HotelMarketing #Aman #RitzCarlton #Andaz #DusitThani #GrandCenterPoint #ThinkingDifferent #HospitalityInnovation

Three voices in perfect harmony. Each with its own story. Each redefining luxury in their own way. At Mythic, timeless elegance meets forward-thinking vision – where every detail tells a story of discovery and renewal. Along the Naoussa coastline, Sandaya weaves effortless sophistication with laid-back coastal cool – a sanctuary where the line between inside and outside blurs into perfect balance. And at the vibrant heart of Naoussa, Bohemian Boutique Hotel pulses with creative energy – where artistic souls find their tribe and luxury dances to an island beat. This is The Bohemian Collection. Not a hotel group, but a curator of moments. Not a brand, but a movement. We're here to share how three distinct visions come together to create something greater: a new way of experiencing Paros, where sustainability isn't just a promise but a practice, where luxury isn't defined by price but by authenticity, and where every stay writes a new chapter in your own story. Welcome to our world. #BohemianCollection #ParosRedefined #LuxuryReimagined

All good in the Neighborhood! I'm happy to be back to the "Village of Love" in Bangkok...🌇🌃🏙 Bangrak is the home to Thailand's most famous and luxurious hotels, which can be found along the banks of the Chao Phraya River. "Bang” in Thai means Village and “Rak” means Love—as such, you may hear Bangrak referred to as the “Village of Love”. There are other theories on how this area got its name. It is also said that the name came from the Thai word, "raksa" or "to care for". It's just the best neighbourhood for luxury hotels. This area south of Rama IV Road shelters some of the best hotels where to stay in Bangkok, and on the planet. The Mandarin Oriental Bangkok of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and the The Peninsula Bangkok of The Peninsula Hotels , Four Seasons Riverside Bangkok of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and Capella Bangkok of Capella Hotels and Resorts are consistently voted among the world’s top ten. These and a clutch of other high-end places on the banks of the Chao Phraya offer superb standards of service and excellent spas, restaurants and swimming pools in their riverside gardens. Bang Rak is one of the fifty districts of Bangkok, Thailand. It lies on the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya River, beyond Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem, which marked the old city boundary. Bang Rak is a lively shopping and entertainment hub known for lavish riverside shopping malls with glitzy upscale rooftop bars. Within this district, the busy Silom neighborhood has casual pubs, chic cocktail lounges, and famous night bars such as Sky bar at Lebua of lebua Hotels and Resorts and Vertigo at Banyan Tree Bangkok of Banyan Group Dining ranges from street food to Michelin-starred French, Italian, New Zealand and American eateries. #luxuryescapeclub #luxurylifestyle #bangkok #amazingthailand #bangkokhotels #luxuryhotels #luxuryhospitality #realestate #luxuryproperties #restaurants #upscale #ultraluxury #millionaries #billionaires #finedining #realestatebusiness #upscalebars #realestateinvestments #investments

There is a new $3.2 billion luxury precinct in Thailand, and its another step in the country's rising status as a luxury retail powerhouse. The shopping precinct is called One Bangkok and its been gaining a flurry of investment. The precinct is 17 hectares in size and will comprise three interconnected shopping centres with hotels, offices and residential towers. Thailand's personal luxury goods market is set to reach $2.4 billion in retail value this year, increasing at a CAGR of 9 percent through to 2029. #Thailand #OneBangkok #Bangkok

Even though The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. in its Modern Incarnation in 1983 under Horst Schulze was essentially an AMERICAN company, Ritz Carlton by virtue of its Legendary Founder and even its renowned aesthetic style and refined luxury is very much a EUROPEAN FIRM at heart. After all, Cesar Ritz opened the first one in Paris ( Ritz Paris) and the second in London ( The Ritz London), so there can be no question about its European sensibilities, but I was SHOCKED to find out that in Mainland Europe, Ritz has just 8 properties, that's right, a measly 8. The Ritz-Carlton, Vienna, The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin, The Ritz-Carlton, Wolfsburg, The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest, Penha Longa Resort, The Ritz-Carlton, Abama, Hotel Arts Barcelona and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel de la Paix, Geneva. A continent like Europe has only 8 Ritz, China has DOUBLE the amount, 16 Ritz properties including The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong and Ritz Macau!!A real shame indeed, considering there are so many of us Ritz loyalists who would love to see the brand expand more in Europe. ( Ritz has done a great job in China!!) There are more than 28 countries in the European Union and there should be a Ritz in every major capital and city like Ritz Rome, Ritz Cannes, Ritz Dublin, Ritz Brussels, Ritz Stockholm, Ritz Amsterdam, Ritz Prague, Ritz Helsinki, so on and so forth. The question is, why hasn't it been done till now? I really don't understand why. Perhaps its an expensive & already mature market, but nonetheless, the potential is huge. I for one, would stay only at Ritz in Europe if I had the choice. Ritz has been focusing a lot on Asia for its current growth which is great, but they shouldn't forget Europe which is a perennial tourist spot. As they say, You build it, people will come. Cesar Ritz is Swiss and it is only right for the brand to focus on its founder's country/continent. As a matter of fact, I always thought of Ritz as SWISS PERFECTION. Just like any other famous Swiss company ROLEX, Patek Philippe, Lindt & Sprüngli, Nestlé. Always reliable, no compromise on quality & exceptionally well made and crafted. It would be wise for Ritz to lean on its European heritage & legacy and keep the bar always high. When Marriott International bought Ritz Carlton in 1998, its founder Horst & the core team left. That's no coincidence. They knew that Marriott, being a Publicly traded company/ corporate behemoth would only care about profits and dilute the brand. While it has not entirely happened, the signs are already there. I wish like the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Ritz would have been taken PRIVATE!!That was the best course of action. Isadore Sharp handing the reins over to Bill Gates, Cascade Investment and Prince Al Waleed's Kingdom Holding Company was a stroke of genius. Thanks to this, there will NEVER be a compromise in quality and the original vision will always be sacred. I really wish Ritz went that route, Sigh!!We would have had more Ritz in Europe in that case.
