EOUL, SOUTH KOREA, August 20, 2019 - Accor Ambassador Korea has announced the launch of its first Sofitel Hotel & Serviced Residences in Songpa, Seoul. Slated to open in 2021, the announcement comes as the Accor Group aims to strengthen its presence in the luxury segment in South Korea. Set in a commercial tower, the hotel and serviced residences will be inter-connected to an office building. As the first international luxury hotel brand to originate from France, Sofitel Hotels & Resorts is renowned as a global ambassador of French style and art de vivre with over 120 hotels in the world’s most sought after destinations. ‘Live The French Way’ is the brand’s promise that pays homage to Sofitel’s roots, demonstrating the eternal allure of French style that reinforces the brand’s time-honoured position as an ambassador of art de vivre around the world. “Sofitel is an ambassador of French style and culture.

The hotel and serviced residences will feature 563 rooms and suites, an all-day-dining restaurant and bar as well as meetings and events space. Leisure facilities include an indoor swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, fitness, spa and kids’ room.

“We are pleased to launch the first Sofitel in South Korea in partnership with Accor Ambassador Korea, enabling visitors to experience French luxury lifestyle.

“We are pleased to introduce the world-renowned Sofitel brand to South Korea.

Understand the cost of your booking channels to maximise revenues

41st | Vol 26 | 2019 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Understand the cost of your booking channels to maximise revenues Written by: Stephen Hambleton, IDeaS senior product manager Today, more than ever, Indonesian hoteliers need to understand that often a direct booking is the best kind of booking. However, while encouraging guests to book direct can help hotels bypass third-party commissions and fees, there are still many hotels that rely on the distribution and marketing reach of online travel agencies (OTAs). Given the rising costs of distribution, it is critical to weigh the value of each booking channel. Hoteliers now need to ask themselves what is the actual cost of acquiring reservations through a booking channel and how much of that demand is needed. Understand your reservation acquisition costs To date, hoteliers have generally drawn on the vast amount of data stored in their reservation and distribution systems to optimise revenues. However, this focus is changing as reservation acquisition costs have increased and hotels have seen demand shift to higher cost channels with more pressure on bottom-line performance. Understanding costs by channelâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and evaluating which channels deliver the greatest returns for a hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;can be a significant challenge, unless a propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue management team has a common definition on the coding structure and a means to calculate cost of acquisition.

41st | Vol 26 | 2019 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Hoteliers are increasingly focused on collecting data to understand the impact of acquisition costs. Identifying the true value of acquisition costs can facilitate short-term booking decisions and longer-ter m channel-value - centr ic decisions when contracting with distribution channel partners. There are a multitude of ways hoteliers can determine the cost structure of a booking channel, including incorporating infrastructure and labour costs, like data servers, salespeople. For revenue management purposes though, it’s more appropriate to keep it simple and consider the cost of acquiring one additional booking through a channel. This will make it easier to compare costs on a channel-by-channel basis and build a foundation for optimisation—i.e., how hoteliers decide if they need one more reservation from that channel, or if they have demand from lower-cost channels. Knowledge is power in contract negotiations A hotel that knows the cost of its booking channels has greater power when it comes to contract negotiations with booking partners. This includes deciding how to agree to a fair commission percentage, or which rate and availability parity clauses to agree upon (and how a hotel is penalised for authorised breaking of said clauses within a contract). The alignment of these clauses across partners are important prerequisites as a hotel puts sophisticated profit optimisation strategies in place (e.g., if a hotel closes or restricts bookings in one channel, must it do the same in all channels?). The current value of these ac tivities and the partner overall can be hard to evaluate, and the impacts are difficult to predict unless contractually committed. It is especially impor tant as revenue management and marketing are typically a short-term centric discipline, with short-term promotions or pricing practices to drive demand across optimised occupancy dates.

Trends or impacts of these distribution practices will play a key role in longer-term performance and should be evaluated as such. Strategies for reducing acquisition costs I ndonesian Hoteliers look ing to reduce their booking acquisitions costs should review their third-party contractual commitments to availability and rate parity and investigate introducing more flexibility into those commitments. These changes typically take time to go into effect and have a significant bearing on how hotels can enact longer term channel optimisation. Through capturing their channel costs by looking at each booking endpoint in their distribution ecosystem—from direct online bookings through each GDS, OTA and group booking partner, hoteliers can effec tively review and analyse their acquisition outlay. As a hotel considers each booking endpoint, it is important to define what the cost of taking each additional booking is. Once a hotel has a clean data set from which it can isolate its channel costs, revenue managers can make the decision to take more or less of the available demand through various channels on the basis of the cost to take one additional reservation through that channel. That’s how Indonesian hotels will improve profit performance: by controlling costs on a channel-by-channel basis. The distribution landscape is changing—ensure you get the most out of it As hoteliers become savvier around the need to measure the costs associated with each channel and booking acquisitions generally, meaningful negotiations will occur between hotel brands and OTAs that help secure guests. It is those hoteliers who understand the cost versus value each booking partner delivers that will be best placed to hold effective negotiations and establish mutually beneficial business relationships.

But the company is now aiming to expand its Vietnamese portfolio to at least 10 hotels and resorts by 2021, including landmark openings in important business and leisure destinations all across the country.

41st | Vol 26 | 2019 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Swiss-Belhotel International has already signed two new hotels in Vietnam. Firstly, Swiss-Belhotel Suites & Residences Ha Long Bay is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2019, overlooking the northeast Vietnam’s spectacular UNESCO World Heritage-listed seascape. This impressive new property will feature 350 apartment-style rooms for short and long stays, plus extensive facilities including a spa, fitness centre, swimming pools, multiple F&B outlets, a ballroom and meeting rooms. Then in 2022, Swiss-Belresort Bai Dai Phu Quoc will open its doors on the pristine coast of Phu Quoc, southern Vietnam’s island jewel. Nestled directly on the sandy beach, this exquisite resort will comprise 218 rooms and villas, plus outdoor pools, a spa and a choice of dining options, including a seafood restaurant and beach club. It will also provide space for events and weddings. These exceptional new properties represent the quality of project Swiss-Belhotel International is now attracting in Vietnam.

BALI BRUNCH FAVOURITE TWO TREES EATERY DEBUTS A VIBRANT NEW MENU

THE BERAWA HEALTH HAVEN INTRODUCES AN ARRAY OF NEW FAVOURITE DISHES.

ali brunch favourite Two Trees Eatery debuts a vibrant new menu The Berawa health haven introduces an array of new favourite dishes. As its name suggests, Two Trees Eatery is rather passionate about plants. Not only does the Berawa-based venue have an ongoing devotion to plant-based cuisine, but the same interest in being green. “With a name like Two Trees Eatery, we have a responsibility not only to be environmentally friendly but also to be conscious of what is good for your body,” the venue explains. “We don’t however want to stray too far away from our natural tendency to be a bit naughty from time to time, so we wanted to provide you with everything from the very healthy to the very naughty depending on your mood.” It’s this celebration of balanced eating that you’ll find on the venue’s newly launched menu, which merges the health-focus of Australia with the flavours of the French. In-keeping with the existing farm-to-table approach, Two Trees has introduced a handful of new dishes that are as delicious as they are good for you, where soaked, sprouted and dehydrated nuts, seeds, and grains all make an appearance alongside plenty of ferments. Tuck into the Golden Broth, a healing broth infused with medicinal spices, and the Salm Salm But Different, a vegan take on salmon that sees carrots salt-baked and cured in olive oil and raw apple cider vinegar. And then there’s the Hot Dang Carrot Dog, a playful vegan twist on the humble hot dog that uses carrot instead of sausage. As an added eco-friendly bonus, inside the restaurant you’ll find very little plastic, with no straws, bottles, bags, cups, or take-away packaging used throughout. Two Trees Eatery is open from 6.00am to 11.00pm everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Two Trees Eatery 99 jl. pantai Berawa, Canggu twotreeseatery.com | @twotreeseatery

Five Designer Hotel Pieces You’ll Want for Your Home

he palatial Saigon Suite of Ho Chi Minh City’s most grandiose hotel, The Reverie Saigon, embodies the property’s over-the-top appeal. Two of Italy’s leading design houses – Cassina and Poltrona Frau — collaborated on the décor, sparing no expense. The resulting interior of the USD 12,000 per night suite is a treasure trove of luxury items that you’ll crave for your own abode. The suite’s Veliero (Italian for sailing vessel) bookcase consists of 1,800 pieces. Its design is so intricate that the hotel flew in a Cassina craftsman from Italy to ensure that it was installed properly. Poltrona Frau’s plush leather Chester One Sofa was designed in 1912 by Renzo Frau. The back and armrests of the comfy perch are filled with vegetable horsehair which is hand-modelled. An Isidoro vintage-style travelling liquor cabinet by JeanMarie Massaud for Poltrona Frau, takes center stage in the parlour. The repurposed aesthetics of a classic leather trunk to a mini-bar is a feat of imagination that one might expect from the design house that supplies leather seats for Maserati and Ferrari. A deep crimson Juliet armchair designed by Benjamin Hubert was the winner of a design competition to mark Poltrona Frau’s 100-year anniversary. It is crafted of solid beech and birch plywood, padded in polyurethane foam and polyester wadding, upholstered in Pelle Frau leather, and embellished by crimp stitching.

Wooden barrel chairs, originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1937 for Herbert Johnson’s house, Wingspread, surround a dining table as long as a conference table in the suite’s dining room.

Hotels Moonlighting as Galleries

132

41st | Vol 26 | 2019 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

rtists like to exhibit their work in 5-star hotels - they’re usually spacious and well-lit, host an affluent clientele, and are experts at catering to the public. Hotel owners also like to invest in artwork, and their lobby displays can constitute an eye-catching and intriguing welcome for guests the moment they step through the doors. Here are a few luxury hotels -- in the Far East and Middle East -- that create a visual feast for their guests: Al Bait Sharjah. Plenty of hotels have museumworthy exhibits and some are so enamored of their heritage, they liken the entire premises to a museum. But the Al Bait has actually opened its own, purpose-built museum. In two generous galleries, the museum tells the story of Ibrahim Bin Mohammed Al Midfa, who lived in one of the four old homes that form the foundation of the new resort. Images picture Al Midfa and his family and tell how they accrued wealth from the pearl trade and rose to prominence in the government. Glass display cases exhibit artifacts from his life, from a replica of the dagger he wore at ceremonies to the pens he used to compose poetry to books from his library. Another exhibit memorialises the location of the post office that stood on this site. In another room, the door to Al Midfa’s original home stands against a far wall, no longer providing egress to any actual place but to an imagination of the past. Chedi Club Tanah Gajah Ubud. The Chedi Club was built as the private estate of the noted Indonesian designer Hendra Hadiprana and repurposed by GHM as a hotel in July 2004. The hotel is an artistic tour de force in itself, as it still houses the bulk of the late Hadiprana’s private collection. The collection was built up over three decades and features 29 Ganesh statues (either found or commissioned by the former owner), vases from the 16 and 17th centuries collected throughout Asia, and an impressive collection of paintings from Indonesian artists.

The Anam Cam Ranh. The Anam’s commitment to the arts is obvious all over its grounds, where an eclectic collection of hundreds of artworks by local artists hang from its walls and bedeck its pedestals. Ranging from vivid landscapes and abstract oil paintings to striking photography, the authentic artworks depict Vietnam and the daily lives of the Vietnamese, positioning the resort as a gateway to the country’s rich culture. Black and white images by Vietnamese photographer Mai Lôc, whose life story epitomises Vietnam’s rapid transformation, are among the most popular works with art-loving guests. Once living under the poorest conditions as a miner, Mai Lôc met a Norwegian couple by chance in 1995. They kept in touch and for his wedding, the couple gave him a camera, changing his life. Today he’s a sought-after photographer who has exhibited in Canada, Finland, Austria and other countries. In support of local art, the Anam becomes an open-air artist’s studio each Wednesday, ushering talented local artists onto its grounds to practice their craft. Reverie Saigon. This hotel is remarkable for several astonishing pieces of art, including a ceiling installation of hand-blown Murano glass fashioned in the shape of Vietnam and accented by LED-lit crystal and steel ‘Arabesque Egg’ chandeliers, and an 1895 Bechstein grand piano transformed into art by Baldi with the addition of a mosaic veneer of malachite stone and chiselled bronze. Moreover, the hotel itself is a design aficionado’s dream. Seventeen different Italian design houses collaborated on the interiors, leading famed Italian designer Giulio Cappellinithe, art director of the Milan-based Poltrona Frau Group and an iconic trendsetter in the industry to say: “I can’t think of any other property anywhere in the world that has brought together so many of Italy’s leading furnishings design brands … except, perhaps, a museum.” Palace Hotel Tokyo. This hotel opened in 2012 after a $1.2 billion investment and they have since invested deeply in artwork.

Hotels Moonlighting as Galleries More than 1,000 pieces of art vie for eyeballs throughout the hotel, with the grandest pieces hung from the walls and put upon pedestals in the lobby, reception and in meeting spaces. The hotel itself makes its own claim as a work of art, winning renown as the best designed large hotel in the world in 2014 from Travel + Leisure magazine in the U.S. For those who want to take a memory of the artworks home, the hotel has published a book detailing its collection. Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. Guests are invited to experience the hotel’s storied past in the “Path of History” tour, offered twice daily at 5pm and 6pm. Led by a hotel historian, the tour includes a look at classic artifacts from the Metropole Hanoi, including photographs of famous guests (such as Charlie Chaplin and US President Bill Clinton, among others), as well as items like vintage room keys from the hotel that date back more than 100 years. For many, the highlight of the tour is a visit to the hotel’s bomb shelter, which protected famous visitors like Joan Baez and Jane Fonda from air raids during the US-Vietnam War. The bunker was closed and sealed after the war, before being rediscovered during the renovation of the Bamboo Bar in 2011. Hyatt Regency Bangkok. A new photo gallery in one of Bangkok’s most culturally diverse areas is giving guests a glimpse into another era with a permanent exhibition on the history of Bangkok’s most important boulevard - Sukhumvit Road. Located on the fourth floor of the new Hyatt Regency Bangkok, Sukhumvit Gallery features an eclectic mix of rare photographs of people and places that tell the story of the road, vintage maps, and important documents covering the area’s history. “Nana’s roots are as a vibrant international marketplace,” explained the general manager of Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit, Sammy Carolus. “With this gallery we are sharing the fascinating story of the neighborhood as it once was.” Sukhumvit Gallery is open daily 11am–10:30 pm, with free entrance. Awei Metta, Yangon. Renowned Belgian artist Christian Develter travelled in 2012 to Myanmar’s Chin State, visiting the hill tribes of this remote region where women have for generations tattooed their faces, symbolizing strength and beauty.

136

41st | Vol 26 | 2019 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Develter was subsequently commissioned by Awei Metta, ahead of its grand opening in December last year, to produce a series of lithographs, combining classic Asian beauty with this ancient custom. The canvases adorn some of the 72 rooms and are prominent throughout the hotel, where the stunning portraits appear to stare back provocatively into the viewer’s eyes. Grand Hyatt Taipei, Taiwan. Taipei’s largest five-star hotel is well-known for its sizeable collection of quirky art installations, watercolor paintings, and calligraphy works by Taiwanese artist Suyin Zhou. Many of Zhou’s black and white paintings adorn the walls of the hotel’s 850 guest rooms and suites, including one of a large swirl, which hangs in the entrance to one of the corner suites. In the hotel lobby, a giant wooden sphere by Korean artist, Jae Hyo Lee, is on permanent display while a life-like statue of a ‘Standing Guard’ (nicknamed ‘Charlie’ by hotel staff ) by US artist Marc Sijan, stands to attention near the elevators. Laguna Lang Co, Vietnam. A commitment to Vietnamese arts is strong at Laguna Lang Co, the Southeast Asian nation’s most far-reaching integrated resort. Throughout the rooms and the public areas at the project’s award-winning hotels -- Banyan Tree Lang Co and Angsana Lang Co -- guests will find images by photographers depicting local life in Central Vietnam as well as artworks inspired by the area. In addition to these, the resort has not one but two galleries dedicated to showcasing the arts and crafts of the area. At Banyan Tree Gallery browsers will find everything from traditional Vietnamese crafts and furnishings to objets d’art and ethnic apparel. At Angsana Gallery, meanwhile, the range of arty artefacts spans locallycrafted baskets and lanterns as well as handcrafted ceramic burners.

ANGKOK - A new photo gallery in one of Bangkok’s most culturally diverse areas is giving guests a glimpse into another era with a permanent exhibition on the history of Bangkok’s most important boulevard - Sukhumvit Road. Sukhumvit Gallery, located on the fourth floor of the new Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit, features an eclectic mix of rare photographs of people and places that tell the story of the road, vintage maps, and important documents covering the area’s history.

SUKHUMVIT GALLERY SHOWCASES IMAGES AND MAPS OF A BYGONE ERA “Nana’s roots are as a vibrant international marketplace,” explained the general manager of Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit, Sammy Carolus. “With this gallery we are sharing the fascinating story of the neighborhood as it once was.” To mark the launch of the hotel’s new space, Hyatt has collaborated with renowned Thai floral artist, Sakul Inthakul, to create an afternoon tea presentation inspired by Bangkok’s past and the images on display. The Ekamai pedestrian bridge on Sukhumvit Soi 63 was Inthakul’s muse for the serving platter. The classic wellknown bridge is on display on one of the walls, and is re-interpreted as the plate -- a handcrafted sculpture of stainless steel, copper plating and artificial marble, that is decorated with local flowers.

jakarta hotel market review AS NEW LUXURY HOTELS GATHER ON JAKARTA’S HORIZON WILL INTERNATIONAL TRAVELERS FOLLOW?

hile Jakarta Indonesia is transforming into an Asian megacity, it has yet to capture a wider international audience of visitors. In 2018, the city’s hotels hosted over 13 million guests, yet 86% were from the domestic segment. In a newly released report, the Jakarta Hotel Market Review from hospitality consulting group C9 Hotelworks over 2.7 million overseas passengers arrived at the gateway Soekarno-Hatta International Airport last year. Over a 10-year period the compound annual growth rate hit an impressive 7.4 percent. Yet, the reality, is that Indonesia’s largely domestic economic marketplace remains the key spotlight as public sector infrastructure is playing catch up with ongoing mass transportation developments trying to link the city’s spread of mini-metros. A key outcome of the domestic feeding frenzy is that Indonesian conglomerates and real estate groups are developing massive integrated mixed-use properties with global luxury operators. A quick name check of the accommodation pipeline features well-known names such as Park Hyatt. Waldorf Astoria, St. Regis, W, Regent and Langham.

JAKARTA HOTEL MARKET REVIEW

NEWLY RELEASED REPORT REVEALS 86% OF CITY’S HOTEL GUESTS ARE DOMESTIC MARKET

While historically the influx of overseas guests are business travelers during peak mid-week periods who leave the city in advance of the weekend. This leaves hotels with the choice of either lower room rates for the domestic market or else empty beds. Jakarta’s international geographic source of business profile has seen Mainland China in the top position since 2015, with a 5-year CAGR of 9%. Rounding out the top 5 are Malaysia, Japan, Singapore and Saudi Arabia. There have been few surprises during the past few years yet two international sporting events, the 2018 Asia and Para Asian games pushed market-wide demand higher. Looking forward, C9 Hotelworks Managing Director Bill Barnett said “it’s unclear if the new luxury pipeline will dramatically induce the overseas market. Until there are broader economic reforms that will positively impact FDI (foreign direct investment) and improvements in commuting to CBD areas, the domestic segment is likely to remain firmly entrenched in the driver’s seat of Jakarta hotel performance.”

About C9 Hotelworks C9 Hotelworks is led by founder and Managing Director Bill Barnett, who brings over 30 years’ experience in the Asian hospitality and real estate sectors. Prior to founding C9 in 2003, Bill held senior executive roles in hotel operations, development and asset management.

The InterContinental® Jakarta Pondok Indah raises the bar for dynamic dining

akarta, Indonesia, July 2019 The InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah introduces Food & Beverage Director Jonathan Lallemand and Executive Chef Christoph Pouls, defining its credentials as the focal point in South Jakarta for the finest gastronomic offerings from around the world. Food & Beverage Director Jonathan Lallemand joins the team at The InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah from the prestigious Shangri-La Paris, bringing a wealth of management experience from some of the finest establishments in Europe and Asia. A Belgian national, Jonathan is fluent in several languages and trained at Ter Groene Poorte, in Brugge, Belgium before embarking on a remarkable international hotel management career that took him to Stockholm, Hanoi, Bangkok, Singapore, Manila, Paris and now Jakarta. Also hailing from Belgium, Executive Chef Christoph Pouls has a reputation for creativity and culinary flair. Christoph was exposed to cooking at a young age in his parents’ fine dining restaurant and hailed from a family of craft butchers in the province of Limburg, so it was no surprise he developed a lifelong passion for cooking and hospitality. Bitten by the travel bug, Christoph moved into the international hotel industry, becoming one of the youngest executive chefs at Radisson BLU at 28 years old, based at their flagship property in the UK.

41st | Vol 26 | 2019 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

After briefly returning to Belgium, Christoph once again felt the urge for adventure and moved to Asia, taking positions at 5-star properties in Singapore, China and Taiwan, where he oversaw various successful hotel openings as well as day to day running of culinary departments. “We want all the outlets at the hotel to be leading venues in Jakarta in their own segment,” said Executive Chef Christoph Pouls. “It is already a given that any person who walks through our door must be happy with our service and our offerings, but beyond that we have to make sure we keep things interesting. And, of course we want to strengthen our InterContinental brands’ excellent reputation.” There is a myriad of choices for dining at The InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah. All-day dining can be enjoyed at Sugar & Spice, with a menu spanning 5 continents, whilst a teppanyaki ‘speak-easy’ bar takes intimate dining to new heights. Guests can connect with business colleagues and friends at The Lounge with unique single origin coffee and the finest tea. The Aqua Lounge is the perfect venue to wind down above the city’s traffic with handcrafted cocktails by the pool. The hotel offers cooking classes and has excellent facilities with open kitchens for demo style classes as well as mobile cooking islands for small groups employing a hands-on approach.
