Simon McHendry Appointed General Manager of The Temple House in Chengdu

H

ong Kong – Swire Hotels is pleased to announce that Simon McHendry, former General Manager of EAST, Beijing, has been transferred to The Temple House as the new General Manager, effective July, and will oversee the operations and lead the team in Chengdu.

Simon began his life in Asia over a decade ago in 2004 when he relocated from London to Hong Kong and then later to Beijing. With hospitality in his blood and planted in Asia all these years, Simon gained valuable insight through fully immersing himself in the culture and building genuine relationships.

In 2015, Simon joined Swire Hotels first as Executive Assistant Manager – Sales & Marketing at The Opposite House, then later in 2016 moved over to EAST, Beijing, taking on the role of General Manager. Having been a part of the Swire Hotels family for over four years in both The House Collective and EAST brands, Simon embodies the Swire culture and will guide the team at The Temple House in the same spirit, encouraging team members to be themselves, make decisions, try new things, and most importantly, to have a sense of humour. He also brings with him to The Temple House a deep understanding of Swire Hotels’ dedication to service, familiarity with culture, as well as a wealth of knowledge and experience in both back-of-house and front-of-house operations.

42nd | Vol 27 | 2019 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

“His contribution to EAST, Beijing during the last three years has been significant; growing revenues, whilst building not only a strong management team, but an environment where team members feel comfortable thinking out-of-thebox,” says Dean Winter, Group Director of Operations, Swire Hotels. “With his years of experience living and working in China, Simon has gained the respect of his fellow team members, making him a great addition to The Temple House.”

Simon is the proud father of a six-yearold son, and in his spare time enjoys playing sports, travelling and spending time with his family. He is most looking forward to exploring Chengdu together with his family, especially trying all the local Sichuan dishes and visiting the pandas.


About Swire Hotels Swire Hotels creates and manages distinctive hotels in Hong Kong, Mainland China and the USA under two brands, The House Collective and EAST, providing unscripted and authentic experiences for individually minded travellers who seek originality, style and personalised service. The House Collective, a group of Houses each uniquely imagined and inspired by their locations, began with The Opposite House in Beijing, which opened in 2008, followed by The Upper House in Hong Kong, The Temple House in Chengdu and the latest addition, The Middle House in Shanghai, which opened in 2018. While EAST, designed for today’s go-getters, takes personal life balance to a whole new level and includes EAST, Hong Kong; EAST, Beijing and EAST, Miami. About The Temple House The Temple House is part of Swire Hotels’ The House Collective and is located in the heart of Chengdu within the Sino-Ocean Taikoo li, a bustling open plan shopping area. The 100-room House and its 42 adjoining serviced residences form an integral part of the city government’s conservation project to preserve the surrounding heritage buildings next to the thousand-year-old Daci Temple. The three-dimensional woven façade combines modern design with the traditional Chengdu architectural elements of timber, brick and step stones. Elegant bamboo trees frame the hotel’s entrance, which is set in a beautifully restored hundred-year-old Chinese courtyard building first built in the Qing Dynasty. The Temple House also offers a dynamic collection of outlets including The Temple Café – the all-day dining restaurant and French bistro, TIVANO – an authentic Italian restaurant, Jing Bar featuring live DJs, MIXUN Spa and Teahouse.

M

aking financially sound business investments is a critical aspect of any hotel owner’s world. However, sorting through today’s vast sea of revenue technology and analytical capabilities can often leave owners swimming in dark, murky waters. Here are the top six questions hoteliers should ask before investing in a revenue management solution for their organization: 1. WHAT’S MY ROI? It’s important to work with a revenue partner to determine which solution solves the organization’s business needs. Most providers will share the average ROI results their customers receive, but look for one that leverages a large database of results from similar properties. This insight helps estimate benefits and ROI with a very high degree of accuracy.

14

42nd | Vol 27 | 2019 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Realistically, owners see a 3.5 to 5.5 percent increase in their room revenue, with some hotels reporting improvements as high as 14 percent. 2. WHAT DOES “REVENUE OPTIMIZATION” MEAN, AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? Optimizing room revenue has two significant components: the price charged for guest rooms and inventory management. These two components work hand in hand and cannot be viewed as independently functioning aspects of any revenue solution. A revenue management system that does not set price is categorized as a yield management system; a system without inventory management is categorized as a pricing system. Only solutions with both components are called revenue management systems and fully optimize room revenues. Solutions providing only one component or the other offer a partial revenue solution.


3. DO I EVEN NEED A REVENUE SOLUTION? Maybe your revenue manager can handle things just fine, but take into consideration that the current revenue and distribution environment is becoming exponentially more complex. The number of distribution channels are consistently increasing, and hotel inventory is widely available in more channels. Inventory and rates have to be updated in many places, taking up a large portion of a revenue manager’s working day. This leaves sparse time to think strategically and make effective decisions that drive long-term revenue. A revenue solution that makes and implements tactical decisions to integrated selling systems will free up time and allow them to focus on revenue strategy. A system that automatically distributes rates and inventory controls also removes concerns over the potential for lost revenue opportunities. 4 . WHAT IF MY REVENUE MANAGER HAS NEVER HANDLED A REVENUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM? The implementation of a revenue solution will change a revenue manager’s day-to-day responsibilities. This is why selecting a revenue technology partner with an extensive support network is critical in the overall decision-making process. Evaluate how a revenue technology provider can support the organization’s team during and after the installation. This helps the revenue manager become more knowledgeable and comfortable with the system—and maximize system capabilities after its installation. 5. HOW SHOULD MEETINGS & EVENTS REVENUE BE EVALUATED IN A SOLUTION? Look for a scalable solution that can provide function space and group business forecasts and evaluations— and analyzes whether business should be accepted or rejected based on its profitability. Evaluations should consider group and function space requests against the business forecasted in the hotel and its function rooms.

Investing in a system that optimizes both function space and hotel rooms ensures the largest revenue streams are optimized with a well-aligned revenue strategy.

6. HOW DO I KNOW A SOLUTION USES THE RIGHT ANALYTICS? Algorithms are the engine in revenue management systems. They determine the best price and inventory management outputs to optimize revenue. The complexity of the algorithms determine the capabilities of the system: low-complexity algorithms will provide descriptive analytics, such as various levels of business intelligence and reporting; more complex algorithms allow for predictive analytics, which is what most pricing and yield management systems use today. These algorithms allow hotels to forecast at a totalhotel level, set selling prices and, in some cases, manage inventory with length-of-stay and overbooking controls. Industry-leading systems— using a large number of complex algorithms—provide prescriptive analytics. These systems not only provide forecasts at detailed levels and pricing decisions by room type and different lengths of stay, but they will also provide an analysis of the impact of these decisions on business. These sophisticated systems are self-learning and provide the levels of detail needed to truly optimize profits. Investigating these questions will help hotel owners shine a light on the important issues requiring consideration—making the navigation of today’s revenue waters a much more pleasant voyage. ©2018 Integrated Decisions & Systems, Inc.

INGAPORE - Hilton (NYSE: HLT) has announced the appointment of Nils-Arne Schroeder as vice president, Luxury & Lifestyle, Hilton, Asia Pacific. Schroeder will oversee all people, performance and product initiatives at a brand level, within Hilton’s portfolio of luxury and lifestyle brands, covering Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, LXR, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, and Canopy by Hilton.

“I am excited and honored to be stepping into the role of leading Hilton’s luxury and lifestyle portfolio in a region as diverse as Asia Pacific,” said Schroeder. “I look forward to supporting the growth aspirations of the team, as we continue to expand our portfolio of brands through the launch of iconic and award-winning properties to new destinations across Asia Pacific, wherever our guests want to be.”

In this role, Schroeder will be responsible for continuing to build on the success of Hilton’s award-winning luxury brand portfolio in the region. He will also be bringing to life new and existing collaborations under the luxury and lifestyle portfolio, including the iconic Waldorf Astoria and Aston Martin global partnership. He succeeds Daniel Welk, who contributed significantly to growing and positioning Hilton’s luxury and lifestyle portfolio in Asia Pacific in his span of over 10 years with the company.

In his 20 years with Hilton, Schroeder has assumed leadership roles in Hilton hotels across South Korea, China, Malaysia and Indonesia, developing an acute understanding of the Asia Pacific market. Schroeder’s career highlights at Hilton include successfully opening four hotels in Asia Pacific, notably Conrad Seoul, which under his five-year leadership, became one of the best performing hotels in the region, winning numerous global accolades and helping to redefine luxury for the Conrad brand.

“In recent years, we have set new standards for our luxury and lifestyle brands globally and our portfolio across the Asia Pacific region in particular. From the debut of Waldorf Astoria Bangkok — our first Waldorf Astoria in South East Asia — and launch of Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi; to THE MURAKA, the first-of-itskind undersea residence at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island; and the introduction of the Canopy by Hilton brand in Asia Pacific earlier this year with the opening of Canopy by Hilton Chengdu City Centre, our momentum has never been better,” said Martin Rinck, executive vice president, Global Head of Luxury & Lifestyle Group.

A native German, Schroeder is married with two children and will be based in Singapore.

“As a hospitality expert, Nils brings with him a proven track record of driving and sustaining performance in financial success, guest satisfaction and engagement, as well as significant team member retention and service quality. We are thrilled that Nils will continue expanding our portfolio of luxury and lifestyle brands into more new destinations across Asia Pacific in our 100th year and beyond,” said Alan Watts, area president, Asia Pacific at Hilton.

Design excellence A total of 29 rooms and suites from the third to sixth floor, all with exceptional panoramic views, have been artfully restored. Charles Jouffre, Le Meurice’s interior designer of ten years and creator of the sumptuous drapes at the Opera Garnier, invited two young designers, Margaux Lally and Luc Berger of interior design studio Lally & Berger, to mastermind the new vision. Known for their great passion for French craftsmanship, the duo has already created the hotel’s sublime Pompadour Suite, which is as avant-garde and beautiful as the Marquise de Pompadour herself. Restoration project The latest rooms and suites offer a completely fresh perspective and are a celebration of Le Meurice’s true spirit. The designers considered what a modern-day Versailles would look like if it was built now and used this as their underlying theme. Bringing with them a certain ‘Je ne sais quoi’ that’s both elegant and audacious, the designers have created a series of lighter and brighter spaces, decorated with a tactile array of the finest French fabrics including silk, damask and velvet, alongside bespoke furniture and well-thought out artworks relating to the history of Paris and Le Meurice.

Location All of the newly-restored suites give you the whole of Paris within one enchanted gaze. Each enjoys its own unique view out across the world-famous and incredibly beautiful Tuileries Garden, the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Les Invalides, Arc de Triomphe and beyond. You’ll be in no doubt that you’re in the first district of the City of Light, as day turns to night and the landmarks are lit up before your very eyes. Belle Etoile Suite True to her name, this seventh-floor penthouse suite is quite simply spectacular. Crowning the famous Mansard roof, this is a beacon of elegance from where the 360° view of Paris becomes an eternal memory. Delicate shades of bronze and gold, mixed with the subtle patina of lightly-aged oak, play out in this stunning suite. The lavish furnishings entice you further, all courtesy of the prestigious Jouffre Ateliers Créatifs. Two unique artworks by Carole Benzaken, presented by Gallery Nathalie Obadia, lend an extra layer of sophistication. Entertain up to ten people in the elegant dining area, socialise in the cinema-style sitting room and relax in the majestic marble bathroom overlooking the Sacré Coeur in Montmartre. Another highlight that sets this suite apart is the landscaped terrace, designed Pierre Alexandre Risser to mirror the Tuileries Gardens. Where else can you enjoy an exclusive ‘garden in the sky’ with all the major Parisian landmarks at your feet? Together the suite and garden cover an impressive 620m²/6,996ft², making it one of the largest in Paris.

biza’s iconic lifestyle brand has just arrived in Indonesia, with the long anticipated Café del Mar Bali opening its doors to the public today. Known worldwide for its dazzling sunsets and euphonic music sessions, the brand will feel right at home in Batu Belig on the celebrated Canggu shoreline with front row seats to Bali’s own famed sunsets. Café del Mar Bali invites guests to drop in for a lunch that lingers on through sun down, and stay on through the night to dine, dance and revel under the stars. Visitors to Café del Mar Bali can expect all of the laidback luxury associated with the hospitality and lifestyle brand which first launched as a sunset bar in Sant Antoni de Portmany on the Spanish island of Ibiza in 1980. Café del Mar has since blossomed into one of the world’s most revered entertainment venues, boasting multiple venues around the globe. It’s no surprise that music forms a key focus for each of these venues, as Café del Mar is also the world’s leading Chill House music label, and the birthplace to one of the longest running and most successful music compilation series in history. “We’re thrilled to be expanding further into Australasia, offering new guests the same unforgettable Café del Mar experience,” says Café del Mar Australasia CEO John Zappia. “The Café del Mar lifestyle is renowned worldwide for iconic sunsets, sophisticated dining and amazing live music events. This is our first large-scale expansion and the opportunity in these thriving tourist destinations was evident. Our guests will be able to sit back with a cocktail in hand, watching the sunset while building special memories with family and friends.” “Bali is the perfect location for Café del Mar,” Zappia continues. “With international tourist numbers increasing year-on-year, the island is set to become ‘the new Ibiza’ with a growing market for music-based events. As the brand continues to grow, guests will always enjoy a

stand-out experience with a fusion of the best Balearic music and hospitality. An offering that will continue to set us apart as we expand into Asia.” Leading Café del Mar Bali on site is Kirk Bouffard, an industry veteran who brings a wealth of experience to the venue courtesy of time spent with Pure Management Group (now Hakkasan Group), the Atlantis Bahamas and CÉ LA VI. “Having the opportunity to help bring the Café del Mar brand to Bali is truly exciting as we believe strongly that it will deliver something very special for all of our customers to experience.” he says of his latest project. As for the venue itself, Café del Mar Bali is set to impress. Open Monday to Sunday from 11.00am until late, the venue offers something for everyone courtesy of its extensive array of facilities. Wrapping around an impressive 700 square-metre infinity pool with views over the beach and ocean are a collection of varied seating areas; guests can take their pick from an assortment of 48 seats at beach club dining with 60 outdoor benches, 58 sun loungers, 37 day beds, 13 cabanas, 3 semi-submersed luxury pool booths, 4 sunset booths and swim-up pool bars. Those eager for privacy, or a party of their own, will be able to experience one of 3 deluxe private suites, and one mac daddy suite adjacent to the state-of-the-art stage which forms a key feature of the venue and will host a rotating line-up of international DJs, musical guests and large scale outdoor music events in the months to come. Just like its Ibizan sister property, Café del Mar Bali will treat guests to the best in food and drinks just steps from the ocean. There will be a plethora of creative cocktails at the venue’s variety of bars, and of course plenty of food. While an extensive menu of casual bites will be available to enjoy poolside (juice and gelato bar included), those after something more substantial will find it in the properties restaurant. The refined eatery will seat 120 guests indoors and 60 alfresco overlooking the beach and ocean, and features a modern Mediterranean menu intertwined with touches of Indonesian flavor and flair. Just as impressive as the amenities is Café del Mar Bali’s design. The jawdropping space was conceptualised by architect Rafael Pasaribu, and is heavily inspired by its Spanish origins, with large arches sprawled throughout the estate and, in a nod to the location, topped with a Balinese-style roof. “We believe good architecture comes with strong narration about the space, and ability to tell a good story while forming a distinctive identity,” says Pasaribu. “[The building is] modelled after simplified Spanish Mediterranean architecture, to pay homage to its Ibiza history, while also paying respect to the vernacular of the local people.

The hotel will feature 106 rooms and suites with views of the river and the ancient city wall. There will be three restaurants and bars, including an all-day dining option, a Chinese restaurant and a Lobby Lounge.

The overall development will also be well served by good transportation links.

Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu Province situated on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The city has a long and unique history dating back to the third century A.D. Today it is the political, cultural and economic centre of the province, as well as one of the major urban centres on the Yangtze River for commerce, trade, finance, tourism and logistics. “We are delighted to announce this project in a Chinese city with strong historic roots which today is a vibrant centre for tourism, commerce, finance and trade as well as an important provincial capital,” said James Riley, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental. “We look forward to collaborating with Hongkong Land and its partners, to create a truly iconic property in the historic Jiangsu capital,” he added. “Nanjing is one of China’s most prominent destinations, and this overall development will be the city’s most prestigious.

ANGKOK – Uncompromising sustainability is in the soul of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas. Being environmentally friendly and socially responsible translates to meaningful and measurable actions. Each year since 2012, sustainability figures are gathered from all operations. Everything, from reducing, reusing and recycling waste to farm to table goodness and sustainable food sourcing, caring for communities, house-bottled water, eliminating plastic and protecting marine ecosystems and birdlife is scrutinized. Understandably, it takes quite a while to collect all the results. Year on year, they indicate the brand’s vision is audacious, but flourishing. Here are the highlights from last year. Individual properties monitor their environmental efforts and contributions to local communities, led by the group’s Vice President of Sustainability Jeff Smith, “The travel industry is growing at a rapid rate on a planet that has limited natural resources. That means all hospitality leaders have a responsibility to stand up and be accountable for making a sustainable difference and achieving measurable results. Our health and wellness ethos is around making our guests feel better inside and out, so it makes sense for our social and environmental policies to make them feel good about their choice of vacation too.” All of the group’s hotels and resorts participate in Cornell University’s Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking program, which compares their performance against a global dataset of their peers. Each Six Senses resort and hotel features an Earth Lab, which promotes sustainable living in inspirational and innovative ways. The space is used to host workshops that empower guests and community members to learn about and connect more closely with the natural world. Individual Six Senses properties manage their own Sustainability Funds with sales added directly from house-bottled water and popular stuffed animal mascots that reflect each location. Sponsored projects in 2018 totaled USD 635,422.39. Top categories for sustainability fund distribution in 2018 Jeff Smith summarized, “Our aim is to eliminate our resorts of waste, toxins and plastic, and to go beyond this to make measurable positive impacts in our local ecosystems and communities.”

TOP TECH TRENDS READY TO DISRUPT THE HOTEL INDUSTRY

T

he hospitality industry is ripe for disruption. A combination of siloed legacy systems, data fragmentation, rising consumer expectations, and high total costs associated with current booking systems, means that the hospitality industry has been slow to transform digitally, until now. The market landscape is also changing. Consolidations of major brands, for example Marriott and Starwood, are disrupting the sector as merging allows brands to gain bargaining power and drive more direct bookings. We’re also seeing an increase in the independent market and alternative accommodation growing steadily. However, no matter if you are a major international brand, or an independent boutique, the challenges and needs remain the same. To keep up with these changes, the hotel industry needs to adopt seamless, more guestcentric experiences, and technology will play a major role in this success. We spoke to a number of industry leaders to understand which technology trends they think will have a significant impact on the sector. 1 . T H E C LO U D WI L L F UTU R E- PR O O F PL ATFORMS WITH SMART, FLEXIBLE SYSTEMS “The rise of personalization is a major trend faced by the entire travel industry. Consumers expect more personalized experiences, from the moment they begin searching for a booking, to checking out of a hotel room. However, a challenge for personalization in the hotel industry is siloed legacy systems, built on a closed architecture. With a majority of data being fragmented, the industry struggles with guest recognition and personalization as these systems lack a complete overview. This is where cloud technology has the ability to solve data fragmenting, and consolidate technologies together through an open platform. By unifying systems, hoteliers are able to understand the guest profile, and preferences across all touch points.” – Ahmed Youssef, EVP Corporate Development and Marketing, Hospitality, Amadeus.

2. ROBOTS WILL REMAIN AS A GIMMICK “WHILE ROBOT BUTLERS MAY BE THE BEST WAY TO RECEIVE YOUR ROOM SERVICE, THESE ARE NO MORE THAN A GIMMICK. Using a luggage robot as an example, if you think about its application within a resort, from a terrain perspective it would be virtually impossible for the robot to follow its human leader. But in the future, these technologies will still be around, more impressive than the last. Hoteliers should instead be focusing on keeping service human, and how technology can assist humans within the industry. For example, if a light fixture is broken in a hotel room, they can alert the hotel staff through an app that triggers an automation flow and send a repairman. Technology should be used to foster an ‘information connection,’ one that helps hoteliers and empowers staff to be more productive.” – Kenneth Law, VP of Global Sales, Banyan Tree. 3. HOWEVER, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND SMART ROOMS WILL BECOME STANDARD ACROSS HOTELS “AI AND SMART ROOMS ARE A TREND BEING ADOPTED BY MANY HOTELS TO CREATE MORE PERSONABLE, MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. Using AI, guests are able to use voice commands to order room service, control curtains, set alarms, or even ordering additional towels. If a guest says ‘I want to work,’ room lights will automatically adjust, the television will turn off, and the curtain will be drawn. Recently we saw the likes of Amazon interject into the hospitality space with a hotel specific, Alexa for Hospitality. This means the technology will become more accessible and affordable for hoteliers and we could see AI and smart rooms become standard across the hospitality industry.” Leanne Harwood, Managing Director – Australasia & Japan, IHG.


4. BOOKING THE PERFECT HOTEL ROOM WILL BECOME EASIER THROUGH 3D/VR/AR TECHNOLOGY “Before booking any hotel, consumers will tediously examine the room through the dozens of images provided by the hotel. However, a trend we’re expecting to see continually grow is the use of 3D, virtual reality and augmented reality to map the inside of hotel rooms. This will improve booking in the future, as consumers will be able to freely explore the space and the facilities in a hotel. Further in the future, we can expect to see travellers able to also explore the area surroundings of the hotel. Overall, these technologies enable more certainty with consumers, that they’re making the most informed decision.” – Alexis Batlle, Co-Founder and CEO, AVUXI. 5. MOBILE USAGE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE BY GUESTS “On a global scale, we’re seeing ever expanding mobile usage by our guests. From searching for hotels, to booking, to checking-in, to browsing for nearby restaurants. Consumers are reliant on mobile when traveling. To accommodate this trend, hoteliers are focusing on ensuring seamless Wi-Fi network connections within hotel rooms and are beginning to develop dedicated hotel apps. Ensuring a seamless mobile experience will be critical in the future.” – Leanne Harwood, Managing Director – Australasia & Japan, IHG. About Amadeus: Travel powers progress. Amadeus powers travel.

The palatial Saigon Suite of Ho Chi Minh City’s

T

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.

BOUTIQUE & LIFESTYLE LEADERS ASSOCIATION (BLLA) SOFT-LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITES AND PROGRAMS FOR MEMBERS

Includes Phase 1 of the official global Master List of bookable boutique hotels and city guides showcasing boutique business concepts

L

os Angeles – BLLA, the official association of the world’s boutique hotels, is re-energizing and extending its leading brand with the debut of two bold websites offering a host of benefits and enhanced features for hotel members and boutique-loving customers. Continuing to successfully reinvent and expand the global boutique experience, BLLA has launched StayBoutique.com which offers the first-ever Master List of the world’s authentic boutique and lifestyle hotels that are bookable on the site, along with integrated City Guides showcasing boutique businesses. “BLLA continues to be one of the most forward-thinking organizations in the hospitality industry and we’ve been pushing boundaries and breaking barriers on behalf of our members and the boutique industry-at-large for over a decade,” shared Frances Kiradjian, BLLA Founder and CEO. “StayBoutique is a natural extension of our original philosophy and creates an agile and scalable platform for multifaceted segment growth. The site’s development was fueled by research and feedback from BLLA members as well as key input from its Board of Advisors.” The new StayBoutique site can be found at stay-boutique.com, while the newly designed BLLA site can be found at blla.org.

42nd | Vol 27 | 2019 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

More information on the launch and purpose is found here. Key Features StayBoutique’s innovative new digital platform will enable visitors to understand the boutique experience on a whole new level. The new site enables consumers to search and seamlessly book hotels that have been authenticated as being genuine boutique lifestyle properties. The prominently displayed and one-click link between StayBoutique and the hotel’s reservation site provides hotels with an unfiltered opportunity to interact directly with their boutique-loving customers. The exclusive Cherry-Picked Program is also a membership perk that is part of the Master List giving members additional promotion. The cherry emblem will prominently distinguish those properties or businesses that support BLLA’s mission. Future enhancements will include links to reserve special promotions from member hotels and boutique businesses. Additionally, the private log-in membership portal enables approved boutique hotels, businesses and vendors access to exclusive trend and educational content, discounts and the ability to connect with each other through the platform as well as through a private social network launching later.


“Boutique hotels, forever BLLA’s first love, stand at the forefront of what StayBoutique has coined ‘The Modern Renaissance’ with respect to the purpose and use of public spaces,” continued Frances. “Nearly eliminated by digital commerce and significantly impacted by increasingly sophisticated consumer demand, this concept is being reimagined and repurposed with creativity and innovation with StayBoutique leading the way.”

BLLA’s Evolution of Firsts After this intense rebranding process, BLLA is excited to take the association to a new phase of growth. “BLLA’s innovative practice naturally created some industry ‘firsts’ such as: the first to recognize the power of boutique hotels and the first to open up the community to other types of boutique businesses. Additionally, we were the first to brand this movement as a new cultural revival, what BLLA calls The Modern Renaissance which is redefining tradition,” stated Ariela Kiradjian, BLLA’s COO and Co-Founder of StayBoutique. “We look forward to helping our industry flourish into the next decade.”

About BLLA BLLA is the world’s most innovative and progressive organization dedicated to boutique hotels and concepts. The association connects boutique executives with cutting edge business and operational insight. BLLA’s membership benefits allow access to the world’s boutique lifestyle business thought leaders through events, research and education. Our mission is to provide leadership and opportunities for global recognition and connections to all genuine boutique hotels, concepts and vendors—all resulting in strategic interactions and access to information that helps individuals and organizations thrive. About StayBoutique StayBoutique is a natural extension of BLLA and is a place for businesses and consumers alike to provide and enjoy boutique experiences, celebrating the dedication it takes to both discover these opportunities and for businesses to cultivate a distinctive approach.

eimtextil will launch the new 2020/2021 trend season with the general theme “WHERE I BELONG”. For the official Heimtextil Trend Preview, Stijlinstituut Amsterdam director Anne Marie Commandeur introduced the new design themes. The presentation in the runup to Heimtextil (7-10 January 2020) took place at the Textile Museum’s Textile Lab in Tilburg, the Netherlands on 11 September 2019 and was streamed worldwide. This season, Stijlinstituut Amsterdam is responsible for the Trend Book content and Trend Space implementation at the upcoming international trade fair for home and contract textiles. Alongside Stijlinstituut Amsterdam, London-based studio FranklinTill and Danish agency SPOTT trends & business contributed to the 20/21 global forecast for perspective-related interior design. Together with the Heimtextil management team, these Trend Council participants gave insights into future styles during a workshop. At the annual international Trend Council workshop, identity was an ever-present topic: part of a broader discussion on gender and cultural diversity, on tolerance and curiosity. Today, the self-identification process seems more complex than ever. Identities are now formed through experiences that take place simultaneously, on different levels. Locally, nationally, globally, both online and offline. Identity therefore can consist of many different layers. In fact, individuals can all have multilayered identities. Making Room for the Multifaceted Self As an overarching theme, “WHERE I BELONG” addresses layered identities via the five diverse Heimtextil 20/21 trends. “Maximum Glam” turns the glamorous life tech-savvy, “Pure Spiritual” finds balance in nature and mysticism, “Active Urban” values utilitarian, adaptable solutions, whereas “Heritage Lux” celebrates rich historical legacies and “Multi-Local”

embraces global cultural influences. Reflecting on this year’s Heimtextil trend “WHERE I BELONG” shows one size does not fit all. To unravel and reveal the layers of our identities in an informative and inspiring way, Stijlinstituut Amsterdam invited four design studios and two photographers to capture the core of each theme. Each creative was assigned a theme matching their philosophy, practice and methodology, enabling them to bring a personal and authentic aspect to the stories. Heimtextil International Trade Fair for Home and Contract Textiles Frankfurt am Main, 7 to 10 January 2020 Establishing five worlds as spaces to experience, made for with and of exhibitors’ products, the Trend Space will also realise 2D visualisations from the book as 3D spaces. Conceptual installations will actively engage visitors and motivate them to share their experiences by creating dynamic settings all about performance and interaction. Settings can be bizarre, beautiful, and at times bewildering: it’s now up to the visitors to define where they and their target customers belong. Future Materials Library A highlight of the Heimtextil Trend Space 2020 will be the Future Materials Library curated by FranklinTill, presenting emerging sustainable material innovation to the interior textile industry. Focused on material composition and manufacturing innovation, the library exhibits will provide invaluable insight and inspiration for visitors and exhibitors alike, complementing the curated showcase of aesthetic design and colour trends. Each showcased sample will feature on-point information about each material’s raw origins, manufacturing process and potential afterlife.

Material Manifesto Heimtextil and the international trend team created a Material Manifesto outlining how to manage resources used during the event and avoid using new materials that can end up as waste when the exhibition closes. Through intelligent material choice, Stijlinstituut Amsterdam will reduce material impact to create an immersive forum with a minimal footprint. Filling the 2,000 sqm Trend Space over four exhibition days is a challenge that the Heimtextil and Stijlinstituut Amsterdam teams must collaborate on to make a forum built primarily of textiles and inflatables with materials that can be reused after the event. Working according to the principles of circularity, these textiles fit for reuse will be combined with Messe Frankfurt stock components and rented and loaned materials. These installations go beyond decorative backdrops: they will tell distinctive stories representative of this year’s trends while meeting Heimtextil’s commitment to sustainability. Find out more about the Heimtextil Trends and Trend Book: www.heimtextil-trends.com Heimtextil International Trade Fair for Home and Contract Textiles Frankfurt am Main, 7 to 10 January 2020 Heimtextil Trends 20/21 Overview MAXIMUM GLAM Pleasure seekers revel in layering theatrical influences and glamorous showtime aesthetics, forging a fantastic marriage between the crafted and digitally rendered. Textiles show a ‘more is more’ attitude through a mashup of glam, gradients and spectrums, fake fur, pile and fringe, jacquard weaves and fantastic prints. The flashy, kitsch colour range becomes brutally glam thanks to electric sheen, synthetic shimmer, digital glitch and artful blur. A riot of clashes and rebellion. PURE SPIRITUAL Idealists seek perfection and purity, restoring equilibrium by connecting with the uber-natural. They embrace technology for good while shifting between realism and mysticism in pursuit of a personal haven.

To address a renewed bond with nature, organic matter, raw materials and pure textiles are selected which show nature’s traces, organic structures and irregularities. Shades are created from the earth and cultured by man. An elemental and pure range reflects the source of their existence. ACTIVE URBAN Urban dwellers confront the challenges of the fast paced, shape-shifting, man-made environment by searching for utilitarian, adaptable solutions. They value tech performance while making smart use of available and renewable resources. Functionality is prioritised, while looking cool and working well remains key. Interior/sportswear hybrid textiles show smooth surfaces and a fun mash-up of graphic textures. The palette shows uniform blue, asphalt grey and caterpillar yellow. HERITAGE LUX Preservers of historic legacies treasure sensuousness alongside the uncanny, enlightenment together with darkness, for a whole new immersive experience. This new narrative translates to a love for luxury and splendour, decoration and embellishment. Finding beauty in history and nature through ornamental patterning and alluring surface enhancement. Reflecting on ancient history results in a palette featuring enigmatic blood red, sapphire and a lustrous mother-ofpearl. MULTI-LOCAL Hyper-locals go global, celebrating inclusivity over appropriation, honouring traditional craftsmanship and adjusting the world’s gaze to embrace exchange, creative integrity and diverse identities. Indigenous style meets global influences. This is a celebration of crafted and decorative pattern, from tribal and folkloric to geometric and abstract. Textile colours become part of a wider cultural narrative, linked to local community, cultural heritage and private identity.

this contemporary five-bedroom home was inspired by the notion of stumbling across a hidden gem in the middle of the forest. Hues of earthy undertones are echoed throughout the home, including the openplan kitchen and family living spaces that embody the building’s connection with the natural environment. This is complemented by statement furnishings with country roots and a log burner – an exceptional centrepiece and the perfect addition for the colder winter months. Private commission by YOO Studio New Delhi, India. YOO Studio has also introduced its cutting-edge services to India, with the completion of a breath-taking private residence in New Delhi.
