Fitness hub turned into a luxury hoteL When fitness giant Equinox decided to enter the luxury hotel segment, it chose Manhattan’s Hudson Yards—NY’s new Rockefeller Center—with Rockwell Group interiors and affluent neighbors such as Coach, L’Oréal, and New York’s most hyped lookout point today: The Vessel. Upon entering the hotel, one can feel the urban setting and the inclination toward physical fitness, with the largest Equinox club ever built (over 18,000 sqm), a cryotherapy room, spa and an infinity reflecting pool on the terrace. Its rooms have smart layouts, padded walls and soft carpets. The hotel is part of the Grand Luxury Group chain, specializing in exceptional travel experiences and prime services, with attention to detail and the magic that makes it unique. 2

Las Vegas with a gourmet EXPERIENCE To the surprise of many, the traditional Delano Las Vegas offers haute cuisine signed by one of the most influential chefs today: Frenchman Alain Ducasse. Together with executive chef Bruno Riou, Ducasse runs the kitchen of the Rivea, the hotel’s restaurant. There, the cuisine is inspired by the French and Italian Rivieras, focused on simple and fresh flavors of the Mediterranean, prepared with the best seasonal ingredients from the American West Coast. The relaxed atmosphere—with interior design signed by Frenchmen Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku—is perfect for appreciating the colors, flavors and aromas of Southern France and Italy.

When 19th century meets 21st century In Tel Aviv, The Jaffa is installed in a renovated 19th century Neo-Renaissance building. The hotel is the first venture of American tycoon Aby Rosen, co-founder of RFR Holding. Rosen is known as one of the world’s leading art collectors, with a collection worth an estimated $700 million. So, it was not by chance that the hotel’s facilities were chosen to be installed in an old U-shaped building located over the ruins, with an internal patio and two floors. The building style is inspired by the Roman Renaissance, a harmony of arches, columns and stone statues, stained glass, braided laurels and iron flowers. The hotel’s interior design was carried out in partnership with Israeli Ramy Gil and Englishman John Pawson. The result is a subtle complicity between the two centuries.
