HOTEL OF THE MONTH, LUXEMBOURG
Novotel Suites Luxembourg: A smart solution The Novotel Suites Luxembourg, part of the Accor Hotels group, on Avenue JF Kennedy was the first in its group to test their specific take on the suites concept. And from reviewing what is on offer, it is easy to see why the idea has since been such a phenomenal success. TEXT: MARTIN PILKINGTON | PHOTOS: NOVOTEL SUITES LUXEMBOURG
“The suites concept is aimed in particular at guests who are not just doing an overnight stay,” says manager Sonia Zaied: “Our suites are 30 square metres so they’re absolutely ideal for the traveller wanting to have a longer stay, like people spending some time in the city on business, or families making it their base while touring and looking at the city. We have businesspeople who stay for a month – they get the benefits of a hotel but also have extra comforts that make it more their own space.” 76 | Issue 25 | January 2016
The Novotel Suites Luxembourg opened in July 2010, a very modern building with cleverly contemporary touches to make it both stylish and comfortable. White is the predominant theme in the design to keep it light and airy, with bolder purple notes in some of the soft furnishings, and walls in warmer pastels.
Spaces for all conveniences The spacious main room of each suite comprises two distinct areas, to give it more of a homely feel than conventional
hotels can offer. Zaied explains: “A curtain can be pulled across to divide the space, or it can be left more open. There’s a bedroom which contains a queen-size double bed, and a living area that has a couch, flat-screen television, and other facilities to make a stay more comfortable and independent – a microwave, minibar and fridge, and a kettle. Depending on the room, there will be one or two single beds too, and always a separate bath tub and shower for convenience – we figure our guests will probably have more than one
