The 2 AA Rosette restaurant is now headed up by Dean Williams, who joins 1907 after four years as executive head chef at Old Thorns Manor Hotel in Liphook. He had also enjoyed roles as head chef of Silvermere Inn on the Lake in Cobham, senior sous chef at Loseley Park in Guildford and chef de partie at Morgans Hotel and Oxwich Bay Hotel in Swansea.

“I look forward to continuing the hard work and innovation that has led to an outstanding reputation for 1907, which is so much more than a standard hotel restaurant,” says Williams. “As well as an indulgence for guests staying at the hotel, all the team and I also want to continue to build on the progress of welcoming non-hotel guests at weekends and especially mid-week, as well as continue the creativity and skilled work that go into Brooklands Hotel’s excellent offerings for events, celebrations, business lunches,

weddings and more.”

Williams is joined by another new colleague at 1907, Valentino Gentile, newly appointed as sous chef.

One of the first tasks Williams has undertaken at the 1930’s inspired restaurant is to revitalise the menu at 1907, to bring in an early taste of autumn.

Newly-introduced dishes include nine new starters and mains, as well as an entirely new dessert menu of six sweet treats.

The new dishes on the menu at 1907 are joined by new cocktails at the bar, designed by the bar’s team of charismatic mixologists.

The 1907 is part of the 131-bedroom Brooklands Hotel which opened in 2010.

“Following the recent Carlson Rezidor signings of Radisson Red hotels in Asia (Shenyang Hunan; China) and Africa (Cape Town; South Africa), we are proud to announce the first new-build property in Europe. Glasgow is one of the strongest markets in the UK, and Radisson Red will add a vibrant new concept to the city’s hospitality sector. Inspired by the millennial lifestyle trends, the brand addresses

Set for ambitious growth in urban locations, Radisson Red targets 60+ hotels worldwide by the year 2020”, added Elie Younes, Executive Vice President & Chief Development Officer of Rezidor.

News New GM for Apex hotel City of Glasgow premises on Bath Street this autumn following an extensive £10.5 million refurbishment.

Scottish hotel group Apex Hotels has announced the appointment of Helen Gallagher as the general manager of its new 104 bedroom City of Glasgow hotel – its first venture in the city.

Helen has 15 years’ experience in the hospitality industry working for a number of quality hotels. She will lead the opening of the new four star

A Glasgow girl born and bred, the move marks a homecoming for Helen who has previously held roles at The Scotsman, Princes Street Suites, Oban Bay Hotel and Spa and Rocco Forte Hotels among others. Helen holds a degree in Business Studies and an Honours degree in Business Economics from Glasgow Caledonian University. She also completed the General Managers Programme at Cornell University in New York.

Helen comments: “The ethos of Apex Hotels really attracted me to the position. It’s a family business and, while it has grown into a successful

hotel group, it hasn’t lost that personal touch. Not only does it offer a quality product, the company’s approach to people management is inclusive and inspiring which ultimately means visitors get an outstanding level of service from the team – something which Apex Hotels is well-known for.”

Angela Vickers, CEO of Apex Hotels, commented: “Helen has an excellent reputation in the industry and her experience speaks for itself. We see a significant opportunity in the Glasgow market – the hotel is well-located and we have invested substantially in refurbishing the property to the Apex standard. With 60 new jobs being created, we are building a strong team ahead of our autumn opening.”

Two more Ultimate Cafes open in partnership with major retailer Independent coffee shop The Interesting Eating Company has launched a further two Ultimate Cafe outlets in partnership with Ultimate Outdoors.

As part of the long-term affiliation between the local eatery and the outdoor retail giant owned by JD Sports Fashion plc, the brand provides inhouse coffee shops in the new Dudley and Nottingham Ultimate Outdoors.

Similar to the original Preston-based site, Ultimate Cafe is homed on the ground floor of both venues located within Merry Hill (Dudley) and Castle Marina Retail Park (Nottingham), and mirrors The Interesting Eating Company’s ‘great food and service’ ethos.

“As an independent, it’s fantastic to have filled a gap in the market between local SMEs and retail giants.”

Ultimate Cafe located within Ultimate Outdoors echoes The Interesting

Eating Company’s signature branding and quirky offerings, which include specialty pancakes and waffles, ‘grab and go’ light bites, cakes and freshly prepared gluten free variations, as well as barista hot beverages. To keep children entertained, the new sites also feature large scale state-ofthe-art indoor soft play areas, which enable youngsters to exercise while having fun.

Fellow Director of The Interesting Eating Company Andrea Edwards said: “The longevity of our partnership with Ultimate Outdoors goes to show how an independent business can develop its reputation and credibility within

such a fast paced industry and gain the respect of a large national retailer.”

Ultimate Cafe has provided 40 new jobs across the three sites, whereby staff members have undergone various training and development schemes.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

Director of The Interesting Eating Company Nichola Lee said: “Having approached and successfully struck a partnership with the sports fashion and outdoor group, and now to have established three Ultimate Cafes spanning across the UK, it gives us a great sense of pride and achievement to see how the brand has developed.

Since setting up The Interesting Eating Company back in 2012, we have been keen to extend our offerings and maximise our customer reach.

News

London hotels 85% occupancy in August STR Global’s preliminary August 2015 data for London, England, indicates increases in average daily rate and revenue per available room.

Based on daily data from August, London reported: increases in supply (+2.3%) and demand (+0.5%); a 1.8% decrease in occupancy to 85.4%; a 4.2% increase in ADR to GBP141.59; and a 2.4% increase in RevPAR to GBP120.90.

London hosted the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress from 29 August through 2 September.

According to STR Global analysts, London hotels have seen consistent growth in transient demand but a decline in group demand with lower rates available outside the capital. In addition, the weakening of the Euro against the British Pound continues to lead to more affordable outbound travel from the market. Even with those factors and an increase in supply, London’s absolute occupancy in August eclipsed 85.0%.

STR Global will release August 2015 results during the week of 21 September.

About STR Global STR Global provides clients— including hotel operators, developers,

financiers, analysts and suppliers to the hotel industry—access to hotel research with regular and custom reports covering Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and Central/South America.

Royal Exchange presents refreshed spaces and menus

London’s Royal Exchange by Bank has always been a stunning building and, this week, D&D London is reopening its refurbished hospitality offerings. And they look well worth a visit.

On the mezzanines, the new Threadneedle Bar and an all-day dining Gallery will be unveiled, alongside Restaurant Sauterelle (pictured above). All three overlook the existing Grand Café and boutiques on the ground floor.

At Sauterelle, Executive Chef Stefano Leone will serve a new modern menu drawing inspiration

from the repertoire and flavours of Provence and Liguria, sourcing ingredients from the Mediterranean and Britain, with a focus on sustainable produce. New entries include Marinated Loch Var salmon, sea leaves and fish broth and Tortelli di Zucca Gialla, while meat-loving palates can opt for Rhug Estate organic Aberdeen Angus beef fillet with roasted shallots, blue creamed potatoes and Barolo jus, as well as Gloucester old spot pork, pancetta, espelette chilli and pequillo pepper.

For drinks and cocktails the new Threadneedle Bar (above), which

Highlights from the bar food menu include Rock oyster tempura with Vietnamese dipping sauce; truffled goat’s curd on sourdough and soft shell crab, buttermilk and chilli, wild rocket, saffron aioli and grilled brioche.

The Grand Café and Gallery (above) will also serve a refreshed all-day menu focused on European Classics.

Interior design agency Russell Sage Studio has developed and unified the individual spaces by pairing rich shades of blue, cognac and other dark hues as well as introducing a new lighting scheme throughout.

Leading florist McQueens have also worked closely with Russell Sage Studio to bring warmth and intimacy to the space.

pebble&co:

“Hotels should be living things not stuffy institutions”

Defining the scent of a hotel “Hotels should be living things not stuffy institutions” maintain Tim and Kit Kemp, owners of Firmdale Hotels - a mantra that is clearly written throughout their eight boutique hotels in London and their New York outpost, Crosby Street. Kit Kemp has designed the interiors of each hotel in her unique personal way which reflects a fresh, modern English style.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

Firmdale Hotel’s unique design point of view and strong brand handwriting made them an ideal partner for pebble&co, creators and designers of bespoke fragrance, bath and body ranges. In creating RIKRAK, pebble&co struck a fine balance, bringing to life a collection that would thrive within the world’s most aspirational and sought after retail destinations as well as appeal to the tastemakers of style both within, and beyond, the Firmdale Hotels’ doors. RIKRAK is also the name of one of Kit’s compelling textile designs featured as the iconic packaging backdrop. If you visit Firmdale’s newest hotel, Ham Yard in central London, RIKRAK is everywhere in touches; on a wall, a curtain, a chair, and as a striking product within all bathrooms. By partnering with pebble&co, a complete holistic brand experience was created.

10

As well as being masters of creativity when it comes to developing and nurturing a new product line, pebble&co are also equipped to handle all budget and practical development requirements. The team understand that commercially, a bespoke amenities range can provide a lucrative business solution by reducing amenities spend and avoiding additional costs such as branded mark ups and license related costs. There are also the financial upsides provided by an additional revenue stream offering solid margin returns, expanded distribution and brand awareness avenues as well as a fresh PR and marketing focus.

There really is no better way to sell product than to have customers try it – a great benefit afforded to own branded amenities collections where product trial occurs in a very natural and sympathetic environment – the guests’ hotel room or restaurant bathroom. Fragrance products such as candles or bath and body also provide the ultimate in gifting, allowing guests to take away a little piece of their stay, a memento from their five star experience. pebble&co firmly believe in creating a sense of mood and atmosphere through fragrance, a sentiment shared by Kit Kemp. In her book, A Living Space, Kemp explains: “Often it is the invisible things such as smell that creates a sense of luxury in a space…adding fragrance can have as much an impact on how someone feels in a room as can the choice of furniture or wallpaper used… scent is often the thing you take away as the memory of a room, remembering it long after you’ve left it.” pebble&co’s bespoke amenities allow for exploration of a brand’s creativity through scent, texture and aesthetics, a compelling offer that embodies the essence of their own brand story.

Craig Markham, Director of PR & Marketing, Firmdale Hotels affirms ‘Working with pebble&co has been a hugely positive experience. We feel we have created something very special and unique to the marketplace’ For more information on creating a bespoke fragrance collection call pebble&co on 0203 598 6129 or visit www.pebbleandco.co.uk

TRAKHUPFER HELPS DELIVER BREAKFAST IN BED FOR RAGDALE HALL GUESTS

Merseyside based TrakHUPFER has supplied four of its ISOBOX® Mobil foodservice trolleys to Ragdale Hall, the award winning residential Health Hydro and Thermal Spa near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.

Ragdale Hall provides guests with a balanced environment for fitness, well-being and relaxation, which includes pre-ordered breakfast room service for a tranquil start to the day. Breakfast includes a variety of freshly prepared, health conscious menu items including hot pastries, Danish pastries, croissants and wraps. Ragdale’s investment in the TrakHUPFER ISOBOX® Mobil foodservice trolleys was driven by the need to serve breakfast in 93 rooms, over three floors, in a little over an hour, without deterioration in the quality of hot breakfast items.

Cooked, freshly prepared food is placed in the pre-heated insulated foodservice trolleys in the kitchen, before the trolleys are transferred to the residential landings by lift. The trolleys, which incorporate modular heating panels, are plugged into an electricity supply at a landing service station, maintaining the unit’s holding temperature above 63oC for food safety and optimum product quality. The foodservice trolleys feature fan assisted heating, eliminating the potential for condensation, which compromises the quality of the pastries.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

Ragdale Hall’s Executive Head Chef, David Ross, reported that the ISOBOX® Mobil foodservice trolleys had helped improve and extend the spa’s breakfast offer: “We now have the ability to deliver a much broader breakfast menu, including sweet and savoury hot pastries, with the confidence that product quality will be maintained throughout the breakfast service. We couldn’t have considered extending our breakfast menu before we purchased the TrakHUPFER trolleys.”

12

The small footprint ISOBOX® Mobil trolleys are castor mounted for ease of manoeuvrability through the narrow lifts and corridors of Ragdale Hall. The units have 12 pan supports to accommodate 1/1 GN stainless steel pans, providing sufficient capacity for one unit to serve breakfast on a complete floor of up to 50 rooms.The stainless steel and aluminium units have bump resistant solid bumper corners and are inherently robust to meet the day-to-day rigours of movement and service. The optional modular heating panels are capable of heating the holding units at up to 100oC, with precise temperature set and maintained via digital controls.

David Ross added: “Before we purchased the TrakHUPFER trolleys we were using simple insulated boxes.

Adopting the new trolleys has enabled us to provide our guests with a greater breakfast choice, delivered to their rooms, maintaining the high standards people have come to expect at Ragdale.”

BEST OF BRITISH SHOWCASED AT JANUARY FURNITURE SHOW Flying the flag for Britain, the January Furniture Show 2016 will be the place to be for architects, designers and specifiers to see the Best of British designs.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

Following the success of last year’s event, the January Furniture Show is set to be bigger and better as it celebrates taking on additional space for its all-star line-up - with over 85% of its exhibitors being UK-based.

22

The show, which runs over four days (24-27 January) has expanded into Hall 5 as more quality industry names join up creating a one-stop shop of the latest furniture and furnishings.

Said Laraine Janes, co-director of the January Furniture Show: “There has been a huge emphasis on buying British and the promotion of home-based businesses over the past decade. The January Furniture Show provides a fantastic platform for those companies to showcase their products to a range of key national and international buyers.

“Not only that, we’re starting to see confidence grow in the market which has resulted in the event booking up fast with new exhibitors alongside an 85% re-booking from last year. It all goes to confirm our position as the UK’s number one furniture and furnishings event.”

Architects and designers visiting the 2016 January Furniture Show will gain a wide range of furniture and furnishings inspiration with the newly added Fabric Pavilion and Flooring Showcase which includes some of the best known names in the business.

The unrivalled exhibitor list of over 400 major names attracts retailers, interior designers, contract buyers, architects and developers to the NEC in Birmingham – an ideal venue for the furniture industry’s annual showcase event.

Parker Knoll, Ultra Furniture, Serene Furnishings, TCS, Rauch, Alstons, Sherborne, Buoyant Upholstery, Baker Furniture, Gallery Direct, Blue Bone, Duresta, Willis & Gambier and Stone the Crows and are just some of the renowned British brand names that are taking bigger and better stands for the 2016 event ready to showcase their wares to the UK architect and interior design market.

Said Laraine: “Those who are interested in sourcing products for commercial or domestic projects can see all their main suppliers under one roof in a day. The January Furniture Show is the first opportunity of the year to see a selection of the very latest new and exclusive developments and even meet the design teams on the stands to discuss any upcoming projects.”

The January Furniture Show was recently named 2015 Best New Show by readers of Interiors Monthly.

Online registration for the January Furniture Show is open and visitors can see the full list of exhibitors for 2016 and secure their free badge by visiting www.januaryfurnitureshow.com

How much attention do you pay to the unsung heroes of the kitchen, the equipment you use daily in the prep, cooking, cleaning & storing of your food?

Choosing the right equipment to suit your budget & your kitchen is essential in running a smooth operation. With this in mind here are some key considerations to think about when ordering your next piece of equipment: Space: How much space do you have, what will you store in it, will it fit on top of or under that work surface, how and who will use it, will it fit through your doors, are you going to be moving it, if so are casters important.

Cost: Not only should you consider the initial outlay for your purchase, there are wider reaching costs, you as a business should be mindful of. Is the equipment as environmentally friendly as it can be, are you disposing of any old kit in an environmentally friendly manner?

Durability: Yes there are enticingly good deals out there on any product you could possibly need in your kitchen. It goes without saying that some

are made better than others, and as the cliché goes, you get what you pay for! Opt for cheaper, unknown, unbranded goods and you could pay the price later (pun intended!) If your equipment is billed as stainless steel, try and stick a magnate to it, if it sticks it’s possible that it’s made of inferior quality stainless steel.

Cleaning: Food safety & more so the safety of your customers is key, is the kit your buying easy to clean, does it have door seals that pop off & on for quick cleaning, can you easily get to those hard to reach nooks and crannies?

Warranty & Service: Any reputable supplier or equipment manufacturer will offer a minimum of 1-2 years parts and labour warranty; however this varies from supplier to supplier.

To ensure your sparking bit of kit runs as efficiently as it should you should have it serviced at least once a year.

Choosing kitchen equipment is an essential yet stressful part of your job. Alliance is the leading non-food catering equipment supplier & kitchen designer to the hospitality industry with over 15 years’ experience. Supplying brands such as Rational, Winterhalter, Karcher, Robot Coupe, Grants and more!

Chiller Box Helps Drive Olive Oil & Oregano Expansion in the UK

CEDA members Chiller Box have become the supporting force driving the UK expansion of Greekbased open-kitchen grill restaurant chain Olive Oil & Oregano.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

Explaining the growing partnership Chiller Box managing director Marios Poumpouris, comments, “Olive Oil & Oregano is the biggest Mediterranean grill restaurant chain in Greece, also with outlets in Cyprus, Bulgaria, Germany and the UK. They opened new restaurants in the Westfield Stratford City and Westfield Merryhill shopping centres, and we provided some equipment and advice for the Stratford site.

32

“With their next opening at the Lakeside shopping centre they were looking for a strong local partner that understands their concept, and expansion plans, and one that could handle the obvious challenges of designing, constructing and opening a new restaurant with the timing, access and noise restrictions that busy shopping centre environments have.

“Being a CEDA member and offering services from design and equipment specification through to ongoing service and advice, coupled with the fact that we are a business with Greek origins means that we can deliver all they require, and quite literally speak their language.”

With a detailed brief in-hand Chiller Box worked closely with Olive Oil & Oregano’s interior design partner to

overcome the space, budget and logistical challenges.

Parent company Patafritas S.A had used Greek suppliers for some of the equipment specified in the Westfield projects, but had some hiccups with logistics, compatibility and standards.

Marios Poumpouris adds, “After a few headaches with catering equipment brought in directly from Greece Chiller Box was given full charge of designing, specifying and installing what works best for Lakeside.

In some cases it was slightly more expensive, but will work out more cost-effective in the long-term, and obviously includes our ongoing service and support.

“More than this we have also been asked to support Olive Oil & Oregano as they look for new potential sites in the UK working with property agents on their behalf.”

Talking about the latest project for Chiller Box Adam Mason, CEDA director general, notes, “It’s fantastic that Chiller Box has created such a strong working relationship with Olive Oil & Oregano’s UK and Greek management to deliver this project into Lakeside.

“It underlines their professional approach and commitment to go the extra mile, something that you would expect from a CEDA member. Well done to them and I’m sure we’ll see more Olive Oil & Oregano restaurants opening across the UK with Chiller Box’s strong support.”

PANTHEON’S NEW COMBINATIONS OFFER A LITTLE EXTRA!

P

antheon has launched its first range of steam combination ovens. However, instead of the more usual 6 and 10 grid sizes commonly available, the smallest ovens in Pantheon’s new range are 7 and 11 grid, followed by a more conventional 20 and 40 grid. This decision was primarily down to extensive customer and dealer research that preceded the final designs in which the feedback overwhelmingly supported the notion that size does matter!

Intended for a wide variety of applications, field trials have now taken place in establishments ranging from pub kitchens to a Michelin restaurant and results across baking, roasting, grilling, browning, steaming, stewing and low temperature cooking have proven outstanding.

Importantly, the ovens all feature their own, internal water heaters which help ensure a very reliable and consistent steam source without the potential problem of rapid scale build-up. The ovens provide 67 fully automated programmes with temperatures ranging from between 20°C and 270° C for steam convection and convection cooking and between 20°C and 100°C for steam only. A food hold facility operating at 50°C can be incorporated into any programme or used in isolation and the ovens can also be operated manually if preferred.

A highly advanced, integral self-clean system with 2 levels of wash cycle and a rinse cycle simplifies daily maintenance and helps ensure optimum performance at all times.

• Internal water heater • Pre-cooking heat up facility • Rapid cool down • Choice of 2 fan speeds • 2 self-clean cycles with rinse • Easy to use control panel • Controls and indicators can be seen from any angle • Steam jet function for rapid steam • Stands, trolleys and condenser hoods available • Cooked food holding facility List prices start at £8979 for the 7 grid oven. Pantheon’s all-encompassing 12 months parts and labour warranty applies.

What were the main drivers behind working with IMC to manage your waste?

Since starting to recycle our food we wanted to further reduce our carbon footprint, we had already become zero to landfill with the help of Compactors Direct.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

Compactors Direct approached us with the IMC system as they are distributors of the IMC Waste station. Unfortunately as in most hotels of our size space is a premium in our kitchens. Working with Compactors Direct and IMC we came up with a solution of having the waste station built into our main dishwasher. This enable us to reduce the food waste at the point of source and maximize our food waste recycling as well as reducing our food waste collection and reducing our own carbon footprint.

34

What results have you seen so far, both in terms of reducing carbon footprint and financial savings?

Our food waste has been reduced by up to 80% so our food waste collection have been greatly reduced so we have seen significant savings in this area also as we are not having as many food waste collections our carbon footprint has also been greatly reduced. One of the benefits of dewatering is the removal of the odors associated with waste food which is not only unpleasant but can attract all manner of vermin.

On top of technologies like those provided by IMC, how important are small changes within your business to reducing waste? (For example, changing staff culture, training, smaller portions, and so on) Please give some examples of these at your business.

With working with Compactors Direct and also IMC we have installed a glass crusher to reduce our glass collections, as baler to reduce our cardboard collections and a bin press to reduce the collections of our DMR. It is very important for Melia Whitehouse to ensure that we are completely zero

to landfill and fully able to recycle to the highest level as well as reducing our carbon footprint.

When we first started to recycle we had full training for all of our staff and continue with ongoing training so that new staff and existing staff are kept up to date with the hotels ethos on increasing our recycling rates and the continued reduction of our carbon footprint. Meliå Hotels International is now looking at installing the IMC waste station in our hotels that are currently being built in the UK. In recent years how much have customers’ attitudes changed towards waste reduction? Is it more important for them now that businesses do have an effective strategy in place?

In recent years we have found that our customers are more aware of how businesses are dealing with their waste and are interested in finding out how they have taken steps to reduce both their waste and carbon footprint.

At Melia Whitehouse we are very proud of being able to promote to our customers that we are proactive in our reduction of waste, being able to fully recycle and the reduction of our carbon footprint.

Cut the cost of food waste disposal with a liquidfoodcomposterfromCompactorsDirect For restaurants and hotels struggling with ever-increasing quantities of food waste, which can be both costly and timeconsuming to deal with, help is at hand with a new range of food waste solutions available from Compactors Direct. The range includes the liquid food composter (LFC), a machine that streamlines operations and greatly reduces the costs of food waste disposal.

With simple, safe, quiet and odour-free operation, the LFC is a fully enclosed, automatic composting machine that disposes of any raw or cooked food matter within 24 hours, making it the ideal processing station of choice for sites of food production. Once installed in the kitchen or work area, you can add food waste to the unit at any time and only grey water is safely discharged into the sewage system. Water is injected into the LFC to maintain equilibrium for its microorganisms, to rapidly decompose the food, and to flush composted material out of the machine. An internal rotating arm slowly churns the waste to constantly mix the old and new food, oxygen, and micro-organisms to enhance the decomposing function.

In reducing the volume of food waste that would otherwise be placed in rubbish bins, with the attendant labour time, smells and attraction to flies and rodents that would entail, a catering establishment’s environmental credentials are

hugely boosted by a reduced carbon footprint and adherence to a ‘zero to landfill’ policy.

The LFC’s cloud-connected diagnostics system, with touchscreen interface, continuously monitors and reports data on the weight of food waste produced and can be accessed remotely via any computer, tablet or smartphone.

Reporting on savings made is efficient and easily measurable, while scheduling maintenance and even data aggregation across multiple machines are further tools at your fingertips.

The LFC is available in a range of capacities to suit all sizes of establishment. With payback typically between six and 24 months, a business will see a return on investment within a maximum of two years.

Compactors Direct is the sole supplier of PowerKnot LFC machines in the UK and also offers a full range of total waste management services and equipment, including compactors, cardboard balers, glass crushers and food dewatering machines.

NEW EMERALD CLASS IS A GEM AMONGST ICE MAKERS Hoshizaki has launched Emerald Class, a new range of environmentally friendly, energy saving ice makers.

With an international reputation for sustainable innovation, durability and reliability, ice maker and refrigeration manufacturer, Hoshizaki, is leading the field in the development of hydrocarbon refrigerated ice makers and new Emerald Class represents an important step in the future of ice machine design.

This pioneering range, which includes cube, flake and nugget machines with capacities ranging from 22 – 340 kgs per day, is the result of many years of research and development in the role of natural refrigerants. Emerald Class uses only naturally occurring hydrocarbon (R290) refrigerant which, as well as having a negligible effect on global warming, with a GWP value of under 5, uses significantly less energy. For example, in optimum conditions, the smallest machine in the range, the undercounter IM21-CNE-HC, can realise savings of over 30%!

Hydrocarbons (HCs) are naturally occurring substances that have proven to be some of the most climate-friendly and cost-efficient refrigerants to heat, cool and freeze.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design

The advantages include:

36

• Good compatibility with components • low charges allowing smaller heat exchangers and piping dimensions • very low global warming potential • excellent thermodynamic properties resulting in high energy efficiency.

• Emerald Class ranges from small undercounter machines to large capacity stand alone units.

With Pedalo boats, Windsurfing, Kayaking, Paddle Boarding and Hobie Cat Sailing available at no extra cost, it can give kids the perfect release of all the pent up energy and excitement.

Sink Perfection The Chesney’s Architectural team can create almost anything out of solid stone or marble. Whether it is a bath, a fire-surround, a staircase or a sink, the result is guaranteed to be absolutely stunning. This beautiful stone sink is no exception with its elegant curves and beautifulsymmetry.

“ I have always been enthused and inspired by great design, in whichever form this may take. Inspiration often comes from various sources; the world around me, an old hand drawing or a picture in a magazine. The inspiration for the ‘stamp sink’ came from a magazine advertisement for a hotel which featured an impressive sink within one of its master suites. The following week I came across a beautiful marble that I knew would complement the design perfectly. I wanted the stamp sink to look and feel robust yet elegant, timeless and beautiful; a collectors piece. The perfect synergy of design and materials. I believe we have achieved this.”

Take time to slow down in London

Unique and lovingly designed furnishings that go down a treat with guests “The rooms were beautifully furnished,” say hotel guests on various review sites. In particular, it’s the attention to detail and the individual character of each of the 20 rooms that create this impression. The carefully selected decorative fabrics are crucial in creating the harmonious atmosphere. When it came to curtains, the contract went to a German company: drapilux, located in Emsdetten, is one of the leading providers for commercial properties.

Eye-catching: curtains from the core collection The colourful, woven curtain fabric, item 159 from the core collection, puts the hotel rooms in the perfect light. “The special thing about this item

is the interplay of technology and material. The texture and multicoloured striped design give the material its special character, both in its look and feel,” says Head Designer Kirstin Herrmann.

The spectrum of colours harmonise with the wood of the shelves and picture frames in the room.

The architects from ADS Design & Brand Development and the hotel management were particularly impressed by the scientifically proven added benefits of the fabrics: they are fire-retardant and feature the air-purifying drapilux air function.

The metal salts contained in the material work like a car’s catalytic converter and thereby ensure a constant supply of fresh air and a healthy indoor climate. Another advantage for the hotel: because of their catalytic action, these textiles need washing much less frequently than traditional wool, silk or linen curtains. They can go twice as long without being washed, reducing laundry costs, increasing the lifespan of the products and protecting the environment all at once.

The fabrics comply with the most stringent national and international safety standards and fulfil the special requirements that are becoming increasingly important for luxury hotels and holiday apartments. An elegant atmosphere. Functionality.

Comfort and safety.

T

he vibrant city of London is a Mecca for savvy shoppers, art lovers and revellers.

The district of Kew to the west of the British capital is famous for its Royal Botanic Gardens, which are one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. Just ten minutes’ walk from the gardens and three from the famous restaurant The Glasshouse, past exquisite shoe shops and quaint cafés in Kew Village, is the small and exceedingly charming Kew Gardens Hotel.
