FOUNDER & PRESIDENT

Luckily for us, we get to find the world’s best and delve a little deeper into areas around the world where we can travel to for inspiration, relaxation and to experience the best service, facilities, cuisine and relaxing spa experiences. When we share the shortlisted properties, or winners of the Haute Grandeur Awards annually it is easy to see why many people flock to these amazing places. Some of the hotels are designed with majestic staircases, high ceilings and all the mod cons you could ever wish for, but the most important their soft furnishings are not the number one selling point. We believe Haute Grandeur member properties showcased in this edition are those that wow the traveler with outstanding experiences that are hard to find elsewhere, those that leave you with nothing less than extraordinary memories that won’t be forgotten. We are delighted to show you some of our members that are in line to be rewarded for changing challenges into opportunities and despite the downturn in global travel still remain consistent with the experiences they render to their sought after guests.

Ernesto Osuna General Manager

“Our main aim for 2021 is to continue to develop and focus on the domestic market and incentive groups” What is your current biggest challenge competing on a global scale in a highly competitive industry?

The biggest challenge for any resort trying to compete on a global scale at the moment is the global pandemic. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui has an excellent reputation as an international destination, due to its stunning beaches and aquamarine waters, an abundance of attractions, excellent cuisine, friendly people, and international airport. However, since international travel ground to a halt with the onset of the pandemic, and Thailand closed its borders, our resort has been dependent on domestic tourism.

As this era of COVID-19 is so different, and so challenging, we cannot operate like how we used to in the past, that was always based on steady growth.

We can only think completely outside of the box amid this “new normal” and try new things. We have to reinvent our knowledge and be innovative in whole new ways.

What differentiates the hotel from others in your opinion?

Our array of outstanding facilities and services differentiate Meliá Koh Samui from the competition.

However, what also differentiates our hotel is our

approach to our guests and employees in terms of genuinely caring about them, and what we do to help our community amid these difficult times. Melia Koh Samui is the first property launched in Thailand

by Melia Hotels International, Spain’s leading hotel company, and we draw upon our warm and sunny Spanish hospitality to deliver an unsurpassed guest experience.

There are kid’s clubs and then there’s our kid’s club that’s in a whole new league. Also housed in a repurposed teak wood merchant vessel, our twolevel kid’s club “Kidsdom” is packed with colourful installations, cool activities and toys, and much more. Our kid’s club is adjacent to our mini-water park with a shallow pool, slide, mushroom fountain and giant tipping bucket.

Our rooms and suites that belong to “The Level” - an upgraded level of service with an array of bespoke privileges - provide exclusive access to our executive lounge, The Level Lounge.

Meanwhile, it has been crucial to stay positive during this pandemic and taking care of our team and our associates has been a big priority. We were very fortunate that the owning company of our resort, Asset World Corporation, retained our resort’s staff and ensured our salaries during the pandemic. Not

Hotel

It is imperative we do everything we can to keep our guests, staff and community safe and healthy.

Our resort has also been granted the Thai government’s new ‘Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA)’ certificate, in recognition of our strict health, safety and hygiene measures.

How do you remain competitive within your region in terms of the hotel’s offerings?

At Meliá Koh Samui, we’re always introducing new guest experiences so there’s always something new to experience when you visit us. Our resort pays tribute to Spain’s famed gastronomy, with an excellent tapas menu, delectable paella, cured Spanish meats and much more as well as Spanish cocktails and wine.

Along with our Sunday brunch, our award-winning chef Azizskandar Awang has created degustation, vegan, vegetarian, and afternoon tea menus celebrating contemporary Thai, Western and Mediterranean fare.

We offer Muay Thai classes, held at our lush garden lawn in front of our Pool Bar that merges into our 700m-long lagoon pool. It’s a spectacular spot to learn this discipline, known as “the art of eight limbs” because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbow and knee strikes, thus using eight “points of contact” as opposed to two points (fists) in boxing and four points (hands and feet) in other combat sports. These classes are run by Khun Dowden, a professional Thai boxer industry for over 20 years’ experience who has been teaching Thai boxing classes for more than a decade.

Among our wellness offerings, we provide basic yoga classes for adults, as well as water sports such as kayaking. We have developed a schedule of exciting

activities at our kid’s club, ranging from batik painting and coconut leaf craftwork to a basic Thai class and kid’s yoga.

How do you expect the association with Haute Grandeur will benefit your brand in the medium/ long run?

It is a privilege to be associated with Haute Grandeur.

The association signals to our guests and the hotel industry that our resort Meliá Koh Samui, our YHI Spa and our Breeza Beach Restaurant & Bar Breeza have obtained the highest of achievements.

Our team was thrilled to receive six Haute Grandeur awards in 2020 including ‘Best Beach Resort in Asia’ and ‘Best New Hotel Spa on a Global Level’ and we would be honoured to do really well again this year.

Which market segment do you cater for?

With our host of family-friendly facilities and services (as outlined previously in this interview), including our Family Suites, our remarkable lagoon pool, our kid’s club Kidsdom and adjacent mini-waterpark and more, we definitely cater to families. Our resort also entices couples with our Premium Pool Access Rooms and elegant Boat Suites and array of indulgent experiences such as our floating breakfast, tapas with bubbles, and spa treatments such as a Thai massage for two on the beach and a massage class for couples dubbed the “Ultimate Hands On”.

Thanks to our award-winning chef Aziz and his delectable menus, our resort has also quickly gained a great reputation with foodies. We also appeal to spa-goers and people focused on health and wellbeing, due to our range of spa treatments, wellness pursuits and healthy cuisine.

Asia

only does this admirable move in such difficult times ensure livelihoods; this investment in our team and associates is very far-sighted in that it really set our resort on a positive trajectory for the long-term.

Mr Philippe Le Bourhis General Manager

“Our key message is, We make moments”

What differentiates the hotel from others in your opinion?

What is very interesting is our guests like to travel with their families including multiple generations.

For multigenerational families, 79 villas with delicate touches and amenities tailored for each of our visitors, such as villa butler service, private villa BBQ dinner and sunset foot massage, are the ideal place for families to bond and spend quality time together.

At the same time, Mövenpick Resort Waverly Phu Quoc is ideal for couples who like to come for a romantic getaway or stay in a honeymoon villa and for incentive groups who can use our ballroom and enjoy their gala dinner at the beach.

How do you remain competitive within your region in terms of the hotel’s offerings?

Our key message is “We make moments”, we believe life is lived for moments and all of the memorable moments will make life wonderful. We know the small gestures can make all the differences, from ordinary things in an extraordinary way – that the philosophy key to our brand success from the start.

Hotel

Which market segment do you cater for?

Our main aim for 2021 is to continue to develop and focus on the domestic market and incentive groups. We are very fortunate that Phu Quoc is a very attractive destination for these segments. We will also get ready for international business, which hopefully will start again at the end of the year.

Asia

Through this partnership, we also develop our teams and provide training so that they then carry the message to their families and local communities.

Additionally, everyone involved in the tourism industry in a destination should work together along with the local authorities to further develop local initiatives.

How do you expect the association with Haute Grandeur will benefit your brand in the medium/long run?

We have been successful in our domestic market and start to get attention from international guests.

Marko Janssen General Manager

“We want our guests to feel the Radisson Blu difference”

What is your current biggest challenge competing on a global scale in a highly competitive industry and in the current circumstance?

It’s true that the hospitality industry has struggled in the past years and will continue to recover and grow in 2021. Hospitality businesses are continually faced with many challenges regarding trends and customer expectations; the industry is rapidly growing, and organizations are struggling to keep up with the demand. And, hotel is currently one of the industries that is facing significant repercussions by the pandemic.

Travel will return. But the recovery will likely take longer than in other industries, and will vary across segments. Business and leisure travel will return at different paces, as will domestic and international travel.

Hotels face the prospect of a long recovery.

Over the coming months and years, properties’ circumstances will vary based on a number of factors, including chain scale, location, and demand profile. There is no one right response for everyone, but some guidelines apply universally. At Radisson Hotels Group (RHG), we launched the Radisson Hotels Safety Protocol, our new program of in-depth cleanliness and disinfection procedures in partnership with an independent, third-party auditor - SGS, one of the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification companies. Under this program, every Radisson Hotels can receive an official label of cleanliness and disinfection, issued by SGS, upon completion of a comprehensive local audit.

What differentiate the hotel from others?

For business travelers, demand will likely come back unevenly. Essential travel will differ by industry. In leisure, we expect higher share of domestic. Longer international leisure trips will be slow to return, and travelers will expect greater flexibility in cancelation and change fees.

Our brand selling line is “Feel the difference”, in which Radisson Blu creates memorable experiences in stylish spaces. By paying close attention to the small details that make a big difference, we inspire unforgettable experiences with every stay.

Hotel

We want our guests to feel the Radisson Blu difference, making every trip meaningful and memorable through our carefully curated touchpoints that help them make the most out of every stay with us.

Radisson Hotel Group has a long history of being a responsible business. It helps to make us a difference. We are passionate about caring for others. One of our highest priorities is the health, safety, and security of our guests, team members, and business partners. In response to this, we have reviewed our existing health and safety processes and developed a new safety protocol. This protocol was created by #RadissonCares Campaign in partnership with SGS and is designed to ensure guests safety and peace of mind from check-in to check-out. #RadissonCares is a campaign that leverages the Group’s expertise across a range of service areas to make a positive difference in the lives of its guests.

How do you remain competitive within your region in terms of the hotel’s offerings?

On Phu Quoc, we’re thrilled to pave the way for the expansion of the Radisson Hotel Group’s footprint in Vietnam and to be part of the country’s economic growth story. Our “Yes I Can” service philosophy lies at the heart of our interactions with guests, setting us apart from the others. It is reflected in the positive attitude and professional approach our team members display every day, delivering a memorable guest experience.

We pride ourselves on being Iconic and stylish whilst demonstrating genuine hospitality through our “Yes I Can” customer service ethos. We are passionate about people whether it be our customers or indeed the amazing teams within our properties. We have strategically aligned our properties within the key destinations of Phu Quoc island providing versatility to all guest platforms. Our resort is in prime locations for both the business traveler and leisure guest alike.

How do you expect the association with Haute Grandeur will benefit your brand in the medium/ long run?

Haute Grandeur Global Awards inspire even greater success in already remarkable hospitality establishments and set a new standard of excellence. Only the best of the best is awarded for exceptional achievement and greatest contribution to the global luxury hospitality industry. We are proud to win Haute Grandeur Global Award 2021 which is recognized as a guaranteed golden stamp of excellence, with associated establishments perceived as the benchmark in hotel industry.

Association with Haute Grandeur, we are provided the much needed inspiration in order to further raise our current level of service delivery to even higher one. The value of a Haute Grandeur Global Hotel Award is powerful in terms of its ability to boost marketing and promises to have a direct impact on guests perceptions and satisfaction.

...each guest finds his or her “place of the heart”, a place for quiet contemplation, to escape, to lose or find oneself

What is the most popular treatment at your spa & what makes this treatment outstanding?

Preidlhof’s jewels are the new Transformational Retreats to stimulate guests physically, energetically, spiritually, psychologically, socially, and emotionally.

Each Retreat is highly personalised, the guest experience tailored according to the goals of the individual guest, their stage in life and what he or she is ready to integrate.

Which measures did you take to ensure customers feel confident to return to the spa during the challenging times brought about by the covid pandemic?

As serious Spa we are used to having high standards of hygiene, this is our business, and we are trained to heal and help people feel safe and cared of. All measurements created with this pandemic have been implemented easily, this region is extremely efficient and organised.

I’ve organised several trainings for the whole team to learn to cope with fear & trauma related to what happened and all the psychological weights that guests and workers had to experience, and new difficulties guests experience when getting in touch with others. We have a Retreat called “Integrated Healing” where the senior Healers can really help to detox, restart and shine.

Do you run promotional activities from time to time to keep your customers excited about your offerings and to encourage them to return soon?

We’ve just launched a brand-new project that has a bi news planned for every season.

How do you as manager keep your employees motivated to ensure award winning service is always delivered?

“High service quality means satisfied guests and it is precisely the positive feedback that is the greatest motivation for our employees!”

What is the most popular treatment at your spa & what makes this treatment outstanding?

The most popular treatments are our famous signature treatments on our wavabalance lounger.

We have developed these treatments especially for our Onda Spa concept. The lounger is like a water bed with rhythmic vibes according to music and the treatment. The “wave” motions support the effectiveness & relax factor of the treatment itself.

We have selected one of them: Signature Yin & Yang Treatments A journey into yourself to the rhythm of waves

140

The exclusive Onda Spa wavebalance® Yin and Yang treatments support you on a rational and emotional level as you rediscover your regenerative abilities and creative strength. Inspired by a renewed sense of security, you will find the strength of purpose to make your dreams come true. The two treatments are ideally combined to maximise effects. To find out which treatment you should begin with, ask at the spa reception for our special self-test questionnaire.

The results are for your personal use only.

YANG CENTRING RITUAL A healing experience for improved flexibility focusing on the primal needs of Knowledge, Social Connection and Self-assertion The ebb and flow of the water from the wavebalance® Sound waterbed is transferred gently to your entire body. The resulting state of release promotes a mindful approach to functional and spiritual motion.

Movement processes are harmonised and redefined on a cellular level according to their original wave and spiral-shaped dynamics. As you absorb the sound vibrations and let go completely, your thoughts stop racing and your mind is cleared. You feel at peace, re-centred, and full of new energy. Even your sports performance can be improved sustainably.

Optionally, this treatment can be administered. with oil for an enhanced flowing sensation.

Kees Hogetoorn General Manager

At Sofitel Spa, we meet the refinement and skills of the latest trends in French cosmetology to create an exhilarating, uplifting and rejuvenating spa experience.

What is the most popular treatment at your spa & what makes this treatment outstanding?

The celebration for Two is the most popular treatment at our Sofitel SPA. It is a couple treatment whereby the couples receive a glass of champagne and can relish together with a duo-massage. It enhances a luxury feeling and guests feel really pampered. We have lots of couples who want to celebrate together, an anniversary for example, and the Celebration for Two is then the perfect treatment.

Which measures did you take to ensure customers feel confident to return to the spa during the challenging times brough about by covid pandemic?

The safety of our guests remains our greatest priority at Sofitel SPA. Since last week, our Sofitel SPA has opened its doors again for guests to come and enjoy indulging treatments, get sportive in the gym or to take a relaxing dip in the pool. Reservations for the Sofitel SPA and FITNESS are mandatory, in this way we can regulate the number of guests in our areas. Furthermore, we provide a disposable towel before we start the treatment, and we always use

facemasks and of course wash our hands frequently and before every treatment. All areas are cleaned regularly with disinfecting cleaning supplies.

Do you run promotional activities from time to time to keep your customers excited about your offering and to encourage them to return soon?

We run promotional activities frequently to make sure that our guests know about out offerings and get excited to return. To illustrate, we send out newsletters every month, highlighting our recent offerings including our Sofitel SPA offerings. Besides, we are continuously busy with creating organic and paid advertisement content, not only about our offerings but also about our CSR actions for example. Besides, we created various new packages and options during COVID-19 to attract local guests for example we created several Staycation packages.

Besides the Sofitel SPA offerings, we have created take-away options such as The Grand Picnic Box by Bridges. Also, we have opened The Grand Beach in May which will definitely get our guests excited to return to Sofitel Legend The Grand in general.

Spa

By involving them in what goes on at the Sofitel SPA. Letting them bring ideas to the table and sharing the success with them. It is a true team effort!

What do you think sets your spa apart from others in your area?

We have a lot of returning guest because we provide high quality treatments and deliver a total experience with a personal approach. We get lots of comments that the massages are outstanding. We have created exclusive packages which combines treatments with champagne and a surprise gift box for example, to make it a more luxury experience. At Sofitel Spa, we meet the refinement and skills of the latest trends in French cosmetology to create an exhilarating, uplifting and rejuvenating spa experience. We use only the best quality products from Cinq Mondes, a natural brand which offers a suitable solution for all skin types and the specific needs to stimulate and rebalance the skin’s cellular metabolism thanks to 10 super oils and 11 patented super plants.

Which facilities can guests use at the spa after a treatment to relax and unwind?

The pool and sauna can be used after a treatment to relax and unwind.

What unique selling point do you have to attract new clients that might be interesting to the readers?

The Grand Beach. Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam transformed the historic courtyard into a real sandy beach of over 380m2, including outdoor bar, Big Green Egg barbeques, various comfortable seating areas and cabanas. Guests of Sofitel SPA can combine a treatment with some drinks and Caribbean bites at The Grand Beach. With this city beach initiative, The Grand once again brings this beachy holiday feeling to the heart of Amsterdam. After the great success of last year’s edition which inspired by the French Côte d’Azur, The Grand decided to let The Grand Beach return in 2021 with a new culinary theme. The dishes on the menus are inspired by the Caribbean cuisine – known for its barbeque dishes and fresh fish in combination with spicy marinades and chutneys – and includes dishes such as sea bass, grilled octopus and fresh salads with king prawns and tropical fruits like mango. In addition, the classic delicacies such as oysters can also be found on the menu. The bar serves tropical cocktails with mostly rum as a base, think about Frozen Pina Colada, Classic or Strawberry Mojito and Dark ‘n Stormy. Throughout the summer, various special events will be organised such as PiperHeidsieck Cinema Nights, Brugal BBQ Sundays and Lobster Nights.
