The seasonally focused fine diner has a handful of new edible innovations to show off.

Despite only opening its doors a few months ago, Uni Restaurant & Bar has quickly established itself as one of Bali’s favourite restaurants. The Berawa fine diner, the side project of Mexicola Group Executive Chef Steve Skelly and Group Service Manager Nicolas Lento, is a haunt for tourists and expats alike, tempted by the restaurant’s innova tive seafood-focused dishes.

As the new year arrives it brings with it a new menu from the duo. Just as experimental as previous offerings, this slew of new dishes upholds the same focus on flavour and fresh ingredients.

Updating the restaurant’s menu will be a regular occurrence for Uni, who want to keep guests intrigued. “We need to stay on our toes because we have guests coming two to three times per week,” explains Steve Skelly. “Last week we had a couple in four nights in a row!”

New dishes range from sweet to savoury; tuck into heaped plates of sea urchin fettuccine, topped with caviar and that seaweed butter. Then there’s kombu-cured snapper, paired with seaweed and drizzled with sesame oil, and tuna nigiri, served with caviar and fresh wasabi among others.

Fans of the crab lasagne need not fear. The dish which has gained a cult-like status for the restaurant is Uni’s most popu lar order and will remain. “People are even asking for it to be on Gojek!” says Skelly.

The sweet of tooth will be pleased to hear that the Skelly’s famed Basque cheese cake will arrive on the dessert menu permanently. The creamy treat will come accompanied by fermented honey, bee pollen and sea salt.

And that’s not forgetting the drinks menu, which will similarly revamp regularly. Accompanying one of Bali’s best collec tions of wine, Uni’s drinks list includes a series of unorthodox takes on the cocktail.

The latest addition is savoury; a combina tion of Chinese tea-inspired gin (lapsang souchoung), mixed with tomato water, soda and sage.

Uni’s new menu is available to sample now. The venue serves dinner seven days a week, from 6.00pm to 12.00am.

Heimtextil will launch the new 2020/2021 trend season with the general theme “WHERE I BELONG”. This season, Stijlinstituut Amsterdam is responsible for the Trend Book content and Trend Space implementation at the upcoming interna tional 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 dis cussion 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 histori cal 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.

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 bewilder ing: 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 pro vide invaluable insight and inspiration for visitors and exhibitors alike, complementing the curated showcase of aesthetic design and colour trends. Each showcased sam ple 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

Heimtextil International Trade Fair for Home and Contract Textiles

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 compo nents 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

MAXIMUM GLAM

Pleasure seekers revel in layering theatrical influences and glamorous showtime aesthetics, forging a fantastic mar riage between the crafted and digitally rendered. Textiles show a ‘more is more’ attitude through a mash-up 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 equilib rium 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 perfor mance 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 paletteshows 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, dec oration and embellishment. Finding beauty in history and nature through ornamental patterning and alluring surface enhancement. Reflecting on ancient history results in a pal ette 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 deco rative 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.

Making 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 deter mine 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

Realistically, owners see a 3.5 to 5.5 percent increase in their room revenue, with some hotels reporting improve ments as high as 14 percent.

2. WHAT DOES “REVENUE OPTIMIZATION” MEAN, AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Optimizing room revenue has two significant compo nents: 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 manage ment 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 distribu tion 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 work ing 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 con trols 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 tech nology provider can support the organization’s team during and after the installation. This helps the revenue manager become more knowledgeable and comforta ble 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 com plexity 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 pric ing 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 con trols. 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 sophis ticated 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.

Australia’s favourite burger brand is en route to Bali, with Managing Director and Founder of the Grill’d Group Simon Crowe announcing the company will welcome its first international restaurant, Grill’d Bali, to Seminyak Square in late December, 2019.

Bali was the logical first international location for the brand for a handful of reasons; its proximity to Australia, the burgeoning population of expats, and rising num bers of Australian tourists who visit the holiday island all year round. On top, there’s also the availability of highquality, fresh produce.

“Bali is the perfect destination to expand the Grill’d brand internationally,” explains Crowe. “It has a great service culture, a strong, well-trained hospitality workforce, and hard-working farmers who are growing some seriously good produce.”

Sitting on busy Jalan Kayu Jati, on the former site of the Grocer & Grind café, the iconic building has been lovingly restored by a team of prominent local builders renowned for their work on fellow Bali dining institu tions Mexicola, Tropicola, Da Maria, and Uni, to name a few. Casual but refined is the mantra for the new space, which has been designed as a sanctuary for customers wanting to enjoy a meal in air-conditioned surrounds, while watching Seminyak’s crowds pass by. The existing building’s impressive structure and high roofline have remained, while the interiors have been transformed courtesy of an impressive open kitchen, where custom ers can see the burgers being made. The space now also houses custom-designed bar, bespoke lighting and furniture, with seating for 150 inside and out. While the menu will be familiar to loyal Grill’d fans, there will be some new additions exclusive to the Bali restaurant.

Grill’d Chef & Menu Innovation Manager Josh Powell (ex-Vue de Monde, Circa and The Fat Duck) has tailored the menu to suit the island’s relaxed lifestyle and holi day makers who want to take their time grazing on a selection of dishes over a cocktail or three.

It will feature all classic Grill’d homemade burgers including the new Beyond Meat range, famous chips and healthy salads, as well as an exclusive selection of shared sides such as crispy onion rings, crunchy corn fritters, cheesy chips, tasty chicken bites and charred broccoli with homemade yoghurt sauce.

Dishes will be created using only the best of Bali pro duce. Grill’d has already formed relationships with the best local producers on the island, with only the best beef, chicken, eggs, and vegetables to be on the menu, partnered with bread baked fresh every day.

An extensive cocktail list will accompany the menu, designed by Bali’s best bartender, Gogon (ex-Bikini). Classics include Relish the Day (Bloody Mary), Monkey Colada (Pina Colada), Whisky Whistle (Whisky Sour), That Bali Mojo (Mojito) and Vesper Vibes (Espresso Martini) while the ‘Fancy Pants’ menu features crea tions like Butterfly Kisses (Butterfly pea gin, soda and turmeric cordial), Pink Knight (vodka, dragonfruit, cran berry, galangal syrup and twist of lime), Pine Star (white rum, pineapple jam, starfruit, cinnamon syrup and a hint of citrus), Passionate Tango (vodka Chambord, passion fruit, mango, ginger beer and lime) and She’ll Be Apples (vodka, fresh apple juice, rosemary and spice).

The soft drink collection is also unique to Grill’d Bali and will present a range of housemade sodas, iced teas, local Kombucha root beers, freshly squeezed juices and milkshakes. In a nod to its new island home, the eatery will crack open whole young coconuts for customers to enjoy with their burgers and sides. Even the playlist will maintain the tropical theme, mixed by Bali’s music magi cian Gus Till, the specially selected tunes promise to put customers in a holiday mood. For those with a sweet tooth, there will be a build-your-own ice cream bar, where vanilla or chocolate ice-cream is covered in milk or dark chocolate then sprinkled with seasonal local toppings like roasted coconut, dried berries and nuts.

orchester Collection’s Beverly Hills Hotel

unveils two bungalows inspired by legendary guests Marilyn Monroe and Howard Hughes as part of ongoing bungalow restoration

Beverly Hills, CA – Steeped in history as the preferred accommodations for generations of Hollywood royalty, the historic bungalows at The Beverly Hills Hotel are undergoing a comprehensive restoration and thoughtful redesign led by internationally renowned Champalimaud Design. In total, 21 bungalows will have been redesigned as part of the restoration program, with many completed over the past two years.

Out of the 21 bungalows being restored there are five distinct legendary bungalows featuring design elements inspired by select notable guests who have frequented the hotel over the past century. Bungalow 5, inspired by Elizabeth Taylor; and Bungalow 22, inspired by Frank Sinatra, were unveiled in the summer of 2016. Bungalow 1, inspired by Marilyn Monroe and Bungalow 3 inspired by Howard Hughes were unveiled in January 2019; and Bungalow 9, inspired by Charlie Chaplin will debut in July 2019.

Bungalow 1’s thoughtful new design incorporates aspects of Marilyn Monroe’s life and includes whimsical elements reflective of her most celebrated movie roles. Glamorous and youthful best describe the aesthetic of this bungalow that was a personal favorite of Marilyn Monroe and reflects the southern California lifestyle that she so enjoyed and loved. With curvy furniture, bright and abstract floor coverings, colorful travertine stones, and gold-leafed ceilings, this feminine space is both playful and sophisticated. Strong Jean Michel Frank influ ences pay homage to her use of his designs in her own home, including extensive use of parchment to envelop aspects of each room.

Guests staying in Bungalow 1A will appreciate the fol lowing Marilyn Monroe-themed services and amenities:

• Library featuring classic Marilyn Monroe films and books, including “Norman Mailer Marilyn Monroe Bert Stern and Andre de Dieme,” Some like it Hot, and Gentleman Prefer Blondes.

• Marilyn Monroe Champagne Bath Bubble Experience featuring a Some Like it Hot bubble bath (Ceara pure Atlantic sea salt from the coast of Brazil and Sweet Orange and Grapefruit Oils), bath pillow, wood back brush, bath mitt, and a bottle of Dom Perignon.

• Marilyn’s Menu (available via in-room dining), inspired by an interview that appeared in the 1952 issue of Pageant Magazine in which she revealed the following: ‘’My dinners at home are startlingly sim ple. Every night I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat and that is all.’’ She also admitted that she occasionally treated herself to an ice cream sundae. Items from Marilyn’s Menu include: Prawn Cocktail, Heirloom Carrot Salad, DiMaggio’s Spaghetti and Meatballs, Grilled New York Steak, and Marilyn’s Ice Cream Sundae.

Bungalow 3 pays homage to one of the hotel’s most famous residents, Howard Hughes, who lived in the bun galows on-and-off for 30 years. With stormy bold colors, dark stones, and rich exotic woods, this bungalow’s look and feel is as mysterious and moody as the reclusive billionaire himself. Art-deco references include geomet rics and rich sheens, conveying a masculine glamour through the use of glossy leathers, tailored shapes, and blue bedroom walls.

Guests staying in Bungalow 3A will appreciate the fol lowing Howard Hughes-themed amenities:

• Aviation Cocktail Kit featur ing Aviation Gin, Crème Yvette liqueur, Lemon Juice, Maraschino Liqueur

• Mini Roast Beef Sandwiches. Hughes used to request the hotel leave his roast beef sandwiches under a tree outside his bunga low almost every night.

• A collection of model airplanes located throughout the suite

First introduced in 1915 to accom modate families that wanted more space and privacy, the iconic bun galows remain an important part of the hotel’s character. They are known the world over for their history with Hollywood royalty and colorful anec dotes, which include Marilyn Monroe living on and off in Bungalow 1 and 7, Howard Hughes spending over 30 years in Bungalow 4 and Elizabeth Taylor and Marlene Dietrich calling them home for several years.

“We look forward to providing our guests with an enhanced experience that will lovingly highlight the bungalows’ unique features and legend ary history with Hollywood and the Beverly Hills community,” says Edward A. Mady, regional director, West Coast, USA and general manager. “Great care is being taken to maintain their beloved features, which include their residential style and privacy, while also allowing us to stay internation ally relevant with the next generation of luxury travelers,” he adds.

Designed exclusively to enhance the feeling of effortless and modern Californian style while maintaining the property’s existing residential feel, the bungalows include color palettes inspired by warm Southern California tones, such as rust, pinks, greens and

golds. Furniture styles include a mix of tailored 40’s French and Hollywood Regency, enhancing the bungalows welcoming layout and design. Key finishes include decorative wallpa pers, custom embroidered panels, hand-stenciled patterns, intricate floor inlays, and silk accent pillows. Stateof-the-art technological upgrades, such as light and temperature control panels and premier Bang Olufsen TVs, are also being made.

The proud legacy and grand tradition of The Beverly Hills Hotel served as the basis for my design,” says Alexandra Champalimaud. “This classi cally rich heritage was the perfect foundation upon which I layered a contemporary and current point of view.”

The entire bungalow restoration will be completed in July 2019. For further details, visit dorchestercollection.com or, for reservations, call 310-276-2251.

Indonesia International Furniture Expo (IFEX) 2020

Pursuing the Opportunity to Increase Indonesian Furniture Competitiveness and Export Value

Jakarta, 19 December 2019 – The furniture industry is still regarded as one of the main backbones for the Indonesian economy. The industry absorbs a huge amount of human resources and the number is increasing from time to time. The data from the Ministry of Industry shows an increase in furniture export value. Last year, Indonesian furniture export valued was recorded at US$1.69 billion. On average, the industry is experiencing a growth of 4 per cent per annum.

The Indonesian furniture industry is projected to remain growing considering the country has several advantages such as the high number of human resources and abun dant raw material supply. To date, Indonesian forest land reaches around 120 million hectares, of which 12 million hectares are categorized as production forests. Indonesia is also famous as the world’s largest rattan producer with 312 types of rattan that the industry can utilize.

To realize further growth, the country’s furniture industry needs continuous innovations in terms of the design, the technology, the marketing strategy, and the after-sales service to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction. Region-wise, Indonesian furniture export is still lagging behind Vietnam, which currently sits on 7th place. Globally, the furniture export market is dominated by China fol lowed by Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United States.

“Our furniture industry still has many home works that we need to solve before we can compete with Malaysia and Vietnam. We do have many advan tages to support the industry’s growth but we are still unable to maximize these advantages. The association is always optimistic that our furniture industry will continue to grow and increase its performance from time to time,” explains Chairman of the Indonesia Furniture Industry and Craft Association (HIMKI), Soenoto.

He further says that the industry’s current growth reaches 5-6 per cent per year meanwhile, Vietnam’s growth has reached 16 per cent per annum. Furniture industry stake holders, namely the industry players and the government, need to work together more intensely to pursue the 10 per cent deficit. Soenoto says the country’s industry players can also work with players from other countries, such as with China, to increase the competitiveness of Indonesian furniture products.

In line with the above efforts, the country’s Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) is reportedly offer ing investment opportunities in Indonesia to Guangdong and Shandong businessmen. Hundreds of businessmen from both provinces have stated their interest to invest in Indonesia, particularly in Central Java. Soenoto says Chinese investors can help increase Indonesian

furniture industry, especially in the finishing sector. “Partnering with Chinese businessmen is one of the ways to accelerate our furniture industry’s growth. However, we must keep our pivotal role in the industry from the upstream sectors. Partnership with these businessmen can unlock new opportunities to work with their international business network,” says Soenoto.

The Opportunity to Increase Export

As the organization that houses Indonesian furniture industry players, HIMKI regularly conducts events to pro mote the industry’s growth to the local and international public. One of HIMKI’s annual event is the Indonesia International Furniture Expo (IFEX) that has been successful in introducing and promoting Indonesian quality furniture to the global audience. In March 2020, HIMKI is scheduled to host this largest business-to-business (B2B) furniture exhibition in Indonesia and the region. All these years, IFEX has managed to provide the medium to grow the indus try. It attracts thousands of buyers and visitors and offers a golden opportunity to local industry players to exhibit their best products to these international audiences. Last year, IFEX managed to draw 12 thousand visitors and recorded an on-the-spot transaction of US$370 million.

HIMKI was officially declared on May 31 2016 in Jakarta and was later confirmed on July 28 2016 at the Ministry of Industry and on the same day was approved by President Joko Widodo at Istana Negara.

HIMKI was established based on similarity in the vision, mission, and purposes among its members to collec tively support the country’s furniture and craft industry. The organization is expected to become the institution that is aspirational and accommodating with the spirit of equality among its members.

About Dyandra Promosindo

“

IFEX has been recognized as the primary destina tion to global furniture industry players wanting to find quality products as well as business partners in Indonesia. These international buyers and visitors are key to the success of IFEX and the efforts to increase our export value to the global market,” says Soenoto.

Besides promoting the growth of Indonesian furniture industry, one of IFEX 2020 targets is to take advantage of the US market that is left by China due to the trade war between the two countries. In addition to Europe, the US is one of the major export destinations for Indonesian fur niture products. Soenoto says Indonesia is not the only country to target the US market. He, therefore, encourages the country’s industry players to find the right strategy to win the US market that was previously dominated by Chinese products.

About HIMKI

HIMKI is the result of the merger of two previous organi zations in furniture and craft industry namely AMKRI and ASMINDO. The merger was strongly supported by President Joko Widodo to create a single entity that is strong and huge that also serves as the government’s partner in sup porting the industry to encourage the competitiveness of furniture and craft products in the domestic and interna tional markets.

New FHA-HoReCa Hospitality 4.0 pavilion transforms concepts to reality

Singapore, 17 December 2019 - Euromonitor forecasts that global consumer foodservice is to grow by 24 per cent to US$3.7 trillion by 2023. The Asia Pacific markets are expected to make up half of that. Once a pipe dream for busi nesses in the region, digitalisation and automation are now impacting consumer experience in a big way, from enhancing business efficiency to completely changing the guest experience as we know it. New at FHA-HoReCa, held 3 to 6 March 2020 at Singapore Expo, the Hospitality 4.0 pavilion will be a platform for solution providers and start-ups to demonstrate innovative technologies, and visitors to learn best practices from subject experts.

A showcase of the future, the Hospitality 4.0 pavilion conceptualised by WY-TO is a human-centric, sustainable vision of how disruptive technologies, robotics, VR, and AI will be seamlessly integrated to enhance the personal experience.

Designed with organic shapes, smooth circulations, seethrough systems and natural materials, this highly crafted ensemble is perceived as a ‘Forest’. This feeling is strength ened by the start-up pods, envisioned as the ‘seeds of tomorrow’ growing along the visitor’s journey through the area. The vertical rhythm given by the wooden ele ments through the entire pavilion reminds the visitors of a fhahoreca.com walk in the woods, passing by a forest clearing as well as three singular shelters – highlighting top and trending innovations from across the globe for the hospitality sector.

The biophilic and futuristic design of the Hospitality 4.0 pavilion is inspired from nature and offers a whole range of diverse spaces and experiences:

• Start-up Village – a community of creators and innova tive businesses displaying new solutions such as 3D food printing, self-service equipment, waste management sys tems and more within the HoReCa sector.

• Showcase areas – product and service demonstrations such as service robots, AR menus to remote controlled kitchens within the Hotel, Kitchen and Restaurant segments.

• Dreamcatcher Theatre – industry thought leaders will share insights on topics ranging from design to new technologies, sustainability to market opportunities and trends. Confirmed speakers include senior repre sentatives from ASOLIDPLAN, Fairmont Singapore & Swissôtel The Stamford, Ovum, Sodexo, The Ritz-Carlton, TripAdvisor and WWF to name a few.

We look forward to seeing the shortlisted submissions being presented and shared at FHA-HoReCa,” said Ms. Margaret Heng, Executive Director, Singapore Hotel Association.

“Technology advancement has made it possible to fast track ideas that normally take decades to bear fruit. Noting the importance for industry professionals to have their fingers on the pulse of innovation, we implemented Hospitality 4.0 zone for the very purpose of demonstrat ing the ways advancements in technology can make a difference in the foodservice and hospitality value chain,” said Mr. Martyn Cox, Event Director, Hospitality, Food & Beverage, Informa Markets, organiser of FHA-HoReCa. fhahoreca.com

Egret/EDITION Villa/Floating Table)

SIEM REAP,Cambodia (Nov. 28, 2019) — Cambodia’s most storied hotel wrote yetanother chapter last week when it unveiled a new restaurant following a land mark refurbishment.

Named after the Grand Hotel d’ Angkor’s year of opening, “1932” launched on November 22 at an invite-only dinner for 50 guests who were treated to a parade of traditional Khmer specialties with a contemporary twist.

Located on the ground floor of the hotel’s Heritage Wing next to the Conservatory and behind the cel ebrated Elephant Bar, this elegant venue is the successor to the previ ous Restaurant Le Grand, which had stood since the hotel’s inception. 1932 inherits the honor of being one of only two establishments in the country that is permitted to serve Royal Khmer Cuisine, the other being its sister Raffles Hotel Le Royal in Phnom Penh.

These recipes were passed by royal decree to the hotels from the king’s own kitchen.

The Royal Khmer Menu brings together an array of textures and treats to whet the taste buds, such as mango and prawn salad, spicy and sour lobster consommé, grilled lamb chops in ginger sauce, red chicken curry in coconut, and for dessert, pumpkin custard.

Raffles Grand Hotel d’ Angkor’s Executive Chef is Angela Brown. Originally from Brisbane, Australia, she earned her chef stripes in a number of Sofitel kitchens around the world including London and Bangkok. Having lived in Siem Reap for nearly three years, Brown has a deep appreciation for local culinary techniques.

“Khmer cuisine is a combination of refined, simple, delicate flavors,” she said. “The dishes are much subtler than, say, Thai recipes. Khmer flavors pop out, but don’t knock you over.”

Chef Angela said she aims to craft traditional Khmer recipes with a modern approach.

“Not fusion, but dishes that can be adapted to a Western palate,” she added. One of her new signature dishes is the melt-in-your-mouth Beef Cheek, served with a local aro matic herb known as ma-om , and quail egg curry. Other highlights will include the Chateaubriand-style lok lak , a Wagyu beef striploin with grape puree.

A selection of intriguing condiments accompanies each meal, among them the chef’s own creation, duka , a grainy mix of cashew nut, sesame, coriander seed and salt. A local seed called chombok – similar to almond – pervades the rye bread, while lavoch is a Khmer herb and wheat chapati. Overseen by Ms Socheata, 1932’s wine expert, guests can look forward to wine pairings with every dish, including each of the five courses of a Royal Khmer meal.

Raffles, of course, achieved fame as the home of the Singapore Sling, and in keeping with the tradition, a Cambodian version, the Grand Hotel d’Angkor Sling, with a twist of galangal and gin ger, is offered as an aperitif.

“The refurbishment of the restaurant has brought it up to date with freshness and light, while retaining the sense of traveling back in time,” said Hotel Manager Vincent

Gernigon. “The new look of the restaurant per fectly complements the exciting menus being created by Chef Angela, which add a new dimension to Khmer cuisine.”

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor reopened on October 1, 2019, after a closure of six months for renovations. Designed in the late 1920s by architect Ernest Hébrard in French colonial style, the hotel’s interior combines Khmer art and furnishings with Art

Deco influences. Renowned for its wroughtiron and timber elevator, “The Grand” served as an early base for archaeologists, explorers and visitors to the rediscovered kingdom of Angkor. It was taken over in 1997 at the invitation of Cambodia’s HRH King Sihanouk by Fairmont Raffles Hotels International.

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor in Siem Reap and its sister Raffles Hotel Le Royal in Phnom are part of the Raffles Hotel group which launched in Singapore in 1887. Rooms at Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor start from $230 per night.

Under the MoU, ACTE, with its wide international repre sentation from over 100 countries, will play a leading role in promoting ITB Asia and its group of events to quality buyers and corporate travel managers. The MoU will also lay the groundwork for further cooperation between the two institutions to frame new initiatives and activities for the corporate buying segment. These will seek to enhance opportunities for buyers and delegates to learn and net work with industry leaders at ITB events as well as create meaningful dialogue through education, advocacy, and research for the global corporate travel community. Katrina Leung, Managing Director of Messe Berlin (Singapore), the organiser of ITB Asia, said, “We are excited to work in close partnership with ACTE Global to engage with more cor porate buyers and delegates at ITB Asia’s group of events.

In particular, we aim to provide industry delegates with valuable breadth and depth on industry knowledge, stimulating a higher level of discourse on the corporate travel sector.” Leigh Bochicchio, Executive Director of ACTE commented, “We are delighted to have concluded the agreement for ITB India 2020, and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to continue partnership with ITB Asia from 2020 to 2022. At ACTE, we continue to lead global education, advocacy and initiatives to support impactful changes in safety and security, privacy, duty of care and Corporate Travel compliance, along with traveller productivity that supports global commerce. The expanded partnership in India and extended cooperation between ITB Asia and ACTE will undoubtedly foster another unprecedented horizon in our vision for global education in the corpo rate travel and MICE sectors.”

The MoU builds on an existing successful partnership between ACTE Global and ITB Asia which saw the global association holding its exclusive Corporate Travel Day for the second year running at the 2019 show.

Cretan Malia Park Botanical bolthole

All-new Cretan Malia Park joins Design Hotels™

Berlin, November 19, 2019 – Far removed from the identikit beach hotels that dot Crete’s coastline, Cretan Malia Park is a flora-filled retreat that augments classic Aegean hos pitality with a focus on refined luxury and slow-paced living. Owned by the Sbokos family since it opened in the 1980s, the 204-room hotel has recently undergone an extensive renovation program led by Greek architect Vana Pernari, resulting in a unique aes thetic inspired by the colors and textures of the island.

Key to the hotel’s identity is its commitment to sus tainability — a crucial philosophy that informs all aspects of the design and operations. Factor in a fresh, Mediterranean kitchen inspired by Crete’s culinary tra ditions, an organic wellness program that allows guests to commune with the spectacular surroundings, and exquisitely landscaped botanical gardens leading to the sparkling Aegean Sea, and you have a whole new spin on carefree Cretan luxury.

www.designhotels.com/cretan-malia-park

Cretan Malia Park’s striking modernist structures were originally conceived in the late 1980s by Antonis Stylianides, who once worked under German Bauhaus legend Walter Gropius. Recently reanimated by Vana Pernari, the hotel’s exteriors have now been stripped back to reveal an exquisitely simple canvas that both references the island’s architectural heritage and allows for the resort’s verdant gardens to take centerstage.

Tonal, rough-hewn walls are framed by local swaying palms, banana trees, and Indian figs, and oversized win dows further delineate indoor and outdoor areas. The intrinsic relationship with the surroundings extends to the resort’s interiors, which are defined by the use of natural materials such as walnut, chestnut, and bam boo. The ever-changing colors of the Mediterranean landscape are reflected in the use of rattan, stone, brass and ceramics, which combine to impart a warm, relaxed mood in the light-filled public spaces and guestrooms. The stylistic legacy of Crete, both past and present, is explored through a stunning blend of modern art, family heirlooms, and custom pieces crafted by local artisans.

Florainspired artworks by the prominent urban Greek artists Thanassis and Dimitris Kretsis infuse living spaces with nature, while the lobby is home to a painting by Philippos

Theodorides and a unique Reywal lighting installation by Joy Stathopoulou. Thoughtful details such as the hand-made herringbone cement tiles and the locallysourced ceramic pots that pepper the grounds honor the island’s artisanal roots. Beyond the contemporary Cretan design concept, the hotel plays host to a roll call of high-end design names —including GUBI, House of Hackney, Børge Mogensen, 101 Copenhagen and LRNCE—resulting in a wholly unique series of looks that ranges from mid-century modern to laidback boho.

Scattered across a series of low rise structures, the hotel’s rooms and suites are all located on the ground or first floor, ensuring proximity to the hotel’s outdoor spaces are always within reach; be it via a balcony or garden terrace. Each guestroom category is defined by its own set of decorative markers. Double guestrooms are characterized by herringbone flooring and geo metrically styled jade-hued wall tiles, while the light and airy bungalows are punctuated with shots of blue

or terracotta, applied by way of graphic wall tiling and textiles. In the suites, sideboards, wardrobes and folding doors accented with rattan screens introduce a rustic fringe to otherwise contemporary spaces.

The bathrooms are united by a restrained tonal palette, which sees spherical black and white pendant light ing interweaved with grey terrazzo, local white marble and minimal black fixtures in suites, and beige stone in rooms and bungalows. Olive oil-based amenities come courtesy of Greek brand Olive Era, and the mini bars stock an extensive range of complimentary snacks and beverages sourced from Crete or mainland Greece.

Served by the hotel’s impressive organic kitchen garden and inspired by Crete’s rich culinary heritage, the food and beverage offering at Cretan Malia Park is defined by diversity and sustainability. Located on the ground floor of the main building and extending out onto a stunning terrace shaded by a white wooden pergola, Mediterraneo is a fresh, airy all-day restaurant focused on Mediterranean dishes and regional specialties. Offering an insight into traditional Greek gastronomy, Mouries’ menu of simple, time-honored recipes is a celebration of the island’s natural bounty, putting the spotlight on locally caught seafood, freshly pressed olive oil and foraged wild herbs.

Also seeking inspiration from the Mediterranean, the concept of Almyra — spearheaded by Athinagoras Kostakos — is influenced by Italian cuisine, centering on a traditional wood-fire oven and a carefullycurated wine list. A stylish, laidback hangout spot, the hotel’s newlyopened Beach Shack is a cool, calm beachside bar that serves Greek tapas crafted by Kostakos throughout the day and sundowners as the night draws in, soundtracked by soothing reggae beats. The Crush, the Pool Bar, and the Lobby Bar round off the hotel’s impressive range of restaurants and bars.

Fully supporting Cretan Malia Park’s dedication to spir itual and physical wellbeing is a series of spaces devoted to wellness. A daily-changing program of physical activi ties take place both on-site and on the beach, and are open to all guests. A yoga pavilion plays host to morn ing classes and meditation sessions and is a restful place to recalibrate body and soul, while The Cute Spa offers an intimate retreat set amid the cacti and banana trees of the hotel’s tranquil gardens.

For younger guests, the two pools, wading pool, and a kids’ club featuring a performance area, test kitchen and garden are sure to provide ample entertainment. A separate youth club, The Place, has been exclusively designed for teenagers with a bar area and cinema screen.

Located away from the main building in a unique outdoor setting, the hotel’s Cat Café offers a sanctuary for some of the island’s stray feline population. A beacon for animal lovers and children alike, guests are welcome to feed and pet the neutered cats in isolation at any time of the day.

Cretan Malia Park’s commitment to conserving the environment has been woven into the hotel’s DNA since its establishment, and an ambitious sustainability program takes this ethos to a whole new level. Onsite, a policy of sustainable agriculture minimizes water waste and promotes soil health, while employees are offered education sessions to enable them to continue this practice at their own domestic farmsteads. The property is working towards a hotel-wide ban on single-use plastic, and recycling facilities are dotted throughout the hotel grounds.

Location

The largest of the Greek islands, Crete’s cultural identity is guided by a richly woven tapestry of ancient mythology and history. For those looking to explore the past, the mazelike narrow lanes of old town Malia offer a glimpse into a bygone age, while the 3,500 year old archeological site of Malia Minoan Palace is located just 2km from the hotel. A little further afield, the scenic 40 minute drive to the famed Palace of Knossos takes in verdant vineyards, dramatic gorges and long, sandy beaches. Heraklion Airport is 33km away | 30 minutes by car.

Anurak Lodge in Thailand Earns Travelife Gold Certification

18 accommodations in Thailand have attained Travelife’s rigorous environmental certification standards

Going Green then Gold: Anurak Community Lodge measures up when it comes to sustainable tourism Anurak Community Lodge in south ern Thailand has become the first accommodation in the Khao Sok national park area to be Travelife certified.

The 20-unit ecolodge, which opened in 2016, received its certification 15 November after complying with Travelife’s rigorous Gold Certificate criteria.

These include minimising envi ronmental impact, recording and reducing energy consumption, respecting labour and human rights, maintaining health and safety standards, encouraging community integration, working with appropri ate suppliers, and inspiring guest participation in onsite sustainability initiatives.

All the measurements are recorded in publicly available sustainability reports by Anurak Lodge to ensure ongoing Travelife compliance.

Travelife started in 2007. It now helps 1,500 hotel members around the world - mostly in Europe - to improve their environmental, social and economic impacts. Members that meet a specified standard receive Travelife Gold Certification.

“We support a thorough, interna tional standard certification for hotels in Asia, so we chose Travelife, for its rigorous standards,” said George Newling-Ward, the Anurak Community Lodge manager.

Since opening, Anurak has been guided by the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling. Key aspects of its sustainability commitment include banning of single-use plas tic and styrofoam and the creation of a recycling station and com posting zone. Grey water from the laundry is filtered and used on the ecolodge’s “Rainforest Rising” pro ject, which, over the long-term, will return 3,300 square metres of oil palm plantation to native vegeta tion cover.

With the exacting nature of Travelife Gold Certification, hundreds of cri teria have to be achieved.

“We are delighted that Anurak Community Lodge has achieved Travelife Gold Certification,” said

Carolyn Wincer, Travelife’s Commercial Director. “Anurak Community Lodge is joining a prestigious collection of over 900 properties around the world that have used Travelife to indepen dently verify their commitment to operating responsibly.”

Travelife certification comes after Anurak won the 2019 SKAL Asian Area Award in the environmen tal category in June. In August, the ecolodge was listed among 36 of the world’s leading green lodges and hotels in the National Geographic Traveller (UK) invitationonly Earth Collection. In September, Anurak won the global 2019 SKAL Sustainable Tourism Award in the rural accommodation category.

A BETTER STANDARD: SETTING REVENUE MANAGEMENT SOPS IN INDONESIAN HOTELS

Written by - Rachel Grier, Area Vice President, Asia Pacific for IDeaS

Many Indonesian hotels practice check-in standard operating pro cedures (SOPs) to support positive guest experiences and review scores. However, while SOPs are often used in front-of-house environments, they are still not commonly deployed in an area critical to a property’s financial performance: the revenue manage ment department.

There is a distinct need for inde pendent hoteliers across the region to establish and deploy SOPs for their revenue management

departments to enhance overall staff and property performance. Revenue management SOPs can help key personnel maximise rev enue opportunities for a hotel and assist new staff to better understand the hotel’s positioning, market segmentation, pricing structure, inventory and forecasts. But what SOPs are critical to a revenue man ager today?

Market Analysis:

Market analysis SOPs are vital in helping hotels assess their own performance within their local operating environment. Collecting market intelligence to understand the market positioning of a property

is one of the first steps in the prac tice of revenue management. The data gathered from market analysis

SOPs help define a hotel’s bench mark rate within its wider pricing environment and inform its market ing strategies.

To create effective market analysis SOPs, hoteliers need to research or update their competitor informa tion—including a review of their competitor set. A market analysis should also include a report on the local market conditions (supply and demand, GDP growth, inflations, key industry news) to assist with ongoing budgeting processes.

HOTELIERS SHOULD ALSO DEVELOP A SWOT ANALYSIS FOR THEIR PROPERTY AND LOCAL COMPETITORS TO HELP DEFINE THEIR MARKET POSITIONING.

Forecasting:

Accurate forecasts can be instrumental for planning inventory and staffing levels. If an Indonesian hotel can anticipate demand, it can have the right levels of staff working at the right times, even down to forecasting peak check-in and check-out times.

For hoteliers without a sophisticated revenue manage ment system (RMS) in place, forecasting SOPs are critical to ongoing operations. To establish forecasting SOPs, a hotel should collect and compare the current and previ ous years’ market segment data, room-type preference data and booking pace.

Other logistical considerations include the level of fore cast detail (is it by day, by market segments, or by room type?), how far into the future to forecast and how often to review the forecast. For hotels that have deployed an advanced RMS, forecasting is a straightforward matter and SOPs mainly need to focus on how to validate the forecast generated by the system to ensure that opti mal best available rate (BAR) is selected.

Pricing:

Pricing SOPs are critical to any hotel’s ability to operate successfully. These com monly include guidelines and rationales around how to develop pricing structures by market segments, which ensures all revenue opportu nities are maximised. Pricing SOPs can influence BAR, packages, corporate rates, wholesale rates, group rates and daily BAR rate review and changes. For hoteliers using an RMS, BAR recommendations will be provided daily for the next 365 days, and the rates are automati cally uploaded to various distribution channels. This means the revenue manager’s role and corresponding SOPs are focused on reviewing and validating BAR rec ommendations made by the system.

Revenue Management Meetings:

Revenue management is the combination of people, processes and technology, and today’s revenue managers are key collaborators that link marketing, sales, reservations and e-commerce divisions within a property. Although many hoteliers understand the importance of hav ing a formalised revenue management process and culture in place within their organisations, many others in different departments do not. To drive profitability across the entire organisation, revenue managers must work closely with all executives to build and instil a strong culture of revenue management.

Regularly staged revenue meetings are a good platform to align the objectives and strate gies among key department heads in the hotel. Revenue meeting SOPs should outline the extended revenue management team, attendees of revenue meetings, decision makers and team leader (normally a revenue manager or sales leader), along with topics to be reviewed and reports to be used to benchmark results.

SOPs Support Revenue Generating Activities

FOR HOTELIERS WITHOUT A SOPHISTICATED REVENUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RMS) IN PLACE, FORECASTING SOPS ARE CRITICAL TO ONGOING OPERATIONS

SOPs for common revenue management tasks such as market segmentation, forecasting, pric ing and market analysis are critically important to Indonesian hoteliers today. SOPs support the ongoing function of revenue managers, enabling them to concentrate on tar geting the right guest at the right time for the right price—and maximising revenue opportunities for their hotel.
