Absolut

Be part of the bigger picture with Absolut world Food & Drink On a mission to bring people together, Absolut is calling on you to share the experiences and places you love with the world in a movement inspired by global citizenship. Creating an online exchange of local insider travel tips, a “global selfie� is your key to unlocking a world of new and unexpected experiences. To mark the launch of Absolut World, a new, collectable limited edition bottle of Absolut Vodka, the initiative aims to bring people together by defying the distances between us and carving out new connections across international borders.

Absolut

Absolut tasked renowned Swedish Illustrator Kari Modén with creating an uplifting and expressive design for the new limited edition bottle that celebrates a world that is open.

Selected for her characteristically decorative and bright style, Kari’s artwork expresses love, peace and togetherness. Designed especially for those with a passion for travel, the hypercolourful and joyous bottle is exclusive to duty free stores.

“It was a dream come true for Absolut to ask me to create this design. As a Swede, I was honoured to work with one of our most famous and celebrated vodka brands, and as an artist, I was happy that the task at hand was to celebrate what unifies humanity as one. I love that the bottle is only available when travelling too, as it makes it a unique keepsake or great conversation-starter when given as a gift,” Kari Modén says.

the World Of Hospitality 17

18 the World Of Hospitality

Using playful and evocative symbols, the bottle design signifies the joining of people, drawn together by the values and experiences we share. The most standout image is a hand making a peace sign – a badge of peace and friendship that harps back to the psychedelic 70’s. Intertwined is a rounded ampersand which stands for inclusivity and connection.

The heart represents universal love, and the eye is a signal of our aim to see and recognise the best in each other. Finally, the traditional L.O. Smith medallion at the top of the bottle has been replaced by a colourful world map. The avant-garde and bold design has been created through a retro clip art technique using strokes of neon pink, green and yellow contrasted against matte gold.

Embodying global unity, the bottle epitomises the iconic vodka brand’s efforts to stimulate conversations and connections between

Absolut

people regardless of background, gender or sexual preference.

Shining a spotlight on different cultures, Absolut is encouraging people from all corners of the globe to exchange tips about the places they love in their home cities. To get involved, visitors to Absolut.com/globalselfie are first invited to take a picture of themselves. Once uploaded, the selfie will become a mosaic of hundreds of faces of other people taking part in the movement that will then unlock local hotspots in international destinations. Simply zoom into your face to reveal the details of the people that make up your image; from their location and name, to the places they recommend eating, drinking and getting together with friends – ensuring you can travel like a local wherever you go.

Absolut World is a special bottle of Absolut Original Vodka, the same high quality vodka made exclusively from natural ingredients that can be enjoyed neat to discover a rich, full-bodied and complex flavour, paired with a mellow character of grain and hint of dried fruit.

Absolut Original Vodka is best served neat or in classic cocktails such as Absolut Vodka Soda, Moscow Mule or Espresso Martini.

Absolut World is now available to buy in major airports and share with family or friends on your next travels. Join the global selfie and be part of something big at Absolut.com/ globalselfie.

Customizing a New Era in Safe Security and Design Electronic safe technology in the hospitality industry has continued to evolve in recent years to address the growing needs of both hoteliers and their guests. While centered on the priority of securing guest valuables, electronic safe designs increasingly must take the factors of convenience and physical appearance into account. With guests demanding added personalization and more unique experiences from their hotel stay, guestroom amenities are likewise adapting in order to enhance the hoteliers’ ability to meet these growing expectations.

With electronic safes being no exception, today’s hoteliers are now benefitting from an increasing array of options that go beyond the typical black, grey or white designs of previous solutions. Instead, properties now have the ability to customize their safes using a color of their own choosing. Such expanded choice

not only allows hoteliers to select shades that conform to their brand, but also offers the potential to cost-effectively greet guests with vivid and enticing environments that are truly memorable. They also draw attention to the safe, to encourage its use.

No longer rooted in a ‘one size fits all’ approach, the actual physical design of electronic safes is yet another area where hoteliers can leverage enhanced choice to address diverse and specific needs. With ASSA ABLOY Hospitality’s line of Elsafe Zenith safes for instance, properties with certain spacing issues can finally look beyond the guestroom closet or table tops, with separate designs that can accommodate placement in drawers, guestroom walls and even floors. In keeping with the need to enhance convenience, solutions are available in different sizes and can be equipped with internal lights to help guests locate belongings,

Website: www.assaabloyhospitality.com

as well as internal outlets for charging electronics while secured in the safe.

Such physical enhancements have simultaneously taken place alongside significant strides in improving safe security. Faced with increasing threats, hoteliers now have the ability to implement designs that leverage advanced anti-tamper labyrinths and other security features to drastically minimize vulnerabilities. With Elsafe safes, properties can also benefit from such features as triangular bolt enforcement and extensive audit trails, ensuring guests with full peace of mind while safeguarding hotels against liability. In offering such enhanced technology coupled with the latest in design functionality and customization, ASSA ABLOY Hospitality’s Elsafe safes are a testament to the fact that improving guest security need not come at the cost of a property’s unique and attractive décor.

AssA Abloy Hospitality

Elsafe Colored Safes

your guests come in all shapes, sizes, colors and styles. Why not offer a safe that is just as colorful as they are, but still provides the most advanced security and convenience? Now you can, with Elsafe’s new customizable colors! AssA Abloy Hospitality now offers design-conscious hoteliers like yourself the option to customize your in-room safes with a variety of available colors.

Typical black, grey, white or ivory safes don’t always fit with your design aesthetic, and tend to blend into their surroundings. We believe that color can be a memorable aspect of the guest experience. Choosing a shade that aligns with your brand or room décor can cost-effectively differentiate your property, while protecting guests’ valuable possessions and protecting you from liability.

So, create an impression on your guests long after they have completed their stay with you. Contact your local ASSA ABLOY Hospitality representative today for more information!

Being Agile and Courageous will keep you alive in today’s market When the headlines are so negative it breeds despair, despondency and doubt! The market trends on the high street from retail and casual dining are being targeted but now is the time to be agile, courageous and think outside the box. One quote from Austin Cook, Retail Director of a multimillion pound establishment was ‘Boring retail isn’t dead’ this would go for restaurants too… ‘Boring restaurants are not dead.’

What we are seeing at the moment is a flurry of emerging brands from Coffee shops, healthy food offerings to Asian and Indian cuisine. Where some brands are dying it is making space for new innovation and culture shifts for the new generational requirements. The only dying brands are ones that are not keeping up!

Restructure is another buzz word that is being used, this is where forward thinking brands are looking at their portfolio, acting with courage and re-aligning the investments to strengthen the profitable sites with re-branding and transformations. The transformation part is key to bringing in the footfall.

Working lately with ‘All Star Lanes’ has shown the importance of creating an experience. Consumers are looking for fun, interest and a bit more…

Innovation here is key and we see the revival of the darts club, the pool tables, indoor crazy golf with a twist and ping pong!

To recap on this there is room for new, boring is out and brands need to keep the energy up because the market is alive!

Dan Gillmore, Global Marketing Director says, “At UHS we are working with a number of brands restructuring, transforming and re-branding successfully. We have a fantastic team that can come on that journey with you so if you have a project that you feel the need to discuss and see how we can support please get in touch.” info@uhs-group.com Call: 0330 1222 400 Website: www.uhs-group.com

Northern Powerhouse Developments

Northern Powerhouse Developments completes the exchange of contracts on historic Yorkshire hotel Hotel Hotel and leisure developers Northern Powerhouse Developments adds the iconic and beautiful Monk Fryston Hall to its estate as the company realises yet another key addition for its acquisition plan for 2018.

The Yorkshire-based group can today announce it exchanged contracts on the Grade II listed property in between Leeds and York. Once completed, the purchase will take the number of UK hotels owned by NPD to 14 and with plans for a multi-million-pound

renovation, the historic hall will be another impressive addition to its flagship Manor Collection.

Speaking about the company’s plans, NPD Chairman Gavin Woodhouse said: “Monk Fryston Hall is a beautiful property in the heart of Yorkshire and we are really delighted that we have been able to move forward with the purchase.

“This has been an incredible year already for

NPD. Our model has always been to search out properties of architectural heritage and real beauty and Monk Fryston Hall has that in abundance.

“Our Manor Collection contains our most prestigious hotels. It already includes the likes of Caer Rhun Hall in Snowdonia, only two weeks ago we concluded the purchase of Bourton Hall in Rugby. We are really looking forward to being able to breathe new life into Monk Fryston Hall.”

Northern Powerhouse Developments

Dating back to the 12th century, Monk Fryston Hall, which is surrounded by 30 acres of parkland, woodland trails and gardens, was originally home to the Benedictine monks from nearby Selby Abbey. It later boasted its own private zoo and NPD, which has its headquarters in Halifax, is looking forward to adding a new chapter to the building’s already long and impressive history.

The hotel will remain open throughout the planned rolling programme of renovations, which include upgrading the 30 bedrooms and existing terrace restaurant and building a new luxury spa complex. Already a popular choice for weddings, under NPD’s proposals the hotel’s two large function rooms will also be sympathetically refurbished.

The successful purchase of Monk Fryston Hall represents a major coup for NPD and further boosts its Yorkshire based portfolio, which also includes the Imperial Crown Hotel in Halifax, the Old Golf House Hotel in Huddersfield and Scarborough’s Esplanade Hotel and we hear they are soon to announce another.

In addition, the company also has properties in North and South Wales, Warwickshire, Gilsland and Devon.

SWA member supplies screens and doors for hotel winter garden

Noble Russell produces stunning

The phased refurbishment of both private rooms and the elegant public spaces of a Manchester hotel has been successfully completed with a member of the Steel Window Association, The Cotswold Casements Company, playing a pivotal role in the supply and installation of screens and doors.

Located near the centre of the city, The Palace Hotel has now been renamed The Principal Manchester following a £20m refurbishment and redevelopment with Michaelis Boyd Associates the architectural practice responsible for leading the design work.

The Senior Architect on the project for Michaelis Boyd, Luke Rowett, commented: “The doors in the majority of the bedrooms, which Cotswold Casements has supplied, were chosen primarily to allow more play of light between the two spaces. The glazed steel framed doors are more permeable and interesting than a solid door while the obscure glazing still provides privacy.”

HBA Dubai composes a boulevard of delights at Kempinski Muscat

Getting it right with your Electronic Point of Sale (EPoS)

Located within the opulent and ethereal Kempinski Muscat is The Kitchen, an allday-dining restaurant designed by HBA Dubai. Offering a wide-range of dining options not bound to the culinary world, the contemporary restaurant’s design is derived from the core roots set in Oman, a faceted interpretation of the regional landscapes, textures and palette.

Throughout the restaurant and café a mix of seating styles are found for the diner to choose from: stools, dining chairs and banquette seating feature rich textures and tones rather than contrast, adding a complimentary visual layer to the concept of exploration and discovery. An earthy blend of Omani hues, delineated marble floors and walls, honed and polished textures juxtaposed with a strong presence of deep warm metals all create a strong sense experience unlike any other.

WEBSITE: www.hba.com

With technology changing the face of retailing every day, it can be challenging for newcomers to understand what they are really looking for in a point of sale (PoS) system, both in terms of the till, but also the back-office management system.

EPoS technology and software helps hospitality providers to offer better services to their customers. The point of sale should be intuitive to use and easy to understand. It should drive faster throughput of customers especially in busy times - by ensuring speedier and simpler transactions. Ultimately, getting it right when it comes to EPoS means increasing profitability.

EPoS has fast become an essential business aid, as hospitality providers strive to do better business. Failure to invest time and money into an effective EPoS could cost you dearly.
