Banyan Tree Samui Scoops 3 Major Awards in 1 Week
There was a celebratory mood recently at Banyan Tree Samui, a luxury beachfront resort in southern Thailand, after the hotel was recognised with three independent international awards in the space of one week. Photo credits: Banyan Tree Samui The French-based MICHELIN Guide, famed for its accreditation of “stars” to the most exquisite restaurants, has for the first time introduced a ranking system of “keys” to acclaim the most outstanding hotels in the world. The 2024 MICHELIN Guide hotel selection in Thailand included a total of eight Three-Key hotels (its highest decoration), 19 Two-Key hotels, and 31 One Key hotels. Each hotel had been anonymously visited and assessed by MICHELIN inspectors. Banyan Tree Samui, and its sister resort Banyan Tree Krabi on Thailand’s western Andaman Sea coast, were both recognised by the new MICHELIN Guide with two “keys”. “These [all MICHELIN’s recommended hotels and resorts] are places that significantly add to your experience as a traveller” read the MICHELIN Guide announcement on September 24, “each vetted and judged excellent in five categories: architecture and interior design; quality and consistency of service; overall personality and character; value for the price; and a significant contribution to the guest experience in a particular setting.” No sooner had the champagne settled when, on October 1, the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2024 were announced. New York-based Condé Nast Traveler is arguably the leading luxury travel magazine in the world and the announcement of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards is an eagerly anticipated event in the calendar of the global hospitality community. Photo credits: Banyan Tree Samui Online voting for the world’s favourite hotels, resorts and spas ran from April through June this year, with more than 575,000 votes cast. In the category of Top Resorts in Thailand, Banyan Tree Samui polled third with a 95.16 score. The placement marked a jump up the rankings for Banyan Tree Samui, which finished 5th in 2023, while Banyan Tree Krabi had come in 4th in the Top Resorts in Thailand awards. In between those announcements, Area General Area General Manager Remko Kroesen was on hand in Bangkok to receive an accolade on 26 September 2024 when he was presented with the “Best Luxury Hotel - Koh Samui” prize at the 33rd Annual TTG Travel Awards 2024 Ceremony & Gala Dinner The prestigious TTG Travel Awards honours the best in the Southeast Asian hospitality industry, with readers’ votes including many of the region’s travel agents and tour operators. Opened in 2010, the 88-key Banyan Tree Samui is a luxury all-pool villa resort. The 38-acre property is rich in flora and plant life, and its private beach is flanked by coral reefs. The resort hosts three restaurants, a spa with Banyan Tree’s signature Rainforest hydrotherapy facility, a fitness centre, a kids’ club, a meetings and events centre, and a library. Last year, Banyan Tree Samui was awarded the highest level of certification by EarthCheck, the world’s leading scientific benchmarking organisation for sustainable tourism, making it the first hotel in Thailand to achieve this status. Villas at Banyan Tree Samui, each with a private infinity pool, start from US$585 per night.

The Anam Cam Ranh Unveils Suite of Romance Experiences
The Anam Cam Ranh doesn’t necessarily expect to be the same setting for any couple’s proposal, wedding, honeymoon and renewal of vows, but a host of remarkable new packages invites such a possibility. Photo credits: The Anam Cam Ranh The experiences leverage a storybook setting on Vietnam’s Cam Ranh peninsula, replete with uninterrupted views of toast-brown sands, turquoise waters, dramatic headlines and islands offshore that come together as one of Vietnam’s most picture-perfect seaside enclaves. Since its 2017 grand opening, the 12-hectare resort has celebrated countless proposals, weddings and honeymoons. The Anam Cam Ranh’s proposal experience is anchored by a private candle-lit dining set-up on the resort’s beach, by one of its three unusually compelling swimming pools or in the privacy of a private-pool villa. A four-course menu is cooked by a private chef and served by a private waiter, with two Asian menus and two Western menus to choose from. The ‘Romantic Dinner’ menus feature the likes of entrees ‘Banana flower salad with Bay scallops, oyster Florentina’ and ‘Field mushroom cappuccino with pancetta wrapped scallops and garlic crostini’ and mains ‘Steamed fresh grouper with shitake mushroom sauce and spring onion’ and ‘West Coast pink roasted rack of lamb with Mediterranean vegetable timbale garlic candies’. Weddings range from an intimate ceremony for two on the beachfront or vast lawn to a larger formal dining arrangement for up to 500 family and friends. Sweeteners for the bride and groom include a live guitarist and violinist during the ceremony, all sorts of exquisite flower arrangements, and a three-tier wedding cake. “Our resort’s meticulous wedding planner sees to every last detail for the occasion of a lifetime, saving the bride and groom the often immense stress of orchestrating a wedding themselves,” said The Anam Group’s commercial director Martin Koerner. Photo credits: The Anam Cam Ranh “There is also scope for wedding ceremonies and receptions to be staged at the adjacent beachfront Axi Plaza, a multifunctional convention centre with a design inspired by Vietnam’s ubiquitous coracle boat. A state-of-the-art conference hall, a 360-degree rooftop venue, and a stunning outdoor beachfront event space are among Axi Plaza’s highlights.” With a design inspired by Vietnam’s Indochine era, the 180-square-metre ‘Honeymoon Villas’ are both set on 400 square metres of lush hillside land located adjacent to the grounds of the resort’s tranquil 10-treatment room spa. The picture-perfect one-bedroom villas each feature a separate living room, jacuzzi, steam and sauna room and private terrace with sun loungers overlooking a glassy-surfaced 40-square-metre private pool. The villas’ romantic appeal draws on the Indochine period with the likes of imperial style roofs, big-bellied water vases, lanterns, and customized mosaic tiles. A private BBQ in the villa, a romantic ritual at The Anam Spa including a body scrub, Sothys Paris facial and moisturizing milk bath, and movies on the beach are among the honeymoon experiences on offer. The Honeymoon Villas come with complimentary daily afternoon tea, served either in the privacy of the villa, at The Colonial fine dining restaurant that features a quaint courtyard or a scenic spot such as amid the resort’s verdant gardens or on Long Beach. Like the wedding packages, the renewal of vows packages also feature a night’s stay in a Premium Room or Garden View Villa, with free upgrades depending on availability. A myriad of lush settings across the resort, including reflecting ponds, manicured lawns, and cobblestone pathways framed by established greenery, make for striking pre-wedding and wedding photo backdrops. For further information or to make a booking, visit.theanam.com, email The Anam Cam Ranh’s event team at mice@theanam.com or call +(84) 258 393 9496.

Bring Home A Unique Holiday Souvenir – Your Own Artwork
Boutique resort, the Great House Antigua, is offering holidaymakers the opportunity to create a unique work of art under the guidance of a local artist on its Painting Retreat running from 16-23 November. Photo credits: the Great House Antigua A local artist will lead 3 guided painting sessions providing the ideal opportunity to learn to paint or improve artistic skills. Additionally, trips to picturesque English Harbour and the capital St John's could provide more artistic inspiration. Alternatively, local landmarks such as Betty's Hope – a former sugar plantation with a fully restored sugar mill – might be the perfect subject for an artwork. When not involved in guided painting sessions, participants are free to create their own artworks perhaps using the tropical gardens, the stunning sea views or the historic Great House itself as inspiration. The Great House Antigua will provide basic art materials, but holidaymakers are welcome to bring their own favourite paints or brushes. With just 8 bedrooms, the Great House Antigua is an intimate resort set in 26 acres of peaceful grounds where the loudest sounds are bird song or the breeze. There are plenty of hiking trails around the resort for explorers to enjoy and it's just a short walk down to the sea for a spot of kayaking. Guests can also take part in daily fitness classes or morning hikes to local landmarks such as Betty's Hope. There is also a swimming pool for refreshing swims and the onsite spa provides a full range of massages, facials and other treatments. Healthy eating is assured with many of the fresh ingredients coming from the gardens while other items such as fish are sourced daily from local markets. Tropic Breeze (www.tropicbreeze.co.uk, tel: 01752 880880) offers 7 nights at The Great House Antigua from £1980 per person, based on 2 adults sharing on a half board basis, including return flights with Virgin Atlantic from London Heathrow and return transfers. Priced for travel 16-23 November. The Painting Retreat activities cost an additional US$104 per suite, per night. For more information visit www.thegreathouseantigua.com

Marriott Hotels UK, Ireland and Nordics Launches Initiative to Reduce Food Waste Across 53 Hotels, Integrating Winnow AI Technology to Achieve 25% Waste Reduction in First Six Months of 2024

Marriott Hotels UK, Ireland and Nordics Launches Initiative to Reduce Food Waste Across 53 Hotels, Integrating Winnow AI Technology to Achieve 25% Waste Reduction in First Six Months of 2024
Marriott Hotels in the UK, Ireland and Nordics has implemented a food waste reduction initiative across 53 managed hotels, integrating Winnow AI technology to monitor and minimise food waste in hotel kitchens. Through the dedicated work of the Food & Beverage teams, Marriott Hotels has reduced food waste by 25% within the first six months of 2024, advancing the company’s sustainability objectives and addressing the pressing issue of food waste across the hospitality industry.  Photo credits: Marriott Hotels With the support of The PLEDGE™, a global food waste certification, Marriott has become the first hotel group to deploy AI food waste technology on this scale in the U.K. By integrating the Winnow AI platform in all 53 hotel food outlets, Marriott’s F&B teams now have access to real-time data on food consumption and waste, enabling smarter decisions around ordering, menu planning, and portion sizes. This resource-efficient approach has allowed staff to significantly reduce food waste while maintaining high standards of guest service and satisfaction.  "Reducing food waste has been a priority for us for some time," said Anna Pazdera, Executive Chef and sustainability champion at Marriott Heathrow. "It’s been incredible to see the progress we’ve made to tackle this issue with the help of AI. The insights we’re getting allow us to make immediate adjustments in the kitchen, which not only helps us reduce waste but also gives us the opportunity to get creative with surplus ingredients, like turning banana peel into pulled pork for our signature vegetarian burgers."  Driven by the dedication of Marriott’s F&B teams, the initiative extends to encouraging mindfulness around food consumption, with hotels offering guests smaller portion options and raising awareness of responsible dining, particularly at buffets. Other hotels have introduced QR codes on menus, giving guests access to zero-waste recipe ideas and tips on reducing waste at home. Additional partnerships with local food banks and organisations, such as Too Good to Go, are in place to redistribute surplus food, and unavoidable food waste is diverted towards composting or recycling.  Photo credits: Marriott Hotels "We are incredibly proud of the tremendous effort and dedication of our teams in reducing food waste across our hotels," said Joanna Chugh, Area Vice President for UK, Ireland, and Nordics for Marriott International. "With over 3,000 team members—including culinary staff, kitchen stewards, and F&B services—working together, we've already achieved a 25% reduction in food waste within six months - the equivalent of 486 tonnes of C02 from being released into the atmosphere or charging over 32 million mobile phones"   “We’re thrilled to see how Marriott’s teams have embraced our technology to achieve such impressive results,” said David Jackson, Director of Marketing & Public Affairs, Winnow. This partnership highlights how technology, combined with Marriott’s commitment and collective efforts, can lead the way setting a new standard for the hospitality industry.”  Marriott International's sustainability efforts extend beyond food waste reduction. Likewise, all the UK, Ireland and Nordic managed Marriott hotels are Green Key certified.  Green Key is internationally recognised across the hospitality industry to certify businesses that demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. To achieve Green Key certification, hotels must meet criteria in areas such as energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, and the use of sustainable products.

Thailand’s INNSiDE Hotel Lauded By Nat Geo Traveller UK Hotel Awards
INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit has clinched a coveted spot in the prestigious National Geographic Traveller (UK)’s 2024 Hotel Awards, taking out the title of the world’s best “Budget Break” hotel. Photo credits: INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit The UK edition of National Geographic Traveller announced on October 3 the winners and runners-up of its annual Hotel Awards, designed to spotlight the world’s best new and improved hotels. “We’ve searched the planet for the world’s best hotels. Here are our picks,” National Geographic Traveller (UK) said. “It’s been an epic year for hotel openings, revamps and extensions, and we've scoured the globe for the best of them. Whether you want to tune into the jungle from a treehouse, sleep in a piece of history or watch the sun set over mountain peaks from your bed, you're guaranteed a memorable stay from our winners and runners-up.” INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit was deemed the winner of “Budget Break” award category. The House of Gods in Scotland and Interno Marche in Italy were the category’s runners-up. “Wallet-friendly prices don’t have to come at the cost of style or substance, as these three hotels illustrate,” National Geographic Traveller (UK) said. Photo credits: INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit The publication applauded the 208-room INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit for its “clutch of bars, restaurants and communal workspaces” and “crowning glory: a glass-bottomed infinity pool overlooking the metropolis”. “In a city increasingly dominated by ultra-luxe hotels, INNSiDE is something of a palate cleanser,” the publication said. “In Bangkok’s On Nut neighbourhood — a short train ride away from the Thai capital’s main action — this light and bright place offers an upscale stay without the matching price tag. Inside, the hotel has embraced a white palette with subtle nods to the city’s landmarks, with wavy ceilings that evoke the flow and majesty of the Chao Phraya River, and gold accents resembling the spires of the Wat Pho and Wat Phra Kaew temples. The restrained interiors are a wise choice that allows the spectacular sky-rise views to shine. The views provide a glittering urban backdrop for a swim, or for sunset tapas at the bar on the floor just below.”  INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit general manager Aarron Nelson said he and his team were “over the moon our hotel’s name is in lights with Nat Geo Traveller”. “Since our hotel’s debut in July 2023, its Asian translation of the INNSiDE brand has truly resonated with all sorts of terrific travellers, connecting us with a wider, global audience, and this award win is testament to that,” he said. “Towering over On Nut, our hotel has many standout attributes ranging from a compelling design that references some of Bangkok’s most famous landmarks, integrated co-working spaces and a 33rd floor rooftop tapas bar where diners peer into the bottom of our 34th floor infinity pool.” The winners and runners-up appear in the publication’s November issue out now in the UK and online: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/national-geographic-traveller-uk-hotel-awards-worlds-best-hotels-2024 Other award categories include “Revamped Hotel”, “Romantic Bolthole”, “City Star”, “Food Hero”, “Beach Sanctuary”, “Wellness Haven”, “Remote Sleep”, “Clever Conversion”, “Eco-stay”, “Mountain Refuge”, and “One-of-a-kind”. INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit is the newest member of an eclectic collection of urban and beach INNSiDE hotels — in 14 different countries across Asia, Europe, and the Americas — designed for those with curious minds who have a fluid lifestyle when it comes to work and leisure.
