What's Floating Around Cloud 9? 7 March 2016

Welcome to another week and we are starting the week with Carol's Birthday, so Happy Birthday Carol - she is off exploring the wilds of Essex for most of this week and Janet who celebrated her birthday last week is off in Scotland so we're a bit thin on the ground this week here in the office!

So what else is new? Well, we like to keep up to date with new hotel launches and opening this June, is Australia’s newest, world class venue at the heart of Darling Harbour. Offering uninterrupted water views, the Four Points by Sheraton in Sydney has inspiring waterfront event space and state of the art conference facilities. The 3,700 square metres of flexible meeting and event space, expansive pre-function areas and unique dining options can all be tailored to suit your needs. Then when the day is done, your guests can relax in one of the 892 refurbished guestrooms, or have a little indulgence in the brand new 300 seat restaurant, contemporary bar or Rooftop bar which opens towards the end of the year.

A little closer to home is the Barcelo Emperatriz, Madrid, a hotel that reinterprets the palace aesthetics of 19th century Madrid, and is inspired by the life of Eugenia de Montijo. The new, completely remodelled design of this central hotel matches this cosmopolitan, intellectual and visionary personality, who was the last Spanish empress.

Located in the centre of the Salamanca neighbourhood, next to Paseo de la Castellana and Calle Serrano, this hotel is perfect for business and leisure trips. It is a starting point for discovering one of the most elegant neighbourhoods in Madrid, where the most sophisticated restaurants in the city can be found alongside boutiques selling the most prestigious brands.

The luxurious rooms at the Barceló Emperatriz hotel base their B-Room concept on maximum Barceló standards and quality, completely fitted and decorated with avant-garde furniture that contrasts with classic details, such as the Capitone armchairs. Guests will be surprised to find, in a hotel that is respectful to tradition, cutting-edge technology such as a connectivity panel, Mini Media Hub, which connects the room’s TV with your mobile, tablet or laptop via USB connection or Bluetooth.

The Mutis restaurant is decorated with floral motifs, reflecting the Empress’s love of nature, which creates a warm and relaxed environment. It offers an exquisite buffet breakfast and a select menu that includes the daily Barceló Healthy Gourmet menu: dishes that combine the pleasure of fine dining with healthy eating.

Guests at the hotel will discover a new meaning of luxury with a unique personality, in an exceptional location and with first-class facilities. Whether it is for leisure or business, a visit to a European capital like Madrid, with its wonderful artistic heritage and vibrant cultural agenda, is a fantastic experience. Staying at Barceló Emperatriz for your visit is a unique and unforgettable experience. 


In other news this week we are keen to find out more about the new brand under Hilton, Canopy Hotels. Canopy by Hilton brings a modern boutique hotel experience which guests can enjoy with directed service and thoughtful local choices. 

Beyond simply creating a positive stay, five essential elements define what it means to be a Canopy hotel. Firstly its great neighbourhoods as Canopy is all about being local, through design, food and beverage, art and knowledge. No two Canopy hotels will be the same, and they apparently know that’s what their guests want. Next up is their market-driven approach. Who knows the markets and guests’ needs better than their owners? Together with our owners, they will explore each hotel’s unique potential for destination dining, rooftop bars, social and meeting spaces and swimming pools.  
Comfort and design is next and each Canopy Hotel will take a people-first approach to design.  The energy of their great neighbourhoods flows through the open, welcoming lobby space and this energy gives way to warm, inviting and comfortable “just-right rooms.”  
More included value is also one of their assets as they know guests are willing to pay for a more inclusive approach. So basic Wi-Fi and an artisanal breakfast will be included, along with a local welcome gift and an evening tasting of local beers, wines or spirits to bring the neighbourhood to life. The “positively yours” culture is a new addition and all staff or team members are “enthusiasts” and in the front of the house it’s a whole new approach: one-stop service.

The first Canopy Hotel opens shortly in Reykjavik with further properties set to open in the States in 2017, 2018 and 2019 but no news of any in the UK as yet.

So busy as ever here at Cloud 9 and we look forward to catching up soon! Have a great week!
