Six Senses Ibiza presenta una nueva dimensión de la hospitalidad en la isla balear las cuatro estaciones del año

Descubrir y enamorarse de Ibiza en invierno. El primer resort de Six Senses en España ocupa una posición privilegiada en el norte de Ibiza para conectar con uno mismo, los demás y el mundo alrededor. Situado en las montañas de Cala Xarraca, con impresionantes vistas al mar y el atardecer, Six Senses Ibiza es el nuevo refugio del Mediterráneo.

IBIZA, 22 noviembre 2021- Situado en el norte de Ibiza, Six Senses Ibiza invita a disfrutar de los placeres de la isla en la intimidad del invierno, un paraíso natural que deleitará con su agradable clima y una luz sorprendente.

Inaugurado en julio de 2021, Six Senses Ibiza es el nuevo refugio del Mediterráneo para ser disfrutado las cuatro estaciones del año; el paraíso escondido donde celebrar esta Navidad.

Concebido por el arquitecto y visionario Jonathan Leitersdorf con la misión de capturar la auténtica experiencia de Ibiza de comunidad, espiritualidad y celebración, Six Senses Ibiza ocupa una posición privilegiada en Cala Xarraca, una cala mágica con vistas despejadas al atardecer y una energía especial. El abanico de experiencias evolucionan al ritmo de las estaciones para celebrar el bienestar pionero, la música, el arte, la moda, la espiritualidad, la exploración culinaria y la cultura, todo sinónimo de Ibiza.

Diseño sostenible 

Impulsado por sus propias fuentes de energía renovables -hasta un 51 por ciento actualmente- y con cero uso de plásticos desechables, Six Senses Ibiza es la primera comunidad turística y residencial de las Islas Baleares en lograr la certificación sostenible BREEAM, la evaluación líder mundial de la sostenibilidad en el ámbito de la construcción y un nuevo punto de referencia para el sector inmobiliario sostenible en todo el mundo.

“Six Senses Ibiza es un reflejo de las vibraciones naturales y la vitalidad de las Baleares”, explica Jonathan Leitersdorf. “Al canalizar el sentido único de comunidad y celebración de Ibiza, hemos creado un entorno verdaderamente transformador en el que se invita a los huéspedes a conectarse de manera significativa con la naturaleza, entre ellos y con ellos mismos mientras descubren los elementos que hacen que Ibiza sea diferente a cualquier otro lugar del mundo”.

Integrado en los contornos del acantilado, el resort cuenta con 116 suites y cuevas frente al mar de diseño y acabados inmaculados, además de un conjunto de townhouses a pie de Mediterráneo de tres, cuatro y cinco habitaciones con piscina y terraza privadas ideales para grupos o largas estancias. La arquitectura utiliza materiales de origen local y maximiza el impacto de  la brisa y los aspectos naturales con un acabado natural y sofisticado. Los jardines del resort, construidos siguiendo el modelo de bancal ibicenco, albergan decenas de árboles  frutales y plantas que también abastecen a los restaurantes y bares del resort. Tecnológicamente, Six Senses Ibiza cuenta con sistemas de sonido McIntosh y Sonus Faber para una experiencia sonora de última generación.

Desde los tres restaurantes orgánicos, al Recording Studio y el sensacional Six Senses Spa Ibiza, una gran cantidad de servicios de hospitalidad, wellness, gastronomía, música, arte, moda sostenible y cultura satisfarán todos los caprichos.  Los huéspedes también disfrutan de un servicio personalizado a través de su propio Guest Experience Maker.

Bienestar pionero 

Desde tratamientos exclusivos inspirados localmente, hasta biohacking para optimizar los sistemas de recuperación natural del cuerpo, retiros, soluciones para el cuidado de la piel a medida y programas para mejorar el sueño o la inmunidad, las necesidades e intenciones individuales de los huéspedes estarán bien atendidas en Six Senses Spa Ibiza.

RoseBar ofrece un espacio único especializado en programas de longevidad que combinan diagnósticos con orientación nutricional y modernos métodos de curación para optimizar la salud y el rendimiento como el biohacking. El espacio de 1.200 metros cuadrados también alberga un área fitness con gimnasio 24/7, sala funcional (Black Room), una plataforma de yoga en la azotea con vistas panorámicas de la bahía, ring de boxeo al aire libre y zona húmeda con hammam, caldarium, sauna de infrarrojos, baño de vapor y área de relajación con sitar.

Para guiar a los huéspedes hacia una mayor conciencia y un nuevo sentido de sí mismos, Six Senses Ibiza ofrece dos veces al año un programa de retiros e inmersiones al más alto nivel -de tres, cinco o siete días- facilitados por Six Senses Friends, practicantes residentes e invitados.

Exploración culinaria 

Dirigido por el chef Eyal Shani, el destino gastronómico insignia del complejo, HaSalon Ibiza, y su oferta completa de bares y restaurantes, muestran los poderes de los ingredientes orgánicos, de temporada y de origen local, que se presentan en formas innovadoras. Shani tiene la intención de revitalizar la energía de Ibiza a través de cenas a base de plantas, aprovechando la abundancia natural de ingredientes de la isla. Desde coliflor asada, entrecot de tomate y nubes de ricotta hasta focaccia caliente gigante. El objetivo es que la comida sea la que hable, aderezada con un generoso suministro de aceite de oliva, un esencial absoluto para Shani. La cocina abierta permite a los invitados formar parte del proceso creativo mientras se reúnen en la ‘Mesa del Chef’, de 50 asientos, a la sombra de olivos centenarios y con el mar de fondo.

The Farmers’ Market ofrece una auténtica selección de especialidades vegetales y sostenibles, además de puestos  a modo de mercado con pizzas al horno de leña, charcutería y encurtidos, zumos naturales, café y pastelería, entre otras delicias. The Orchard es el restaurante más íntimo del resort, con una selección de platos realizados con ingredientes de la tierra y el mar producidos responsablemente y preparados al grill y cócteles mexicano-peruanos. Live Cave y Twin Bar son los destinos gastronómicos de Beach Caves, el espectacular edificio situado en el frontal marítimo, especializado en cocina española y mediterránea. A cargo del chef Mark Spitzer del célebre restaurante neoyorquino BONDST, los huéspedes también pueden disfrutar de un menú ecléctico de cocina japonesa especialmente diseñado para esta exclusiva residencia en Six Senses Ibiza.

Con una original selección de elixires botánicos, Pharmacy Bar ofrece experiencias nutritivas de mixología mientras que Secret Bar invita a prolongar la velada hasta la madrugada con una selección de cognacs, whiskies y puros cubanos. The Farm, la granja del resort, abastece de productos frescos orgánicos a diario para disfrutar de experiencias culinarias de la granja a la mesa.

Donde florece la creatividad 

Con una programación dirigida por el compositor, productor y recording artist Tomer Biran, y con el apoyo del ejecutivo de la industria musical Shivas Howard-Brown, Beach Caves es el corazón del resort, agregando un nuevo y atractivo espectro a la escena musical de Ibiza. Beach Cave canaliza el paisaje de Ibiza y los ritmos naturales hipnóticos, utilizando la tecnología McIntosh y Sonus Faber para crear una experiencia sensorial inmersiva a través de eventos musicales en vivo y actuaciones que representan culturas del mundo. Incluso dispone de una exclusiva suite, Cave Royale, con una puerta secreta que conduce al Recording Studio para cuando la creatividad llega en medio de la noche.

Las artes visuales están representadas en las galerías de los pasillos y en los espacios públicos a través de una colección única de 400 imágenes que han sido seleccionadas especialmente por Magnum Photo para Six Senses Ibiza curada por Elaine Groenestein para reflejar los valores fundamentales de Ibiza e inspirar conciencia a través de una narración visual auténtica guiada por 18 conceptos distintos. Imágenes de Robert Capa, Martin Parr o Cristina García Rodero forman parte de la colección, también disponibles para coleccionistas privados.

En el apartado moda, Six Senses Ibiza presenta Agora, un concepto de moda sostenible que busca unir las ideas de lujo y sostenibilidad. Comisariada por las editoras de moda Daniela Agnelli y Tiffanie Darke, la idea detrás de Agora es redefinir el lujo actual. “Creemos que el verdadero significado moderno del lujo es moverse por el mundo de la manera más fluida posible”, dicen. La historia de Agora se desarrolla en cuatro capítulos: ‘Reducir’, ‘Reciclar’, ‘Restaurar’ y ‘Alquilar’.

Experiencias

Los huéspedes pueden obtener su adrenalina saltando desde acantilados o relajarse con una selección de actividades acuáticas de cortesía que incluyen snorkel, kayak, paddle surf o meditación guiada bajo el agua. Aquellos que quieran descubrir la magia de los alrededores pueden hacer una excursión a remo a las cabañas de pescadores de Cala Xuclar, comprar en el mercado de artesanía local los domingos en el bohemio pueblo de Sant Joan o hacer un viaje en barco a la mística isla de Es Vedrà. En el Alchemy Bar se practica el cultivo de la abundancia de la tierra de Ibiza, invitando a los huéspedes a preparar sus propios ungüentos naturales que podrán usar en el spa mientras que en Six Senses Earth Lab los huéspedes pueden familiarizarse con prácticas sostenibles desde una edad temprana descubriendo los poderes de las plantas locales.

Four Seasons Hotel Milano Gets Revamped By Patricia Urquiola

THE NEW FOUR SEASONS HOTEL MILANO: MILAN’S ICONIC HOTEL REOPENS UNVEILING NEW LOBBY, RESTAURANT ZELO, BAR STILLA AND BELOVED GARDEN

After a six-month renovation, Four Seasons Hotel Milano has reopened in the heart of Milan’s fashion district, unveiling contemporary interiors conceived by designer and architect Patricia Urquiola.

Situated in a former 15th century convent, Four Seasons Hotel Milano first opened its doors in 1993. At the time it was the Canadian luxury hospitality brand’s first hotel in continental Europe, setting the standard for Milan and beyond.  Today the Hotel reveals the exciting renovation of its lobby area, restaurant, bar and beloved garden made possible by the owners Gruppo Statuto. The renewed spaces artfully balance a fresh new style while preserving the Hotel’s timeless allure and sophisticated beauty.

Four Seasons Hotel Milano, a destination synonymous with fashion and design, has chosen to partner with architect Patricia Urquiola. Originally from Spain, Urquiola lives and works in Milan, where she studied under the mentorship of the great design master Achille Castiglioni. Her transformation of the spaces provides an ideal backdrop for Four Seasons trademark personalised service and its new restaurant and bar offering.

In the lobby neutral and light colours interplay with the original frescoes and period features of the former convent, while the walls have been enriched with bronze inserts and mirrors.  A variety of hanging lamps, table lamps and floor lighting by Cassina, Aggiolight Custom Lamps and Flos tastefully punctuate the space. Fabrics and screens create an intimate and elegant atmosphere, while the unique ceiling with rectangular inserts creates a frame within a frame, instantly giving the space a timeless and recognisable look.  Furniture classics from Italian design brands Cassina, Poliform, Moroso, Poltrona Frau and Stepevi decorate the areas.

Through the lobby guests reach Zelo, Milan’s new restaurant helmed by Executive Chef Fabrizio Borraccino. During the day the restaurant changes its identity to Zelo Bistrot, and the expanded outdoor area allows for seating both inside and out.

Zelo Bistrot offers a menu of light and playful dishes, while in the evening Zelo proposes both an à la carte menu as well as a tasting menu of the Chef’s surprising creations. The menu has been completely reinvented to reflect the clientele’s evolving tastes and Chef Borraccino’s ever increasing focus on pure Italian cuisine and his scrupulous attention to selecting the best local producers. Seasonality and sustainability are at the core of Zelo’s new menu, which leads guests on a sensorial journey through Italy.

Stilla, the new bar, is destined to become the beating heart of Milan social life.  Positioned to the left of the lobby, the circular bar is the protagonist of the indoor space, elegantly appointed with cognac leather armchairs and velvet seating and sofas in shades of red and dark green. Guests can also sit outside in the Hotel’s enchanting garden.  Stilla is a great spot to meet from morning until night, whether for a coffee, a quick bite or cocktails. The new menu created by bar manager Luca Angeli surprises with innovative new signature drinks and a focus on ice craftsmanship.  The eclectic menu features everything from Aeropress American coffee to a classic club sandwich to the town’s best Negroni Sbagliato.  Health conscious guests will be delighted to find light plates and salads, with a focus on sustainable and seasonal ingredients.

Camino, one of the Hotel’s most adored areas that takes its name from the Italian word camino for fireplace, has been transformed into an inviting lounge with a wine cellar/tasting room, a great setting to experience sommelier Lorenza Panzera’s interesting wine list while listening to the beats of a DJ seat.

“For Four Seasons Hotel Milano my goal was to renew the space while respecting the history of the Hotel and simultaneously entering into a dialogue with the urban context of Milan. Top of my mind was how fond regular clients are of the Hotel, so the challenge was to reinterpret the space, which is truly a statement destination in the city, in a contemporary lens with the accent on the heritage of the building that expresses itself in the frescos that still adorn the cloister today.  The common areas of the Hotel are the perfect expression of its personality.  Through the use of sober colours and pure shapes that recall the building’s 15th century past, my aim was to balance the relationship between light and space with an emphasis on the precious period features,” states Patricia Urquiola.

The Hotel’s cloister garden, which hosts seating areas for both the bar Stilla and restaurant Zelo, has been renewed by landscape architect and agronomist Flavio Pollano, an expert in vertical green, botanics and garden design. Pollano’s objective was to celebrate the history of the plants and trees that were already part of the garden and underline the storied image of this urban oasis. What has changed is the interpretation of the space, which now sees nature take over from geometry to become a “garden to be experienced and felt,” as Pollano says.  “The new garden breaks away from the structures of the past without touching its original soul. The concept is that of an evolving space designed to be enjoyed.” The garden will also host a new raw bar, where guests can enjoy delectable food and drinks on long summer evenings while listening to the tunes of a DJ.

The renovated areas also feature carefully curated contemporary artwork selected to interplay with the Hotel’s past. Among the artists chosen are Sophie Ko, Matthew Shlian, Vanessa Beecroft, Crow Studio, Joergen Craig Lello & Tobias Arnell, lrene Kung, Massimo Listri and Louise Mertens.

“This is a thrilling new chapter for Four Seasons Hotel Milano. We have worked hard these past months thinking about the city of Milan, and the fact that the world looks to us as a city where trends are set and new ideas are hatched. We are reopening the iconic Four Seasons Hotel Milano, excited to welcome back our local, national and international clients to a Hotel that is both transformed yet still very familiar,” states Andrea Obertello, General Manager.

With this first phase of renovation completed, Four Seasons Hotel Milano reopens its doors while embarking on the phased renovation of rooms, suites and meeting areas, always with the aim to deliver the incomparable Four Seasons service and experience.

La mitad de dichas habitaciones tienen vistas a la bahía de Santa Eulalia, con vistas despejadas al mar Mediterráneo, mientras que las otras habitaciones ofrecen vistas al patrimonio rural de Ibiza, incluido el histórico Puig de Missa, que data del siglo XVI. En la zona de entrada, los huéspedes son recibidos en el Ocean Brasserie & Bar, que ocupa el salón principal del lobby.

Aquí, todo un ventanal de cristal se abre a una terraza cubierta para una cena informal con vistas a la playa. La terraza de la piscina cuenta con tumbonas y “cabañas” de diseño personalizado mirando a nuestro “Secret Garden”. Un refugio verde para siestas aisladas con un escenario central preparado para noches de música en acústico, nuestras “Sunset Sessions”. Tanto el jardín secreto como el restaurante contarán con grandes marcas tanto en su gestión como en su ejecución para ofrecer así tanto a huéspedes como a locales, el mejor equilibrio entre tradición gastronómica y vanguardia culinaria.

Con los orígenes del hotel en mente como uno de los primeros hoteles en Santa Eulalia, originalmente inaugurado en 1968 y sentando un precedente para el boom turístico de Ibiza, el nuevo diseño adopta las características inherentes del Modernismo de mediados del siglo XX. Líneas sencillas, balcones empotrados e interiores en capas.

El gusto por la nostalgia y las cualidades de la atemporalidad fueron los principios fundamentales del equipo de diseño. Los colgantes Louis Poulsen PH5 cuelgan sobre las cabinas de recepción de diseño personalizado, el Togo de Michel Ducaroy para Ligne Roset se ubica junto a asientos de diseño personalizado acompañados de mesas auxiliares Woud, alfombras de yute a medida de Naturtex, trabajos de arcilla hechos a mano por Atelier Vierkant y un mural de azulejo pintado a mano de 6 metros de ancho corona la pared del lobby

“La importancia del Hotel Riomar es que es anterior a la mayor parte de la ciudad que lo rodea. Santa Eulalia es muy consciente del desarrollo, por lo que a la hora de comenzar el proyecto había que tener en cuenta lo que teníamos y lo que podíamos hacer con la propiedad. Nuestra ambición es fasear el proyecto durante varias temporadas, revelando lentamente nuestra visión general de la experiencia que el hotel debe ofrecer”. – Sichi Bon, director creativo del proyecto.

El rebranding del hotel evoca también su pasado cercano al minimalismo. El hotel pondrá en marcha un canal de comunicación, titulado The Modernist, una guía de la isla con una perspectiva global, donde trataremos de compartir y esporar todo el contenido de lo que pase en el hotel y sus alrededores.

“Queremos crear un espacio con espíritu y de conexión con la gente, el Hotel Riomar Ibiza está pensado para compartir, disfrutar y conectar a los clientes con la comunidad de la isla” – Alejandro Cainzos, director de Marketing.

“El hotel será un espacio para socilizar, conocerse y disfrutar. Es un hotel que tiene como referente la naturalidad y elegancia de los veranos en las costas mediterráneas de los 50 y 60’s. – Marco Schiralli, director del Hotel Riomar Ibiza.

Los detalles son clave en la marca, Tribute Portfolio. Cada punto de contacto con el hotel se ha tenido en cuenta, desde los amenities personalizados a los materiales corporativos. Esta búsqueda de la calidad también es evidente gracias a un servicio honesto y sincero y detalles que incluyen una cuidada selección de lecturas, una biblioteca de vinilos. Incluso la posibilidad de reservar un tocadiscos portátil para que los huéspedes disfruten de la música en sus habitaciones.

El Hotel Riomar Ibiza abre sus puertas a partir del verano de 2021 como miembro del grupo Marriott dentro de su colección de Tribute Portfolio Hotels. Los beneficios para miembros de Marriott Bonvoy incluyen contactless check-in, mobile key y puntos de fidelización en F&B.

El hotel forma parte del desarrollo de la bahía de Santa Eulalia, que incluye W Ibiza y su Chiringuito Blue, la cocina sana del Ve Café y el elegante restaurante La Llama. Dentro de este desarrollo en la bahía incluyen Apartamentos Marsol con 16 apartamentos de lujo relajado y el restaurante Pecador del chef catalán Nandu Jubany, galardonado con una estrella Michelin.

Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River.

NOW OPEN: FOUR SEASONS HOTEL BANGKOK AT CHAO PHRAYA RIVER WELCOMES GUESTS TO AN URBAN OASIS IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

Four Seasons returns to Thailand’s capital with an all-new riverside sanctuary designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, featuring a collection of signature dining and bar experiences, an urban wellness centre, light-filled event spaces and expansive outdoor courtyards and terraces

The Hotel is characterised by open space and water features

Rising above the majestic Chao Phraya River in the heart of Bangkok’s Creative District is an enclave of tiered buildings, connected at ground level by a series of indoor and outdoor spaces, quiet courtyards and lively restaurants. Art-filled spaces, sophisticated lounges and lush tropical greenery are surrounded by the gentle sounds of water features and inviting open-air terraces.  Welcome to the all-new Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River.

“The much-anticipated return of Four Seasons to Thailand’s capital is nothing short of spectacular,” says Christian Clerc, Four Seasons President, Global Operations. “Guests will be in awe of the exquisite design, the world-class restaurant and bar options, and a state-of-the-art wellness centre. As always, the unparalleled, intuitive service from Four Seasons people will be at the centre of it all. Thanks to our visionary owner-partners at Country Holdings Group Public Company Limited, this magnificent Hotel combines everything that one has come to expect of Four Seasons in Thailand and around the world.”

Located along 200 metres (650 feet) of open riverfront just 40 minutes from Suvarnabhumi International Airport along the famed Charoenkrung Road, the fourth location in the Four Seasons Thailand Collection offers myriad opportunities for locals and international travellers to make connections with each other and the exciting city that surrounds it.  Features include a 299-room hotel, destination restaurants and lounges, stunning event spaces, and an urban wellness centre like no other.  The complex also includes 366 Four Seasons Private Residences, opening in 2021.

General Manager Lubosh Barta, who began his Four Seasons career in Bangkok 16 years ago and was most recently opening General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, sums up the experience: “Like the city of Bangkok, our new Four Seasons is full of surprises, whether it’s the breath-taking river views, the rich design details, the perfect cocktail or a striking piece of art.  We look forward to offering personalised experiences in an environment of safety and trust as we embrace Four Seasons enhanced global healthy and safety program, Lead With Care, with uncompromising Four Seasons service in a truly spectacular setting.”

Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok is located within buildings design consulted by Hamiltons International architects.  In describing his vision for the interiors of Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, lead designer Jean-Michel Gathy of DENNISTON said: “Sometimes dramatic. Sometimes intimate. But always charismatic.” High ceilings and glass walls provide breathing space, while pools and flowing water echo the constant movement of the Chao Phraya River.  Thailand’s natural beauty and the city’s urbane charms come together in every aspect of the interiors, punctuated by an art collection amassed by Gathy himself.  Celebrating the country’s legendary craftsmanship and artistry, a dedicated ART Space in partnership with MOCA Bangkok running from lobby through to the river itself showcases contemporary Thai artists in changing exhibitions.

Destination Dining, World Class Mixology

In developing the food and beverage program at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, a dream team of experts in cuisines, room design and hospitality innovation came together to create a collection of original dining and drinking concepts, with a star-studded team of chefs, mixologists and sommeliers in the kitchens and behind the bars.  Led by Executive Chef Andrea Accordi – previously of the eight Michelin-starred Four Seasons Hong Kong – along with French Executive Pastry Chef Bruce Trouyet, the team includes specialist culinarians in each restaurant. Philip Bischoff, who was previously lead bartender at the landmark Manhattan Bar in Singapore, now presides over the Hotel’s beverage program.

All outlets are designed by the renowned team at AvroKo, with the exception of the signature Chinese restaurant, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy.  Experiences include:

Coming Soon:  The Urban Wellness Centre at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok

Across more than 2,500 square metres (26,900 square feet) of dedicated space, the Urban Wellness Centre is conceived along three streams of wellness, two floors of innovation and one holistic haven.

“Every aspect of the spa places equal emphasis on the ideas of Mind (spirituality), Body (spa), and Work (fitness),” says Senior Director of Spa Sandie Johannessen.  “With the Palm Courtyard at its centre, it’s a true oasis of wellbeing in the heart of one of the world’s busiest cities, where each guest will find peace, relaxation, renewal and even a bit of indulgence with the skilled guidance of our caring therapists and wellness experts.”

Bangkok’s Creative District

Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok is in the heart of the city’s most remarkable community.  Along the historic Charoenkrung Road and in myriad small streets and alleyways, the area is undergoing a renaissance as street food vendors are joined by food-forward restaurants, traditional crafts are side by side with bold contemporary art, and tiny stalls selling handcrafted wares sit next to eclectic shops filled with designer goods.

Along Chao Phraya River, Four Seasons guests can head to ICONSIAM, the city’s newest premium shopping mall, with direct access from the Hotel’s river dock.  Or, take a water taxi to wander the river’s canals, floating kitchens, ancient temples and charming fishing piers.
