Global Hotel Alliance launches the Green Collection

GLOBAL HOTEL ALLIANCE LAUNCHES GREEN COLLECTION TO HIGHLIGHT HOTELS TAKING ACTION TO PROTECT PEOPLE AND THE PLANET

● Green Collection features nearly 200 hotels from GHA DISCOVERY’s global portfolio
● It empowers GHA DISCOVERY’s 24 million members to make conscious and responsible travel choices
● Global Hotel Alliance to make a US$5 donation to charitable causes for every Green Collection hotel booking made via GHA DISCOVERY channels before 30th April 2023

Dubai, UAE, 23rd March 2023: UAE-based Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), the world’s largest alliance of independent hotel brands, has launched its Green Collection, bringing under one
umbrella nearly 200 hotels, resorts and palaces operated by GHA hotel brands that are demonstrating their commitment to protecting people and the planet. Every Green Collection property has attained at least one certification from a globally recognised environmental organisation, with EarthCheck, Green Growth 2050, Green Key and Green Globe among the 15 leading certification bodies represented, and each requiring hotels to meet the highest international standards for sustainability initiatives and performance, with regular thirdparty audits conducted to retain certification.

Achieving certification demonstrates a hotel’s long-term pledge to upholding these standards, with each Green Collection property being a pioneer of practices that preserve the natural environment and benefit local communities in the destinations where they operate.

“Across GHA’s 800 properties from 40 brands, located in 100 countries around the globe, there are some world-class examples of practices and initiatives with a positive environmental and social impact, and we are incredibly proud of these efforts, which we celebrate with the launch of Green Collection,” said GHA CEO Chris Hartley.

“It also helps travellers, including the 24 million members of our GHA DISCOVERY loyalty programme, to make more informed travel decisions based on their values and priorities, which today include hotel sustainability credentials and treading as lightly as possible in the destinations they visit.”

“By launching Green Collection, we are reiterating our alignment to the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), which guide the development of the hospitality industry for a more sustainable future,” Hartley added. With 69% of travellers actively seeking sustainable travel options in 2023, according to a recent World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) report, Green Collection meets this accelerating demand, empowering the 24 million members of the GHA DISCOVERY loyalty programme to make conscious and responsible travel choices. In 2022, members demonstrated their preference for Green Collection hotels, which contributed to 32% in stays, 39% in nights, 47% in room revenue and 49% in total revenue.

Green Collection accounts for almost one-quarter (24%) of the GHA DISCOVERY portfolio and represents half of its brands, from mid-scale to high-end, including Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas, Avani Hotels & Resorts, Capella Hotels & Resorts, Corinthia Hotels, Elewana Collection, GLO Hotels, JA Resorts & Hotels, Kempinski Hotels, Marco Polo Hotels, NH Hotels, NH Collection, nhow, Niccolo Hotels, Oaks Hotels Resorts & Suites, Pan Pacific Hotels & Resorts, Patina Hotels & Resorts, PARKROYAL COLLECTION, PARKROYAL, Sukhothai Hotels & Resorts, Outrigger Resorts & Hotels and The Set Collection. From city hotels to beach resorts, the collection is geographically diverse and is present in 44 countries and 112 destinations, spanning every region. In the Middle East and North Africa, Green Collection properties account for half of the GHA DISCOVERY’s portfolio, while in Africa and Asia, it account for 37% and 36%, respectively.

Countries with the highest density of Green Collection hotels are the Netherlands with 31 properties (97% of GHA hotels in that country); Thailand with 16 hotels (52%); the UAE with 15 hotels (52%); China with 13 hotels (31%); Kenya with 10 hotels (77%); and Belgium and Argentina with 7 hotels (54% and 50%, respectively). Many GHA brands have achieved certification for every property in their portfolio or are well on their way to attaining this goal, with examples including Elewana Collection, GLO Hotels, JA Resorts & Hotels, Kempinski Hotels, Capella Hotels & Resorts and Outrigger Resorts.

Properties in the Green Collection are taking action in line with Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria (GSTC) guidelines, which encompass the implementation of effective sustainable planning; maximising social and economic benefits for local communities; enhancing the cultural heritage of destinations where they operate; and reducing negative environmental impact. To celebrate the launch of the Green Collection, GHA DISCOVERY is giving back to the causes important to members and its hotel brands. For every Green Collection hotel booking made on www.ghadiscovery.com or the GHA DISCOVERY mobile app before the end of April 2023 and completed by 31st July 2023, GHA will donate US$5 to the charities it supports as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility Programme, which includes Environmental Protection, Healthcare & Wellbeing, Children & Youth Programmes, and Animal Welfare.

“Social awareness and environmental sustainability are core values that GHA has embraced since its inception. Our overarching philosophy is to treat people and the planet with the utmost respect, creating a more resilient, equal, and sustainable global ecosystem, and the efforts of our Green Collection properties are a testament to this,” said Hartley.

“We are committed to ensuring GHA remains a favourite global brand in hospitality, not only trusted for the high-quality products and services we offer to our hotel brands and GHA DISCOVERY members, but the responsible approach we take to delivering them. The launch of Green Collection and our donation contribution are the first of many philanthropic elements we have planned in 2023, aligned to what customers and stakeholders now value most”, he concluded.

Examples of Green Collection Hotels’ sustainability efforts:

PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore is the country’s first ‘garden-in-a-hotel’, home to 2,400 trees, shrubs and groundcovers, which serve as natural air purifiers. Featuring 210
solar panels, an urban farm that supplies its spa and restaurants, an in-room filtered water system, and a double-glazed glass roof, the waste and energy reduction gains are significant. Some 51,300 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions were prevented by rejuvenating instead of rebuilding the hotel, so it received a BCA Green Mark Gold certification upon opening in 2020.

Every property in the Avani Hotels & Resorts portfolio must hold an independently audited Green Growth 2050 certification. As part of the brand’s effort to become a Net Zero Carbon organisation by 2050, it is introducing science-based targets for energy, carbon and water intensity, as well as pledging to cut organic waste to landfills in half in the next eight years. Avani has pledged to reduce the usage of single-use plastic by 75% by 2024, and every nature-based property will support long-term habitat or species conservation by 2023. Avani Palm View Dubai

Hotel & Suites and Avani Ibn Battuta Dubai Hotel have both been awarded the prestigious Green Growth 2050 certification for their sustainability practices, with Avani Palm View Dubai receiving Green Growth’s Platinum certification in recognition of its water and energy conservation programmes; aluminium-can, glass and cooking oil recycling; tree planting; and green public transport awareness campaign.

More than 36 Anantara properties globally have been awarded Green Growth 2050 certification based on GSTC-recognised hotel industry standards. Awards received by Anantara recognise excellence in human rights, child protection, employee protection, community development, environmental stewardship, and tourism ethics and sustainability. A few examples include Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort preserving the coral reefs protecting its beaches, and the marine life in the island’s lagoon, by initiating the Coral Adoption Programme, encouraging guests to take part by planting coral in a reef nursery, while The Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort in Chiang Rai, Thailand, supports the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, providing a home for elephants, mahouts and their families.

Kempinski Hotels aims to measure 100% of energy emissions across all properties by the end of this year and has set out to fully implement science-based targets for emissions reductions aligned with the Paris Agreement by the end of next year. The luxury hospitality firm is rolling out the EarthCheck Certified programme across its portfolio, with participating hotels actively monitoring and reporting the environmental and social impacts from their operations, including energy and water consumption, carbon footprint, waste generation, community engagement and more. Economic concerns addressed by EarthCheck include employment conditions, support for the local economy, use of fair-trade goods and services, and recognition of the seasonality of revenue streams. GHA’s Green Collection features 14 Kempinski hotels that are EarthCheck certified in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia.

Outrigger Hotels & Resorts was the first hospitality company in the state of Hawai‘i to commit to earning the prestigious Green Seal sustainability certification for its hotels and resorts, as well as the first hospitality brand to pursue the certification outside of the United States. Green Seal is the gold standard of global health and environmental leadership, and Outrigger has implemented science-based standards at properties including Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort, Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel, Castaway Island, Fiji and Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort. Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel has been recognised as a sustainability leader with EarthCheck Gold Certified status, meeting performance targets regarding greenhouse gas emissions, energy
efficiency, social and cultural engagement, waste management and more. Recent initiatives include the restaurant serving sustainable dishes.

JA Resorts & Hotels is a leading pioneer on sustainable initiatives in the GCC region’s hospitality arena. Green practices include saving more than five million pieces of single-use plastic through
on-property water bottling plants, composting food waste into soil residue which is then used in bio-farms across the Emirates, amongst other sustainability measures.

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.

ADMARES entregar 16 hoteles flotantes a QATAR para servir a turistas y fanáticos de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2022

En los preparativos para organizar la Copa Mundial de 2022, Qetaifan Projects, una empresa propiedad de Katara Hospitality firmó un memorando de entendimiento con ADMARES

ADMARES TO DELIVER 16 FLOATING HOTELS TO QATAR TO SERVE TOURISTS AND FANS FOR THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2022

ADMARES ENTREGAR 16 HOTELES FLOTANTES A QATAR PARA SERVIR A TURISTAS Y VENTILADORES PARA LA COPA MUNDIAL DE LA FIFA 2022

Qetaifan Projects continúa su serie de alianzas locales e internacionales que se sumarían a Qetaifan Island North y servirían a los sectores de turismo, hospitalidad y entretenimiento en Qatar. El Memorando de Entendimiento incluye la construcción y operación de 16 hoteles flotantes en las costas de Qetaifan Island North para proporcionar alojamiento a las masas dentro de las aldeas de fanáticos durante la Copa Mundial 2022. Los hoteles tienen un diseño único; 72 metros de largo y 16 metros de ancho (236 pies de largo y 52 pies de ancho), cada uno con 101 habitaciones, un restaurante y un bar salón. Los 16 hoteles de cuatro pisos serán idénticos y ofrecerán un total de 1616 habitaciones flotantes.

El acuerdo se firmó en presencia de HE Sheikh Nasser bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, Director Gerente de Proyectos Qetaifan y Vicepresidente de Katara Hospitality, Sr. Hesham Sharaf, Director de Operaciones, y Sheikh Nasser bin Abdulaziz Al-Thani, Jefe de Negocios Desarrollo en Proyectos Qetaifan, además del Sr. Mikael Hedberg, CEO de ADMARES, y el Sr. Samer Malaeb, Director Regional de la compañía.

HE Sheikh Nasser bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, Director Gerente de Proyectos Qetaifan y Vicepresidente de Katara Hospitality expresó su felicidad al atraer inversiones al país, diciendo: “Estamos contentos de que haya inversores que compartan nuestra visión y vean el desarrollo de Qetaifan Island North como un proyecto prometedor que tiene un futuro como el primer destino turístico en Qatar, lo que indica la aspiración de los inversores en los retornos debido al clima seguro y protegido logrado por el estado para alentar y atraer la inversión extranjera y crear nuevas oportunidades, que se reflejará positivamente en el mercado local, alentará la competencia y estimulará a los sectores estatales en todos los campos, especialmente con los desarrollos recientes presenciados dentro de estos sectores “.

Vale la pena mencionar que ADMARES es el líder mundial en bienes raíces alternativos con métodos de construcción pioneros que combinan las más modernas técnicas de construcción marina, marina, terrestre y modular. Las soluciones llave en mano de ADMARES garantizan mayores retornos para los desarrolladores, plazos de proyectos más cortos y un impacto ambiental mínimo.

La firma del MOU se produce a través de la dedicación de Qetaifan Projects y ADMARES para ofrecer soluciones sostenibles con un mínimo impacto ecológico, ya que los hoteles se construirán de acuerdo con los más estrictos estándares de energía, por ejemplo, los hoteles dependerán de la energía solar. Para garantizar la funcionalidad y el atractivo general de los hoteles, los edificios modernos y urbanos han sido diseñados por la galardonada firma de arquitectos finlandeses, Sigge Architects.

“Esta es la primera vez que se utilizan bienes inmuebles flotantes puros como una solución temporal para las necesidades de alojamiento a esta escala. Estos hoteles no requieren puertos importantes y aguas profundas, ya que su calado es significativamente menor que los grandes cruceros ”, dice el Sr. Mikael Hedberg, CEO de ADMARES. Agregó que “después de la Copa Mundial, los hoteles se pueden ubicar en cualquier lugar costero donde el agua tenga al menos 4 metros (13 pies) de profundidad. Estamos entusiasmados de ser parte de la solución para la cantidad de alojamiento necesario para la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2022 “.

El Sr. Samer Malaeb, Director Regional de ADMARES, expresó su satisfacción con esta cooperación y dijo que “los hoteles flotantes ADMARES posicionarán a Qetaifan Island North como una isla de entretenimiento preferida en Qatar que ofrece una experiencia de hospitalidad única que satisface las diversas necesidades del segmento de mercado”.

En vista de la proximidad de Qetaifan Island North al Estadio Internacional de Lusail, que albergará los juegos de apertura y final de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2022, y la gran cantidad de turistas y fanáticos que visitarán Qatar antes y durante la Copa del Mundo, que se espera se llevará a cabo por primera vez en el Medio Oriente, la isla satisfará todas las necesidades de las masas y los turistas; con proyectos, instalaciones y actividades de entretenimiento, además de las aldeas de fanáticos durante el torneo, que incluirá los hoteles flotantes.

Qetaifan Island North, ubicada frente a la ciudad de Lusail, abarca aproximadamente 1.3 millones de metros cuadrados (4.7 millones de pies cuadrados) con 830,000 metros cuadrados (2.7 millones de pies cuadrados) de atracciones, con siete playas; convirtiéndolo en el principal destino costero de la ciudad.
