Qui Heritage Line to Chart New

Waters on Upper Mekong.

Luxury cruise operator schedules

September launch for latest vessel

LUANG PRABANG, LAOS (Feb. 12, 2020) — One of Southeast

Asia’s leading boutique cruise operators Heritage Line, is

making progress on its sumptuous new ten-berth ship

Anouvong, which will be the first luxury boat to ply the

upper-Mekong river in Laos upon its launch later this year.

“We are well on course to complete Anouvong in good

time,” said Andreas Schroetter, Heritage Line’s director of

sales and marketing. “It’s always a really exciting feeling

watching the team at the shipyard guiding our boats to

completion, and this is no exception. It makes it even more

thrilling when you know that this particular ship will be

such a game-changer when it comes to cruise journeys on

the upper reaches of the Mekong River.”

Winding its way from the mysterious Golden Triangle at

the Thailand/Laos border in the northwest, through the

royal city of Luang Prabang and down to the Lao capital,

Vientiane, the boat, with its eight spacious staterooms and

two luxurious suites, will plot a course through some of the

planet’s most spectacular riverine territory.

The cruise operator offers two journeys. The shorter sailing

travels from Luang Prabang to the town of Huay Xai on

the Laos/Thailand border (or vice versa) over three days.

A longer journey unfolds over 7 or 9 nights and charts a

course between the Laos/Thailand border at Huay Xai and

Vientiane.

The shorter trip offers spectacular scenery, a trip to the

village of Huay Palang to meet ethnic Khmu tribes and

other highlights such as Pak Ou Caves, which is home to

4000 sacred Buddhist statues.

The longer alternative embraces sight-seeing along

remote river areas and various activities such as kayaking

through calm, shallow stretches and a gourmet banquet

on a river sandbank.

The longer journey is also inclusive of a full discovery of

Luang Prabang at the mid-point of the journey.

It’s fair to say that the boat – which is named after the last

Lao king – will be something of a pioneer. But then that’s

nothing new for Heritage Line, an operator that is used to

charting fresh horizons on Asia’s waterways and doing it

in style.The use of small vessels offers a sense of intimacy

unmatched by operators who use bigger boats. This

exclusivity, meanwhile, is enhanced by an array of enticing

extras. Each of Heritage Line’s boats has been crafted to

the very highest specifications, with inimitable décor and

outfitting ensuring the ultimate in onboard luxury for

guests.

Anouvong stays true to this philosophy. Its

design aesthetic combines traditional Lao

design with French colonial elegance.

The Deluxe and Deluxe Executive rooms (20sqm) feature

French balconies and occupy both the main and upper

(terrace) decks, with four rooms on each level. The two

Signature Suites are located at the front of the main deck

and each boast 30sqm of floor space. Both Signature

Suites have their own private balcony as well as a spacious

bathroom with Jacuzzi.

The terrace deck is the highlight of the vessel’s public spaces

and is also conveniently connected to the comfortable,

laid-back and air-conditioned café-bar lounge. From the

shaded sun beds, passengers have widescreen views

of the passing river landscapes and local life onshore. In

Anouvong’s “Bodhi Spa”, treatments for singles and couples

are offered throughout the day. The exquisite De-Lagree

Dining Hall, meanwhile, offers gourmet dining with local

delicacies and international favorites in a venue flanked by

expansive panels on both sides.

Renowned as one of Asia’s most singular

operators, Heritage Line has become legendary

among cruise connoisseurs. Its reputation is

founded on a range of factors. Whereas many

other operators utilize bigger boats, Heritage

Line’s collection of distinctive vessels are

smaller in scale, ensuring an intimacy that helps

to forge bonds, nourish friendships and create

unforgettable moments.

WAYS

As we move into the new year and

the new decade, any Indonesian

based hotelier without an automated

revenue management system is operating

at a severe disadvantage. In a competitive

operating environment, like Bali, where

every pricing decision and booking control

counts, all hotels need to ensure that they

are maximising their revenue opportunities

while minimising operational costs and

attracting the right guests at the right rates.

While revenue

management is not a

new industry practice

by any means,

it is not always

fully understood

or appreciated by

property owners.

YOUR HOTEL WILL BENEFIT

FROM AN RMS IN 2020 .

Written by - Rachel Grier, Area Vice President, Asia Pacific for IDeaS

So how can a Revenue

Management System

(RMS) add tangible

value and bring

defined business

benefits to Indonesian

hotels in 2020?

GROW YOUR PROPERTY

REVENUES

In the past, manual-based revenue management

approaches have looked at a

hotel’s booking history and current activity

levels to forecast demand.

During periods of high demand, revenue

managers would increase rates. When

demand is low, they would discount them,

thereby generating best-case revenue

under both scenarios. However, in 2020,

forecasting, inventory controls and pricing

decisions will rarely be this simple.

The reality is that today, amid heavy reliance

on online travel agents (OTAs) and

flash sales, it’s almost impossible to look

at a hotel’s booking history and identify

trends because the booking patterns

are changing constantly driven by rapid

changes in consumer behaviours.

It is therefore incredibly challenging for

revenue managers to recognise small

changes, which indicate shifts in demand,

and then to react in time to leverage the

opportunity and drive profit. In a highspeed

environment, manually collecting,

evaluating and calculating data via

spreadsheets is not only a tedious process,

it’s also slow and highly susceptible to mistakes

and missed opportunities.

This is where an RMS makes a huge difference

to both the top and bottom line.

Through a series of specialised algorithms

and calculations, an RMS automatically assesses

hotel performance and market demand

and deploys pricing decisions across

the distribution ecosystem accordingly.

Combined with highly visual user dashboards,

an RMS enables team members

across the organisation to quickly understand

future and current market demand

using data at both the market and hotel

level – all of which are vital to both deliver

and grow hotel profitability.

Attract the right business

Not all business is equal. Hotels in Indonesia

need to balance lower-rated, longer

lead time business with higher-rated, short

lead time bookings (which are often business

guests who are more likely to stay

again in the future and have a higher total

guest value).


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 15

An advanced RMS not only generates prices that adapt to market

changes, but anticipates these variations in advance. In a competitive

hotel market, slight pricing changes can have a significant

impact on demand. Therefore, any hotelier operating without systems

that can analytically decipher the impacts of a specific price

change (i.e., $7 higher or lower) on occupancy and the resulting

revenue benefit (or lack thereof) for their property, is operating at a

disadvantage.

Reduce operational costs

To help avoid turning away higher-rated business, accurate data

that highlights who their most valuable customers are is essential.

To properly understand the value of a guest, a holistic view of a

customer’s lifetime contribution must be obtained, not just their

room-rate spend. Data from all transaction systems should be

integrated to provide a true picture of a guest’s preferred activities

and their overall value to also include ancillary value: food service

to the day spa usage, guest rooms to gift shop purchases, the cost

of the booking channel, etc. By using an RMS to help identify their

most valuable guests, hoteliers can deploy strategies to make those

guests feel welcome and recognised, to inspire long-term loyalty

(and direct bookings!).

ELIMINATE PRICING ERRORS,

MAKE PROFIT FOCUSED DECISIONS

In general, a typical hotel will make roughly five million pricing decisions

every year. Yes, $5 MILLION. The sheer volume of data that

requires consolidation, analysis and action means it is not humanly

possible for any revenue manager to get every decision right, every

day. Powered by sophisticated revenue science to produce accurate

pricing decisions and inventory controls, an automated RMS is

critical in the age of big data. Forward-looking, predictive analytics

embedded in today’s RMSs help hoteliers uncover emerging trends

and identify more profitable opportunities earlier.

Maximising the guest experience while minimising operational

costs, including labour costs, is perhaps the Holy Grail for most

hoteliers. Accurate demand forecasting provided by an RMS can

greatly enhance a hotel’s labour scheduling and purchasing decisions.

Through integrating forecasts across a hotel’s operations,

hoteliers can use the forecast to inform their staffing decisions

and account for periods of higher or lower demand. Once demand

forecasting data is made available, staffing managers can

determine which areas are most affected by the number of guests

staying in the hotel. The number of occupants a hotel carries can

directly influence housekeeping needs, the number of staff needed

on the front desk to check guests in and out, the number of servers

required in restaurants and valets to park cars, etc.

Another factor to consider is food and beverage, a large source of

potential waste for hotels, especially when it comes to those items

with an expiration date. Knowing when there will be periods of high

and low demand, as well as from which segments will be the key

consumers of these perishable items, will help hoteliers ensure

they order the products at the right time and avoid costly spoilage.

Improve the value of your hotel

Increased revenue leads to higher cash flow, from giving the hotel

greater day-to-day liquidity, to having money in the bank generating

interest and leveraging return on capital. Driving brand value,

as well as competitor set performance are both key to asset assessment.

The additional revenue delivered by the proper use of an

RMS and strategies directly impacts a hotel’s bottom line, making

it an essential tool for increasing a hotel’s valuation—a keystone in

any owner or asset manager’s lens, in particular at a time of investment,

refinancing or sale.

The Fight for Purpose

Olivia Young is the essence of the

mindset to “Liv Young,” the name

she goes by as a motivational

figure. In 2009, she set out for

the Big Apple and had a dream,

a dream to create a company she

was passionate about. Her journey

began at culinary school then to

a global hospitality brand. Even

through long work hours, she woke

up every morning to workout no

matter what and chose self care

over “old boys club” meetings late

at night. Through her love for wellness,

Olivia realized a gap in the

fitness industry, a mixture of a

body and a mind workout, thus her

creation of Box + Flow-part boxing,

part yoga experience. Hear Olivia’s

words on her Fight for Purpose.

SWISS-BELHOTEL INTERNATIONAL

MAKES MALAYSIAN DEBUT

WITH LAUNCH OF KUANTAN

WATERFRONT PROPERTY

Swiss-Belhotel Kuantan, Malaysia –

façade Hong Kong – Swiss-Belhotel

International’s acclaimed success

story over more than three decades

has been marked by milestones – and

another has just occurred with the soft

opening of its first Malaysian property.

In Swiss-Belhotel Kuantan, the global

hospitality management chain offers a

remarkable four-star hotel on the East

Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, facing

the South China Sea, only 2km from

buzzing Kuantan, the capital of the

culturally rich Pahang state.

Located in the traditional fishing

village of Tanjung Lumpur, the

27-storey property has 366 rooms and

suites – all featuring modern amenities

for business and leisure travellers

such as LED TVs, free Wi-Fi and power

showers. The 86 Family Rooms create

opportunities for multi-generational

vacations, 16 suites offer additional

luxury and exclusivity.

Swiss-Belhotel Kuantan provides

an array of upscale leisure facilities

including a swimming pool, children’s

pool, Jacuzzi, fitness centre and “Water

Lounge”.

The Swiss-Cafe is a bright and vibrant

all-day restaurant, while the Lobby

Lounge is a chic and sophisticated

setting for drinks and light bites. Room

service is available 24 hours.

Adding to the property’s appeal

are 10 state-of-the-art Meeting

rooms including a Ballroom which

are suitable for all types of events –

from intimate strategy meetings and

training sessions to grand corporate

Conferences and Gala dinners.

Duty-Free shopping, Golf Course and a Waterpark

with a variety of Watersports adding to the appeal.

In short, KWRC is a game-changer for the region,

with Swiss-Belhotel Kuantan now the Hotel of

choice for business and leisure guests.

Further enhancing the property’s appeal will be

the one-hour travel time from Kuala Lumpur to

Kuantan once the ECRL ( East Coast Rail Link ) will

be completed. While the destination’s international

gateway, Sultan Ahmad Shah Airport, is just 25

minutes’ drive from the hotel and offers connections

to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Penang.

Mr. Gavin M. Faull, Swiss-Belhotel International

Chairman and President, said Malaysia had long

been on the Group’s radar given its appeal of one

of Southeast Asia’s most popular destinations. “So

the chance to plant our flag in such a culturally

dynamic country, delivering our award-winning

international standards, is very exciting and a key

element of our broader growth strategy in Malaysia

and globally,” he said.

“The fact that we are an integral part of such a

transformative development as KWRC makes our

entry into Malaysia even more special, and we plan

to unveil new properties in other key destinations

in the country including Kuala Lumpur and Melaka.”

Swiss-Belhotel Kuantan’s opening room rates range

from MYR 258 (net) for a Studio City View through

to MYR 392 (net) for a Family Room.

By the end of 2020, Swiss-Belhotel International

expects to increase its global portfolio to 250

properties, comprising some 25,000 rooms under 14

diverse brands spanning the hospitality spectrum –

from economy to luxury – in four continents.

LOUIS T COLLECTION

CORPORATE DIRECTOR OF FOOD & BEVERAGE

Feb 2020


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 31

LOUIS T COLLECTION APPOINTS CORPORATE

DIRECTOR OF FOOD & BEVERAGE TO DRIVE GREEN

INITIATIVES

ANSELM CUYPERS JOINS TEAM TO DEVELOP GROUP’S CULINARY

STRATEGY AND SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES

BANGKOK - Hospitality & building solutions group

Louis T Collection is going green on the food front

with the help of new corporate director of food &

beverage, Anselm Cuypers.

“As we move into a new

decade we’re implementing

a lot of changes in our

F&B departments,” said

Cuypers. “Our core focus is

on sustainability, developing

Louis T’s signature F&B

offering, and launching

wellness-focused YOUTH menus across

the properties.”

In this new role, Cuypers will focus on expanding

sustainability initiatives at the restaurants and bars

at Louis T Collection’s properties in Thailand, Taiwan,

and Australia.

Examples of the group’s next steps include forbidding

suppliers to deliver produce in single-use plastics,

reducing overall food wastage by coming up with

creative solutions to use food that may otherwise

be disposed of, and implementing procedures for

energy and water savings in the kitchens.

At Quay Perth they’re starting a program to donate

excess food to a local food bank.

The Belgium national brings a wealth of experience

from around Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

Cuypers’ most recent role was with Accor Thailand

in 2019, where he was director of food & beverage

for Novotel Hua Hin and Novotel Surin Beach and

was in charge of their 18 dining outlets. He held the

same role at H Hotel Dubai from 2017 - 2018 where

he managed operations of the property’s award

winning restaurants.

He also lived and worked in Dubai’s neighbor to the

west, Southern Sun Hotel Abu Dhabi, where he was

assistant director of food and beverage for a year.

Cuypers has held the positions of outlet manager,

restaurant manager, and bar manager since he

began his career over 15 years ago.

Quay Perth operates a popular rooftop bar &

restaurant called HQ that will become the group’s

signature venue under his direction.

“We want guests who are loyal to Louis T to know

they will find a great product for a great price across

all our hotels,” added Cuypers.

A number of our hotel

clients are cultivating

some pretty interesting

ways to help guests

stay in shape whether

traveling for business

or pleasure. We have

rounded-up a half-dozen

of these efforts below.

Buffing Up the Fitness Options in Asia

No matter how sublime the hotel fitness center, getting

down to business in gym togs can be a tall order when

you’re on the road, whether for business or pleasure.

That’s partly why a number of hotels from the Far East

to the Middle East are coming up with creative new

ways to incentivize the move from the chaise to the

gym.

SPA & WELLNESS


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 33

Animal Inspiration @ Fusion Maia Danang

Boxing for the Soul @ Banyan Tree Samui

Fusion’s novel Warrior Workout was designed in-house

at the all-spa-inclusive resort on Vietnam’s central coast.

The 60-minute class blends yoga, martial arts and animal

movement, for a heat building and spiritually aligned workout.

Each class is in sync with the resort’s Natural Living Program,

daily principles that cover a person’s wellbeing from getting

social to eating well. Sessions are named after their animal

inspiration with the seven day schedule running through a

range of creatures from Crouching Tiger to Dancing Dragon.

Swimming with the Greats @ Palace Hotel Tokyo

Palace Hotel Tokyo’s ‘Energizing Tokyo’ experience is one

way to get in the groove for when the world’s greatest athletes

arrive in the city this coming summer. The package includes

a number of optional health and wellness activities – such

as kayaking, cycling and running, as well as a private swim

lesson with former Japanese Olympic swimmer and Asian

Games medallist, Hanae Ito. During the one hour lesson in the

hotel’s pool, Hanae works with interested guests to perfect

their swimming techniques.

Bouncing off the Wall @ Chedi Muscat

Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, the fitness guru at

the Chedi Muscat lines four guests up against the wall, and

lets them have it for 50 minutes. The wall, a Kinesis Wall,

is a springboard to a whole body functional workout that

provides resistance in every direction. Tethered to the wall

by cables, participants lunge and jump, squat and skip their

way to greater strength, stability and flexibility. Gluttons for

punishment might bounce off the wall and into the hotel’s

103-meter Long Pool, the longest in Oman, for a few laps.

When in Thailand, do as the Thais. And that could certainly

be said for Thai boxing, the national sport and something of

a sporting obsession. It looks brutal, but Muay Thai, as it’s

known, is highly revered as an all-round routine for mind,

body and soul. Banyan Tree Samui’s gruelling 60-minute

classes on Tuesdays, Thursday and Sundays cater to all levels

of fitness and experience and are free for guests. Or you

can hire a private coach while you are at the resort, which

overlooks sapphire seas and a tranquil white-sand beach.

Thai boxing classes for kids (aged 5 -12) are also an option,

albeit a terrifying one.

Intimating with the Sunrise @ Paradise Cruises

Renowned for its meditative movements and health benefits,

tai chi is all the more special on Paradise Cruises due to

the breathtakingly beautiful backdrop of UNESCO World

Heritage-listed Halong Bay’s limestone karsts. Jutting out of

the emerald waters, the towering limestone karsts loom in

and out of focus as the vessel glides past them, during the

small, intimate sunrise tai chi class on the vessel’s sundeck

that starts at 6.30am and lasts for 30 minutes.

Ancient Philosophy @ Anam

Holidaymakers of all ages are kicking, foot sweeping and

wrestling their way to fitness as part of the Anam’s new inresort

vovinam classes. Based on the ancient Asian philosophy

of yin and yang, vovinam ranks as the largest and most

developed of Vietnam’s martial arts, and endeavours to align

body and mind through the art of self-defence. Tailored to

all fitness levels and abilities, the Anam’s vovinam classes are

led by resident vovinam master Huynh Trong Nghia, who has

practiced and taught vovinam for 20 years. The classes take

place on the five-star resort’s vast green lawn overlooking

Cam Ranh’s Long Beach each Monday and Wednesday for

adults and each Friday for children from 4.30pm – 5.30pm.

Australia’s favourite burger brand Grill’d

has just arrived in the heart of Seminyak.

And while it takes ample inspiration

from its Australian counterparts, the Bali

incarnation of the company has introduced

an array of Indonesian-inspired twists to

its menu, especially when it comes to its

drinks.

At the helm of the Grill’d bar is experienced

bartender Gogon. Born I Komang Anik

Adiputra, the East Bali native has spent

the past 20 years in the hospitality

industry, having first been introduced to

the mixology realm at the Alila Hotel in

Karangasem; “That was my first experience

in bartending where I realised by interest

to learn and improve myself within that

field,” he explains.

With a career spanning the likes of KU DE TA,

PotatoHead, and Bikini Bar among others,

Gogon has more recently joined the Grill’d

team. Constructing the drinks menu, he

took inspiration from the company’s food

philosophy; “When creating the cocktails,

the food concept of Grill’d inspired me a lot.

Grill’d uses fresh local ingredients and so

from that concept we make craft cocktails

by using ingredients that we source from

a local farm, this also makes it easier to

control the quality and consistency of the

product.”

Ingredients unique to the island, from

fruit to spices and herbs, have been

integrated into the cocktail list, including

local tonic jamu. “Butterfly Kisses is

my favourite,” says Gogon of the jamuinspired

tipple. “Inspired by our famous

healthy jamu drink, this is a three-layered

cocktail made from a selection of good

quality local herbs and spices, combined

with high-quality gin. We have infused

the gin with butterfly pea flower, which

has great health benefits, and mixed it

with a homemade turmeric cordial, one of

Indonesia’s most famous spices.”

Grill’d Bali is located at Jalan Kayu Jati no

3X, Petitenget Beach, Seminyak and will

be open daily from 10am – 2am.

About Grill’d: Established in Melbourne in

2004, Grill’d is one of the largest privatelyowned

restaurant groups in Australia. With

138 burger restaurants across Australia and

one in Bali, Grill’d employs more than 4,000

staff, and prides itself on working with

local suppliers to ensure the provenance,

quality and freshness of all its ingredients.

Over the years, Grill’d has been recognised

for its outstanding service and dedication

to excellence by winning awards such

as KPMG’s Top 10 Australian Brands in

Customer Experience Award and Roy

Morgan’s Australian Customer Satisfaction

Award for Quick Service Restaurant Of The

Year in 2018, and No. 1 Best Restaurant

Chain in Asia-Pacific by Conde Nest

Traveller in 2014. Additionally, each Grill’d

restaurant donates money back into their

local community each month. Through

this ‘Local Matters’ program, Grill’d has

donated more than $4.5 million to local

communities across Australia over the

past 15 years.

26th February 2020, VUNG TAU,

VIETNAM - Accor unveils the second

ibis Styles in Vietnam, bringing the

brand’s vibrancy to the heart of Vung

Overlooking Vung Tau’s long sandy

Back Beach, just a two-hour drive from

Ho Chi Minh City, the hotel shines

with stylish guest rooms offering a

comfortable base to explore the closest

beach destination from the economic

capital of the country.

“Vietnam is blessed with over 3,200

kilometres of coastline, including the

beautiful beaches of Vung Tau, located

just two hours from Ho Chi Minh City.

The opening of ibis Styles Vung Tau

offers an attractive coastal getaway

for guests looking to get out of the city

yet delivers on budget-friendly and

contemporary comforts,” said Patrick

Basset, Chief Operating Officer of

Accor, Upper Southeast & Northeast

Asia and the Maldives.

ibis Styles Vung Tau is the embodiment

of fun style and creative energy,

boasting a gallery of potential backdrops

for Instagrammers at every turn. The

design of the hotel is inspired by the

sea. Its clean and modern aesthetics are

enlivened with dynamic colour accents,

providing an alluring contrast to the

palette of tropical greens and blues

outside the oversized windows.

The hotel’s 250 guest rooms range

from the 24 sqm Standard Room to

the 46 sqm Premium Family sea view

room with balcony. Featuring cosy and

soothing design, the guest rooms offer

everything guests need for an enjoyable

stay, including the premium quality

Sweet Bed by ibis Styles and Wi-Fi

access.

The culinary hub of the hotel, StrEATs

restaurant, is designed similarly to

a street food concept featuring an

open kitchen and a spacious terrace

with various selections of Vietnamese

food and international cuisine. Ideally

suited to light bites and casual socials,

OnTheTop rooftop bar invites guests

to unwind with delicious drinks and

snacks befitting of the glittering Vung

relaxing swim, the 24-hour gym is

equipped with the latest cardio fitness

equipment and a range of free weights.

Families are well catered too at ibis

Styles Vung Tau. In addition to family

rooms which can host up to four guests,

there is also a Kid’s Club to ensure

an enjoyable seaside vacation for the

whole family.

The hotel’s proximity to Ho Chi Minh

City makes it a popular venue to host

seaside meetings and teambuilding

CATERING

Commercial kitchens often have a poor

reputation. Cafeteria food must be cheap.

The Nutrition Circle for Kitchen Professionals

advocates an appreciation of the processes

involved in the cultivation, production,

preparation and consumption of food in its

Charter for Community Catering.

“What we see today in some facilities

– unfortunately also in residential care

facilities – is a tragedy because people are

trying to save costs on food”, observed

Jasmin Peschke. She heads the Nutrition

Section of the Section for Agriculture at

the Goetheanum and has at doctorate in

ecotrophology. “Nutrition is more than

just something to eat”, she says. It is about

providing tasty and varied meals, highquality

food that is carefully prepared.

“THE QUALITY OF OUR FOOD DEPENDS ON

MANY FACTORS: THE SEEDS, THE SOIL,

THE CULTIVATION, THE TIME OF HARVEST,

STORAGE TIMES AND PROCESSING METHODS”,

SAYS JASMIN PESCHKE. THIS IS WHY

SHE HAS NOW BEEN JOINED BY ELEVEN

NUTRITION EXPERTS WITH EXPERIENCE IN

ANTHROPOSOPHICAL FIELDS OF WORK TO

MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT. WITH THEIR

CHARTER FOR COMMUNITY CATERING, THEY

ARE SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR HEALTHY

AND WHOLESOME ENJOYABLE NUTRITION –

PRECISELY BECAUSE DAY-TO-DAY COOKING IN

COMMERCIAL KITCHENS IS OFTEN STRESSFUL.

One of the first signatories of the charter

is Heinz Fendrich. The executive chef at

the Sonnenhof in Arlesheim, Switzerland,

points out that even the attitude and

mood that are cultivated during cooking

contribute to the quality of the food. This

is why he and other chefs and nutritionists

consider it important that cooks and their

kitchen assistants treat food with care and

also involve those eating the meal – this is

also important to prevent food from being

wasted. Ultimately, it is up to everyone to

ensure that meals are eaten regularly and

on a rhythmical basis. “This also includes

a relaxed and consciously designed

atmosphere when eating”, the charter states.

“A meal is a community process before,

during and after the activity in the kitchen”,

concludes Jasmin Peschke.

GHM PLANTS

CHEDI FLAG IN

THE MALDIVES

Kudavillingili Island promises ease

of access and inimitable luxury

product

SINGAPORE — GHM has announced plans to launch The Chedi

Kudavillingili, its first resort in the Maldives, later this year. The 99-villa

property will feature 36 overwater villas, a 150-metre-long central pool

and desirable proximity to the Malé International Airport, a 25-minute

speedboat ride away.

Located on a 1-kilometre coral island called Kudavillingili, The Chedi

Kudavillingili is shaped by a global team of design talents working

closely with the GHM team. Maldivian architecture anchors the resort’s

overarching aesthetic appeal, with complementary interior design and

landscaping from Singapore and a lighting scheme from the USA.

“Our plans for The Chedi Kudavillingili will showcase the enduring

beauty of the Maldives and its people, but we will also remain true to

GHM’s tenets of intuitive luxury, timeless designs, bespoke experiences

and quality service,” said Hans R. Jenni, GHM’s co-founder and

president.

Since its founding in 1992, GHM has taken the road less travelled into

destinations not so well known at the time, opening resorts such as

The Nam Hai in Vietnam, The Chedi Muscat in Oman and The Chedi

Andermatt in Switzerland. Each won renown for designs that embraced

local archetypes and were then enhanced by an alchemy of Asian

aesthetics and contemporary cool.

“I’ve always been impressed with GHM’s work – particularly with The

Chedi Muscat,” said Dr. P. Mohamed Ali, chairman of the MFAR Group,

the project’s owning company. “I’ve seen the kind of impact a GHM

resort can have on a destination, and I am looking forward to how GHM

will redefine the luxury resort experience in the

Maldives, just as they have done in Muscat.”

When GHM launches a new resort in a more

established destination, the team is mindful of the

brand ethos and the need to provide a singular

experience for its guests, not unlike what it has

been doing for other resorts in its portfolio.

“This new Chedi is to stand on the shoulders of

GHM’s reputation, one that has been defining and

redefining what’s chic for nearly three decades,”

said Jenni. “The Chedi Kudavillingili is to be the

best yet.”

GHM expects the majority of the resort’s guests

to come for the quiet, the placid waters and the

pristine sands, for sunset cruises, barbecue

dinners and fishing expeditions.

In addition to the 36 overwater villas, and 63 islandbased

villas, The Chedi Kudavillingili will launch

a spa with eight overwater treatment rooms, a

beach club and bar, an all-day dining restaurant

and Hawkers Stalls featuring four live cooking

stations. Recreational opportunities on the island

run the gamut from courts for several different

sports to surfing and a plethora of on-the-water

and underwater pursuits.

Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia, February 2020…

The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali takes great

pleasure to welcome Chef Davide Allievi to its

culinary team. He has arrived on the island direct

from a stint as Chef de Cuisine for the Michelin

Plate winning Limoni Italian Restaurant at The

Ritz Carlton Guangzhou, China. As a young and

contemporary Italian Chef, Davide is expected to

bring passion, energy and innovation to his new

role at the resort. He comes with an impressive

background and valuable Michelin Star kitchen

experience. Born and raised in Italy, Chef Davide

has a Culinary Arts Diploma from the Istituto

Paritario Professionale “Michele Pinto”. Upon

completing his studies, he embarked on a culinary

career and fine-tuned his skills with a succession

of jobs in Italy and London. Once armed with a

wealth of expertise as a Sous Chef and Pastry Chef,

he relocated to Beijing, China in 2016 where he

took charge of the daily operations for a gourmet

restaurant and bakery. Chef Davide then remained

CHEF

DAVIDE

ALLIEV

in the Chinese capital for a new challenge as the

Executive Chef of a unique concept restaurant

called Mojo. The venue quickly gained national

media attention from the likes of Cosmopolitan

and Vogue. This exposure also meant that Chef

Davide was noticed by luxury hotels in the

area, including Grand Hyatt Shenyang where

he accepted the position as Chef de Cuisine for

Il Forno Italian Restaurant. Now Chef Davide

finds himself on the island of Bali where he is

responsible for Prego, a Westin concept restaurant

that puts the fun back into Italian dining.

This family-friendly venue satisfies

appetites with its generous portions

of classic pasta dishes, regional

specialties and pizzas that represent

real value for money. Once he is

familiar with the availability of local

ingredients, Chef Davide is looking

forward to revitalizing the menu at

Prego and putting his own signature

on each dish.

He will also take the restaurant’s

Brunch Infinito to the next level

with lots of delicious dishes and live

cooking options.

“We are honored to have

a professional of Chef

Davide’s caliber take over

the culinary reins of Prego.

His youth and enthusiasm

will serve him well. As an

Italian national, he will

certainly appreciate Bali’s

traditional food culture

and family way of life that

is sadly lacking in many

parts of the world today,”

The 50new 44th | year Vol 29 | brings 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

a fresh

food direction to Seminyak’s KU

DE TA, as the iconic beachside

establishment welcomes a new

executive kitchen team

Seminyak, Bali favourite KU DE TA has

announced the arrival of a new executive

kitchen team, led by Executive Chef Jeremy

Hunt and Head Chef Warren Carney. The new

culinary lineup signals a fresh direction for

the quintessential Bali establishment.

Since joining the team, the pair have

introduced ample change to the two KU

DE TA restaurants – casual KU DE TA, and

fine dining Mejekawi. Inspired by and

reflective of the island’s seasonal produce

and laid-back tropical lifestyle, the new

menu directions encapsulate the food

philosophies the new chefs bring with them.

Both South African-born and classically

trained Cordon Bleu graduates, Jeremy and

Warren have established a distinct new

dining direction for the venue, focusing

on crisp flavours and classic techniques,

designed to be enjoyed while digesting the

spectacular ocean views.


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 51

KU DE TA

welcomes a new

executive kitchen team

Both chefs bring international flair and experience

to their new roles. Prior to joining KU DE TA, Executive

Chef Jeremy spent his childhood on a large-scale

family farm, where he developed a lifelong love

of fresh and seasonal produce. His career in the

kitchen has taken him around the world, from the

esteemed private club Ochre Point in Newport, USA

to the multi-award-winning North Island, a luxurious

private island in the Seychelles. Head chef Warren

also boasts an illustrious resume, having worked at

one of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, La Colombe,

as well as heading up the team at Madam Zingara

and Asoka.

The duo have already begun reinvigorating the

menus of both KU DE TA restaurants. “I’m big on

innovation,” explains Jeremy. “I enjoy sourcing

interesting ingredients and pairing them with

trending flavours.

I also like connecting with a wide range of palettes.

Because KU DE TA has such an international clientele,

I’ve ensured that there is something for everybody

on our menus. It’s imperative that we select premium

produce and deliver them at the highest level.”

Dishes won’t fall into a specific niche says Warren.

“[We focus on] creating menus and special dishes

that are consistently great and not necessarily

from a specific genre. The chef is the genre or

style. Respecting the ingredients and giving them

the care they are due, to accentuate what they

are and how you want the customer to perceive

them, with harmonious flavour, texture, colour

and presentation. [We’re] hoping to tickle all of

the senses while doing so, to create an experience

rather than a plate of food.”

hospitality company’s third hotel to operate under the Hilton

SUDAMALA RESORTS APPOINTS ESA

INTERNATIONAL TO CRAFT ITS LATEST AUTHENTIC

INDONESIAN BEACHFRONT RETREAT: SUDAMALA

SUITES & VILLAS, KOMODO

BALI-BASED ARCHITECTURE STUDIO TO CREATE BRAND NEW

LUXURY RETREAT IN LABUAN BAJO, FLORES, INSPIRED BY THE

NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE DESTINATION

February 2020 Bali, Indonesia –

Sudamala Resorts, the art-inspired

Indonesian boutique resort

company, has appointed awardwinning

architecture studio ESA

International to create its latest

barefoot beachfront retreat,

Sudamala Suites & Villas, Komodo,

Labuan Bajo.

Based in Bali, ESA International has

developed an exceptional portfolio

of projects in Indonesia, including

some of the archipelago’s most

distinctive hotels and resorts. The

company has worked with major

international luxury hotel brands

such as Four Seasons, Hyatt and

COMO Hotels & Resorts, and it also

conceived two other Sudamala

resorts: Sudamala Suites & Villas,

Sanur, which opened in 2011, and

Sudamala Suites & Villas, Lombok in

2013.

Scheduled to start welcoming guests

in Q2 2020, Sudamala Suites & Villas,

Komodo will blend seamlessly into

its stunning surroundings, on the

spectacular west coast of Flores,

East Nusa Tenggara. The resort’s

sensitive design will reflect the

classical architectural style of this

ancient region, with a concept

that showcases traditional building

techniques, local materials,

authentic art and natural fabrics.

Labuan Bajo is a former fishing

village that used to be visited by the

Bajo tribe, a seafaring group from

Sulawesi which finally settled in the

area and assimilated with the local

people.

Their influence can be discovered at

Sudamala Suites & Villas, Komodo,

which blends the native style of

village dwellings

with the dramatic thatched conical

roofs that are unique to this part of

Indonesia.

Facing the beach and blessed with

breathtaking views of the Labuan

Bajo Strait, the resort exudes a

deep sense of calm and freedom. It

respects local wisdom and captures

the spirit of the island, while helping

to preserve the environment. Native

trees have been preserved to

encourage wildlife, provide shade

and ensure a wonderfully tranquil

ambience.

The 68 suites and 16 villas reveals

rustic beach-chic interiors combined

with contemporary comforts and

modern technology. The Garden

Suites promise private balconies

overlooking the lush landscape,

while the Beachfront and Sea View

Suites command exceptional views

of the Labuan Bajo Strait, and the luxurious Private Pool

Villas provide expansive courtyards, alfresco pavilions

and inviting outdoor pools.

For more information about Sudamala Resorts, please

visit www.sudamalaresorts.com or email to info@

sudamalaresorts.com.

The restaurant allows guests to dine in nature, kissed

by the gentle sea breeze, while the serene Sudajiva Spa

features four double treatment rooms and a soothing

spa pool, and the fitness centre houses the latest

equipment. Alternatively, guests can plunge into the

seafront swimming pool,

explore the underwater world from Aqura Dive, which

has its own training pool, or simply slip off their shoes

and stroll along the soft sandy beach.

ESA International has won several high-profile awards,

including the “World’s Best Apartment” title at the

2012 International Property Awards in London. It also

received the 2016 IAI Bali Award for the Sudamala Suites

& Villas, Sanur.

“We are delighted to work with ESA

International once again to create

Sudamala Suites & Villas, Komodo, Labuan

Bajo – a one-of-a-kind resort that depicts

the charm and beauty of its destination.

We want to introduce internationalstandard

hospitality to Labuan Bajo,

while also promoting the region’s rich

cultural heritage. ESA’s expert team

of architects have embraced our vision

of creating the first true resort in the

region’s hottest destination, and we look

forward to presenting this outstanding

property to the world in 2020,” said Emily

Subrata, Director of Sudamala Resorts.

METROPOLE HANOI

AWARDED 5-STAR

RATING FROM FORBES

TRAVEL GUIDE

“Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is a supremely beautiful hotel,

inside and out. Every corner is a compelling photo opportunity,

especially in the gleaming historic wing and all-white inner

courtyard,” the Forbes Travel Guide noted in its inspector’s

highlights.

HANOI (Feb.2020) — Sofitel

Legend Metropole Hanoi has been

awarded a Five-Star rating—the

top level of recognition—from

Forbes Travel Guide in the

independent ratings agency’s

assessment of luxury hotels,

restaurants and spas in Vietnam.

“Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

is a supremely beautiful hotel,

inside and out. Every corner is a

compelling photo opportunity,

especially in the gleaming

historic wing and all-white inner

courtyard,” the Forbes Travel

Guide noted in its inspector’s

highlights.

Forbes Travel Guide, established

in 1958 (then called “Mobil Travel

Guide”), is the oldest travel guide

in the United States, and is the

creator of the original Five-Star

rating system for hotels. The

guide’s ratings are among the

most highly respected in the

hotel industry.

While the Metropole’s luxurious

accommodation and historic

facilities earned substantial praise

in the guide, the ratings place an

even greater emphasis on service,

meaning that the Metropole

distinguished itself primarily

through its warm, personalised

and attentive service both in the

hotel and in its award-winning

restaurants and spa.

“All of us here at the Metropole

understand that we’re the

caretakers of an incredible

historical hotel, and that the

service we provide must not only

be commensurate with the legacy

of this Grand Dame but must in

many ways exceed expectations,”

said General Manager William

Haandrikman. “This Five-Star

rating from Forbes affirms that

our team here is doing exactly

that.”

The Metropole Hanoi’s rich

history, including its Path of

History (and wartime bunker)

tour, also came in for praise

from Forbes Travel Guide, while

afternoon tea at Le Club Bar,

coffee at La Terrasse and cocktails

at Bamboo Bar were described as

experiences that have evolved

into “must-do Hanoi traditions.”

Moreover, Le Spa du Metropole

“is a sublime urban retreat…

ensconced in what feels more

like an elegant residence than a

wellness center,” the inspector’s

review added.

Forbes Travel Guide’s Five-Star

rating is meant to designate

“outstanding, often iconic

properties with virtually flawless

service and amazing facilities.”

In Vietnam, two hotels have

achieved Five-Star ratings and

three have earned Four-Star

ratings.

In order to complete their

evaluations, inspectors pay their

own way and stay anonymously

as typical guests for at least two

nights. Forbes Travel Guide bills

itself as the only independent,

global rating agency for luxury

hospitality, and says that only 20

percent of all hotels it rates earn

a Five-Star rating.

THE REVAMPED

KARMA BEACH IN

ULUWATU MAKES ITS

DEBUT

BALI’S FAVOURITE BEACHSIDE RESORT

INTRODUCES A STYLISH NEW LOOK AFTER AN

OPULENT RENOVATION

Bali is home to an abundant population of beach venues, with one

of its most adored being found at luxury resort Karma Kandara

in Uluwatu. Karma Beach is located by the iconic Uluwatu reef,

offering guests and day visitors the chance to wallow in the crystalclear

waters of the resort’s private beach, to the sound of chilled

beats with a cocktail in hand.

Karma Beach looks destined to cement its status as Bali’s best

beachside offering after debuting the major renovation of the

space on December 20. The venue has undergone an extensive

renovation courtesy of the efforts of lauded designer Tina

Kirschner, who has drastically redesigned the space to embrace a

more tropical feel.

“We’re keeping the typical Karma deconstructed beach

vibe but with a more modern, sexy twist,” she explains.

Karma Beach is now separated into two distinct offerings; Karma

Beach Dining, and Karma Beach Bar. The former has seen a seat

increase from 87 to 110 due to the addition of more decking,

bar seating, and large round communal dining offerings facing

the beach for bigger groups. Wet weather protection is now also

available, courtesy of a new thatched roof to protect diners when

weather is less than perfect.

Foodies will be pleased to note that a new pizza oven and

sushi bar has been introduced to the kitchen, joined by new

art deco furniture and lighting, and swing chairs. A revamped

bathroom has three new beach showers for guests eager to go

straight from beach to bar. A slew of new dining experiences

will also be available, including the resort’s famed bamboo

seafood barbecue.

The former pizza area at the back of the restaurant will be

transformed into the new bar and lounge zone. Intended

as a space to relax and enjoy some of the world’s best DJs,

the bar will be a haven for chilling out, boasting large swing

chairs overlooking the ocean and wooden stools paired with

a single large communal table, from where guests can indulge

in tropical libations from the famous Karma cocktail menu.

With organic shapes and recycled materials aplenty, the new

Karma Beach looks set to re-establish the Uluwatu favourite as

a must-visit for visitors to the Bukit Peninsula.

Indonesia International Furniture Expo

(IFEX) 2020

The association is always optimistic that our furniture industry

will continue to grow and increase its performance from

time to time,” explains Chairman of the Indonesia Furniture

Industry and Craft Association (HIMKI), Soenoto.

Pursuing the Opportunity to

Increase Indonesian Furniture

Competitiveness and Export Value

Jakarta, 19 December 2019 – The furniture industry

is still regarded as one of the main backbones for

the Indonesian economy. The industry absorbs a

huge amount of human resources and the number

is increasing from time to time. The data from the

Ministry of Industry shows an increase in furniture export

value. Last year, Indonesian furniture export valued was

recorded at US$1.69 billion. On average, the industry is

experiencing a growth of 4 per cent per annum.

He further says that the industry’s current growth reaches

5-6 per cent per year meanwhile, Vietnam’s growth has

reached 16 per cent per annum. Furniture industry stakeholders,

namely the industry players and the government,

need to work together more intensely to pursue the 10 per

cent deficit. Soenoto says the country’s industry players

can also work with players from other countries, such as

with China, to increase the competitiveness of Indonesian

furniture products.

In line with the above efforts, the country’s Capital

Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) is reportedly offering

investment opportunities in Indonesia to Guangdong

and Shandong businessmen. Hundreds of businessmen

from both provinces have stated their interest to invest

in Indonesia, particularly in Central Java. Soenoto says

Chinese investors can help increase Indonesian

The Indonesian furniture industry is projected to remain

growing considering the country has several advantages

such as the high number of human resources and abundant

raw material supply. To date, Indonesian forest land

reaches around 120 million hectares, of which 12 million

hectares are categorized as production forests. Indonesia is

also famous as the world’s largest rattan producer with 312

types of rattan that the industry can utilize.

To realize further growth, the country’s furniture industry

needs continuous innovations in terms of the design, the

technology, the marketing strategy, and the after-sales

service to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.

Region-wise, Indonesian furniture export is still lagging

behind Vietnam, which currently sits on 7th place. Globally,

the furniture export market is dominated by China followed

by Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United States.

“Our furniture industry still has many home works

that we need to solve before we can compete with

Malaysia and Vietnam. We do have many advantages

to support the industry’s growth but we are

still unable to maximize these advantages.

furniture industry, especially in the finishing sector.

“Partnering with Chinese businessmen is one of the ways

to accelerate our furniture industry’s growth. However,

we must keep our pivotal role in the industry from the

upstream sectors. Partnership with these businessmen can

unlock new opportunities to work with their international

business network,” says Soenoto.

The Opportunity to Increase Export

As the organization that houses Indonesian furniture

industry players, HIMKI regularly conducts events to promote

the industry’s growth to the local and international

public. One of HIMKI’s annual event is the Indonesia

International Furniture Expo (IFEX) that has been successful

in introducing and promoting Indonesian quality furniture

to the global audience. In March 2020, HIMKI is scheduled

to host this largest business-to-business (B2B) furniture

exhibition in Indonesia and the region. All these years, IFEX

has managed to provide the medium to grow the industry.

It attracts thousands of buyers and visitors and offers

a golden opportunity to local industry players to exhibit

their best products to these international audiences.


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 81

HIMKI was officially declared on May 31 2016 in Jakarta

and was later confirmed on July 28 2016 at the Ministry of

Industry and on the same day was approved by President

Joko Widodo at Istana Negara.

HIMKI was established based on similarity in the vision,

mission, and purposes among its members to collectively

support the country’s furniture and craft industry. The

organization is expected to become the institution that is

aspirational and accommodating with the spirit of equality

among its members.

About Dyandra Promosindo

Last year, IFEX managed to draw 12 thousand visitors and

recorded an on-the-spot transaction of US$370 million.

“IFEX has been recognized as the primary destination

to global furniture industry players wanting to

find quality products as well as business partners in

Indonesia. These international buyers and visitors are

key to the success of IFEX and the efforts to increase

our export value to the global market,” says Soenoto.

Besides promoting the growth of Indonesian furniture

industry, one of IFEX 2020 targets is to take advantage of

the US market that is left by China due to the trade war

between the two countries. In addition to Europe, the US

is one of the major export destinations for Indonesian furniture

products. Soenoto says Indonesia is not the only

country to target the US market. He, therefore, encourages

the country’s industry players to find the right strategy

to win the US market that was previously dominated by

Chinese products.

About HIMKI

HIMKI is the result of the merger of two previous organizations

in furniture and craft industry namely AMKRI and

ASMINDO. The merger was strongly supported by President

Joko Widodo to create a single entity that is strong and

huge that also serves as the government’s partner in supporting

the industry to encourage the competitiveness of

furniture and craft products in the domestic and international

markets.

Our burgers

We’re healthily obsessed with our

burgers and what goes in them. We

keep our standards high, no matter

what country we’re serving them in.

From pick to prep and cook to bite,

every step is considered and every

burger is made with love.

Our planet

We take responsibility for our footprint

and are always looking for

new ways we can do better by our

planet. In Bali our food waste is

composted, our glass bottles and

cans are recycled and our oil is recycled

into biodiesel. And that’s just

the beginning.

The Most Anticipated

Hotel and Resort Openings

in Asia in 2020

Banyan Tree Krabi

Singapore-based Banyan Tree Holdings Ltd, one of Asia’s

foremost luxury hotel groups, has announced plans

to open a new resort in Krabi in the second quarter of

2020. Currently under development in a serene location

on Tubkaek Beach, a scenic 45-minute drive from Krabi

Airport, Banyan Tree Krabi fronts powdery white sands

and the shallow-shelved coast of the Andaman Sea. The

new Thai resort will offer 72 pool suites and villas, among

them seven 2-bedroom options and one three-bedroom

villa. Facilities include all-day dining, a ballroom, a wedding

chapel, a beach club, a kids’ club, and a fitness center.

In keeping with Banyan Tree’s holistic branding, the resort

will also host a rainforest-themed spa.

Fusion Suites Vung Tau

Fusion’s newest hotel, Fusion Suites Vung Tau, is set to

open in January in southern Vietnam’s popular coastal

playground. The new 21-storey property features 171

well-appointed suites and apartments, a multitude of

dining options, a spa, yoga studio, and a rooftop infinity

pool. The property offers views of the ocean, and complements

the setting with playful interiors dressed in sea

green, ocean blue, and a wide range of ocean-inspired hues

in between. The same sense of whimsy informs the building’s

complex facade with pastel-coloured glass panels that

zig-zag upwards. For dining options the hotel has the Fresh

restaurant (open all-day), a rooftop bar, and market stalls in

the lobby. The property’s 12 treatment room spa is inspired

by the sea and features signature therapies based around salt.

Conveniently located in the heart of Vung Tau, the hotel is just

a short trip by boat or road from Ho Chi Minh City.

Tanah Gajah, a resort by Hadiprana

On January 1, 2020, The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah in Ubud

will return to its roots as it becomes Tanah Gajah, a resort

by Hadiprana and the flagship property of a new hospitality

group Hadiprana Hospitality. The property was first built

in the 1980s as a holiday home for legendary Indonesian

architect and designer, Hendra Hadiprana, and his family. The

family retreat was then transformed into an idyllic resort set

among the rice paddies of Ubud under GHM’s management.

Intimate, yet spacious, the five-hectare property features

twenty art-filled accommodation options, ranging from one

bedroom suites with open air bathrooms and lotus pond

views, to a one-of-a-kind two bedroom estate with a private


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 89

pool. The Restaurant is set to reopen as The Tempayan,

named for the large traditional earthenware jars that

decorate the heart of the dining destination amid the rice

paddies. A new tapas lounge, Panen Padi, will open in a

prime location with a view of tranquil swan ponds on one

side and lush fields unfolding on the other. The ceiling of

the restored building will be adorned with a traditional

Balinese painting that shares Hendra Hadiprana’s life story.

Hadiprana’s original presence is felt at the property, with

a myriad of sculptures, antiques, and artwork that the collector

picked up over the years adorning all corners of the

site. Plans are also in motion for expanding on the array of

authentic experiences on offer to guests.

Ancient Hue

When people refer to a room being “fit for a king”, they are

usually talking figuratively. Not so in the case of Ancient

Hue, a luxury boutique complex of authentic nha ruong

(garden homes) about to be unveiled in Hue, Vietnam’s

former royal capital. The five ancient royal houses at the

resort were originally used as dwellings for members of

the extended imperial families: relatives of the emperors

who used to preside over the nation. Beautifully restored

by skilled Vietnamese artisans, the garden homes feature

Azerai Ke Ga Bay

The luxurious and secluded oceanfront retreat Azerai Ke

Ga Bay is set to open on Apr. 1, 2020 as the third property

in Vietnam in Azerai Resorts’ growing portfolio. The

55-room resort, which will succeed Princess D’Annam

Resort & Spa on the same site following a six-month

renovation, is located 180km east of Saigon on a sweeping,

five-kilometer white sand beach on the South China

Sea. Framed to the north by Hon Ba Island, with its historic

1899-built colonial French lighthouse, and to the

south by soaring sand dunes, the property cultivates

one of the most naturally splendid oceanfront settings

in the country. The guest rooms, suites and villas evoke

a contemporary aesthetic defined by elegant and simple

design, with many units boasting either plunge pools or

more spacious private pools.

Azerai Ke Ga Bay marks the brand’s first beach resort,

and follows Azerai La Residence, Hue, a historic city hotel

overlooking the Perfume River in Vietnam’s former imperial

capital, and Azerai Can Tho, a tropical retreat set on a

peaceful islet in the Mekong Delta. Azerai was formed by

hotelier Adrian Zecha.

an exquisite fusion of traditional charm and contemporary

luxury. Ancient Hue is owned and was conceived by Trails

of Indochina, one of Southeast Asia’s leading boutique tour

operators. Indeed, the property is a passion project for Trails

of Indochina founder John Tue Nguyen, who is originally

from Hue. “Ancient Hue is a way for me to leave some kind

of legacy,” he says. “Hue is like nowhere else in Vietnam. The

original charm is intact. With Ancient Hue we are trying to

ensure that the city’s heritage and character is preserved.”

Azerai Can Tho Introduces

4- and 6-Day Healthy Yoga

Retreat Packages

CAN THO, Vietnam (Feb. 18, 2020) — Yoga fans

and wellness enthusiasts will learn to master

essential poses while calming their minds and

re-energizing their bodies with new, multiple-day

healthy yoga retreat packages at Azerai Can Tho.

The retreats are for experienced practitioners

and newcomers alike, and include 6 day/5 night

(“Ultimate Yoga Retreat”) and 4 day/3 night

(“Essential Yoga Getaway”) options. All retreats

feature twice-daily yoga sessions, daily spa

treatments and specially designed healthy “yogic

menus” for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Located

on a private islet on the Hau River in Vietnam’s

Mekong Delta and accessible only by boat, Azerai

Can Tho offers a peaceful natural setting for the

retreats, with a breezy outdoor yoga pavilion

overlooking mature banyan trees and lush

greenery. The resort is secluded but close to the

city of Can Tho.

“Azerai Can Tho is a popular destination for

wellness holidays, and these new yoga retreats

allow guests to embrace the natural splendor

of our surroundings in an active, immersive and

completely rejuvenating new way,” said General

Manager Vuko Kralj.

All retreats begin with a wellness consultation

and introductory yoga session on the first

evening, followed by a healthy dinner at the

resort’s Cafe.

Mornings typically begin with a special detox

tea made with turmeric, ginger, lemongrass and

orange peel (and optional lime juice and honey).

Then it’s time for the first of the day’s two yoga

sessions: a 60-minute dynamic hatha yoga and

static asanas session.

During their stay, guests will have one breakfast

served on board the resort’s luxury boat, as

they take in the sights and smells of the Nine

Dragon River Delta. All meals served as part of

the healthy yoga retreats feature detailed calorie

counts and dietary highlights, with most dishes

including vegetarian, gluten-free, egg-free and

dairy-free options.

Each afternoon, guests will experience a different

spa treatment, such as traditional Vietnamese

oil therapy or a harmonious facial treatment,

at The Azerai Spa, in addition to steam and

sauna sessions to detoxify the body and relax

the muscles. An evening 60-minute hatha yoga

session caps each day before another healthy

dinner at the Cafe.

Also included in the retreats are pranayama

breathing practice, meditation sessions, a live

cooking session, and herbal teas and snacks,

including nourishing natural juices such as

“Immune Booster,” made with spinach, celery,

lemon, ginger and apple, and “Glowing Skin,”

which features beetroot, orange, apple,

cucumber and celery.

Healthy yoga packages are priced

at 65,850,000 VND ($2,833 USD) for

the “Ultimate Yoga Retreat” and

38,500,000 VND ($1,656 USD) for the

“Essential Yoga Getaway.” For

A new restaurant,

new experiences,

and a renewed focus

on art anchor the

rebranded resort

BALI, Indonesia (Jan. 9, 2020) - This month after nearly

two decades under management by GHM, the once

private family estate of noted Indonesian architect

Hendra Hadiprana is returning to its roots and

relaunching as Tanah Gajah, a resort by Hadiprana. The

idyllic 20-key property, set amid the rice paddies in

Bali’s spiritual heart of Ubud, will be the flagship resort

of a new group, Hadiprana Hospitality.

More than a name change is underway at this Leading

Hotel of the World. The resort is launching a new tapas

lounge with one-of-a-kind Balinese artwork carved into

the ceiling. Its extensive art collection is expanding


98

44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 99

with new purpose-built installations. And the resort

is building more bridges into the depths of Bali,

including an off-the-beaten path trek that carries

guests to another Hadiprana estate.

Tanah Gajah was built in the 1980s as a holiday home

for the legendary designer and transformed into a

resort in 2004 when Hadiprana’s imagination conjured

the possibility of another estate nearby. Though he

relocated his family from the five-hectare property,

his art collection remained and continued to evolve

as he added myriad sculptures, antiques, and artwork

from his travels.

As the resort comes back into the family, the founder,

who passed in 2018, will be the inspiration for the

art rather than the connoisseur who supplied it. The


100 44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

ceiling of the restored Huiyam villa,

that was the estate’s first building, is

now adorned with a traditional Balinese

painting that shares Hendra Hadiprana’s

life story with guests who glance

upwards. Huiyam is also the location of a

new tapas outlet, Panen Padi Lounge. The

resort’s second dining option commands

a prime location with views of a tranquil

swan pond to one side and lush rice

paddies on the other.

“Hendra Hadiprana defined Indonesian

luxury hotel design as we know it today,”

102 44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 103

said Tanah Gajah’s GM Deasy Swandarini. “He was the man behind

several upscale hotels and resorts across Indonesia. Although

it was at Tanah Gajah, his home, where he really groomed his

passion for design, and where we plan to continue his story.”

Reverence for local art is a core pillar of the newly rebranded

property. The Bird Lounge --first built in 1993 and dedicated to

Bali’s Birds of Paradise -- has been refurbished and complemented

by a new dynamic artwork installation of a menagerie of birds.

Delving into what is truly local and sharing that with guests is one

of the group’s core visions. Soon visitors will venture away from

the area’s well-trodden rice paddies and make their way through

family-owned fields and terraced landscapes all the way to Bumi

Duadari, Hadiprana’s other estate on the edge of the Petanu River.

Guests are assigned a personal butler who will lead them on this

hour-long trek through the countryside, that includes a break at

Duadari.


104 44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 105

Duadari is set to undergo a renovation at a later date to bring its

rooms into the portfolio of options that can be booked through

TANAH GAJAH. THIS CLOSER RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE

TWO HADIPRANA SITES WILL ALLOW GUESTS TO EXPERIENCE

THE CONTRASTING SIDES OF UBUD: VALLEY & JUNGLE AND

RICE PADDIES & GARDENS.


106 44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com


44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com 107

Tanah Gajah’s local roots will be strengthened with the renaming of key sites on the

property to reflect its origin. The Restaurant is now The Tempayan, named for the large

traditional earthenware jars that decorate the heart of the restaurant.

returning to the place where

you first began,” added

Swandarini. “With the change

we’re honouring where we

came from and using that as

inspiration to fine tune what’s

in place and expand on what

works to create something

truly extraordinary.”

FHA-HORECA TAKES

A DEEP DIVE INTO

HOSPITALITY

EXPERIENTIAL

TRENDS IN ASIA

Singapore, In the latest FHA Insider

Special report ‘Experiential trends

in hospitality: Behind the scenes’

published by FHA-HoReCa, Asia’s

most comprehensive industry event

for hospitality and foodservice supplies,

industry experts shared their

insights on what makes for a successful

hospitality experience. With

the expected growth of the global

luxury travel market by US$2.5

trillion in the next five years and

increasing demand for more personalisation

and experiences among

travellers, Asian hospitality industry

players have the opportunity to

offer unique concepts and enhanced

services to grow their markets.

The report highlighted the growing

importance of storytelling and how

authentic and creatively crafted stories

can contribute significantly to

the success of a F&B or hospitality

establishment. It also delved into

the growing number of millennial

travellers and their influence on the

hospitality industry.

Serving up authenticity and

memorable experiences

Noting that just serving a delicious

meal is no longer the end of an experience,

Ben Gregoire, Vice-President

of CKP Hospitality Consultants,

explained that, “Good hospitality

is all about providing memorable

experiences for guests. Today’s consumers

are more discerning than

ever.” Gregoire added that establishments

must consider every single

aspect of the guest experience —

from the initial contact point to the

moment they leave.

Agreeing, Anurag Bali, Assistant

Vice-President, Food and Beverage,

South East Asia & Australasia of

the Shangri-La Group added, “It’s

all about the guest experience and

well-established, well-run concepts

— a strong story.” Pointing out the

dining trends now making “a strong

story” across the region, Bali shared

that restaurants and eateries that

incorporate other elements such

as décor or music, in addition to a

strong menu, are also attracting

diners in Asia.

Establishments that tell a good story

through a combination of elements

such as décor or lighting are what

currently attracts guests in Asia.

fhahoreca.com

Indeed, with consumers more welltravelled

and knowledgeable about

the flavours of different food or the

origins of certain ingredients, restaurants

striving for authenticity

will focus more on their food stories.

According to Nicole Fall, Founder

of Asian Consumer Intelligence

and Head of Trends at Capchavate,

this trend has resulted in “a virtuous

cycle of restaurants upping

their game attempting to recreate

dishes as authentically as possible,

whereas in the past, there was

more emphasis on localisation or

changing particular flavours and

ingredients to suit local palates.”

Using technology to engage

Technology is also a great enabler as

F&B operators can now use digital

tools to further enhance the customer

experience. Eric Chia, CEO of

cloud-based loyalty software provider

Advocado noted that “

while many hospitality service

providers are focusing on the operations

(efficiency and productivity)

side of the business, we see a great

opportunity to use technology to

grow, nurture prospective customers,

and eventually turn them to

loyal fans.” Chia pointed out that

capturing consumer loyalty in the

current digital age is becoming

difficult as well. He advised business

owners who want to achieve

“maximum bang for their consumer

acquisition buck” to adopt innovative

ways to capture and grow their

customer base.

Growing the generational

markets

While millennials are the fastest

growing segment in the luxury

travel market, the hospitality industry

should also look at catering

to the different age groups such

as the baby boomers. This latest

trend would be an opportunity for

the industry to create services that

would promote more inclusivity

among diverse age groups.

“In the Asian region, for example,

generational family holidays are

nothing new,” said Asian Consumer

Intelligence’s Fall. “What is new

is the recognition that different

ages have different needs. Yet until

relatively recently, families were

lumped into the same category

whether the member was grandma

or the toddler.”

Asian Consumer Intelligence predicted

that more emphasis will be

placed on families’ distinctive needs

without falling into the stereotypical

tropes in the future. Consumers,

regardless of age group, would

be looking for seamless experiences,

both ‘in real life’ and online.

Samui

Restaurant

Reopens with

Fiery New

Menu

Cooking by wok is just one of the

eight fire-based techniques at Sands.

KOH SAMUI,

Thailand — If

you smell something

sizzling

down in southeastern

Koh

Samui these

days, chances

are it’s coming

from Banyan

Tree Samui’s beachfront restaurant,

Sands, where Chef Rainer

Roersch is rolling out his smoking

hot “8-Fires” cuisine.

BEACHFRONT DINING INCLUDES

EVERYTHING FROM BARBECUES

AND BRICK OVENS TO WOK FIRES

AND FLAMBÉS.

“We were looking for a

very visual and atmospheric

theme,” said Chef

Rainer. “Something eyecatching

that our chefs

could prepare under the

coconut trees and the

moonlight. The key element

would be fire.”

The new-look Sands restaurant — which recently reopened

after a three-month renovation that includes a

new retractable roof — has been adapted to include

eight workstations featuring different traditional forms

of cooking with fire - brick oven, charcoal grill, wok fire,

stove-top, table-burner, hot stone, Santa Maria grill, and

flambé.


136 44th | Vol 29 | 2020 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

“There is something mesmerizing about food sizzling over

an open fire,” said Chef Rainer. “From the native American

concept of the sacred fire pit (bara-bicu) to Japanese hibachi,

meaning ‘fire bowl’, to Indonesian satay and Middle

Eastern shish kebabs, it has a global appeal and has existed

since time immemorial.”

Sands’ new menu has been beefed up to include a selection

of meats and seafood adaptable to the 8-Fire techniques.

Diners have a choice of Australian Wagyu beef and Black

Angus steaks, lamb cutlets, BBQ pork ribs, chicken breast

or veal cutlets. Fresh local seafood choices include lobster,

jumbo prawns, scallops and squid, as well as imported

Norwegian salmon and Australian barramundi.

“We can really showcase the true aromas and flavors of seafood

and prime cuts by using smoke, flaming liqueurs and

truffle spray,” said Chef Rainer. “And of course, the tableside

presentation is spectacular. It’s fun for all the family with the

sizzling fires in all directions, but it can also be a romantic

evening for two with sea breezes, soft sand and fine wine.”

From the chef’s garden come the ingredients for vegetarian

options including risottos, pizzas and casseroles, fresh

salads, and pasta dishes such as pumpkin gnocchi. And

among the many mouthwatering starters on the new menu

are tuna tartar, pan-fried foie gras, beef carpaccio, Louisiana

crab cakes (in green mango salad) and the overwhelming

“Seafood Symphony for 2”.

Sands Restaurant overlooks the sapphire sea of the Gulf of

Thailand from a secluded cove flanked by coral reefs. It is

one of three signature dining venues at the award-winning

Banyan Tree Samui resort, which is recognized as one of the

leading hotels in Asia. The 38-acre property is nestled on a

steep hillside and hosts 88 luxury villas, each with its own

private infinity pool.

Sands seats 60 diners indoors and up to 42 on the open

terrace. The restaurant is open to Banyan Tree guests and

non-guests alike from 11:30am to 11pm, seven days a week.

Reservations are recommended.

Villas at Banyan Tree Samui, each with infinity pool, start

from US$550 per night.
