Checking out the latest hotel and resort news from fresh renovations to brand new or upcoming properties to entice your clients.
Tivoli Portopiccolo Sistiana Wellness Resort & Spa is now open on the Gulf of Trieste in northern Italy, marking Tivoli Hotels & Resorts’ expansion into Italy.
Set in the Duino Cliffs Nature Reserve, the property is situated in the mixed-use development of Portopiccolo, with its private beach overlooking turquoise waters alongside neighbouring restaurants and bars, shops, and a luxury marina that provides access to Italy’s iconic ocean adventures.
The resort boasts 58 luxuriously furnished guest rooms, including 20 suites, with an elegant design and stunning views of the marina and the sea, in addition to 30 branded apartments. The leisure facilities include six swimming pools, with one just for adults, the Purobeach Portopiccolo area and the Green beach, where families can relax on the splendid lawns overlooking both the sea and a pool, while perfectly poised to admire the beautiful sunset over the water.
The new hotel features two partnerships: Purobeach Portopiccolo, the beach club that brings the Mediterranean lifestyle to the unspoiled coast of the North Adriatic, and Terme di Saturnia, a well-known Tuscan wellness brand that will operate the spa.
Marriott Hotels has relaunched Marriott Cancun as its first all-inclusive resort. The beachfront escape in the Hotel Zone features 450 newly redesigned guestrooms, including 124 premium ocean view rooms and 38 suites with balconies overlooking the region’s azure waters.
For those seeking ultimate indulgence, the two Presidential Suites epitomize luxury, featuring a large balcony that overlook Cancun’s pristine beaches to the east and a beautiful terrace overlooking the Nichupte Lagoon — a prime spot to take in sunsets — to the west. Each room showcases contemporary decor, well-appointed bathrooms, and daily replenished mini bars.
There are 13 diverse dining options including everything from Mexican cuisine and innovative Japanese dishes to poolside pizzerias and refreshing ceviche.
Alexander Hotel, a new boutique hotel in the iconic Torre Virreyes skyscraper, is now open.
