Checking out the latest hotel and resort news from fresh renovations to brand new or upcoming properties to entice your clients.
Antigua’s Curtain Bluff reopened for its 62nd season at the end of October after being closed since the end of May 2023 for a multimillion dollar refurbishment. The hotel’s two Hulford Collection Suites, Morris & Grace Bay Pool Suites and a selection of Junior Suites have been completely refurbished.
The adults-only newly expanded Wellness Area at Curtain Bluff has doubled in size with the addition of a standalone yoga pavilion and a newly built infinity pool and jacuzzi along the waterfront.
The hotel has plans to extend further for their summer 2024 season with additional room enhancements, among other design improvements, with an additional £1.6 million investment.
La Festa Phu Quoc
La Festa Phu Quoc, Curio Collection by Hilton is set to debut this month on the western coast of Phu Quoc, Vietnam. The Amalfi Coast-inspired hotel overlooks a private beach and features two pools and four restaurants and lounges. The 197-room hotel will also have a modern fitness centre for guests seeking a holistic wellness experience.
Boston-bound clients can check into the 1,060-room historic Hilton Boston Park Plaza. Most recently known as the Boston Park Plaza, the hotel has rejoined the Hilton Hotels & Resorts portfolio. The hotel features contemporary and pet-friendly guest rooms and suites, two restaurants, a variety of amenities and 70,000 square feet of meetings and event space. Located four miles from Boston Logan Airport, Hilton Boston Park Plaza is one block from Boston Common and steps away from Boston Public Garden and the Theatre District.
The luxurious The Singapore EDITION is now open, marking the brand’s debut in Southeast Asia. The 204-room hotel is located just off the west end of Singapore’s upper Orchard Road, a former country lane lined with fruit orchards and pepper and nutmeg plantations that has been transformed into a stretch of restaurants and fashion and lifestyle brands. Nature is at the core of the design, with greenery integrated throughout, including a skypark and lush sunken garden that offers a tranquil escape from Singapore’s bustling shopping district.
