All-New Cretan Malia Park joins Design Hotels

Far removed from the identikit beach hotels that dot Crete's coastline, Cretan Malia Park is a flora-filled retreat that augments classic Aegean hospitality with a focus on refined luxury and slow-paced living. Owned by the Sbokos family since it opened in the 1980s, the 204-room hotel has recently undergone an extensive renovation program led by Greek architect Vana Pernari, resulting in a unique aesthetic inspired by the colors and textures of the island. Key to the hotel's identity is its commitment to sustainability — a crucial philosophy that informs all aspects of the design and operations. Factor in a fresh, Mediterranean kitchen inspired by Crete's culinary traditions, an organic wellness program that allows guests to commune with the spectacular surroundings, and exquisitely landscaped botanical gardens leading to the sparkling Aegean Sea, and you have a whole new spin on carefree Cretan luxury.

Steigenberger Grandhotel & Spa Petersberg shines in new splendour after complete renovation

The reopening of a myth with a fascinating history: celebrities from politics, business and society were present when the "Gästehaus Petersberg" near Bonn reopened its doors on Monday. In his address to 600 invited guests, Heiko Maas, Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs, underlined the historical significance of the location. Over the past three decades, hundreds of heads of state have visited the Petersberg: Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, and the  Dalai Lama.  The name 'Petersberg' stands for a German diplomacy that does not duck away from international responsibility. So it's no wonder that Petersberg has become an eponym time and again - and that it is the setting of the yearly Petersberg Climate Dialogue, a future-oriented topic that moves people in Germany and Europe like no other. Now a new chapter in the history of this place is opening.

Doors re-open at Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese

Five star hotel Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese has re-opened following a complete redesign by French architect and interior designer, Jean-Philippe Nuel. Situated in a former 19th century Roman palazzo, Nuel has taken inspiration from the building's original architecture as well as the landscaped gardens of the adjacent Villa Borghese to bring a fresh look with a nature-inspired colour palette for the city retreat. The 78-room hotel lies on a quaint street in the centre of the city, just moments from iconic landmarks including the Villa Medici, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. Edoardo Giuntoli, the hotel's General Manager says, "In a city which is home to some of Europe's most exciting historical buildings, it was essential for the new design to subtly incorporate Rome's rich history along with Sofitel's French elegance. What we've created is a chic fusion of the Italian La Dolce Vita heritage with modern French Art de Vivre." Each of the guest rooms features a Baroque-inspired ceiling that creates the illusion of a blue sky above as well as a signature Sofitel MyBed* bed and marble bathroom complete with Hermès toiletries. The hotel's Prestige Suites, some with private terraces, offer luxury amenities including leather key card holders, a choice of room fragrance and monogrammed pillowcases. Suite guests can also enjoy bespoke experiences, from touring Europe's oldest apothecary to vintage Vespa rides to well-known movie locations.
