Harsha L’Acqua has been named Member of the 2021 Advisory Board at Condé Nast Traveler

Harsha L'Acqua spent most of her early career working in marketing and as front of house at hotels in cities including Bangkok, London, Singapore, and New York. But on a trip with friends to Cambodia, she stumbled on a hotel school in Siem Reap that trained local women for housekeeping positions, which sparked an idea. Shortly after, she quit her day job, enrolled at Cornell, and started hashing out plans for Saira Hospitality, a pop-up training center to connect locals with skills and employment at soon-to-open resorts, for everything from traditional food and beverage roles to working in a hotel's stable. Hotel San Cristobal in Todos Santos, Mexico, Four Seasons Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, and Habitas Namibia have all benefited from Saira's 2- to 10-week training programs. Now, the company is looking at mixing in permanent sites, like the one announced at The Monastery hotel in West Virginia earlier this year.

Ace Hotel Brooklyn set for Spring 2021 opening

Atelier Ace has revealed late Spring 2021 as the opening date for Ace Hotel Brooklyn. Designed from the ground up in partnership with Stonehill Taylor, who completed the architecture of the building and Roman and Williams, who shaped both the facade of the building as the interiors, the 287-room hotel will add a singularly new chapter to Ace's romance with New York City. Located in Boerum Hill on the cusp of Downtown Brooklyn, the property stands above the ever-evolving intersection of a geographical Venn diagram of energies, from the tree-lined streets and brownstones of Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens to the art and culture clusters of Fort Greene, and all the way down to the restless East River.
