Not-To-Be-Missed Packages For 2009

Edinburgh, Scotland – Connoisseurs Scotland, a distinguished collection of 23 Scottish luxury properties, has announced enticing spa deals and news from four of its world-renowned hotels: The Gleneagles Hotel; The Marcliffe Hotel & Spa; Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa; and Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa.

Each of these upscale resort spas follow their own unique treatment ideology to soothe the body, mind and spirit – as well as offer state-of-the-art exercise facilities, world-class golf courses, stunning grounds and scenic surroundings, and gourmet dining to provide a well-rounded experience.

The Gleneagles Hotel, referred to by newspapers as “the eighth wonder of the world” when it opened in 1924, has announced a new Spa Essence Package for May through September.

The package includes accommodations in a Classic Room, full Scottish breakfast, table d’hôte dinner, 55-minute spa treatment and full use of the club’s leisure facilities; price is from £555 ($730*) per room, per night, valid Sunday-Thursday.

Situated on 850 acres of rolling countryside in Scotland’s heartland, the Spa by ESPA combines modern techniques with ancient therapies for a holistic approach to its treatments, and has been named by Condé Nast Traveler as 2009 Favorite Scottish Hotel Spa.

The hotel and spa’s amenities are modern and extensive, including crystal steam rooms, tropical showers, chilling ice rubs and a two Michelin-starred restaurant, Andrew Fairlie – serving French cuisine with a Scottish twist – famous for its signature dish of smoked lobster.

The Marcliffe Hotel & Spa, an elegant 5-star hotel set on 11 acres of beautiful wooded grounds in Aberdeen, has two compelling – and easy to combine – discounts.

Its Sunday Suite offer comes with a full a la carte menu, bed and breakfast in a junior suite, and a bottle of Pommery Champagne upon arrival, priced at £325 ($478*) for two people sharing, inclusive of VAT and service charges. On the Monday morning, guests are invited to take advantage of the “Spa Offer,” a 20% price reduction on all treatments every Monday and Tuesday.

With multiple treatment rooms and extensive services ranging from manicures and pedicures to the Baleno Therapy Room – a hydrotherapy bath relieving muscular tension and arthritis, unique to Scotland – there is a choice to fit every need.

For those seeking local sightseeing and other activities, the Marcliffe is minutes from Aberdeen’s city center, dozens of golf courses including the Royal Aberdeen Golf Club, established in 1780, 50 castles and 30 malt whiskey distilleries.

Overlooking the sea in northern Scotland is the Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa. Their Kohler Water Spa, whose health and relaxation treatments are based on the healing properties of the earth’s mineral-rich waters, takes pride in announcing the recent addition of Sara Maciver as Spa Director.

Sara plans to use her 22 years of experience – at prestigious establishments including One&Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas, Atlantis Spa on Paradise Island and Westin Resort and Villas in the U.S. Virgin Islands – to introduce innovative signature services.

Managing director Debbie Taylor believes Sara’s “extensive knowledge and infectious enthusiasm are set to take the spa to new levels of success.”

Kohler Spa is currently offering the 24-hour Spa Escape, which includes a one-night stay, full Scottish breakfast, 25-minute Kohler Massage, 25-minute Burst of Radiance Facial, a two-course spa lunch and unlimited use of the Kohler Waters Spa facilities; cost is £300 ($441*) per room, per night.

In Edinburgh, the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa would never be mistaken for a hotel chain; its stunning design – a translucent six-story, colored glass building – and the amenities of its ONE SPA health and fitness complex give it the cachet to match any other five-star establishment.

And it is now one of only five spas in Scotland to offer the new Super Active treatment from ESPA.
The 80-minute treatment, using ESPA’s scientifically formulated products, is tailored specifically to each client’s skin’s needs; calming and soothing while repairing and restoring skin – including aging, dehydration and environmental stress – and costs £120 ($177*).

This new treatment joins 17 other treatment offerings as well as a state-of-the-art gym, 19-meter pool, Finnish sauna, thermal suites and hydrotherapy pools.

Located within Scotland’s bustling capital city of Edinburgh, the Sheraton is perfectly placed for those seeking entertainment or a glimpse of Scottish culture – from world-class galleries and museums to charming restaurants and lively bars.

Connoisseurs Scotland represents the most exclusive luxury hotels in Scotland.

Their 23 members include four of the world’s finest golf resorts including Gleneagles and Old Course, Inverlochy Castle – recently voted the best hotel in Europe, six outstanding city centre properties, Edinburgh’s only 5 Red Star hotel, a 19th-century castle health spa, a collection of intimate country house hotels, the Royal Scotsman luxury train, two exclusive use properties and three properties set in scenic coastal locations.

For The 2009 Summer Season

Award-winning Grace Hotels adds two luxury boutique hotels to its collection: Kefalonia Grace and Ithaki Grace

Grace Hotels Group (www.gracehotelsgroup.com) has added two more hotels to its luxury boutique collection following the signing of a management agreement with the privately owned Tsimaras Hotels Group.

Both hotels are in the Ionian Islands off the west coast of Greece. The 63 room Emelisse Hotel lies on the northern coast of Kefalonia in the famous fishing village of Fiskardo and is now known as the Kefalonia Grace – Emelisse. The 19 room Perantzada Hotel is a newly opened hotel in the picturesque port of Vathy on the island of Ithaki. It is now known as the Ithaki Grace – Perantzada. The new members of the Grace family already enjoy excellent reputations in their own right and will join the acclaimed Mykonos Grace and Santorini Grace located in the Cyclades island cluster.

Commenting on the agreement, Philippe Requin Chief Executive Officer of Grace Hotels Group stated: “Both hotels are beautifully conceived and located, thus fulfilling the Grace criteria of providing understated contemporary elegance and supreme comfort at some of the world’s most stylish destinations and resorts. We are delighted to welcome them into the Grace fold and believe each will add a new dimension to the Grace collection. Meanwhile Grace branding will provide a fitting tribute to the reputation already held by these fine properties.”

CEO of Tsimaras Hotels, Haris Tsimaras, added: “The Emelisse and Perantzada clearly share a style and ethos with Grace Hotels.

The properties could not, therefore, be in better hands. Grace Hotels’ senior management team brings unmatched international luxury hotel experience while the Grace name represents one of the strongest niche hotel brands to have emerged in recent years”.

The Kefalonia Grace (Emelisse) enjoys a dramatic setting on Kefalonia’s northern coast.

Its extensive terraces offer perfect tranquillity and spectacular views and there is a sandy beach adjacent to the hotel.

The rooms range from Executive Doubles to a choice of suites including the spectacular Presidential Suite. There are two main swimming pools, one featuring a children’s area, and a further five private pools serving five of the hotel’s guest wings.

Fiskardo is the most famous and picture-perfect fishing village on the island.

The Ithaki Grace (Perantzada) is a recent re-development of a 19th century neo-classical mansion.

It combines period features with the subtly elegant, modern décor that is the Grace Hotels’ trademark.

Accommodation ranges from double rooms with sea views, many with balconies, to Executive and Junior Suites.

Its heated infinity pool offers superb sea views. Vathy, with its elongated hidden bay is the capital of Ithaki, a quintessential Greek town with numerous tavernas, bars and cafés.

The accommodation of each hotel includes sumptuous king size beds as well as the latest AV and IT technology, such as wi-fi and flat screen satellite TV. They will carry the Grace brand with immediate effect and enjoy the full range of services that is synonymous with Grace Hotels.

In addition to Mykonos Grace, Santorini Grace, Ithaki Grace and Kefalonia Grace, more Greek island Grace Hotels are on the horizon. Kea Grace Hotel & Residences is now under development for a planned debut

It is a little known fact that in the sixteenth century the region of Alsace in eastern France experienced a ‘silver rush’.

In 1502 silver was discovered in what is now known as the Val d’Argent and people travelled from all over Europe in the hope of striking it rich.

Although many of them used only divining rods to seek their fortune there were plenty of success stories. One prospector even discovered a block of silver weighing 592 kg!

The Tellure silver mine is opening once again, but this time not to those with pick-axes and hard hats but to the public with guide books and cameras. Visitors will be able to retrace the footsteps of those early prospectors as they journey through the high quality cave networks that run under the magnificent Vosges Mountains north west of Colmar.

One of Tellure’s most striking features is a 180 m high cave which provides a breath-taking illustration of the scale of the mining operations.

Tellure will use a variety of sound, light and video special effects as well as panoramic cinema and reconstructed scenes to provide a fully immersive experience.

Many of the exhibits will be interactive and all will be translated into French, English and German with audio-guides also available. Tellure will also host an important collection of jewellery that has been made from silver and minerals found at the site, including pieces made by René Lalique and Cartier.

TRAVEL INDOCHINA OFFERS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW CAMBODIA’S MOST FAMOUS LANDMARK

Leading Asia specialist, Travel Indochina, has just introduced a series of tailor-made private day tours in Cambodia, giving its customers a spectacular opportunity to see Angkor Wat, the world’s largest sacred monument, away from the masses. Among the options available are a new walking tour, a ‘free’ trip in a hot air balloon and an amazing helicopter ride, OR better still, customers can opt for all three as part of the operator’s 4-day “Alternative Angkor” private package*.

The “Angkor Walking Tour” is a unique experience offered exclusively to Travel Indochina’s customers and begins at the less-visited section of Angkor Thom city.

Guests will have an opportunity to walk 3km along the top of the 5 metre-wide city wall which is a wonder in itself, remaining in near-perfect condition since its construction in the late 12th century.

The more adventurous may prefer one of the “Angkor from the Air” alternatives. With an opportunity denied to other visitors,

Travel Indochina’s knowledgeable tour guides are able to gain exclusive access, for their customers, to the eastern entrance of the mesmerising Angkor Wat. A pre-dawn departure enables customers to see the wondrous temple at sunrise via a short tuk-tuk ride and torch-lit approach through the jungle – an experience they’ll never forget.

One of the highlights of the day is a ride in a fixed-cable hot air balloon , reaching a height of 200 metres and allowing guests to take in the unforgettable vista of this sacred monument and its surroundings. The day continues at the jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm, one of the most atmospheric of all the temples in Angkor.

For the ultimate thrill, guests can upgrade the “Angkor from the Air” package to include an exhilarating helicopter ride, providing breathtaking views of the mesmerising Angkor complex. Chris Orme, Travel Indochina’s general manager comments: “Travel Indochina prides itself on creating unique experiences for our customers to make their holiday truly memorable – we are the only tour operator to have access to the eastern entrance of Angkor Wat and the addition of our ‘Alternative Angkor’ package and new day tours perfectly completes the ‘once in a lifetime’ experience.”

The 4 day, 3 night “Alternative Angkor” package costs £295 per person (based on 2 pax) and includes private transfers, 3 nights’ accommodation, a full day’s ‘Angkor Walking Tour’** and a full day ‘Angkor from the Air’*** including a free hot air balloon ride. Helicopter ride upgrades cost £115 per person.

One free night’s accommodation is also offered for all bookings made before the end of September 2009.

The exquisite Chuan Spa at The Langham is now open and destined to become Auckland’s ultimate urban oasis while setting a new benchmark in spa excellence for New Zealand.

Offering unforgettable spa treatments such as a Tri-bathing Ritual which includes a snail shower*, ice experience** and herbal steam rooms, Chuan Spa is an opulent retreat away from the outside world offering signature health and beauty treatments based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

The newly built NZ$4 million Chuan Spa facility has six treatment rooms, individual and dual suites, a heated outdoor infinity pool and jacuzzi, relaxation lounges and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.

Matched with the exceptional service that is to be expected from The Langham, it will undoubtedly make the hotel even more of a destination than it already is, says Jeffrey van Vorsselen, Managing Director of The Langham.

“The Langham experience is highly regarded so we are delighted to welcome Chuan Spa as we further enhance the range of five-star services we provide.

The design of Chuan Spa has been previously unseen in New Zealand, the service level and holistic spa journey not experienced before and the innovation we bring with Chuan Spa has the potential to put Auckland on the map for international spa travellers.”

Chuan Spa will offer more than 30 specialty spa treatments combining the finest traditions from the east and west with exclusive Chuan experiences, based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and working alongside Thalgo products. Chuan is the Chinese word for flowing water and this is reflected throughout the design of the spa on the second floor of the 410 room hotel.

Chuan Spa innovations include a treatment for travellers dealing with jet lag, common for long haul visitors to New Zealand, a Ming Facial using gold magnets on the skin to increase stimulation and reduce skin ailments and a range of Chuan massages, wraps, scrubs, facials and TCM treatments with a qualified TCM consultant.

Accompanying Chuan Spa, two opulent Oriental inspired residential suites or ‘Havens’ have also been launched to support the Chuan Spa experience when staying at the hotel. The ‘Havens’ are available only when booking Chuan Spa accommodation packages and are designed to provide the ultimate Chuan Spa experience from start to finish.

“People might think that in this economic climate launching a luxury spa brand is an interesting move,” says Mr van Vorsselen. “But what we have in fact done is create ten new jobs and bring an international spa and hotel experience to the doorstep of Aucklanders and New Zealanders. This is at a time when we are being encouraged to holiday in our own city and country. A visit to Chuan Spa will feel like a true getaway which I think will prove popular with both hotel guests and day spa visitors alike.”

Development and investment in the hotel is continuing with the upcoming refurbishment and extension of The Langham’s Rangitoto ballroom.

“While Chuan Spa is a further jewel in our crown, it is not the final one,” says Mr van Vorsselen, who will oversee The Great Room at The Langham project which is a 1200 seat capacity ballroom intended to replace the current facility. The Great Room at The Langham will open fully in February 2010.

There’s plenty to do in Koh Samui – from a secluded holiday in a five-star spa resort, to hanging out in a basic beach bungalow.

As Thailand’s third largest (and, for many, favorite) island, Samui has captivated tourists, young and old, since a couple of backpackers,roughing it on the deck of a copra boat from Bangkok in 1971, “discovered” the jewel off Thailand’s east coast – a paradise of white-sand beaches, secluded coves, coconut plantations and wild interior.

Today, Samui, where participants on ASTW post – AGM tour number 3 will spend six days, still exudes the same natural beauty, despite nearly four decades of development.

Chaweng and Lamai beaches are the busiest, with a nightlife to match. Bo Phut and Mae Nam bays are popular with older romantics and honeymooners.

The post – AGM group will fly in by Bangkok Airways for an immediate introduction to yet another face of always-surprising Koh Samui – a visit to an elephant camp for a short trek through bamboo forests. Later the same day they’ll see how monkeys are trained to pick coconuts from tree and learn how to make a jungle curry with coconut oil.

The second day will be an excursion by boat to Ang Thong Marine National Park, a collection of 40 pristine islands with natural caves, blue lagoons and stunning rock formations. There will be time to swim, sunbathe and snorkel.

Another day is spent visiting more islands for swimming and lunch.

The Whitsunday’s first full-service five-star apartment resort will open in on June 1st. Peppers Coral Coast Resort at Airlie Beach is the first mainland Whitsunday resort for the prestigious Peppers Group which has luxurious properties throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Designed by leading architects Gary Hunt & Partners, the resort seamlessly integrates the tropical maritime feel of Airlie Beach with the world renowned sophistication, style and uncompromising service of Peppers.

Looking across the village to the brand new Port of Airlie and Whitsunday islands, the resort has been purpose-designed for a tantalising North Queensland tropical lifestyle with wide, breezy verandahs and strong nautical motifs including shiplap boards, portholes and striking stainless steel rims.

Tides Restaurant & Bar at Peppers Coral Coast Resort will provide exceptional food and wine experiences.

The on-site Endota Spa will offer guests a whole mind, body experience focussed on total wellbeing and pampering with anti-stress, anti-ageing, detoxifying and cleansing treatments.

The resort will also offer premium conference, meeting, event and wedding facilities in a beautiful tropical setting with the main conference room accommodating up to 95 delegates theatre style.

Recognised as the official gateway to the Whitsundays, Airlie Beach is a panoramic wonderland where the water is a way of life, whether you’re a spectator or competitor in the regular yacht regatta or strolling on the tree lined beaches.

Peppers Coral Coast Resort’s apartments open with a special rate of AUD$179 per night for a one bedroom apartment valid until 30 November 2009.

Peppers Coral Coast Resort is now open for bookings. For further information and reservations call 1800 064 080 or email coralcoast@peppers.com.au .
