Sundays at SANTI will never be the same again, as the award-winning restaurant has gone back to its roots to unearth authentic traditional Catalan gems for its new lunch menu – believed to be a first in Singapore.

The restaurant will pamper guests with a truly authentic Catalan experience – from traditional home cooked dishes that embodies the strong flavors of the cuisine, right down to the Catalan language on the menu display.

The four-course lunch menu – which is exclusive to Sundays only – is launched as the restaurant crosses its first year of operations in Singapore.

“We thank our loyal diners for their unstinting support shown throughout our first year in Singapore. We will continue the great work started by my father, Santi Santamaria, to spread his love for food. Through the presentation of traditional Catalan cuisine, we not only wish to introduce Catalonia to our guests, we also want to remind ourselves of the cooking philosophy that Chef Santi held very close to his heart. This is where we began from and we are proud to celebrate our roots,” said Regina Santamaria, daughter of the late celebrity chef.

In contrast with its usual dinner menu which is inclined towards Mediterranean-inspired dishes, SANTI’s lunch menu will bring guests on a journey to the region of Catalonia through the taste of classic home-cooked dishes. Traditional Catalan cuisine is marked by its cooking methods of braising, stewing, charcoal grilling and roasting. A hallmark of the Catalan cuisine lies in sauces such as Sofrito sauce, a compote of onion, tomato and garlic; the tangy Romesco sauce, which blends roasted tomato, garlic, nuts with olive oil and the creamy emulsion of Aioli, made from garlic and oil and pairs well with grilled meat and vegetables.

Guests can choose between two to three items for each course on the menu, which changes based on the freshest seasonal produce. Staples include Arrós “Mar I Muntanya”, traditional country rice with organic mushrooms and seafood.

Executive Chef of SANTI, Daniel Chavez, who has been helming the kitchen in Singapore, says, “This menu brings guests back to where Chef Santi started off and gives them an idea of his roots back in Catalonia. Catalan cuisine is not commonly found in Singapore restaurants and we look forward to being one of the few restaurants serving authentic Catalan fare.”

The exclusive lunch menu at SANTI is available every Sunday from 12:00pm – 2:00pm. The four course menu is priced at S$88++ or S$150++ (with wine pairing).

Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling +65 6688 8501 or email santi@marinabaysands.com

New Research from Hotel Industry’s First Loyalty Program Tracks

Global Travel Loyalty Marketplace; Identifies Top Trends, Launches New Look

Priority Club® Rewards, the world’s largest and fastest-growing hotel loyalty program from IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) announces its new positioning and refreshed look as a result of findings from its global travel loyalty industry study. Twenty-eight years after breaking ground as the hotel industry’s first loyalty club, Priority Club Rewards undertook extensive global research to better understand the attitudes and habits of hotel guests. The program preferred by most guests today reveals key trends among frequent travelers from around the world.

Priority Club Rewards conducted a three-year journey of quantitative and qualitative research of more than 10,000 frequent travelers, who were enrolled in loyalty programs from IHG and other leading hotel companies in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The findings provided an inside look at the global travel loyalty marketplace and were used to develop the new look and positioning for Priority Club Rewards.

“In 2010, we enrolled on average 600,000 guests per month in Priority Club Rewards; we now have more than 56 million members which is almost equivalent to the population of theU.K.The re-launch of Priority Club Rewards is a significant investment by IHG to strengthen our global competitiveness in the industry and among savvy frequent travelers with numerous choices of where to stay,” said Don Berg, vice president, Loyalty Programs and Partnerships, IHG. “This guest-driven re-launch is proof that successful brand innovation requires more than a facelift, but also an investment in research and development to deliver a relevant product that will attract and retain loyal customers.”

While Priority Club Rewards features notable programs such as: No Point Expiration, No Blackout Dates, the Points & Cash system and access to airline ticket inventory and non-IHG hotel rooms, respectively, through Flights Anywhere™ and Hotels Anywhere™ redemption options, IHG will also add several new Priority Club Rewards redemption offerings in 2011.

“The research clearly confirmed that hotel loyalty program members in every region of the world not only want to earn currency that is valuable and flexible, they also want to maintain absolute control in how they use it,” adds Berg. “And, with so many new choices to redeem Priority Club® points, there’s never been a better time to book directly on IHG’s website, where members can earn Priority Club points with every stay.”

Among the top trends identified by Priority Club Rewards:

Hotel loyalty program points displace airline frequent flyer miles as preferred currency: Frequent travelers place a higher perceived value on hotel loyalty program currency over frequent flier miles, as airlines’ imposition of fees, decreased reward seat inventory and greater restrictions have weakened consumer trust, and as hotel programs add additional redemption options, including access to airline inventory.

Business travelers value loyalty more than price: Loyalty program membership is a stronger predictor of hotel selection than price or location – for frequent guests who stay a minimum of 20 nights per year – regardless of preference for midscale or upscale brands.

Travelers across North America, Asia Pacific and Europe are equally point currency conscious: The value loyalty points hold as currency – for earning and redeeming – ranked as the highest priority for hotel selection by frequent travelers globally, higher than special perks, privileges or benefits in the hotel.

Global economy a solid indicator of consumer activity in loyalty programs: Health of the global economy has an inverse correlation with driving hotel loyalty members to use point redemption options versus stockpiling, given points’ perceived utility as cash. For example, during a single month in 2008, Priority Club® members redeemed points for US$1 million in gasoline card vouchers as rising oil prices inflated gas prices.

Leading with this valuable consumer insight, the re-launched Priority Club Rewards loyalty program is now better equipped to meet the needs of the changing frequent traveler and continues to be a key business driver for IHG. Priority Club Rewards will further empower frequent guests through an easy and efficient point-focused program that provides access to non-hotel travel related services, discount and high-end retail merchandise and gift vouchers, exclusive life experiences, and of course IHG’s more than 4,400 hotels worldwide.

New features launched by Priority Club Rewards are listed below:

Last Minute Reward Nights: A hotel industry first, “Last Minute Reward Nights” will allow Priority Club members globally to redeem Reward Nights at a 50% discount off the regular point price, for selected properties. Members will receive an e-mail on Monday providing a list of hotels where this offer will be available the following weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Initially, this program will be offered on the first full weekend of every month, starting with May 6, 7 and 8, 2011.

Points & Cash for Merchandise Rewards: Also a hotel industry first, Priority Club members in the U.S. will be able to redeem a combination of Priority Club points and cash for brand name retail merchandise rewards. Priority Club Rewards currently offers points and cash capability on Reward Nights, but this will expand that functionality to merchandise rewards, a feature not offered anywhere in the industry. The program will roll out globally beginning late 2011.

“Lucky Points” Sweepstakes: This feature will give members based in theUS,Canada, andUK the chance to turn their extra points into great rewards. Members will be able to redeem a very small quantity of Priority Club points (e.g., 100 or 200 points per entry) in exchange for a chance to win the prize or prizes that are most appealing to them. Typically, members will have 6-8 different prize draws to select from, ranging from terrific hotel packages (e.g. 4 nights at the InterContinental Times Square- New York) to popular merchandise (e.g., iPads), and even 1 million Priority Club points! Priority Club Rewards will be the only travel loyalty program to offer members this chance to turn a single stay into a huge prize! The program will roll out inChina andJapan beginning fall 2011.

Double Points, Double Miles All Summer Long: No matter where the stay, anywhere in the world, IHG will award its Priority Club® members with
double Priority Club® points or double air miles at any InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza® Hotels & Resorts, Hotel Indigo®, Holiday Inn®, Holiday Inn® Club Vacations, Holiday Inn® Express, Staybridge Suites® and Candlewood Suites® for stays May 16 – Aug. 15, 2011. To participate in the promotion, Priority Club members can register online beginning today and earn double beginning with the second stay*. Priority Club Rewards features notable redemption programs such as Points & Cash and access to airline ticket inventory and non-IHG hotel rooms, respectively, through Flights Anywhere™ and Hotels Anywhere™. Priority Club points never expire and there are no blackout dates. For full terms and conditions visit www.priorityclub.com/earndouble

世界首个酒店忠诚计划「优悦会」开展全球旅行市场忠诚度调查，发布行业趋势并启用全新标识

英国洲际酒店集团（IHG）宣布其忠诚客户奖励计划 －－「优悦会」（Priority Club® Rewards）在全球启用最新形象标识。在洲际酒店集团率行业之先推出「优悦会」的28年后，这个目前规模最大、发展最快的酒店业忠诚客户奖励计划在全球范围开展了一项针对旅游行业的忠诚度调查，希望从中更好地了解酒店客人的消费态度及习惯。此次「优悦会」的全面升级正是基于洲际酒店集团对于调查结果的深度分析与综合评估，这个深受会员青睐的酒店忠诚计划在全新登场后将能更好地反映世界各地旅行常客的主要旅行趋势。

「优悦会」历时三年对逾万名旅行常客进行了定量和定性的市场调查研究，受访对象为洲际酒店集团及其他主要酒店集团在北美、欧洲、亚洲和中东等地区的忠诚客户奖励计划会员。洲际酒店集团对全球旅行市场进行了深入的解读，并由此制定了「优悦会」的全新定位与形象标识。

洲际酒店集团忠诚计划及客户关系副总裁Don Berg表示：“2010年全球平均每个月有60万名新会员加入「优悦会」，现在我们全球的会员人数已经达到5600万，几乎相当于整个英国的人口总数。「优悦会」形象标识的全新定位是洲际酒店集团的一项重大投资，旨在提高我们在全球的竞争力，为明智的旅行常客提供更多的入住选择。这一重视客人体验的「优悦会」全新计划也证明成功的品牌创新需要涉及产品的各个层面，通过大量的研究来开发出创新的产品，从而吸引并留住忠诚的客人。”

「优悦会」曾推出多项广受市场关注的优惠推广活动，如积分永不过期、积分加现金兑换、积分兑换航空里程以及积分兑换其他集团酒店住宿等。2011年，洲际酒店集团将为「优悦会」会员提供更多便捷、优惠的积分兑换方式。

Berg进一步说道：“研究结果表明，全球各地的会员都希望积分兑换方式更加灵活，赚取的积分更有价值，而且还希望能够自如掌控积分的使用。 因此，「优悦会」提供的多种兑换途径非常具有吸引力，在目前所有的网站订房渠道中，只有直接通过洲际酒店集团网站预订的房间可以保证每次入住的有效积分累积。”

「优悦会」公布的行业最新趋势有：

酒店入住积分比飞行里程更受欢迎：相较于飞行里程，常旅客更倾向于酒店积分。因为航空公司往往会收取额外费用、限制可兑换的座位并设置更多的限制条件，这些做法一定程度降低了旅客的信任度。而酒店忠诚客人奖励计划则推出了更多的兑换途径，其中也包括了兑换航空座位。
商务旅客更看重酒店的忠诚度而非客房价格：对于每年至少有20晚入住酒店的旅行常客来说，无论选择中档还是高档酒店，他们往往都会选择其拥有会员资格的酒店而并非将价格及地点放在考虑选择酒店的首要因素。
北美、亚太和欧洲的旅客都同样重视会员积分：会员积分等同于现金的价值能力－－不论是获取积分还是在兑换积分的环节－－ 都是常旅客在选择酒店时最看重的因素，这甚至超过了他们对酒店特别优惠推广活动的关注。
全球经济状况可以作为预测会员消费行为的一个可靠指标：由于积分可作为现金抵用，因此在全球经济稳健时，会员倾向于累积积分，而当经济不好时，往往会刺激酒店会员使用积分兑换功能。比如在2008年某月，由于原油价格上涨引发了汽油价格上涨，「优悦会」会员在该月用积分兑换加油券的价值就高达一百万美元。

全新的「优悦会」计划来自洲际酒店集团对于消费者的深入洞悉，自然能够更好地满足常旅客的需求，并成为集团业务增长的关键动力。为了更大程度上地奖励常旅客，「优悦会」将专注于打造便捷、高效的积分奖励计划，开发更多可用积分兑换的优惠，包括非酒店旅行服务、折扣、高端零售商品、礼品券、最独特的旅行体验、当然还有洲际酒店集团全球4400余家酒店的免费客房入住。

「优悦会」推出的全新会员礼遇有：

最后一刻入住奖励（Last Minute Reward Nights）：创酒店行业之先的“最后一刻入住奖励”（Last Minute Reward Nights）计划将赋予优悦会会员以半价优惠的积分兑换指定酒店客房的权利。会员将在每周一收到周末（周五、周六、周日）可用半价积分兑换入住的酒店清单。初始阶段这一计划将在每个月的第一个周末推出。第一期入住日期为2011年5月6至8日。

积分加现金兑换商品（Points & Cash for Merchandise Rewards）：积分加现金兑换商品（Points & Cash for Merchandise Rewards）计划也将成为一项行业创举。在美国的优悦会会员将可以使用积分加现金兑换品牌零售商品。目前优悦会成员仅可在兑换客房时使用积分加现金的方式，而这一方式将马上应用到商品兑换中，这在整个酒店行业中绝无仅有。这一计划将于2011年下半年在全球推广。

“幸运积分”抽奖(“Lucky Points” Sweepstakes)：这一举措将给在美国、加拿大和英国的会员提供一个以积分赢取大奖的机会。会员只需使用少量的积分（比如100或200分）就有机会获得他们心仪的奖品。会员需先从6到8种奖品中选取一个目标，奖品包括极具诱惑力的入住奖励（如纽约时代广场洲际酒店四晚住宿），潮流的商品（如iPad等），甚至还有到高达一百万分的优悦会积分。优悦会将成为首个入住即有机会赢得惊喜大奖的酒店忠诚客户奖励计划。这一计划将于2011年秋季在中国和日本推出。

今夏火热推出双倍会员积分、双倍飞行里程积分: 2011年5月16日至8月15日期间，优悦会会员入住全球任何一家洲际酒店集团旗下酒店，将获得双倍会员积分或双倍飞行里程积分。优悦会会员可以登陆网站注册参与优惠推广活动，并在第二晚入住时享受双倍积分*。优悦会的优惠活动包括积分加现金兑换商品、使用Flights Anywhere™兑换机票以及使用Hotels Anywhere™兑换其他集团酒店住宿等。优悦会积分永不过期以及奖励的住宿无截止日期。完整条款及细则请查看www.priorityclub.com/earndouble

* 第一晚入住Staybridge Suites和Candlewood Suites即可获取双倍积分。

「优悦会」全力打造全新品牌形象的举措有：

重新设计「优悦会」会员卡：采用清新的蓝色底色、配以优美的世界各地景观图片
设计简洁方便易用的全新「优悦会」网站于四月底推出－这是除了洲际酒店网站之外唯一可以获取「优悦会」积分的酒店预定网站：www.priorityclub.com
在「优悦会」会员通讯、广告和宣传资料中增加全球各地风俗摄影图片，方便会员了解世界各地最具风情的旅行圣地

Champagne “S” de Salon 1999 是20世纪第三十七款也是最后一款佳酿。Salon评论它为“野性十足、层次丰富、能量十足、余味无穷、前程似锦、不容错过”。它蕴含青春独有的热烈魅力，它带着邪气的美丽无可匹敌。Champagne Salon 1999 是一种撩人的完美，如拥有着无限未来的年少。

追求完美的Champagne Salon 在上一个世纪仅推出过 37 款佳酿，款款风情、款款至尊、款款独一无二， Champagne Salon赋予“唯一”至高无上的地位：它曾属于“唯一”的主人- Aimé Salon， 它拥有“唯一”的栽培地 – the Côte des Blancs，它出自“唯一”的Cru – Le Mesnil-sur-Oger，它使用“唯一的”葡萄品种 – Chardonnay ，甚至它永远属于那“唯一”的年份。

Champagne Salon简介
Champagne Salon 由香槟赏鉴行家 Eugéne-Aimé Salon创于1911年，当年他来到Le Mesnil，对这里的土壤着了迷并最终留下。Eugéne-Aimé Salon 是一名喜好幽居的美食家，他孜孜不倦地酿造心意中完美的香槟，并最终成功酿制出一款前所未有的Blanc de Blancs。

Champagne Salon 有诸多独特之外，然而最能体现其无上品质的却是它独一无二的 cru Salon。

在Côte des Blancs的香槟产区顶级酒庄Le Mesnil-sur-Oger，Champagne Salon只生产一种顶级的香槟，那就是the cuvée S。这款香槟产于Salon拥有的一个名为“Le Jardin de Salon”， 或称 “Salon’s Garden”的2.5英亩的葡萄园，以及来自在Le Mesnil-sur-Oger的19个较小的葡萄园区（总面积22.5英亩），全部由创始人Eugène-Aimé Salon在20世纪初亲自挑选。

酿造Delamotte
使用现代酿酒技术结合传统香槟酿酒工艺，Champagne Delamotte的技术完美地结合了高品质的果香和历史悠久的葡萄酒。Delamotte的葡萄完全采用人工采摘及人工分类，这些葡萄工人已经为这个公司工作了很多年。为了生产出高品质的酒，Delamotte使用Wilmes压缩空气系统挤压葡萄。区别于Salon，苹果乳酸发酵完美地融入到Delamotte葡萄酒的制造中。
