CONRAD RABAT ARZANA CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OF MODERN MOROCCO BY THE SEA

SET ALONG MOROCCO’S ATLANTIC COASTLINE, RABAT HAS STEADILY EMERGED AS A REFINED DESTINATION FOR CULTURALLY CURIOUS AND DESIGN-AWARE TRAVELERS. WITHIN THIS SETTING, CONRAD RABAT ARZANA STANDS AS A DEFINING PRESENCE, RECENTLY RECOGNIZED IN THE TOP 100 HOTELS & RESORTS OF THE WORLD BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS, AFFIRMING ITS POSITION AMONG THE WORLD’S MOST DISTINGUISHED HOSPITALITY EXPERIENCES.

An Elevated Oceanfront Address

Perched above a tranquil lagoon and the open Atlantic, Conrad Rabat Arzana offers a sense of seclusion rarely found so close to a capital city. The resort’s elevated waterfront position provides uninterrupted ocean views, complemented by landscaped gardens and scenic walking paths that invite guests to slow their pace and engage with the surrounding natural beauty. Proximity to Rabat ensures cultural landmarks and coastal towns such as Harhoura are easily accessible, creating a balance between retreat and exploration.

Refined Accommodations with a Sense of Place

The resort features 120 spacious guest rooms and suites, including an expansive royal suite, each designed to reflect contemporary comfort infused with Moroccan artistry. Ocean-facing terraces, generous interiors, and select suites with private infinity pools reinforce a residential atmosphere rather than a conventional hotel stay. Design elements draw from local craftsmanship while maintaining a modern aesthetic, ensuring that every space feels intentional and quietly luxurious.

A Culinary Portfolio with Global Perspective

Dining at Conrad Rabat Arzana is defined by range and precision. Signature venues include 99 Sushi, L’Oursin, La Brise, and Feuillage, each presenting a distinct culinary identity. From refined Asian concepts to Mediterranean and international influences, the resort’s restaurants are curated to suit both destination diners and resident

guests. Poolside offerings add a relaxed counterpoint, while service remains attentive without intrusion, allowing cuisine to remain the focal point.

Wellness Designed Around the Individual

At Conrad Spa, wellness is approached as a personalized journey rather than a standardized menu. State-of-the-art treatments draw inspiration from global traditions, paired with diagnostic facial therapies and holistic rituals tailored to individual needs. The spa’s design emphasizes light, harmony, and organic materials, creating an atmosphere that encourages restoration. This commitment to bespoke care aligns with the resort’s broader philosophy of thoughtful, guest-centered hospitality.

Curated Experiences Beyond the Resort

Conrad Rabat Arzana extends its sense of place through carefully designed itineraries lasting one, three, or five hours. Guests may explore local culture through private art encounters, architectural insights, or immersive walks through coastal neighborhoods. These experiences are crafted to fit seamlessly into a stay, whether time is limited or generously available, ensuring meaningful engagement without feeling overprogrammed.

A Destination for Meaningful Gatherings

Beyond leisure travel, the resort has established itself as a preferred venue for weddings, private celebrations, and executive retreats. Event spaces are designed to complement the coastal setting, offering privacy, flexibility, and a level of service suited to high-profile occasions. Dedicated teams manage each gathering with precision, reinforcing the resort’s reputation for reliability and discretion.

Service Built on Consistency and Insight

Service at Conrad Rabat Arzana is defined by attention to individual preferences and a structured approach to excellence. Personalized welcome rituals, dedicated concierge support, and ongoing staff training ensure that guest expectations are not only met but anticipated. Continuous feedback integration allows the resort to refine its offerings, maintaining relevance in a competitive luxury landscape.

Operating exclusively in Morocco while serving an international clientele, Conrad Rabat Arzana presents a compelling vision of modern coastal luxury rooted in authenticity, design, and intentional service.

FINLAND WHERE FINNISH ARTISTRY MEETS LAPLAND MAGIC: DESIGN HOTEL LEVI

DESIGN HOTEL LEVI, RECOGNISED AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 HOTELS AND RESORTS OF THE WORLD BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS IN 2025, STANDS OUT FOR ITS DISTINCTIVE FINNISH IDENTITY AND IMMERSIVE BOUTIQUE ATMOSPHERE. THE CHARACTER OF DESIGN HOTEL LEVI IS SHAPED BY CONTEMPORARY NORDIC DESIGN, THOUGHTFUL COMFORT AND A SETTING WHERE LAPLAND’S DRAMATIC SEASONS BECOME PART OF THE EXPERIENCE, FROM GLOWING SUMMER NIGHTS TO THE MAGNETIC SPECTACLE OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.

Finnish Design Meets a Boutique Atmosphere

The hotel offers a distinct combination of contemporary Nordic style and warm, boutique refinement. Missoni bathrobes and towels set the stage for a stay where thoughtful detail enhances comfort, while the handcrafted atmosphere of the property reflects the textures of Finnish wood and stone. The connection to nature continues outside, where Levi’s ski slopes rise just steps away, inviting winter enthusiasts and curious travellers alike.

Every morning begins with a premium breakfast served directly to the table. Guests enjoy local delicacies, thoughtfully prepared in an open kitchen that adds theatre to the dining experience. Whether it’s artisan breads, fresh Nordic ingredients or beautifully prepared hot dishes, the meal sets the tone for a day filled with invigorating outdoor pursuits or moments of quiet indulgence.

A Personal Touch That Defines the Stay

The hotel’s five-star team brings warmth and attentiveness to every interaction. Guests are assisted with a welcoming approach that feels intuitive rather than formal, and the staff’s ability to anticipate needs elevates even ordinary moments. Whether arranging activities, offering local insights or helping with special requirements, their presence adds an uplifting layer to each stay.

This human element is rooted in one of the hotel’s core principles: valuing both guests and the team equally. The result is an atmosphere where people feel genuinely cared for, which naturally leads to stays that leave lasting impressions.

Where Nature Shapes Unforgettable Moments

Levi is a destination defined by contrasts, from glowing summer nights under the midnight sun to the mystical “kaamos,” when daylight retreats and Lapland embraces its blue winter light. Between August and April, the Northern Lights dance across the sky, and guests can often step outside the hotel for a front-row view of the phenomenon.

Winter brings a landscape alive with snow-covered forests and crisp silence, a true “winter wonderland.” Visitors can embark on husky adventures, meet reindeer, or spend peaceful hours exploring the outdoors on skis or snowshoes. After a day in the cold, returning to a silent room with exceptional bedding offers deep rest and an irresistible sense of tranquillity.

An ideal stay often includes dinner at the fine-dining restaurant Kekäle, where guests enjoy elevated dishes inspired by Lapland’s ingredients. Stepping outside after dinner to witness the sky transform with auroras creates an evening many call once-in-alifetime.

Holistic Experiences Through Levi Hotel Spa Resort

As part of Levi Hotel Spa Resort, Design Hotel Levi offers access to facilities rarely found this close to ski slopes. Water World Levi features indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, cold and hot pools, a fitness pool and a variety of saunas, including Finnish and log sauna experiences. Families can explore Ailu Children’s World, a reimagined space filled with activities and games for all ages. Additional offerings include the Day Spa Studio Feel It for wellness treatments and the Levi Wellness Club, which features high-quality gym facilities, yoga classes and group exercise programs throughout the year.

The resort’s infrastructure ensures that everything a guest might need is within easy reach, including restaurants, spa treatments, wellness options, and even a Finnair check-in machine at the shared reception.

A Distinctive Approach to Inspiration and Innovation

The team stays informed on global trends by exploring hotels, restaurants and competitions around the world. This pursuit of fresh ideas influences their choices in materials and design, ensuring each new project feels unique and memorable.

Marketing efforts extend across social platforms, including Instagram, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, along with brochures designed for travel partners who value clarity and visual impact.

GRAND COPTHORNE WATERFRONT HOTEL SINGAPORE: A FOUR-TIME TOP 100 WINNER FOR 2025

IN THE VIBRANT HEART OF SINGAPORE’S RIVERFRONT DISTRICT, GRAND COPTHORNE WATERFRONT HOTEL SINGAPORE CONTINUES ITS ASCENT AS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST DISTINGUISHED HOSPITALITY ICONS. CELEBRATING ITS 4TH TOP 100 VICTORY FOR 2025, THIS TIME HONORED AMONG LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS’ TOP 100 HOTELS & RESORTS OF THE WORLD, THE HOTEL BOASTS VISIONARY LEADERSHIP, DESIGN MERIT, AND A STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE LUXURY.

This prestigious recognition comes at a defining moment for the property, following a transformative multi-million-dollar rejuvenation and the continued leadership of Mr. Andrew Tan You Yuan, recently named among the TOP 100 Hotel General Managers of 2025. Under his guidance, Grand Copthorne Waterfront has re-emerged as a modern sanctuary for travelers and guests.

A Reimagined Riverside Landmark

Grand Copthorne Waterfront’s 2023 rebirth marked one of Singapore’s most ambitious hotel renewal projects. With 573 redesigned rooms and suites, the hotel blends contemporary aesthetics with thoughtful comfort, offering full-length windows overlooking the Singapore River or the dramatic city skyline. Each room integrates intelligent technology and elevated finishes that enhance both convenience and serenity.

Beyond guestrooms, the hotel significantly expanded its 67,000 sq ft of conference and event facilities, including 33 function spaces and an impressive 850 sqm pillarless Grand Ballroom equipped with immersive LED technology. This makes Grand Copthorne Waterfront a premier destination for global conferences, weddings, and high-profile events, an advantage reinforced by its central riverfront location and effortless accessibility across the city.

Guests also enjoy an array of leisure amenities, from a 24-hour fitness center, outdoor pool and jacuzzi, to Singapore’s first hotel padel court, an embodiment of the property’s modern, lifestyle-forward experience.

Leadership That Inspires

Behind this evolution is the forward-thinking leadership of Andrew Tan, whose global experience across the UK, China, Malaysia, and Singapore contributes to a “people-first” management philosophy. His approach champions empowerment, continuous learning, and trust, values that have elevated both guest satisfaction and team culture.

Under his strategic direction, the hotel recorded strong performance across rooms, catering, and F&B following its renovation, highlighting the alignment between visionary leadership and world-class guest experience. His recognition as one of the world’s top hoteliers further underscores the caliber of stewardship guiding the property.

Sustainable Luxury at Its Core

A hallmark of Grand Copthorne Waterfront’s distinction, and a critical reason behind its global accolades, is its devotion to sustainability. Its “Go Green” program has positioned the hotel at the forefront of eco-conscious hospitality, earning SACEOS Gold Certification under the Singapore MICE Sustainability framework and adhering to GSTC guidelines.

Key initiatives include:

• In-room water filtration systems, significantly reducing single-use plastic and lowering guestroom plastic waste by roughly 20%.

• Smart room energy controls that optimize air-conditioning and lighting, contributing to energy savings of up to 17%.

• Locally sourced, responsibly harvested dining offerings, supporting farm-to-table principles.

• Linen and towel reuse programs that promote mindful consumption.

• EV charging stations, encouraging greener guest transportation choices.

These operational choices not only lower the hotel’s environmental footprint but also align with global ESG benchmarks, making it an ideal choice for today’s conscious travelers and corporate clients.

A Destination Where Experience and Purpose Intertwine

Dining at Grand Copthorne Waterfront is an experience unto itself, with venues such as Food Capital, SanSara, Riverside Terrace and The Lobby Lounge offering diverse, culturally rich culinary journeys. Event planners benefit from daylight-filled meeting rooms, sophisticated AV technology, and sustainable event frameworks, key advantages in Singapore’s competitive MICE landscape.

Leisure travelers are equally rewarded: riverside strolls at Robertson Quay, quick access to nightlife at Clarke Quay, and proximity to major attractions make the hotel a serene yet strategic base for exploring the city.

A Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Grand Copthorne Waterfront remains committed to expanding its sustainable initiatives, deepening guest engagement, and continuing its journey of innovation. Under Andrew Tan’s leadership, the property aims to go beyond global luxury standards.

HILTON WAIKIKI BEACH RESORT

& SPA: WHERE OHANA HOSPITALITY SHAPES

WAIKIKI LUXURY

SET ON THE QUIETER SIDE OF WAIKIKI ALONG KUHIO AVENUE ON THE ISLAND OF OAHU, HILTON WAIKIKI BEACH RESORT & SPA OFFERS A SERENE RETREAT WHILE KEEPING GUESTS CLOSE TO THE CITY’S VIBRANT ENERGY. JUST STEPS FROM THE BEACH AND WITH EASY ACCESS FROM THE AIRPORT, THE RESORT PROVIDES BOTH CONVENIENCE AND TRANQUILITY, FRAMED BY THE LUSH KO’OLAU MOUNTAIN RANGE AND THE SPARKLING PACIFIC OCEAN. RECOGNIZED AMONG THE TOP 100 HOTELS & RESORTS OF THE WORLD BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS, THE RESORT BALANCES THOUGHTFUL LOCATION, COMFORT, AND HUMAN CONNECTION, REFLECTING A PHILOSOPHY ROOTED IN AUTHENTICITY, WARMTH, AND RESPECT FOR BOTH GUESTS AND TEAM MEMBERS.

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa stands on land that was once part of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole’s estate, “Pua Leilani.” The resort pays homage to his legacy through the Prince Kuhio Room, a dedicated sitting area adorned with Hawaiian artifacts and a wooden bust statue, and by celebrating his passion for the ocean with surf and canoe sessions. The resort’s commitment to preserving Hawaiian culture is also reflected in the Prince Kuhio vine, which ties together stories of history, land, and community.

Central to the resort’s ethos is a belief that meaningful luxury begins with people. Team members are empowered to create memorable experiences, fostering a sense of Ohana that guests immediately feel. Recognition, shared purpose, and ongoing engagement are embedded in daily operations, ensuring that hospitality is heartfelt rather than performative. This people-centered approach is complemented by an active social media presence, allowing the resort to remain connected to trends while maintaining its authentic Hawaiian identity.

Rooms Offering Elegance and Connection to Nature

Guest accommodations at Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa provide understated elegance and comfort. Rooms and suites offer either majestic ocean views or serene mountain views of the Ko’olau range, glistening under the Hawaiian sun by day and sparkling by night. Private lanais create a personal connection to the outdoors, inviting guests to savor the morning light or unwind after a day exploring Waikiki. Each space is designed to suit couples seeking a quiet retreat, families, or business travelers, with a sense of ease that allows the natural surroundings to shine.

Recreation with a Waikiki Perspective

The 10th-floor recreation deck serves as both a social hub and a space for quiet reflection. Guests can lounge in cabanas and daybeds (available for an additional fee), enjoy the 9-hole minigolf course, or relax by the pool. Fire pits and cozy seating areas provide the perfect spot to snuggle with a loved one, read a book, or simply take in the views. Games such as corn hole and connect four further enhance the fun.

The resort’s location also encourages exploration of nearby attractions. Active travelers can stroll through Kapiolani Park, visit the Honolulu Zoo, hike Diamond Head, or marvel at marine life at the Waikiki Aquarium. The quieter side of Waikiki ensures a peaceful retreat while still keeping guests close to the island’s iconic experiences.

Dining That Reflects Local Rhythm

M.A.C. 24-7 welcomes guests for breakfast daily from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., with outdoor seating that takes advantage of gentle

tradewinds and views of the Koi pond. A nearby Gazebo offers an additional al fresco option, while M.A.C. 2-Go provides quick grab-and-go items alongside Starbucks favorites. Room service is also available for guests seeking a private dining experience. The Hang 10 Bar and Grill on the pool deck delivers casual dining, while L.B.L.E. in the lobby fosters social gatherings around “The Wall,” a 147-inch LED screen that brings guests together throughout the day.

Events Above the Shoreline

Casamigos House of Friends delivers one of the resort’s most memorable settings, with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Waikiki skyline from 37 floors above. The venue accommodates both intimate gatherings and larger events, combining visual impact with culinary flexibility and attentive service.

Weddings are approached with the same care, offering couples the opportunity to exchange vows against an elevated ocean backdrop and celebrate as the city lights begin to shimmer below.

Recognition with Purpose

International accolades are viewed not as endpoints, but as moments to reflect inward, honoring the legacy of Prince Kuhio and the rich Hawaiian culture that shapes the resort. For Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa’s leadership team, recognition reinforces a commitment to sharing Aloha with the world while celebrating the dedication of its team members.

CARMICHAEL, AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION HOTEL AND THE ART OF EXPERIENTIAL STAYS

MUSIC, ARCHITECTURE, AND REFINED HOSPITALITY CONVERGE AT HOTEL CARMICHAEL, AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION HOTEL, A DESTINATION THAT HAS REDEFINED WHAT A LUXURY STAY CAN FEEL LIKE IN THE MIDWEST. RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 HOTELS & RESORTS OF THE WORLD, THE PROPERTY’S INCLUSION BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS REFLECTS ITS ABILITY TO DELIVER NOT ONLY COMFORT, BUT CULTURAL RELEVANCE AND EMOTIONAL CONNECTION. SINCE OPENING IN 2020, HOTEL CARMICHAEL HAS POSITIONED ITSELF AS A LIFESTYLE LANDMARK RATHER THAN A TRADITIONAL HOTEL, ATTRACTING GUESTS WHO VALUE ATMOSPHERE, ARTISTRY, AND A STRONG SENSE OF PLACE.

A Setting Rooted in Culture and Design

Located in downtown Carmel, Indiana, the hotel occupies one of the city’s most desirable addresses, surrounded by upscale boutiques, acclaimed restaurants, and pedestrian-friendly streets. Directly across from The Palladium, a 1,200-seat concert hall within the Center for the Performing Arts, the property is situated in a district defined by creativity and performance. Inspired in part by 18th-century architect Robert Adam, the hotel’s design blends classical influences with contemporary elegance. More than 250 chandeliers illuminate the interiors, while custom artwork throughout the building pays tribute to the Great American Songbook, reinforcing the hotel’s identity as a cultural retreat.

Rooms Designed for the Discerning Traveler

Guest accommodations reflect the same attention to detail seen throughout the public spaces. High-end furnishings, thoughtful

layouts, and a refined color palette create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. The rooms serve as a quiet counterpoint to the energy of the surrounding arts district, offering a restorative environment after evenings spent at concerts, performances, or live music within the hotel itself. Valet service, attentive staff, and consistent upkeep ensure that comfort is matched by reliability.

Dining and Social Spaces with Personality

Hotel Carmichael’s culinary and social venues play a central role in shaping the guest experience. Vivante Restaurant & Bar serves approachable yet upscale American cuisine, guided by chef-curated menus that highlight local influences and an extensive wine selection. The Adagio Lounge, anchored by a grand piano and woodburning fireplace, offers a welcoming space where music from the Great American Songbook sets the tone for relaxed conversation and evening cocktails. These spaces are not static backdrops, but active contributors to the hotel’s rhythm.

Live Entertainment as a Signature Offering

Live music is woven into daily life at the hotel, with performances taking place five days a week across multiple venues. Feinstein’s, the onsite cabaret and live entertainment venue created in partnership with Michael Feinstein, is modeled after New York’s famed 54 Below. It offers an intimate setting for performances, elevated menus, and a refined bar program. This commitment to

live entertainment transforms the property into a destination not only for overnight guests but also for the local community and visiting audiences.

Thoughtful Service and Signature Moments

Managed by Coury Hospitality, the largest management company of Autograph Collection Hotels, Hotel Carmichael benefits from a service philosophy centered on consistency and personalization. Signature Moments include a welcome beverage at check-in, an amuse bouche in the restaurant, a unique lounge snack, and a thoughtful farewell with complimentary water. Each afternoon at 4 pm, guests are invited to a complimentary champagne toast accompanied by a story honoring the Great American Songbook, reinforcing the hotel’s narrative-driven approach to hospitality.

A Distinctive Standard of Luxury in the Midwest

Consistently ranked among the top Autograph Collection properties in the country for service, Hotel Carmichael stands out as a Four Diamond hotel offering something rare in its region. High occupancy throughout the year, including traditionally slower holiday periods, reflects strong demand for experiences that go beyond lodging. From weddings and events to cultural weekends and extended stays, the hotel appeals to guests seeking depth, creativity, and a sense of belonging.

HONORED BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS, THIS PRESTIGIOUS DESTINATION COMBINES HERITAGE, SOPHISTICATION, AND DEEPLY CONSIDERED HOSPITALITY, CREATING A SETTING WHERE COMFORT, CULTURAL PERSONALITY, AND MEANINGFUL GUEST EXPERIENCE COME TOGETHER WITH REMARKABLE EASE.

A Lush Haven within a Vibrant Capital

Few city hotels offer such a striking sense of openness and calm. Set on nearly 100 acres of landscaped gardens, InterContinental Riyadh provides an environment that feels distant from the bustle while remaining close to the city’s defining landmarks, including Kingdom Tower, Al Diriyah, and the National Museum of Saudi Arabia. This balance of convenience and tranquility defines the hotel’s character, presenting a rare combination of natural serenity, spacious surroundings, and city accessibility. It is a setting where greenery softens the skyline, and every pathway invites guests to slow down, unwind, and take in the atmosphere.

Living Spaces Designed for Rest and Character

With 274 rooms across six floors, the hotel places emphasis on comfort layered with refined Arabian influence. The interiors feel welcoming rather than theatrical, comfortable rather than excessive, creating personal retreats tailored for rest, privacy, and relaxation. A multilingual team fluent in Arabic, English, Dutch, Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, and Sinhala supports an internationally attuned guest environment. Details such as complimentary filtered water, connecting room options, prayer mats, attentive housekeeping, and practical in-room conveniences reflect the hotel’s focus on anticipating needs rather than merely responding to them, shaping a stay that feels both luxurious and naturally accommodating.

Leisure, Wellness, and Experiences Beyond Expectation

InterContinental Riyadh distinguishes itself through experiences that extend well beyond traditional hotel leisure. Guests can unwind at one

of Riyadh’s most impressive outdoor swimming pools, thoughtfully temperature-controlled with both heating and cooling systems to ensure year-round comfort beneath expansive skies. Meanwhile, the nine-hole golf course provides a refreshing recreational escape set within lush green surroundings.

Tennis courts, a bowling club, spa facilities, a modern fitness center, and four onsite dining venues create a setting where activity, indulgence, and relaxation coexist seamlessly. Whether traveling for business, family time, or personal retreat, guests are encouraged to enjoy experiences that feel engaging, restorative, and genuinely memorable.

A Leader in Accessibility and Guest Consideration

Accessibility stands as a defining strength of the hotel’s design philosophy. ADA-compliant guestrooms, thoughtfully planned access routes, elevators meeting accessibility standards, adapted room features, accessible parking, and intuitive public facilities illustrate a comprehensive commitment to inclusivity. From public areas to private spaces, every aspect is created to welcome guests with dignity, confidence, and comfort. This attention to detail ensures that luxury is not exclusive but genuinely available to all.

Hospitality with Intention and Character

What truly distinguishes InterContinental Riyadh is its approach to human connection. Personalized greetings, attentive service, and carefully curated gestures give each stay a distinctive sense of belonging. Guided by pillars centered on Quality, Service, Guest Experience, High Maintenance excellence, and True Hospitality, the hotel operates with purpose and sincerity. Special occasions are celebrated with care, business stays are supported with precision, and leisure visits are enhanced by thoughtful touches that elevate the entire experience.

A Continuing Benchmark in Saudi Arabian Luxury Hospitality

Recognized with multiple regional and international accolades in recent years, InterContinental Riyadh continues to strengthen its standing as one of Saudi Arabia’s most respected luxury destinations. It represents more than accommodation; it embodies cultural richness, contemporary comfort, and a refined interpretation of The InterContinental Life. With its setting, service ethos, amenities, and atmosphere, the hotel delivers a distinguished hospitality experience that resonates long after departure.

MS. SAMORNPUN SOMNAM

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

KEEMALA IS A VISIONARY PHUKET RESORT THAT OFFERS IMAGINATIVE DESIGN, RAINFOREST SURROUNDINGS, AND A WELLNESS-CENTERED PHILOSOPHY TO CREATE A SANCTUARY FOR REST, REFLECTION, AND EXPLORATION.

Its iconic accommodations, from Clay Pool Cottages to striking Bird’s Nest Pool Villas, draw travelers seeking meaningful, immersive experiences rooted in nature and comfort. Complemented by personalized service, a nature-led wellness approach, and a strong storytelling identity, Keemala has earned global recognition, including a place among Luxury Lifestyle Awards’ TOP 100 Hotels & Resorts of the World 2025.

Born and raised in Phuket, Ms. Samornpun Somnam brings an authentic connection to her home island that continues to shape her leadership. Guided by strong family values and gratitude for the generations before her, she blends upbringing, education, creativity, and heartfelt ties to Phuket into her work.

Today, she plays a key role in leading both The Kee Resort & Spa and Keemala, infusing innovation, cultural insight, and emotional intelligence into every guest experience.

Guiding the conversation is Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce and long-time head of the Luxury Lifestyle Awards.

Alexander Chetchikov: Congratulations, Ms. Somnam, for securing a spot in our TOP 100 Hotels & Resorts for 2025! Keemala is known for its distinctive architectural storytelling. Why did you feel it was important to weave cultural narratives into the design?

SS: Thank you so much. Keemala was born from my family’s wish to create a place that truly reflects the heart of Phuket, not only the beaches people know, but also the culture, spirituality, and nature we grew up with. Being born and raised

here, I’ve always felt deeply connected to the island and its stories. That’s why Keemala became a sanctuary where guests can feel the true spirit of Phuket, embraced by nature, and experience wellness in a way that feels gentle, genuine, and inspired by the forest around us.

AC: How do your family values and belief in gratitude shape the way you lead and make decisions within the resort?

SS: Gratitude is at the heart of everything we do. As a familyrun property, we believe deeply in humility, respect, and caring for people. These values guide my leadership from empowering our team to listening to guests with sincerity. When decisions come from gratitude, they naturally support kindness, quality, and long-term sustainability.

AC: What personal philosophy or guiding principle has had the greatest impact on your leadership journey within the hospitality industry?

SS: I live by the principle of “creating meaningful impact.” Whether for guests, colleagues, or the community, I believe hospitality should uplift people. When we lead with intention and authenticity, we create experiences that stay in people’s hearts long after they leave.

Alexander Chetchikov: Wellness plays a significant role in Keemala’s identity. How do you approach developing wellness programs that feel both contemporary and connected to the local environment?

SS: We focus on blending ancient wisdom with modern techniques. Our programs draw from Thai healing traditions,

mindfulness practices, and nature-based therapies, while also integrating contemporary wellness approaches. The goal is to create experiences that feel grounded in Phuket’s natural rhythm yet relevant to the needs of today’s travelers.

AC: Many guests praise Keemala for its sense of privacy and tranquility. What strategies help maintain that atmosphere as the resort continues to grow in popularity?

SS: TWe design every element from villa layouts to landscaping with privacy in mind. Our service style is intuitive yet unobtrusive, allowing guests to feel cared for without ever feeling interrupted.

AC: Sustainability and responsible tourism are increasingly important in Phuket. How does Keemala contribute to protecting the environment and supporting the local community?

SS: Sustainability has been our foundation since day one. We minimize waste, support local farmers, reduce plastic, and operate with strong energy-saving principles. Equally important is our commitment to the community, from preserving local culture to supporting education and animal welfare. We see sustainability as a responsibility, not a trend.

AC: And finally, what excites you most about the future of Keemala and Phuket’s evolving hospitality landscape?

SS: Phuket is entering a new era where authenticity, wellness, and sustainability matter more than ever. I’m excited for Keemala to continue leading in these areas, offering experiences that are meaningful, imaginative, and nourishing. The future holds many opportunities to innovate while staying true to our essence.

CRAFTING MEMORY-DRIVEN STAYS AT KIEVITS KROON GAUTENG WINE ESTATE

JUST OUTSIDE PRETORIA, GUESTS FIND A PROPERTY THAT BLENDS HERITAGE, CHARACTER, AND THOUGHTFUL DESIGN. KIEVITS KROON GAUTENG WINE ESTATE ENTERS THE NARRATIVE AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 HOTELS AND RESORTS OF THE WORLD, RECOGNISED BY THE PRESTIGE OF LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS. LONG KNOWN AS THE WINELANDS IN GAUTENG, THE ESTATE CONTINUES TO REFINE ITS IDENTITY AS BOTH A PEACEFUL ESCAPE AND A DESTINATION ROOTED IN CRAFTSMANSHIP.

A Country Estate Defined by Character

Established in 1996, the 16-hectare estate is shaped by Cape Dutch architectural influences, manicured lawns, sculpted rose beds, and treelined pathways that frame its notable Manor House.

The estate houses a combination of 142 rooms and suites, a library bar, two restaurants, expansive walk-in wine cellars featuring a multi award-winning wine list, a full wellness spa with thermae facilities, various indoor and outdoor pools, and several purpose-built venues for banquets, events, and corporate meetings. Less than an hour from Sandton, the setting feels expansive and encourages guests to disconnect from city pace without leaving the province.

Estate Layout Designed for Flow

The Manor House forms the estate’s central point. It anchors the library bar and the fine dining Granita Signature Restaurant, supported by an adjoining wine cellar. Beyond the Manor House, the sparkling lap pool and heated vitality pool guide guests toward the main restaurant, Kingsley, which also houses the Lord Charles dining and events venue.

On the northern side, the Conference Centre, Winelands Spa, De Kasteel function hall, and the De Kroon Pavilion Solar Plant stand as independent facilities, intentionally separated to maintain a sense of calm for leisure guests. Majority of the accommodation occupies the southern portion of the grounds, creating a natural divide that enables privacy, easy circulation, and a sense of place.

Luxury That Connects Emotionally

The estate’s approach to luxury rests on the idea of meaningful connection. Rather than relying on formulaic gestures, the team focuses on shaping emotional touchpoints. Candlelit dinners beneath the property’s celebrated De Kroon Tree of Grace and curated picnic experiences are crafted with care, inviting guests into moments that feel personal rather than staged.

Every detail is designed to linger in memory. Whether a stay revolves around relaxation, romance, or celebration, the estate seeks to create an atmosphere where guests feel consistently acknowledged and engaged.

Personalized Stays Shaped Around the Guest

Personalization informs the estate’s entire service philosophy. From celebratory messages created for special occasions to customized menus prepared for individual preferences, the focus is on anticipating needs rather than simply responding to them.

The team approaches every stay as an opportunity to tailor experiences that reflect each guest’s intentions for their visit. This consistent attention to detail helps the estate stand out as one of Pretoria’s most recognized locations for romantic getaways, spa retreats, and milestone events.

Features That Set the Estate Apart

Uniqueness is present in both tangible features and the property’s broader vision. Guests encounter walk-in wine cellars, an expansive spa with sought-after hydrotherapy facilities, and architecture that evokes the Cape Winelands while remaining firmly rooted in Gauteng. The estate’s vineyard further elevates its identity, where a variety of cultivars are nurtured on the grounds. This integration of environment and hospitality reinforces the estate as a place where cultural expression, relaxation, and craftsmanship coexist.

A Commitment to Sustainability

The property is committed to reducing their environmental impact and building towards a future of sustainable hospitality. The estate features a dedicated solar plant that has reduced their reliance on coalpowered electricity. They also have active recycling programmes, environmental representatives, an on-site water treatment plant, and composting units. Additionally, there are future plans in place to further enhance their ability to provide luxury experiences with a reduced impact on the environment.

This long-term commitment reinforces the estate’s belief that hospitality and sustainability are connected, and that impact should extend into all areas of the property.

LE MÉRIDIEN BANGKOK’S CREATIVE SPIRIT REDEFINES THE SILOM EXPERIENCE

IN THE HEART OF SILOM’S ENERGETIC RHYTHM, VISITORS DISCOVER LE MÉRIDIEN BANGKOK, HONORED AMONG THE TOP 100 HOTELS AND RESORTS OF THE WORLD BY LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS. ITS RENEWED DESIGN IDENTITY AND THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO HOSPITALITY POSITION

THE PROPERTY AS A STANDOUT URBAN RETREAT FOR TRAVELERS SEEKING ARTFUL CHARACTER, CULTURAL PROXIMITY, AND MODERN COMFORT WITHIN ONE OF BANGKOK’S MOST DYNAMIC DISTRICTS.

A Fresh Perspective on Bangkok Living

The hotel’s transformation introduces vivid layers of personality, beginning with its new-look lobby. Here, the playful I-Jud sculpture greets guests with a sense of curiosity that echoes throughout the spaces. The Lobby and Latitude 13 act as creative extensions of the streets just beyond the entrance, where curated artworks reinterpret Bangkok’s vibrancy through contemporary expression. This interplay of art and locality sets the tone for a stay centered on immersion rather than observation.

Beyond the lobby, guests are steps away from Patpong Night Market, Samyan Mitrtown, and transport links including Sala Daeng BTS and Sam Yan MRT. Whether travelers are here for exploration, business, or celebration, their surroundings combine convenience with a compelling sense of place.

Expansive Family Comfort in the Heart of the City

Family travel is elevated with spacious accommodations ranging from 114 to 250 square meters. The hotel’s Family Rooms offer carefully segmented spaces that foster flexibility for groups of all sizes. Cribs and extra beds can be arranged, and halal-friendly dining options ensure inclusive comfort. Parents seeking elevated privacy can choose the Family Suite, where a roomy bedroom, living area, and soaking tub create a well-rounded sanctuary.

At the top tier, the Family Presidential Suite spans 250 square meters and features multiple bedrooms alongside oversized living and dining areas. Its generous layout is designed for families who want to stay connected while enjoying ample personal space.

Residential-Style Refinement for Couples and Business Travelers

For guests who value privacy and thoughtful functionality, the Presidential Suite provides a refined setting of 165 square meters. Elegant living and dining rooms, a dedicated workspace, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub establish a residential atmosphere ideal for extended stays, high-level business trips, or intimate escapes.

Dynamic Culinary and Social Experiences

Dining at the hotel embraces creativity and global influences. The reconceptualized Rolling Ribs Brew Bar & BBQ brings Memphisstyle smokehouse craft to Bangkok, while Tempo blends Thai warmth with contemporary cosmopolitan flair. With two bar & restaurants, each venue offers its own sensory identity, enriched by inventive mixology and engaging service.

On the 24th floor, the Le Meridien Club Lounge offers five daily culinary presentations alongside panoramic views and personalized attention, making it a favored space for both leisure and working travelers.

A Lifestyle Floor Dedicated to Well-Being

The sixth floor redefines wellness as a lifestyle philosophy rather than a simple amenity. Guests can swim while overlooking the Mahanakhon building, enjoy inventive poolside dishes at Plunge Bar, or pursue fitness goals in the Matrix-equipped gym surrounded by sweeping city views. The onsen-style bathing facility adds another compelling dimension, with mineral-rich water crafted using formulas that change with the seasons, creating a relaxing environment grounded in Japanese tradition.

At the spa, treatments are designed to awaken the senses and offer an escape from Bangkok’s fast pace, completing a holistic approach that integrates movement, rest, and reflection.

Tailored Services for Memorable Occasions

For weddings, corporate gatherings, or milestone celebrations, the hotel provides a ballroom with a nine-meter ceiling and state-ofthe-art meeting rooms. Its halal-friendly positioning broadens accessibility for diverse groups, while limousine services and chauffeured vehicles support seamless transportation arrangements. Whether guests arrive for discovery, business, or family time, the hotel offers a sanctuary that blends creativity, comfort, and cultural connectivity.

SAUDI ARABIA NOFA RIYADH: A PRIVATE RESORT EXPERIENCE

SHAPING MODERN LUXURY IN SAUDI ARABIA

NOFA RIYADH, A RADISSON COLLECTION RESORT, REPRESENTS A DISTINCTIVE CHAPTER IN SAUDI ARABIA’S EVOLVING LUXURY HOSPITALITY LANDSCAPE. SELECTED AMONG LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS’ TOP 100 HOTELS & RESORTS OF THE WORLD FOR 2025, THE RESORT REFLECTS A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED APPROACH TO EXPERIENTIAL TRAVEL, ONE THAT PRIORITIZES PRIVACY, SPACE, AND A STRONG SENSE OF PLACE. OPENED IN 2018, THE PROPERTY IS PRIVATELY OWNED BY PRINCE SULTAN BIN SAUD AL KABEER AND OPERATES UNDER THE RADISSON COLLECTION BRAND, BRINGING AN INTERNATIONAL HOSPITALITY STANDARD TO A SETTING UNLIKE ANY OTHER IN THE REGION.

Rather than following the conventions of an urban luxury resort, Nofa Riyadh is conceived as an expansive private retreat. Its defining feature is the rare contrast it offers: a natural environment shaped by desert landscapes, green lawns, lakes, and roaming wildlife, combined with the structure and service consistency expected from a fivestar international brand. The result is a resort experience that feels intentionally removed from routine, yet carefully managed in every detail.

Accommodation at Nofa Riyadh centers on private villas, each designed to provide guests with a high degree of seclusion. Villas are arranged across the property to ensure space and quiet, with individual gardens and private pools that allow guests to remain entirely within their own environment if they choose. Interiors are spacious and functional, favoring comfort and practicality while incorporating African-inspired design elements that echo the resort’s broader thematic identity. This villa-based model makes the resort particularly appealing to families, long-stay guests, and travelers who value discretion.

Dining at the resort is positioned as an integral part of the overall stay rather than a standalone attraction. Guests have access to multiple on-site dining venues offering a range of international and regional options, with an emphasis on quality ingredients and relaxed service.

Meals are designed to fit naturally into the rhythm of the resort, whether enjoyed as part of a full day on property or as a quieter, private experience within the villa setting. The dining program complements the resort’s atmosphere, favoring substance and consistency over theatrical presentation.

Wellness and leisure are equally central to the guest experience. The resort spa offers a menu of treatments designed for restoration and relaxation, providing a calm counterbalance to the surrounding desert environment. Beyond the spa, guests can access a variety of recreational options, including a private cinema, bowling facilities, and outdoor activities suited to both adults and children. These amenities are created to encourage longer stays and repeat visits, allowing guests to shape their experience according to mood and preference.

What clearly differentiates Nofa Riyadh is its approach to activities and engagement. Guests may choose to remain entirely within the comfort of their villa, or explore a more active side of the resort through curated experiences such as horseback riding and desert safaris. Wildlife encounters and open landscapes add an educational and experiential dimension that is rare in luxury hospitality within the region. This balance between tranquility and adventure is a defining element of the resort’s identity.

Personalization plays a meaningful role in daily operations. As part of the Radisson Collection, the resort benefits from structured service standards while maintaining flexibility in delivery. Staff are trained to recognize individual preferences and adapt recommendations accordingly, whether that involves activity planning, dining arrangements, or in-villa services. This attention to individual needs enhances the sense of ease that guests experience throughout their stay.

Leadership under General Manager Anna-Marie Dowling has focused on maintaining consistency while reinforcing the resort’s unique positioning. The property has also received recognition beyond this year’s TOP 100 selection, including acknowledgment from the World Luxury Hotel Awards, reinforcing its credibility within the international hospitality sector.

Nofa Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Resort, does not rely on excess or spectacle to define luxury. Instead, it offers space, privacy, and the freedom to experience Saudi Arabia’s natural environment in a controlled, thoughtfully designed setting. Its inclusion among the TOP 100 Hotels & Resorts of the World for 2025 reflects a hospitality concept that resonates with today’s luxury traveler, one that values authenticity, comfort, and meaningful choice.

SITUATED IN NHA TRANG, VIETNAM, POTIQUE HOTEL HAS EARNED ITS SPOT AMONG LUXURY LIFESTYLE AWARDS’ TOP 100 HOTELS & RESORTS OF THE WORLD FOR 2025, RECOGNIZED FOR ITS DISTINCTIVE BLEND OF THOUGHTFUL DESIGN, PERSONALIZED SERVICE, AND IMMERSIVE LOCALE EXPERIENCES.

Location & Arrival

Located at 22 Hung Vuong Street in the vibrant coastal city of Nha Trang, Potique Hotel offers guests immediate access to the city’s famed sandy beaches, lively markets, and cultural landmarks. Its central position makes it equally suited for leisure travelers seeking to explore local attractions and business guests requiring convenient urban access.

Guests have consistently praised the rooms for their spaciousness, cleanliness, and comfort, contributing to excellent review scores across platforms.

Dining Experiences

The culinary offerings at Potique Hotel reflect a thoughtful combination of Vietnamese tradition and global flavors. The property features multiple on-site venues, including:

• Indochine Restaurant, which fuses classic Asian tastes with French influences.

• The Potique Café and Blue Bar, ideal for lighter fare, coffee, and crafted beverages.

• A Cigar Bar and Club Lounge for relaxed evenings.

These dining spaces are designed to be social hubs as much as culinary destinations, with menus that evolve with seasons and local availability. The blend of traditional and international dishes ensures that guests experience the diversity of Vietnam’s culinary landscape.

Wellness & Recreation

A defining feature of Potique Hotel is its wellness and recreational amenities. The rooftop boasts two infinity pools, providing panoramic views over Nha Trang — one of which is reserved for adults.

The SEN Spa & Wellness center draws on both traditional materiality and contemporary practice. Treatments combine centuries-old therapeutic approaches with modern techniques, offered in serene spaces that foreground natural materials and thoughtful design. A fully equipped gym supports personalized fitness routines.

Beyond the hotel’s walls, guests can explore the city’s beaches, local shops, and cultural attractions with ease, making Potique a balanced choice for both activity and relaxation.

Events & Services

Potique Hotel extends its appeal beyond leisure stays with versatile meeting and event venues. These spaces are thoughtfully designed with high ceilings and professional sound and lighting systems, suitable for business meetings, social gatherings, and personal celebrations.

Staff attentiveness is a recurring highlight in guest reviews. With around-the-clock service, concierge assistance, and personalized touches — from remembering beverage preferences to offering thoughtful guidance on local experiences — the hotel places emphasis on guest comfort and a high standard of service throughout a stay.

Guest Feedback & Reputation

Potique Hotel holds top rankings on major travel platforms, often rated #1 of all hotels in Nha Trang with consistently high scores for location, service, and facilities. Guest reviews frequently commend the hotel’s friendly staff, pristine rooms, excellent breakfast offerings, and proximity to the beach and city attractions.

Many guests describe their stays in terms that reflect a sense of thoughtful hospitality and memorable experiences, from relaxing at the infinity pool to indulging in the local dining scene or discovering the city’s cultural offerings.

Conclusion

As a TOP 100 Hotels & Resorts of the World 2025 honoree, Potique Hotel delivers an experience rooted in place, offering guests a refined yet approachable expression of luxury. Its strategic coastal setting, elevated service, well-curated amenities, and regional-inspired design make it a compelling choice for travelers seeking depth and comfort in one of Vietnam’s most dynamic cities.

Located on Sukhumvit 24, close to BTS Phrom Phong and Emporium yet tucked away from the district’s energy, SILQ gives guests rare access to both convenience and quiet.

Designed Around the Guest

Every experience at SILQ Hotel and Residence reflects the philosophy of personalized comfort. The scent that welcomes guests in the lobby, the warmth of the lighting, and the soft textures that shape each space are all intentionally curated to create a sense of home. Mornings often begin with natural light streaming across the suites, a quiet coffee by the pool, or a serene moment in the onsen before the pulse of Bangkok begins.

The team takes pride in learning what matters most to each guest. Preferences are remembered, routines anticipated, and small details handled with care. Whether it is preparing the room exactly as preferred or crafting a breakfast experience that feels familiar, the service is sincere, attentive, and refreshingly relaxed.

A Unique Blend of Sophistication and Ease

What distinguishes SILQ Hotel and Residence is its balance of refined hotel living and intimate residential comfort. It does not try to be grand. Instead, it prefers to be meaningful. Contemporary design is softened by a sense of privacy, and the service is confident yet never intrusive.

While many luxury hotels aim for scale, SILQ chooses intention. Its spaces are modern, serene, and harmoniously connected. Every area encourages reflection and calm. Guests often describe it as a place where the city feels close yet distant enough to breathe.

Guided by Five Pillars of Modern Luxury

SILQ’s identity is shaped by five core pillars: Personalized Comfort, Modern Serenity, Elevated Living, Thoughtful Connection, and City Convenience, paired with Private Tranquility. These principles influence every decision, from design evolution to service development.

Staying current in the luxury landscape comes through listening to guests, incorporating contemporary design elements, integrating

smart digital touchpoints, collaborating with lifestyle experts, and growing sustainably. Every enhancement is approached with intention rather than trend.

The Ideal SILQ Experience

An ideal stay at SILQ is effortless. Days begin slowly, with guests enjoying the morning sun by the salted swimming pool overlooking Bangkok’s skyline, restoring balance in the state-of-the-art crosstraining gym, or retreating to a private Japanese-style onsen for quiet reflection. As the day unfolds, dining becomes part of the experience—whether savoring thoughtfully crafted European, Indian and Thai flavors at Weaver, unwinding with signature cocktails inspired by the silk road thematic and DJ-led evenings at The White Mulberry bar, or enjoying relaxed poolside cocktails and light bites at The Qlub Lounge. Whether visiting for business or leisure, short trips or extended stays, the property maintains a natural sense of balance that allows guests to feel instantly at ease.

A Distinct Approach to Hospitality

SILQ stands apart through its genuine warmth, its personal attention to detail, and its commitment to creating an environment where guests feel at home. It blends the best of boutique hospitality with the softness and refinement inspired by the fabric that gave the hotel its name. Here, every stay feels memorable because every moment feels considered.

POWER YOUR BUSINESS GROWTH WITH WORLD LUXURY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

IF YOU’RE IN THE BUSINESS OF LUXURY, YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING. FROM THE ELEGANCE OF YOUR PACKAGING TO THE TONE OF YOUR COMMUNICATIONS, EVERY DETAIL MATTERS. SO WHEN IT COMES TO WHO YOUR BRAND ALIGNS WITH, THE COMPANY YOU KEEP ISN’T JUST IMPORTANT—IT’S DEFINING.

Enter the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce (WLCC)—a global network built specifically for luxury brands, by luxury experts. It’s not your average business network. This is a curated community where craftsmanship meets commerce, innovation meets tradition, and bold ambition meets refined execution.

And now, it’s also the official home of the Luxury Lifestyle Awards—one of the most prestigious recognition programs in the world for excellence in luxuray. With this integration, LLA winners gain access to a deeper ecosystem of opportunities, influence, and visibility. It’s not just about the accolade; it’s about what comes next—and WLCC is what’s next.

YOU’RE NOT JUST JOINING A NETWORK—YOU’RE JOINING THE NETWORK

WLCC isn’t a numbers game. It’s about who is in the room. Think top-tier decision-makers, influential creatives, and leaders shaping the future of luxury across industries—fashion, hospitality, yachts, wine, real estate, and beyond. It’s the kind of access that opens doors you didn’t even know were there. Whether you’re seeking brand collaborations, global expansion, or just that one golden introduction, WLCC connects you with people who can move the needle.

Visibility That Actually Matters

Luxury isn’t mass. It’s selective. So is WLCC’s approach to promotion. As a member, your brand steps into the spotlight through targeted global campaigns, prestigious media features, and a presence in Luxury People Magazine, the Chamber’s official publication. It’s the right kind of attention—from the right kind of audience.Plus, with access to WLCC’s media hub, you’ll find collaboration opportunities with leading publications that understand how to elevate a brand without diluting its identity.

Stay Ahead Without Getting Lost in the Noise

The luxury sector is evolving fast—sustainability, digital transformation, and emerging markets are rewriting the rules. WLCC gives you direct access to the latest insights, trends, and strategies through expert-led webinars, executive programs, and curated workshops. Whether you’re rethinking your retail experience or exploring how AI fits into luxury storytelling, the resources here are both rich and relevant.

Your Brand Deserves to Be Recognized—Elegantly

WLCC doesn’t just hand you a certificate and send you on your way. They equip you with sophisticated tools to express your membership with subtle strength—an elegant lapel pin, a premium plaque, curated stickers, and a personalized welcome letter. It’s branding, done the luxury way. This kind of credibility speaks volumes to clients, partners, and even competitors. It says: We belong here. We are part of something bigger—and better.

The Events and Luxury Education Hub Offers Exceptional Value on Their Own

WLCC’s event calendar and Luxury Education Hub read like a who’s-who of the luxury world—executive programs in Milan and Paris, thought-leader webinars with experts like Chris Roebuck and Antonio Paraiso, and VIP gatherings in global capitals. Members enjoy priority access, discounted packages, and exclusive experiences that are as enriching as they are glamorous. These aren’t just events; they’re opportunities to be inspired, seen, and remembered.

So, What’s the Catch?

Truthfully? WLCC isn’t for everyone—and that’s the point. To qualify, you need to bring something to the table: excellence in your field, an international mindset, and a shared commitment to sustainability and innovation. This is a community of leaders, not followers. But if your brand lives and breathes luxury, if you’re looking to scale with integrity and connect with kindred brands across the globe—then WLCC might just be the strategic edge you’ve been waiting for.

BECAUSE IN LUXURY, GROWTH ISN’T JUST ABOUT SELLING MORE. IT’S ABOUT CONNECTING BETTER, COMMUNICATING SMARTER, AND POSITIONING YOURSELF EXACTLY WHERE YOUR AUDIENCE EXPECTS TO FIND YOU—AMONG THE WORLD’S BEST.
