Exciting Hotel Openings and Renovations Across the Globe
In the world of hospitality, July 2021 marks a significant period with several notable openings and renovations. Here's a roundup of some of the most exciting developments:
Africa
In Laikipia, Kenya, &BEYOND Suyian, an African safari expert's first property, is set to open in July. This exclusive retreat offers access to over 44,000 acres of wilderness on a private conservancy, providing guests with unparalleled game-drive sightings that may include rare African wild dogs, black leopards, and Grevy's zebra.
Scotland
On the island of Islay, Ardbeg House, owned by The Glenmorangie Company, is set to reopen this autumn with a fresh look, courtesy of Russell Sage Studio. The focus at Ardbeg House will be on drinking peaty, smoky, single-malt Scotch whisky. The Lochside Hotel in Bowmore, Islay, another historic property, remains a key accommodation on Islay, offering 12 guest rooms, a bar with many whiskies, and a restaurant with local seafood.
England
In London, The Zetter Bloomsbury, a third outpost from the eponymous London-centric hotel group, is scheduled to open in October. This hotel, located near the British Museum, will feature antique African and Asian artworks, Persian rugs, and 20th-century pieces.
France
Nordelaia Beaulieu, a new venture by the team behind Nordelaia Piedmont, is launching this summer in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, a coastal town in France that was once a favourite holiday spot of Queen Victoria. Set in a 1960s building overlooking the port, Nordelaia Beaulieu will have minimalist interiors, an Italian restaurant, and a rooftop terrace with Mediterranean views.
Indonesia
NIHI Rote, a second property from the original NIHI on the island of Sumba, is anticipated to open towards the end of the year. This luxury resort offers world-class surf, thatched pool villas on a white-sand beach, and Nature-based wellness.
While there is limited specific information about hotel openings in Beaulieu-sur-Mer (France), London (England), and West Timor (Indonesia) in July 2021, it's worth noting that The Zetter Bloomsbury, a third outpost from the eponymous London-centric hotel group, is scheduled to open in October.
