arch, 2016 -Experience the blissful heights of relax-
ation in East Bali with Alila Manggis where lush rice
terraces and forested hills lead up the slopes of sacred volcano
Mount Agung.
When the adventurer in you stirs, Alila Manggis also offers a series
of exclusive customised activities for you to engage in, designed to
integrate indigenous nature, traditional culture and local community.
Taking you on walks through the countryside to forests and rice ter-
races to discover local temples, away from the tourist trail. Guests
can now enjoy two newly crafted experiences, taking in some of the
area’s most pristine and untouched sights.
Pasar Agung
Just a 30-minute journey from Villa Idanna, behold Pasar Agung,
a magnificent temple that lies off the beaten track, three quarters
of the way up majestic Mount Agung. This breathtaking temple
complex serves as the sacred meeting place of Bali’s most ancient
deities – the ancestors of the Gods of Besakih – hence the name
Pasar Agung (the supreme market place.) Spared in the last erup-
tion in 1963, it was restored to new glory in 1993.
As a monument, it is staggering and rivals the Mayan temples of
Central America. Overlooking the entire island, it is surrounded by
a forest of towering ferns and pine trees and remains the most dra-
matic setting and pilgrimage site in Bali.
The stunning panorama even stretches as far as Lombok and Java,
whose volcanoes can be seen brewing on the distant horizon.
Country Walk
There’s no better way to appreciate the raw beauty of the sur-
roundings than on foot. This classic easy country walk begins just
below the Villa Idanna and weaves through the rice fields leading
directly to the extraordinary banyan tree that shades the Temple of
the Ancestors. This unmissable experience will open your eyes to
the surprising culture and traditions that remain alive today, where
farmers still till their lands with cow-driven ploughs and plant their
crops by hand, while mothers and daughters weave prized songket
textiles used in all Balinese rites of passage. Those who wish to
explore further can continue their walk following the irrigation chan-
nels that run through the rice fields.
These experiences are offered for all guests staying at either Alila
Manggis or Villa Idanna with a lunch included. The perfect escape
for those seeking passive activity and anonymity amid awe-inspiring
nature. For more information or booking, please contact the reser-
vations team at +62 363 41011 or email:

Questions answered by: Rachel Grier, Asia-
Pacific managing director, IDeaS Revenue
Solutions
How confident are you about the general state of the hotel
industry across Indonesia going forward over the next two years?
The outlook for the Indonesian hotel sector going forward is
positive, with increased diversity in hotel offerings from luxury
resorts to eco lodges that cater to customer demand across the
country, plus a maturity in the approach to operating systems
and revenue management.
Local hoteliers are well-placed to capitalise on new opportuni-
ties. Indonesia, and Bali in particular,is beginning to experience
increased interest and demand from new feeder markets like
India and China. Add to that the growth in domestic traveland
continuing strong repeat client base from markets such as
Australia, and we see direct business amplifying - giving hoteliers
more opportunity toyield.
Why should Indonesian hoteliers be using revenue management?
Given the cyclical nature of demand amongst some resort areas
in Indonesia (which sees significant fluctuations in guest num-
bers), it is important that local hoteliers understand the demand.
They canthen forecast and price as effectively and scientifically
as possible to achieve the optimal revenue position that creates
(and maximizes) a balance betweenoccupancy and rates.
What are the latest advances in revenue management and how
can they help hoteliers?
It is important that Indonesian hoteliers understand that there
is no real point deployinga revenue management system to opti-
misetheir business process, pricing and outcomes if they still
have to manually adjust and update rates every day.
Sophisticated analytics technology is now capable of aggregating
and transforming large, disparate data sets into actionable intel-
ligence for making accurate demand forecasts and strategic pric-
ing decisions. With this technology, hoteliers are starting to think
and act more holistically about their revenue strategies.
HOT | Solutions

In the coming years, we will see more and more Indonesian
hoteliers adapting to an approach to revenue management
that we call Total Revenue Performance, which is the ability to
instantly and systematically decide what business to accept
across multiple revenue streams, based on which decisions
deliver the greatest overall value to the hotel.
How does the rise of social media and online review sites impact
an Indonesian hotelier’s ability to price themselves effectively?
Social media and online reviews are important to hoteliers
no matter what market they operate in around the world. For
Indonesia,there are a large number of independent properties,
as well asregional and local brands that may not have large-
scale consumer awareness internationally; therefore social
media and reviews are key to conversion. Theability for a pro-
spective guest to research aproperty and read other guests’
experiences is critical to a hotel’ssuccess. It is one of the rea-
sons that IDeaS led the market by incorporating social media
and reputation scores into our systems last year.
How can revenue management support a hotel in a period of low
demand?
Pricing is always critical to a hotel, be that in periods of high or
low demand. Revenue managersshould have access to accurate
long range forecasts to provide early warnings if demand is
projected to be low.They are then ableto create tactical offers
or adjust rates and push these strategically through the right
channels to a maximum possible share of the demand for their-
property. This is relevant for both groups and transient booking
segments.
What are some of the common misconceptions of revenue man-
agement and what is the truth behind these misconceptions?
I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that revenue sys-
tems are for big branded 5 star hotels only. In fact, we work with
budget and midscale hotels extensively in both city and resort
locations all over the world. The other misconception is that sys-
tems are expensive - this is not the case. IDeaS has a range of
services and systems to suitevery hotel and can provide revenue
management support from less than 20cents per day per room.
Why did IDeaS choose to partner with VHP?
The Indonesian market place is very important to IDeaS, and we
recognise that local hoteliers have specific needs for their PMS,
which VHP provides very well. We are delighted to work with
the regional leading PMS provider in Indonesia, and feel that
together we can help hotels grow their revenue and success as a
result of our partnership.
What are IDeaS plans for the Indonesian hotel market?
IDeaS has worked with Indonesian hotels for over 10 years - we
now see a key opportunity in expanding more aggressively into
Indonesia through partnerships with regional brands and inde-
pendent properties through tailor-made pricing and packaging
of our solutions in conjunction with VHP.
Questions answered by:Christian Yie,
Business Development,PT. SupranusaSindata.
How confident are you about the general state of the hotel
industry across Indonesia going forward over the next two
years?
We are confident that the tourism and hotel industry in
Indonesia will continue to grow as the economy in Indonesia
diversifies and expands. Nowadays travelling has become easier
and more affordable for both local and international travellers,
so demand on hotel accommodation is growing.
There are many opportunities for Indonesian hoteliers to capi-
talise on in the coming years and many business opportunities
for investors, who can turn properties into profit centres if the
hotels are managed correctly and supported by the right tech-
nology and systems.
What are the latest PMS trends that Indonesian hoteliers should
be aware of?
Due to advancements in the technological infrastructure in
Indonesia, including improvements around high-speed internet
access for businesses, investment in new IT solutions and hard-
ware have been reduced.
Indonesian hoteliers should understand though that the wider
surrounding environment of the PMS has become more com-
plex, so PMS nowadays communicates with more and more
external systems such as Revenue Management System, Channel
Manager, Reputation Management System etc. This means that
advanced PMS solutions like our Cloud based PMS e1-VHP soft-
ware, that offers a smart and cost effective solution able to be
deployed on tablets and mobile devices, and which seamlessly
interact with these other systems, are critical.
What impact is big data having on PMS systems that Indonesian
hoteliers should be aware of?
Due to tighter competition with more and more properties,
Indonesian hoteliers should choose a data-driven PMS which
assists with operational and business decision making through
providing access to the right information and tools for correct
analysis, all of which will support a hotel achieving its revenue
target.
Why did VHP choose to partner with IDeaS?
VHP is happy to partner with IDeaS in Indonesia. We choose to
work with the company in order to help our hotel customers run
their businesses more effectively and not only to support prop-
erties in boosting their occupancy but also to maximise yield.

Louis T Collection and WIHP
Open New Doors For Chinese
Travellers
Hospitality and building solutions company Louis T Collection in
collaboration with WIHP, a digital hotel marketing company, have
launched the China Connect project for independent hotels by piloting
Hotel Ares Eiffel, a 40-room boutique property located downtown near
Paris’s most famous tower.
The hotel was chosen for its outstanding customer reputation (ranking
#32 of 1,809 hotels in Paris on TripAdvisor), and its eclectic, upscale
charm. The interiors are an emblem of the best in European design,
with furnishings by leading Italian furniture-maker Poltrona Frau,
bathrooms clad in Versace tiles, and a range of colour palettes: crim-
son, teal, gold, silver; used to make each abode distinct.
The China Connect project aims to give hotels a total solution. The
tailored travel content, created for Chinese travellers, goes beyond
introducing the hotel to include advice on where to shop, eat (covering
both local and Chinese restaurants), and what to do nearby, as well as
practical information from visas to transportation and tax refunds.
The strategy also helps hotels with SEO in China, social media pres-
ence and advertisements on WeChat and Weibo (among China’s most
popular social media networks), all catered to target Chinese leisure
travellers and mobile users. Chinese visitors to the Louis T site can
then book direct with the hotel using a booking engine in their native
tongue.

Ares Eiffel is the first of several hotels located in key gateway cities in Europe and U.S.
destinations, favoured by Chinese long haul travellers, that will be added to Louis T
Collection’s China Connect portal.

Grant Healy, co-founder and CEO at Louis T
Louis T Collection and WIHP Open New Doors For Chinese Travellers
ouis T Collection and WIHP Open New Doors For
Chinese Travellers New platform provides independent
hotels with Chinese digital marketing tool kit
SINGAPORE - As Chinese travellers leave the comfort
zone of the group tour for do-it-yourself exploration, a new partnership
between a fledgling hotel group and a marketing services company is
pointing the way.In January, Louis T Collection (Louis T), and WIHP
(World Independent Hotels Promotion) launched a new initiative that
connects a curated collection of independent hotels with individual
Chinese travellers.
The portal in the Louis T website opens the door on essential Chinese
language content about a selection of WIHP hotels, including details
on rooms and suites, facilities and each property’s location. More than
that, visitors to the site will have access to a bounty of travel advice
specifically tailored to the Chinese market, covering visa information,
seasonality, currencies, where to visit, to shop etc, through the Plan
Your Trip component. Customers can then book direct with the hotel,
using a Chinese booking engine.
L
This concept has been tested at Louis T’s first hotel, Mantra
Samui Resort in Koh Samui Thailand and Plan Your Trip is the
site’s most visited page.
Several hotels located in key gateway cities in Europe and
U.S. destinations favoured by Chinese long haul travellers will
be moved into the collection and more hotels will be added as
demand increases.
“We have a number of clients in Europe and the U.S. interested
in expanding their reach to the Chinese FIT market but don’t have
the in-house expertise from both language and cultural aspects,”
said Vincent Ramelli, President and CEO at WIHP. “Both Grant
and I believe that this partnership will provide our hotel clients
with a simple and effective way of reaching what has become the
largest outbound travel market in the world.”
Customers will be able to find and book hotels of the Collection on
www.louistcollection.com.
“Though Chinese is by far the world’s most spoken
language, Chinese travellers, most of the time, still
have to navigate in English online when it comes
to travel to overseas. Nowadays I see how my
Chinese friends who travel frequently, including
everyone on the Louis T team in China, search
and book online.” said Grant Healy, co-founder
and CEO at Louis T. “We see a great opportunity in
letting independent hotels around the world share
their unique stories to the rapidly growing Chinese
outbound market.

Iran, the second-largest nation in the Middle East, has hammered out an investment package worth $25 billion to revitalize its tourism which has
been under the shadow of its sprawling petroleum industry. The future opportunities within Iran’s hotel and tourism industry are substantial,
however with a limited supply of hotels operating in key cities, particularly Tehran, the lifting of sanctions is expected to set off a modern day
‘Gold Rush’as developers and operators race to secure their position in one of the world’s largest untapped markets.
Tourism currently only accounts for around 2% of Iran’s GDP. However, with a population of approximately 80 million people, there is huge po-
tential for growth in both domestic and international travel to Iran.
The Iran Hotel Expansion & Development Summit will bring together local and international hotel stakeholders; hotel chains, investors, develop-
ers, architects and construction companies as well as hospitality institutions, government officials, finance institutes, consultants and technology
providers to discuss new developments and ways to realize the potential hotel projects in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

IFFINA FURNITURE INDONESIA
&
MOZAIK INDONESIA 2016

“Industri furnitur memiliki kepelikan tersendiri, karena produk-
produk yang dihasilkan mayoritas berbahan dasar kayu
yang notabene bersumber dari pohon/ hutan. 97% anggota
ASMINDO telah memiliki Sistem Verifikasi dan Legalitas Kayu
(SVLK), sisanya sedang proses perizinan ataupun anggota yang
hanya bermain di pasar lokal (tidak aktif untuk ekspor). Bahkan,
perusahaan-perusahaan industri furnitur yang cukup besar
turut menanam pohon dan memiliki hutan sendiri sehingga
tidak merusak lingkungan.”
Di hari terakhir, IFFINA Furniture Indonesia & Mozaik Indonesia
2016 menghadirkan berbagai kegiatan yang menarik pen-
gunjung di hari ini, seperti Seminar By Adi Indorona, Rattan
in Design by Pirnas, Klinik Desain Mebel, Workshop Bambu
By Akademi Bambu Nusantara dan Seminar How to Sell Your
Product on Digital Industry by bobobobo.com.
Tentang IFFINA Furniture Indonesia
Pameran IFFINA Furniture Indonesia merupakan new con-
cept dari Indonesia International Furniture and Craft Fair

elenggara menghadirkan energi dan konsep baru bersama
Traya Indonesia untuk membuat pandangan dan harapan baru
bagi exhibitor furnitur asing dan juga domestik.
Tentang Mozaik Indonesia
Mozaik Indonesia adalah sebuah Pameran bagi perdagangan

gkan ASMINDO dan Traya Indonesia semakin dekat untuk
dicapai. Total buyers sampai dengan kemarin (Sabtu, 12 Maret

Ketua Badan Ekonomi Kreatif, Bapak Triawan Munaf kemarin
berkunjung ke IFFINA Furniture Indonesia & Mozaik Indonesia
2016 serta menyempatkan diri untuk berinteraksi dengan
para desainer dan pengrajin yang ikut serta. Beliau menun-
jukkan kekaguman dan penghargaan kepada penyelenggara
atas inisiatifnya dalam mengkolaborasikan desainer dengan
pengusaha industri furnitur dan kerajinan Indonesia sehingga
negara kita dapat semakin harum namanya di mancanegara.
Diana Nazir, Yayasan Art+Design Indonesia dan Kurator Area
Trend Mozaik Indonesia mengatakan, “Mozaik Indonesia
2016 tidak hanya menjadi ajang eksibisi tetapi juga sebagai
ajang belajar-mengajar dan proses mengkoneksikan desain
yang bersifat kreatif dengan industri yang bersifat komersil.
Kami menghadirkan desainer lokal baik yang sudah berkibar
di mancanegara seperti Saniharto dan Hadiprana maupun
desainer pemula berpotensi dengan konsep sejarah desain
sampai dengan trend 2017 yang berdampingan secara har-
monis dengan furnitur dan kerajinan di IFFINA Furniture
Indonesia.” Komitmen Terhadap Lingkungan Legalitas kayu
merupakan salah satu isu sensitif dalam industri furnitur dan
kerajinan Indonesia, terutama bagi buyers dari negara-negara
besar.
Sebagai pameran yang berfokus pada pasar B2B
Internasional, IFFINA Furniture Indonesia & Mozaik Indonesia
2016 juga berkomitmen penuh dengan menghadirkan
produk-produk yang legal dan ramah lingkungan. Pameran

Hotelier Indonesia Interview
Antidote Bar - JW Marriott Hanoi
An Interview with Mixologist / Bar Manager
Rocky Cuong
For many frequent travellers, a quality lounge
serving signature cocktails is a highly desired
feature wthin a hotel. The lounge and its
quality service provide an opportunity for
the weary traveller to unwind after a hectic
day.
We have been fortunate to spend time
at the Antidote Bar at the JW Marriott in
Hanoi and catch-up with Rocky Cuong, the
property’s Bar Manager and mixologist.
CUONG
HOT | team

[HI] Could you give us a bit of a background on your history in night-
clubs? How did you end up as Bar Manager at the JW Marriott?
[RC] I had opportunity to work at Rooftop Bar and Fuse Club, two of the
most popular night bars and clubs in Hanoi. They are Hip-hop night clubs,
attracting young guests. Then I started my career at JW Marriott Hanoi as
Assistant Bar Manager, gained promotion and here I am!
[HI] Is there a difference managing a standard nightclub and one at a
5-star hotel?
[RC] There is a big difference. Working in a bar/night club at 5-star hotel, I
need to take care of each guest, ensuring total satisfaction. Everything must
be perfect, the cocktail quality, service, etc. In a standard night club, the top
priority is make the crowd crazy with music, everything else is complement.
[HI] What are the unique features of Antidote? What brings customers
in?
[RC] Drawing inspiration from the modern sophistication, Antidote Bar is styl-
ish with marble and black wood interior design scheme and direct view over
the beautiful lake.
The bar offers a wide range of seating; you can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere
in your own private booth, lounge on a sofa or sit at the bar where the tal-
ented mixologists will fix you up a classic cocktail or one of their signatures.
As well as a carefully selected wine and spirit list, Antidote is home to over 80
whiskies – one of the most extensive collections in Vietnam. The interactive
environment combined with intuitive service and resident DJs spinning beats
throughout the weekend, Antidote Bar is a perfect place for relaxation, fine
conversation and luxury indulge.
[HI] How do the customers at Marriott’s Antidote Bar differ from those
at other nightclubs?
[RC] They are a little more mature compared to the clubs down town and
have solid beverage knowledge. They know what they like to drink!
[HI] What involvement do you have in creating new cocktails?
[RC] We work together as a team to come up with ideas then work on the
specs. As much as possible we try to give a local touch to classics.
[HI] What are your favorite signature drink selections from the Antidote
menu, and what goes into making them?
[RC] I really enjoy “Breakfast in Antidote”. It’s a refreshing and fruity cocktail
mixing from local oranges and Earl Grey tea. To make the best “Breakfast
in Antidote” we need to infuse the exact amount of Earl Grey Tea into the
Belvedere for one hour. Longer than 1 hour, it will be over infuses and the
cocktail will have bitter taste. Under infuse we can’t feel the tea flavor.
[HI] What do you enjoy most about your job?
[RC] Seeing customers smile and enjoy their drinks. Simple.
[HI] What qualities do you think a successful hotel Bar Manager should
have?
[RC] First and foremost you need passion. Throw in some creativity, ability to
work in a large team and a little patience and you’re half way there. Working
in hotels offers you much great opportunities than stand-alone bars so if you
are driven then you have the chance to grow your career much quicker than
may otherwise be possible.
Hotelier Indonesia would like to thank Rocky for taking time to speak with us.

La PlumePress Club
Set in an astonishing decor inspired
by the design of legendary Long Bien
bridge, La Plume is fast becoming
a hot spot in the historical part of
Hanoi for bistro-style lunch and din-
ner, all day café and evening drinks.
The name “La Plume” originates
from the quill pen that people in
ancient times used to write beautiful
literary works.
It also recalls a time in the past
where journalists, writers and pho-
tographers from all walks of life
gathered to exchange their experi-
ences and the latest news.
Left as a hint of such times, famous
quotes in different languages from
many journalists and writers from
all over the world are embedded in
details of the decoration.
Less hidden is a massive central
bar counter under the metal ceiling
inspired by Long Bien bridge, creat-
ing an impressive setting for a stroll
along the French colonial times in
Hanoi.
Starting with the hands of writers,
La Plume, along with its neighbour-
ing La Table du Chef restaurant, is
designed as a platform of recognition
to the creation of the hand gesture.
As such, the lounge exhibits works
from top local craftsmen, artists,
chefs, as well as winemakers. To this
end,
La Plume not only carries 450 refer-
ences on its wine list, majority of
which is French wines, from good
to top labels, but also cultivates
relationships with the owners and
winemakers of the world by display-
ing their name alongside their wines
on its list.
La Plume is also the place
for the best cocktails in
town perfected by world
champion Master Mixologist
Pham Tien Tiep.

La Plume Bar & Lounge Press Club
12 Ly Dao Thanh corner of 59A Ly Thai To Hoan Kiem, Hanoi
In what is intended to be a memorable environment,
La Plume displays an authentic tapas menu prepared
by our Executive Chef Mr. Son for all day dining, with
organic local and imported products. La Plume is also
the place for the best cocktails in town perfected by
world champion Master Mixologist Pham Tien Tiep.
Renowned in the country and very at ease with cus-
tomers, Tiep will share with you his deep knowledge of
balance, flavors and latest trends. He is bringing to La
Plume a true mixology culture which awakens all your
senses.
Each cocktail at La Plume isn’t simply a sophisticated
mixed drink but it is the reflection of a story designed
to touch your heart. The signature “Full Moon” cock-
tail was inspired by a tale of his grand-mother about
a little girl who dreamed to enjoy the delicious sweet
and sour fish soup prepared by her late mother in a
full moon night. Also lost his mother at very young age,
Tiep relates himself to this little girl and “Full Moon”
is his expression of love and remembrance for his late
mother.
“Full Moon” cocktail is flavored
with herbs and spices that make
the sweet and sour fish soup and
enchants cocktail’s lovers with a
familiar and relaxing taste.
From a perfect place during day-time for a meal or a
chat, the lounge becomes an exciting venue with DJs
owning the room (Thursdays through to Sundays) and
other live entertainment.

Pham Tien Tiep is the epitome of the rags-
to-riches success story. From a poor coun-
tryside boy to a champion bartender, his
life is full of challenges and surprises.
Born in a small village at 60km from Hanoi,
Pham Tien Tiep experienced a difficult
childhood. At the age of 15, he left school
and moved to Hanoi to find a job. He had
no idea what he wanted to do, then started
as a shoe shiner, a labourer in a Pho stand
and a factory making T-shirt. These early
work experiences went on to shape his
future career in ways he could not have
predicted at the time, of which his “Pho”
cocktail is known as a brilliant example.
His approach to KOTO, a restaurant and
training centre which provides disad-
vantaged youth with a two-year training
program in hospitality skills and personal
development saw the change of his life.
He was offered a formal course in music
because he used to consider himself a
musician.
However, working later at Le Pub, a cozy
bar for foreign clientele in the heart of
Hanoi’s old quarter, he found his true love
for creating cocktails. He then convinced Le
Club manager to promote him to the bar,
where he learned how to mix drinks. Within
a year he was the bar manager. Within two-
year stint, craving more skills and experi-
ences,
Tiep set his sights on Angelina, a luxury
Italian restaurant and bar in the Legend
Sofitel Metropole Hanoi. Despite lacking
a high school diploma and the requisite
certificate in five-star hospitality, he was
finally given this shot by promising to be
the best bartender in Hanoi. After two years
of work, he did what he dreamt.
In 2012, Pham Tien Tiep
won the best bartender of
Vietnam with his famous
“Pho” cocktail and became
the first Vietnamese rep-
resentative to attend the
Global Final of “Diageo
Reserve World Class 2012”
held in Rio de Janeiro
(Brazil), with enrollment of
over 50 world’s best bartend-
ers.
Tiep created “Pho” cocktail at Sofitel
Metropole Hanoi hotel, just above the war
bunkers where the American musician Joan
Baez sang to the guests in December 1972
as bombs fell on the city. The alcohol in
the cocktail is lit on fire to represent the
bombs, while spices, such as chili and cin-
namon reflect the warmness of her voice.
After the success of “Pho” cocktail, came
other drinks with stories that linked inex-
tricably to the flavours, culture and history
of Hanoi. One of them is “Full Moon” cock-
tail, recalling the dream of a little girl about
her late mother.
She met her mother in a full moon night
and enjoyed her delicious sweet and sour
fish soup. This story touched his heart
because he also lost his mother since very
young. “Full Moon” cocktail is flavoured
with herbs and spices that make the sweet
and sour fish soup and enchants cocktail’s
lovers with a familiar and relaxing taste.
In 2015, Tiep joins La Plume, an elegant and
intimate bar and bistro in the Press Club
building, where he continues introducing a
true mixology culture to cocktail lovers in
Hanoi.
In an atmosphere filled with Long Bien
bridge’s emotions, it is fantastic to enjoy
his wonderful “Under the bridge” cocktail.
Based on the charming flavor of the sweet
and sour fish sauce served with boiled
snails, a Hanoi’s popular delicacy, the cock-
tail tells the difficult but joyful life of poor
workers living under Long Bien bridge. The
message is despite hardship, life is always
beautiful.
For Tiep, a cocktail isn’t simply something
to drink. “It is a work of art with a back-
ground and a soul”. This young man will
keep going up to master the mixology art he
has a great passion for.

HOT | tips
Caroline Risby, APAC Marketing Manager for Precor explains how
your unmanned health club can be a sought-after, high quality
gym for your guests to enjoy. With ever increasing competition in
the hotel sector, there’s constant pressure to deliver outstanding
customer service and great facilities on a lower operating budget.
A hotel’s fitness facility is often the first area where costs are
cut and the decision is made for the gym to be unmanned. This
reduces staffing costs, which in turn increases profit margins,
whilst still allowing guests to enjoy a gym workout.
The challenge is how to deliver and maintain a great gym with
no-one looking after it. Health and safety standards must still be
upheld, a certain level of care for your guests is required, and they
must still enjoy a positivefitness experience. Otherwise, the benefit
of reducing staff costs will be outweighed by unsatisfied guests.
Safety first
This is arguably the most important aspect of any hotel gym
-keeping your guests safe while ensuring they can complete an
effective workout. The first requirement is clear, easy-to-read
signage located close to your entry point. This should set out
the facility’s terms of use, both to protect guests from injuries
and reduce the business’ liability in the unlikely event of an acci-
dent. An emergency button may also be useful (or even required
depending on your local regulations).
It’s also a good idea to talk to your equipment supplier. They will
often have great educational materials such as posters and decals
to help instruct guests on their particular pieces of equipment.
Some even use QR codes, which once scanned with a smart-
phone, will take the user to an instructional video on YouTube.
If your gym is also open to local members, then you’ll probably
need to conduct orientation sessions when they first sign up. It’s
important that they know how to use the equipment safely, and
have a training program to achieve their goals.
Training staff from other areas of the hotel to deliver these orienta-
tions (such as receptionists or porters) can be an efficient, cost-
effective solution.Another option is to partner with a local personal
trainer (PT) and have them take the sessions, in return for access
to the gym. For example, in return for a day’s worth of inductions,
the PT could use the gym to train his or her clients for the equiva-
lent number of hours across a defined time period.
You could then in turn promote the availability of the PT to mem-
bers and guests. Offering a more personalized service will not
only delight guests, but also generating additional revenue.
Regular checking and servicing of thegym is also key to provid-
ing a quality, safe environment. Ensure your housekeeping team
performs athorough clean daily, and have them trained on the
instructions specified by your equipment manufacturer to make
sure machines are cleaned correctly to prolong usage.
If it’s possible, ideally you should monitor the gym’s cleanliness
every few hours, to check for any issues such as water spills,
used towels or equipment that hasn’t been put away (such as free
weights).
Choose ‘smart’ equipment
If you are looking at investing in new equipmentfor your
unmanned facility, remember that low cost upfront is not always
the best option, and may cost you more money in the long run.
Good quality equipment will be more reliable and may even
be designed with an unmanned gym in mind. Thissignificantly
reducesthe need for staff members to checking it, or spend time
sorting out glitches and repairs. A robust after-sales support sys-
tem will also ensure that any equipment downtime (frustrating for
both guests and members) is kept to a minimum. Look carefully
into a potential supplier’s track record to ensure their service sup-
port and commitment will meet your needs. Look for a supplier
that has equipment that’s easy to use. Some equipment (particu-
larly cardio) has networking capabilities.

Guests can log in to their personal
account, and complete the same
workout they usually do in their gym
at home. In IHRSA research, facili-
ties ranked Precor as Best Fitness
Supplier in 12 out of 14 categories
including quality, reliability and after-
sales service. The networked cardio
range automatically receives software
updates so our customers’ equip-
ment is always kept up-to -date with
the latest improvements and fea-
tures. Equipment can be monitored
remotely so staff aren’t constantly
required on-site. Embrace digital
communication For facilities operating
with both local members and hotel
guests, maintaining regular communi-
cation with no staff on site becomes
very challenging. It can have a huge
impacton customer satisfaction and
retention, so it’s worth putting some
strategies in place.
This issue is not unique to the hos-
pitality sector however, as the fitness
industry has also seen significant
growth in the24/7 clubs market, which
features low cost gyms with mini-
mal staff. The low-cost gym sector’s
approach to running a club without
staff is worth investigating, as a way
to reduce your costs, and in turnin-
crease the efficiency of your gym.
A recent report on the low cos gym
sector found that these types of clubs
are having success through smart
use of technology,including customer
relationship management systems,
online platforms and social media.
Prospective members can join,
answer new member questionnaires
and book orientation or personal
training sessions online, without ever
meeting a member of staff. Social
media such as Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram can be used to keep mem-
bers up-to-date and build a sense of
camaraderie. Monthly emails (such
as 10 top tips for shedding winter
kilograms, healthy mid-week recipes
or how to train for your first fun run)
can boost member engagement and
increase motivation.
Personal viewing screens on cardio
equipment also offer hotels an ideal
way to keep in touch with exercisers
while they work out.
Some screens can even be custom-
ized to display bespoke messages
during a workout, that promote sec-
ondary spend. For example, you may
like to invite guests to enjoy a juice
or smoothie post-workout at a café
within the hotel, or visit the spa for
a discounted treatment. Or, you can
use it for more informative messages,
such as reminding guests to leave
the gym as they found it (i.e. clean
and tidy!).
Don’t forget the instructions…
An important role that gym staff play
in a fully manned club is to assist
exercisers in performing their work-
outs correctly. When planning an
unmanned gym, look for strength
equipment that is accompanied by
a visual illustration (via a poster or
placard) that clearly shows the cor-
rect body position, posture and tech-
nique for each machine.
When it comes to cardio, look for
machines that come with goal-
orientated workouts as well as ‘quick
start’ functionality for the seasoned
exerciser. Some also have in-built
instructional videos that’ll show
guests exactly how to use all of the
functions.
Programme cards are also useful,
so that you can walk an exerciser
through an entire workout that may
utilize a variety of different pieces of
equipment.For example, an effective
warm-up isn’t just a case of walking
on a treadmill at the same speed
for five minutes, it should gradually
become more difficult and work the
whole body. Many large hotel chains
utilize programme cards to guide
users on a variety of exercises, from
advanced workouts to core fitness
and stretching.
Ultimately, the needs and expecta-
tions of your guests and members will
determine the level of staffing appro-
priate for your gym. But with some
careful planning and preparation,
there’s no reason why an unmanned
fitness facility can’t be as popular and
profitable as a fully staffed one.

Quadriga, a leading international provider of
Internet and entertainment managed servic-
es for the hospitality industry,deploy Sensiq
Smart TV solution throughout Liverpool’s
new Pullman Hotel to provide guests with
access to on demand content and integrated
WiFi network solution.
Theale, United Kingdom, 4th March 2015:
Integrated with ACC Liverpool’s brand new
interconnected sister venue, Exhibition
Centre Liverpool, Pullman Liverpool Hotel
will offer 216 spacious comfortable bed-
rooms for relaxing, sleeping and working.
This newly-built hotel will open as one of the
most stylish hotels in the city.
Pullman Liverpool will be the second
Pullman hotel in the UK, and the first out-
side of London. Pullman Hotels and Resorts
are an upscale international group of four
and five star hotels. The Pullman network
hosts 89 hotels in 24 countries across
Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific
and Latin America.
Requirement:
Pullman offers an extensive range of tai-
lored services, innovative technologies and
friendly service from attentive staff and this
was ACC Liverpool’s first hotel venture.
While the company benefitted from the
wealth of experience AccorHotels offer, it
was looking for a technology partner that
design and install a converged solution
offering high quality WiFi and wired internet
access across all the rooms. Also required
was a TV system that would offer a better
than home experience in room for guests
and to integrate the back office functions
onto a single, resilient network.
Quadriga’s Solution:
Quadriga’s converged solution not only pro-
vided the Pullman Liverpool with all of the
above but also saved the client substantial
costs in structured cabling. Quadriga’s inter-
net solution reduced the number of cables
originally thought to be required, with just
two running into each room, one of which
to cover a fault. The wall plates are used to
connect a VOIP Telephone (provided by a
Quadriga partner), the Philips Smart TV run-
ning Sensiq and a wired internet connection
and will have no impact on the future or cur-
rent network capabilities. By utilising Sensiq
on a Smart TV, the hotelier can take advan-
tage of all the revenue making functions of
Sensiq on the latest TV models.
Jon Seal, Director of Technical Pre-Sales for
EMEA commented:
“More often than not we are find-
ing hotels with similar requirements
typically having multiple runs of cable
side by side going into guest rooms for
Internet, telephone and video - a mixed
bag of copper and coax each supporting
a separate product from various ven-
dors on separated networks. This type
of infrastructure costs more, requires
multiple vendors to fix, and makes it
difficult to expand or add new applica-
tions. Acting as a consultative partner
we were able to roll out a complete
converged solution.”
Hotel and Guest Benefits:
By running the Sensiq solution on Philips
Smart TVs, the guest will be able to enjoy
an array of content on demand via an easy
to use interface, which the client can take
advantage of thanks to its customizable
capabilities.
The TV system also requires no set top
box, meaning less hardware to maintain for
the hotel. The wall plates will offer excellent
WiFi coverage and the reduced cabling will
make in room maintenance much easier for
the technical hotel staff on site.
Public and back of house areas will also
benefit from a Quadriga provided network
and WiFi solution, allowing the voice tele-
phones to continue in to the back of house
areas, enabling them to use a fully con-
verged network and avoiding duplication of
switches and other network hardware.
Roger Sharples, Project Manager at ACC
Liverpool commented, “Quadriga provided
us with a cost-effective solution which we
are confident will meet our guests’ needs.
The company’s consultative approach took
into account all of our requirements and we
now have a converged solution that we are
sure our guests will benefit from.”

and Product Exhibition, China Public Textile
Laundry Exhibition and China Laundry
Franchise Exhibition. Four professional exhi-
bitions in one platform not only comprehen-
sively present the whole laundry industry,
but also save purchase cost by meeting all
renowned brands at a time. As a window of
technical innovation and brand presentation,
as well as a professional platform for trade
communication and investment and financial
cooperation, CHINA LAUNDRY EXPO has
been a firm bridge between upstream and
downstream industry chain, between domes-
tic and international supply chain.
“CHINA LAUNDRY EXPO would be our first
step to develop the Chinese market.”

Incredible Heritage Hotels
SINGAPORE, 19 February 2016 - Blessed with a
character only the passage of time can bestow,
heritage hotels are invariably bastions of super-
lative taste.
Each has its individual charms, from the grande
dames of Europe to the peach-coloured palaces
of India, from the boozy glamour of New Orleans
to the Renaissance allure of Tuscany’s villas.
Here, Insight Vacations delve into what makes
the story of each of these properties quite so
unique.
The Boscolo Hotel, Budapest
Boscolo Hotel, Budapest © dluxhu/iStock
Harmony of Central Europe
Built by the New York Life Insurance Company in the late
19th century, the café in the bowels of The Boscolo Hotel,
The New York Café, was for decades the single most important
hub of Hungarian literature.
Having undergone a huge refurbishment in 2006, the place
hasn’t aged a jot either. A four-storey palace littered with stat-
ues, paintings and frescoes, the hotel was nationalized dur-
ing the Communist period but while politics comes and goes,
Boscolo’s beauty has endured. Guests can amuse themselves
by watching passersby fail to make progress beyond the devil-
ish bronze fauns outside, instead being drawn in to see the
hotel’s countless Belle Époque charms.
Laxmi Niwas Palace, Bikaner
Imperial Rajasthan
Latticed screens, ornate filigree work and the palace’s giant
scale mark Laxmi Niwas Palace out as a place of no ordinary
beauty. And it’s no less impressive on the inside, where carved
four-poster beds, antique furniture, and marble are framed by
grand peach coloured sandstone.

Built in 1904, the palace was formerly the
residence of Maharajah Ganga Singh,
the ruler of Bikaner, and quickly attracted
flights of European royalty. A curious
mix of architectural forms, it may have
been the inspiration behind Lutyens’ and
Baker’s own inimitable styles.
Château Frontenac, Quebec City
Quebec City
Indulgence in Eastern Canada
Standing on the site of Château
Haldimand, the residence of the British
governors of Lower Canada and Quebec,
Frontenac is one of the most photo-
graphed hotels in the world.
Snug inside the walls of the fortified
Old Town, it was here that Churchill
and Roosevelt discussed World War II
strategy during the conflict, and where,
after the war, Alfred Hitchcock filmed I
Confess. Designated a UNESCO World
Heritage Site, Frontenac’s party trick is to
bring the Old World to the New without
muddling the qualities of either.
Trianon Palace, Paris
French Elegance
Built at the entrance of Versailles Park
in the early 20th century, Trianon Palace
Hotel quickly attracted some of the big-
gest names of its time. The Italian poet
and politician Gabriele d’Annunzio held
banquets here before WWI, it served as
the HQ of Allied commanders during the
conflict, and The Great Room played
host to one of the most important events
in European history: the preparation of
the Treaty of Versailles.
Later, during German occupation,
Goering and Hitler visited and when
the fortunes of war reversed them-
selves, Allied leaders including General
Eisenhower stayed for several months.
A Rococo extravagance located only
40 minutes from Paris, with manicured
lawns and great views of the Palace of
Versailles, it’s not hard to see why the
place has held history in its thrall.
Alhambra Palace, Granada
Alhambra de Granada Spain &
Portugal in Style
Sitting on La Sabika hill, overlooking the
city of Granada and flanked by the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, even from a distance
Alhambra Palace remains a potent sym-
bol of Andalusia’s Islamic past.
Its original Arabic name – qa’lat al-Hamra
– means Red Castle and is a reference
to the distinctive clay bricks that form the
outer walls. Once inside, the expansive
complex of palaces, fortifications, roads
and stunning, landscaped gardens –
all created in the evocative Medieval
Moorish architectural style – exercises a
unique power over visitors, transporting
them back through the centuries.
Roosevelt Hotel, New Orleans
Southern Grace
Opened as “The Grunewald” in 1893, the
hotel was later named after Roosevelt
as a hat-tip to the president for building
the Panama Canal, a project that brought
huge amounts of business to New
Orleans.
Famous from its earliest days as a music
hub, it has a good claim to possess-
ing one of America’s first nightclubs,
The Cave – a haven of Dixieland jazz.
As such, the hotel has seen a series of
famous faces from Louis Armstrong to
Ray Charles pass through its revolving
doors, and, having undergone a $145
million restoration, it now blends historic
grandeur with contemporary class.
Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, Montreux
Fairmont Montreux Palace Hotel
Majestic Switzerland
Opened in 1906, Fairmont Le Montreux
almost instantly entered its golden age in
a flurry of Venetian parties and masquer-
ade balls that drew in Russian princes,
New York bankers and Maharajahs from
all over the world.
In 1936 the globe’s gaze fell again on the
hotel as it played host to the Montreux
Convention, and it later attracted fame
as the permanent home of the author
Vladimir Nabokov. A place hallowed
by great titans of literature such as
Rousseau and Lord Byron, the hotel is
one of Switzerland’s greatest assets.
Grande Bretagne, Athens
Jewels of the Aegean
Situated on the edge of Syntagma
Square, the Grande Bretagne was origi-
nally the house of a wealthy business-
man, but it’s rarely strayed far from the
nation’s political spotlight since falling
out of his hands. The headquarters of
several military forces in the middle of
the 20th century, and the home of former
Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou
during the early stages of the Greek Civil
War, intrigue has never travelled far from
its corridors. Renovated at great cost in
2006, the hotel offers views of Lycabettus
Hill, the Acropolis and Parliament, and is
one of a handful of hotels in Europe that
still upholds the standards of a vanished
age.
Villa le Maschere, Tuscany
Balancino Lake , Ultimate Italy
A stunning villa originally built in the
mid-16th century at the top of a rise on
the road from Florence to Bologna, Villa
le Maschere commands an impressive
vista of the Mugello valley. Such a large
pile has hosted a Pope and two Savoy
Kings to name just a few notables. Fast-
forward to the present and inside owner
Milva Fusi has used bright, contempo-
rary furnishings in a five-year restora-
tion to make the villa as resplendent as
it was in its heyday. Visit if playing the
Renaissance prince or princess has
remained on your to-do list for a while.
Hotel Bristol, Vienna
Harmony of Central Europe
The Hotel Bristol’s first celebrity guest
was Gustav Mahler, which is unsurprising
perhaps given its location opposite the
opera house. Edward, Prince of Wales
soon followed in 1935, and, after WWII,
the US embassy was relocated here.
In 2009 it had a renovation that ran into
millions of dollars and it’s now a majestic
mix of marble, crystal and gold leaf. If
visiting, ask for a top-level room over-
looking the Ringstrasse, there you can
watch the sun setting over the moun-
tains, rounding off your day in a drunken
haze of colors. These heritage hotels and
others are available on a range of differ-
ent journeys; visit Insight Vacations for
