Celebrating International Women’s Day at Anantara Chiang Mai Resort - TOP25HOTELS - TRAVELINDEXChiang Mai, Thailand, March 3, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / On Wednesday 8 March 2023, the world celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Anantara Chiang Mai Resort is proud to join in, marking the occasion with a day of self-care and reward for guests and day visitors alike.

Spa & Wellness

The award-winning Anantara Spa is an oasis of tranquillity where guests are invited to take a moment for themselves, to rest and revive. On International Women’s Day, women enjoy a complimentary 30-minute massage or facial with any treatment booked.

There will also be complimentary classes throughout the day: at 10.30 am, the Ched Haek workshop teaches the ancient Lanna massage technique to stimulate energy flow; at 1.00 pm, a core and lower body workout provides a rush of afternoon energy; and at 4.00 pm, guests can take flight with aerial yoga, moving through a sequence of asanas with freedom of movement.

Dining

All ladies dining at either Bodhi Terrace or The Service 1921 will enjoy a complimentary sparkling cocktail. This could be afternoon tea in the gardens, or lunch or dinner at either restaurant.

The popular ladies’ night at the rooftop bar Bubbles begins with a celebratory welcome cocktail, then happy hour prices through the night beginning at THB 199++. There will also be a tarot reader at the bar, predicting what lies ahead in the coming year, whether fortune or fame.

Celebrating Women in the Workplace

Throughout the day, guests may notice female staff shedding their uniforms for their personal clothes. It is a mark of celebrating the uniqueness of each individual, regardless of gender, race, age, sexuality and more.

Gender equality is a foundation of operations at the resort, with 60% of management in fact women. “At Anantara, we select team members based solely on vision, ability and drive”, says General Manager Pitak Norathepkitti. “The fact that the majority of our leadership is female speaks for itself. While we empower our team members to be themselves and to succeed, credit must go to the women for their achievements”.

Anantara Chiang Mai Resort Unveils Its New Afternoon Tea Service - TRAVELINDEXChiang Mai, Thailand, January 27, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / Anantara Chiang Mai Resort unveils its new afternoon tea service, an ode to the English ritual of refinement and enjoyment, held daily in the gardens of the former British consulate on the banks of the Ping River.

The ritual of afternoon tea began among the English aristocracy in the 1800s. It was a small indulgence, an occasion to look forward to, to dress up for, and to share with friends.

Anantara Chiang Mai Resort’s new afternoon tea pays homage to the historic roots of the tradition. The setting could not be more ideal, on the verandah of what was Her Majesty’s consulate which dates back 100 years.

Each detail of the experience has been carefully designed by Chef David Eldridge and team, beginning with the fine porcelain. It has been sourced from Wedgwood, official potter to Her Majesty since the time of Queen Charlotte. The Paeonia Blush collection was chosen in a nod to Chiang Mai’s floral surrounds – it also has a hint of the Asian exotique.

The tea begins with delicate finger sandwiches and tartlets, then freshly baked scones with authentic Devonshire clotted cream. A selection of patisserie follows, and, perfect for Thailand’s warm weather, homemade tropical sorbet.

Guests enjoy a choice of loose-leaf teas from the TWG and Monsoon collections, as well as hot or iced coffee. Additional options include sparkling wine, an old-fashioned G&T, or a bubbly cocktail.

Afternoon tea is served daily 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm, beginning at THB 790++ per person or THB 1,390++ for two. For more information or reservations, call +66 53 253 333

Anantara Hotels Brings its Experiential Luxury to the Netherlands - HOTELWORLDS.com - TRAVELINDEXAmsterdam, Netherlands, September 20, 2022 / TRAVELINDEX / Anantara Hotels, Resorts and Spas brings its renowned experiential luxury to the Netherlands with Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam. Located in the city centre and with more than 155 years of history, the much-loved property is in the final stage of an extensive renovation as part of its transition to the luxury Anantara brand and now offers new contemporary guest rooms and suites, a brand-new Anantara Spa and fitness facilities, and a charming interior garden.

• Discover Amsterdam’s and the World’s Best Luxury Hotels at TOP25Hotels.com

Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky Amsterdam is located overlooking Dam Square and facing the Royal Palace, in a leafy square that is the beating heart of Amsterdam’s social scene. The magnificent building dates back to 1856, the year that a Polish tailor, Mr. Adolph Wilhelm Krasnapolsky, first opened a coffee house on the site. As the café grew in popularity, he added rooms for rent and later built it into a modern hotel. Today the property celebrates its history proudly with black and white images from the past exhibited throughout, and the celebrated bar, The Tailor, paying tribute to the original craftsmanship of Mr. Krasnapolsky.

With its celebration of historical heritage and contemporary luxury, the 402-room hotel is an enviable base for both business and leisure travellers to experience the thriving city and discover Dutch culture and history. The museum quarter, which includes Anne Frank House, Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, as well as the capital’s prime shopping district, are within walking distance.

The hotel’s refurbished rooms and suites embrace guests in contemporary style with Anantara signature touches, whilst celebrating Dutch heritage and the famous canals. The interior design sees the guest rooms and suites swathed in warm tones, and soft, tactile fabrics that give warmth and texture. The furniture is inspired by mid-century designs and striking geometric lighting complements the softness of the supple leather headboards and plush cushions. The Presidential Suite with two bedrooms and a spacious layout of 70 sqm provides ample room for family or friends travelling together, whilst the impressive Royal Suite is sure to make any guest feel like royalty with 150 sqm of opulent facilities and expansive views overlooking Dam Square and the National Royal Palace.

Unique dining experiences at the hotel include fine-dining restaurant The White Room, under the helm of former three-Michelin star chef Jacob Jan Boerma, whose refined, modern dishes use the freshest local ingredients from the Netherlands. Grand Café Krasnapolsky and The Champagne Room, both boasting direct frontage onto Dam Square, offer classic, elegant dishes with a contemporary twist, alongside an extensive selection of Champagnes by the glass. Award-winning bar, The Tailor pays tribute to the hotel’s founder and craft with bespoke cocktails amidst warm décor. The hotel’s sumptuous breakfast is served in the iconic inner Wintergarden, instantly recognisable by the magnificent 19th century glass roof.

In keeping with Anantara’s wellness philosophies, the newly added Anantara Spa blends a warm, local welcome with Thai techniques applied with premium products. Swissline is a results-driven brand found exclusively in Amsterdam at Anantara and known for its cellular therapy experts and passion for skin biology. In addition, the spa works with Dutch brand, hannah, whose mission is to bring damaged skin back into balance and slow down aging.

With its relaxation area overlooking the newly landscaped Summer Garden, a charming outdoor space tucked away within the hotel and exclusive in a central Amsterdam property, the spa’s design is influenced by the country’s costal dunes, with tranquil interiors incorporating natural wood and stone to help guests achieve the utmost state of relaxation. Three treatment rooms and Finnish, wet and infrared saunas, offer a blissful retreat from the bustling city outside. The hotel’s new gym is equipped by Technogym, with the latest cardio and weights technology and a rotating climbing wall to challenge guests.

True to Anantara’s philosophy, this is a luxury hotel that connects modern travellers to authentic places, people and stories. The hotel team has created a programme of local experiences that enable guests to fully immerse themselves in the city’s rich culture, celebrating the destination with the added touch of Anantara’s legendary service. Whether it be uncovering Amsterdam’s best kept culinary hideaways – from dining in the Royal Suite, overlooking the historic centre – or exploring the wonderful fishing village of Volendam, guests are spoilt for choice.

Travellers can cruise the city’s canals whilst indulging in a romantic dinner curated by The White Room, cycle the waterways lined with the traditional gabled canal houses, hop around world-class museums with an Anantara expert or enjoy a culinary journey, sampling apple pie or stroopwafel in one of the oldest bars in town, bitterballen (round croquettes), a variety of national cheeses paired with artisan beers or a Jenever from one of Amsterdam’s oldest distilleries.

For families, the hotel team has curated a selection of activities at the stunning Amsterdamse Bos Park, from scenic walks including a delicious signature picnic in the wood, to taking a boat out on the lake, or feeding the sheep at the farm; there’s plenty to keep the whole family busy.

Amsterdam’s charms are endless, but within 30 minutes guests can also take a memorable journey into an endless carpet of tulips, followed by a gourmet lunch or afternoon tea amongst the flowers. Back in the city centre the hotel offers an exclusive shopping opportunity in the high-end boutiques and ateliers of new Dutch designers, a shopaholic’s dream.

The hotel is also a perfect choice for events imbued with authentic local colour, for meetings and conferences ranging from 10 to 1,500 guests. The Wintergarden, a 19th century glass covered inner garden, has been the choice of brides throughout the generations and continues to be a sought-after venue for 21st century couples.

Anantara debuted in Europe in 2017 with the launch of Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort in Portugal, followed by Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort in Marbella, Southern Spain. The brand continues its expansion in Europe in iconic properties such as Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome and Anantara New York Palace Budapest, with additional properties to come.

The dessert menu is a sweet symphony starring orange and lime churros and a sinful tres leches cake.

Master mixologists craft cocktails to complement the Latin American theme at GUILTY. Signature sips include Manteca y Dulce—a combination of pisco and dulce de leche, and Cactus Scape No.1—with tequila, pineapple, agave and adobo spices. For the adventurous, the selection of party shots includes cannabis, palm leaf and coffee with coconut.

The interior space combines bold geometry with earthy green and amber tones to create a distinctive aesthetic inspired by the works of Richard Artschwager and the pop art movement. Guests are greeted by an oversized resin cast feature light that hovers over the central space as an abstract art piece, and masterpieces from local creators including Melanies Greis, Nakrob Moonmanus, Kitikong Tilokwattanotai and Phannapast “Yoon” Taychamaythakool adorn the space to welcome patrons and hotel guests alike.

The party starts at GUILTY, where there’s no shame in a good time. Open Tuesday to Saturday for lunch between 12 noon and 2.30pm and for dinner between 6.00pm and 12 midnight. For more information, contact +66 2 126 8866 or email: guilty.asia@anantara.com.
