  • British Airways Business Life June 2012
    Thursday, June 14, 2012 Amanda Morison on hotels with looks and service that belie their budget price tags Motel One Wien-Westbahnhoff, Vienna MUNICH Cocoon Hotel It's hard not to smile when you stay at Cocoon. Rooms are decorated with orange or fuchsia headboards, thick felt curtains and egg or hanging Perspex ball chairs. A desk-meets-divan — work and play at the same time? — is cunningly wedged into the window, and every room has an iPod dock and free WiFi. There's no restaurant but the reception area doubles as a bar and breakfast is better than you'd expect for an extra €9. The 'fun' atmosphere extends to the bathroom facilities. The shower head is the size of a dinner plate but if you're sharing, be warned — only a glass wall separates you from the rest of the room. hotel-cocoon.de LONDON Z Hotel Soho You haven't mistakenly wandered into a wardrobe. Staying this centrally at an affordable price means certain compromises are necessary, and one of them is space, hence a row of coathooks does the job of a cupboard. The first Z Hotel (a second opens this month in London's Victoria) was created from 12 townhouses close to Cambridge Circus. Instead of a restaurant there's a café where you can pick up sourdough sandwiches and continental breakfast. Beds are worth a lie-in for, especially the wool duvets, though you will hear noise from the surrounding Soho streets since this area of London rarely sleeps. iPod docks, free WiFi and Thierry Mugler toiletries are other touches that lift this above a basic offering.

  • HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide Excerpt 2016
    2016 EDITION | Price US$800 SUMMARY THE ANNUAL HVS ASIA-PACIFIC HOTEL OPERATOR GUIDE (AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2015) Setthawat Hetrakul Assistant Manager Daniel J Voellm Managing Partner HVS.com HVS | Level 21, The Centre, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong The HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide 2016 Foreword It is with great pleasure that I share with you our third annual Asia-Pacific Operator Guide, data as of 31 December 2015. This third edition will continue to serve owners as a reference for which operator has a strong presence in their home market and in potential future markets further ashore as well as key feeder markets across the region. With China rapidly becoming a strong outbound market, brands and operators that are well positioned there are better positioned to welcome Chinese travelers overseas. Branding, anchored by the management expertise and distribution power that operators bring to a hotel property, is becoming more and more critical. In the face of increasing competition, non-branded properties often perform at a discount to their branded peers due to lack of awareness and quality assurance. Running a hotel is no easy task and owners have a tendency to view operators’ fees as unjustified for the value they deliver. It is essential that owner and operator align their interest from very early in the process and work towards a common goal, rather than start their long-term relationship from conflicting standpoints. In this third edition, we have captured close to one million existing and more than half a million pipeline rooms spread over 6,546 properties.
