iPads in phuket
Paradise just got an upgrade with the addition of the revolutionary iPad at Anantara Phuket Resort & Spa along Mai Khao Beach on the north end of the island. Guests can book a massage at the Anantara Spa, schedule a dive excursion to the Similan Islands, or simply read the latest headlines in their local paper from virtually anywhere, with just the touch of the screen. Don’t bother packing your BlackBerry or iPhone, simply borrow an iPad directly from the resort and keep up with what’s happening around the world while chillaxing on a daybed poolside or sailing through Phang Nga bay.
Not going to Phuket? No worries! iPads will be introduced at all Anantara hotels and resorts worldwide within the coming months.
masters of food and wine à paris
Executive chef, Jean-François Rouquette, of Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme’s Michelin-starred Pur’ restaurant, has invited six internationally celebrated chefs to join him for the first Paris-based Park Hyatt Masters of Food and Wine event, from September 21-25, 2009. Highlights include Jean Sulpice, executive chef of L’Oxalys, a one-Michelin- star restaurant in Val Thorens, France, and the up-and-coming Benjamin Toursel of L’Auberge du Prieuré in Moirax, France.
For more than twenty years, Park Hyatt has hosted an annual food and wine festival to showcase its serious dedication to its F&B program. For the past three years, Masters of Food and Wine was hosted by the Park Hyatt properties in Buenos Aires and Mendoza, and focused on South American cuisine, with a heavy emphasis on the ever-expanding Argentinean wine world.
This September a spin-off of the Masters festival kicks off in Paris with a VIP cocktail party at the hotel where guests will have the opportunity to meet the participating chefs, followed by a series of exclusive dinners orchestrated by Rouquette and his guest chefs over the next four nights. In addition to the dinners, the hotel will offer a special cultural program, Discovery of Paris, which includes cocktail classes taught by the Park Hyatt barman Yann Daniel, a journey to Billecart-Salmon Champagne house, and a tour of the Boucheron factory.

phuket perfection
In October, Anantara’s flagship property Anantara Phuket Resort & Spa will open on the remote Mai Khao Beach on Thailand’s northern shores. Removed from the overcrowded coast in the south, the new development signifies the island is back and hotter than ever, following the devastation of a tsunami in 2004. The hotel affords incredible access to its surroundings, lying on the edge of Sirinath National Park, a verdant ecosystem with secluded beaches, jungles, and mangrove forests. Ideal spots for a castaway picnic include the nearby Similan Islands with their breathtaking coral reefs or remote Phang Nga Bay with views of limestone cliffs that float above the waters of the uninhabited bay and pristine white sand beach. The resort boasts 83 pool villas, arranged in the style of a traditional southern Thai water village around a lagoon. Each villa – framed by gardens and large, lily-filled ponds designed by renowned architect Bill Bensley (included in Architectural Digest’s “AD 100″) – has its own 377-square-foot infinity pool and terrazzo tub for two. Villas start around $905 per night. Read the rest of this entry »
