Always wanted to have a private suite with your name on it? At the InterContinetal in San Francisco this is possible! After 250 stays, a room is named after you. The very regular guest is not the only pampered one. After 10 visits your favorite pictures are placed in your room during your stay. After more visits, you will get your own pen, personal slippers, upgrades, private bath robe, iPod with music or sheets with initials.
Great hospitality!
The rEvolution wineglass made by Vinice was already posted on our website. Today we saw a tweet of restaurant De Leeuw in Lichtenvoorde (The Netherlands) that uses the glass in a different way in the ‘floating dish’.
This spoon measures the level of salinity in your food (liquid, sauce). A great tool for guests with high blood pressure.
It’Sugar, a shop spotted in Dubai (Mall of the Emirates) with shops in the United States as well. The IT’SUGAR experience, is set against a soundtrack that makes you want to get up and dance in the store, which is exactly what the staff does! Every time the ‘I Want Candy’ track is played, the staff (dressed in eye-catching “sweet” customized dungarees) breaks into a spontaneous dance routine – something which needs to be seen.
Every month you’ll receive an alcohol free cocktail recipe from Happy Drinks. This month it’s ‘Flower Power’, with edible flowers. The recipe is only available in Dutch.

High-end hotels sometimes offer an array of luxury soaps and other personal cleansing items. We haven’t seen the personalization and selection at the level of Mexico’s Viceroy Riviera Maya before. A ‘soap concierge’ at the newly renovated luxury hotel now offers guests a choice of locally made soaps and then hand-cuts bars on the spot from their selections.
Bit artificial but it looks festive! And at April the 30th we celebrate Queen’s Day in The Netherlands, so a nice treat in the colors of the Dutch flag.
An delicious layered cake, in the colors of the Dutch flag. Use whipped cream, frosting and fresh berries to give it that refreshing touch you need on a (hopefully) warm Queen’s Day in The Netherlands.
A nice shake with three layers inspired by the Dutch flag. Nice for the Queens day or during the European Championship 2012.
Restaurant De Wits organizes a special Sunday for it’s members. There are free workshops during the afternoon (for example making pasta, taste wine or oysters) and a (paid) pre-taste of five new menu dishes at the evening. A simple but effective concept. Why? It creates community bonding, the free activities are interesting and there is a good change that people will return.
Droste’s wants to emphasize the rural and spacious character of their the farm lodges in Twente. They do it in an original way with a photo of an electric cattle fence. The newsletter is minimalistic and there are no offers in it.
