New collection of independent hotels launched
A portfolio of luxury, independent hotels, called Utopian Hotel Collection, has just launched.
The Collection has 24 hotels currently in the portfolio, each individually designed and offering something different to discerning travellers.
For example, guests staying at Le Grand Bellevue Hotel in Switzerland during the summer months have the option to be whisked away for a spot of heli-yoga; while those checking into the Park Hotel Vitznau can have a private wine-tasting tour or explore Lake Lucerne on the hotel’s own boat which doesn’t require a licence.
Announcing the launch of Utopian Hotel Collection, co-founder and chairman Paul Cordier said: "We are at a significant turning point in the luxury travel industry. Utopian Hotel Collection is well positioned to offer a new type of luxury experience which enriches, surprises and reignites travellers’ passion for adventure."
Co-founder Ronald Homsy added: "We’ve made sure from day one that our hotel curation process is meticulous and consistent.
"Selecting the perfect hotels for the collection is of paramount importance. Once a property has been invited into the Utopian Collection, guests are guaranteed an authentic, world-class experience with new levels of verve and spirit."
