Plaza Premium Lounge Welcomes the Popular “Emily in Paris” Coming to Rome
The popular Netflix series “Emily in Paris” has been renewed for the fifth season, with the promotion video Lily Collins, who plays the titular Emily Cooper can be seen saying, ‘There’s no place like Rome,’ suggesting that Emily may well look to swap the City of Lights permanently for the Italian capital.
This plot twist even prompted French President Emmanuel Macron to express his desire for the series to remain in Paris, because of its role in promoting tourism and image of Paris. To this Roberto Gualtieri, Mayor of Rome responded lightly, “Take it easy; Emily in Rome is perfect.”
No Place Like Rome
Fun trivia aside, as “Emily in Paris” says “Au Revoir” to Paris and “Ciao” to Roma, the award-winning** Plaza Premium Lounges in Rome welcome passengers with their “Proudly Local” offerings of Italian produce and products, from wines and spirits to beverages to revolving art installations.
As Analia Marinoff, Plaza Premium Group’s Area General Manager for Italy & Finland & Germany rightly puts it: “Food is at the heart of every culture, and we take our culinary offerings seriously, especially in the Eternal City of Rome, where a taste of Italian hospitality is experienced in our signature dishes, beverages, and iconic espressos. The whole city is so excited to celebrate the move of Emily from Paris to Rome as the location of Season 5.”
Savour La Dolce Vita in Every Sip and Bite
There are two Plaza Premium Lounges in Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport (FCO), one at Terminal 1 and one at at Terminal 3.
Travellers can enjoy classic Roman delicacies like Amatriciana pasta, a historical Roman recipe served at the court of Pope Pius VII; Roman snack “Suppli”, a rustic dish consisting of a ball of risotto with tomato sauce; and “Pizza al taglio”, translated as “pizza by the cut” commonly eaten throughout Italy. These dishes are best paired with an Aperol Spritz or Negroni.
“Maritozzi”, Rome’s most iconic pastry, are brioche buns scented with orange zest, vanilla, and honey, then filled with whipped cream. This classic confection is best gone with the Kir Rome Royal Cockta.
The two lounges are currently promoting ‘Enjoy la dolce vita with “Proudly Local” experience’ until Dec 9th 2024.
** The Plaza Premium Lounge in Rome was awarded “World’s Best Independent Airport Lounge” for the eighth consecutive year at the 2024 Skytrax World Airline Awards.

Regent Shanghai on The Bund Unfolds New Inspirations for Art and Food
Regent Taste Studio Elevates Immersive Multi-Sensory Experiences with ‘The Magic of Beauty of Contrast’. Guests are invited to Elevate Above the Noise.
Regent Hotels & Resorts perfectly encapsulates the essence of modern luxury and continues to redefine boundaries with innovative concepts and excellent design.
Following its debut in the Greater China market last year, the second season of Regent Taste Studio has graced the doors of Regent Shanghai on The Bund. With the theme ‘The Magic of Beauty of Contrast’, this edition features five meticulously crafted chapters, bringing together four talented chefs from Shanghai and Chongqing to captivate guests at Regent Shanghai on The Bund from October 28 to November 12.
Rita Jiang, Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer, IHG Greater China, said: “Regent has always been committed to providing guests with luxury experiences that exceed expectations through innovative thinking. Our Regent Taste Studio is the embodiment of this pioneering spirit, integrating art, performance, music, design and fashion inspirations to transcend the limitations of traditional cuisine through a fully immersive, luxurious, and multisensorial experience.
This year, we’re striving for excellence in multiple dimensions. Firstly, we are expanding the Regent Taste Studio period with more seatings, allowing more food lovers experience this pop-up activation. Furthermore, we have cleverly leveraged and optimized the existing layout and space of hotel restaurants, lightening the construction to ensure smooth hotel operations even in a longer activation period.”
Unraveling new meaning in the Magic of the Beauty of Contrast
Regent Taste Studio represents an inventive new avenue of unexpected collaboration to provide guests with an ambitious dining experience featuring elements of interactive pop-up art.
The second season presents ‘The Magic of Beauty of Contrast’, drawing inspiration from the stained-glass artwork of Regent Shanghai on The Bund.
By teaming up with an eclectic roster of artists ranging from modern dance and experimental music to glassmaking and digital multimedia, the theme eloquently interprets five chapters: ‘Revive to Life ‘, ‘Elevate Above the Sea’, ‘Melody of Food’, ‘Where Time Can Not Find Us’ and ‘Timeless Uplifting’ in the light and shadow digital interactive art.
An out-of-this-world atmosphere awaits diners as they find themselves surrounded by visual lighting and sound effects to savor the ‘Beauty of Contrast’ that defines the Regent.
Chapter 1 ‘Revive to Life’: As ice and snow melts, light and shadow interweave tranquility and vitality. With guidance from ‘Regent Experience Agents’, an odyssey into the mysteries of revivification and nature await. Snowflake Lobster Tartlet, with its crystal-like appearance, symbolizes the fading of winter’s cold. Its delicate taste noted with citrus dances on the tip of the tongue, awakening a desire for freshness; Crystal Foie Gras is inspired by the fluid form of crystal chandeliers and stairs, and the Tuna Tartare cunningly displays elements of ice and fire; King Crab Roulade captures the essence of the ocean and pays tribute to the melting snow flowing into the sea; Smoked Eel Pillow personifies the first melting of snow in the Spring, gently awakening the sleeping earth and singing an ode to nature with every bite.
Chapter 2 ‘Elevate Above the Sea’: Seagulls shuffle through the waves, seemingly dancing with the sea, flying far above the noise with power and freedom. Guests will dive into a digital art space that takes them soaring to new heights. The Fish Sauce Chili Oil Foam and exquisite plating are reminiscent of the calm after a wave crashes. Its rich flavors tell of the purification and restoration of nature’s rhythm. Fresh and salty caviar and the Leopard Coral Grouper bring the taste of the ocean, symbolizing rebirth after the storm. Every bite is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of seagulls flying above the sea.
Chapter 3 ‘Melody of Food’: Everything that stands before us is a gift from nature. This is an endeavor to Elevate Above the Noise to transform the elements into natural melodies leading to sensory sublimation. This time, artists and chefs work side by side to compose a song that resonates with novel instruments and fresh ingredients such as morel mushroom, asparagus and smoked potatoes foam to give way to the chef’s ingenuity. The ingredients sprout from each plate like a lush miniature forest, while a combination of morels and bamboo highlights the vigor of Mother Earth. An exquisite Smoked Fruit Puree embellishment not only adds flavor, but also the mystery and depth of the Yunnan Forest.
Chapter 4 ‘Where Time Can Not Find Us’: In glass, moments in time transcend thought. The colors of stained-glass have been baptized by light over the years, and shine anew once again. Through the magic of holographic digital art, time freezes instances of luxury into eternity. The Wagyu Beef wrapped like a gift box symbolizes these precious moments. As it is unveiled, the aroma of black truffles stun diners, sealing time and beauty as they stand still, above the noise.
Chapter 5 ‘Timeless Uplifting’: A crystal-clear world glistens, witnessing the flow of time and the power of memory. Lemon Sugar Sphere uncover a parallel sensory universe, with their unique taste and texture intertwined with eternal moments of synesthesia. When the candy balls are broken, a visual transformation unfolds, creating a harmonic aftertaste to conclude the culinary journey. Guests are seemingly transported to a sparkling river, accompanied by Regent’s customized flower arrangement art ‘Seagull and flying horses’, ‘cyan lion and white elephant’, ‘dragon above the tides ‘and ‘Aqua Luna boat’, highlighting the brand’s one-of-a-kind charm and creative expression.
Unearthing inspiration to Elevate Above the Noise
The latest season of Regent Taste Studio was featured at Regent Shanghai on The Bund, which just had its grand opening on November 1.
Nested along the bank of the Huangpu River. Recreating a modern, luxurious guest journey, the hotel carries with it the long history of the Seamen’s Club and the Seagull Hotel.
It boasts 135 rooms, providing guests with a ‘Personal Havens ‘amidst the hustle and bustle to enjoy the picturesque scenery of The Bund and Lujiazui in Pudong.
At the same time, Regent Hotels strives to deliver on its promise, with ‘Regent Experience Agents ‘to masterfully ensure that each guest’s experience is effortless and tailored to their occasion or desire.
‘With Compliments ‘offers thoughtful privileges at no additional charge, including daily ironing services for three pieces of clothing and select snacks and beverages in the minibar. These little details build a calming and luxurious home experience that continues the legendary story of Regent.
Currently, Regent Hotels & Resorts has 11 hotels in operation, covering popular destinations around the world.
Among them, Regent Santa Monica Beach was unveiled on October 15, 2024, offering a superb haven of relaxation by the sea. In addition, 11 hotels in pipeline at major gateway cities and resorts, such as Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Kyoto and Sanya, as the Regent pens a wonderful next chapter to its legacy.

Emirates delights customers with perfectly paired Moët & Chandon Champagne and Canapés Menu
In the heart of Emirates’ busiest lounge in Dubai – the Concourse B Business Class Lounge in Terminal 3, Dubai International Airport, sits a one-of-kind experience – the Moët & Chandon Champagne Lounge.
Continuing Emirates and Moët Hennessy’s longstanding partnership of 32 years, the latest collaboration features a newly designed champagne and canapés pairing menu, curated over several months by Emirates master chefs and champagne experts from the house of Moët & Chandon.
Created and constructed exclusively for Emirates, the elegant Moët & Chandon Champagne Lounge features an eye-catching golden wave design adorned with 2,400 intricate gold leaves applied individually by hand. Within the lounge, four of the finest Moët & Chandon champagnes are available, with latest collection launched last month featuring Moët & Chandon Impérial, Rosé Impérial, Nectar Impérial and Grand Vintage 2013.
Before boarding a flight, Emirates customers are invited to relax in the lounge, and transform their waiting time into a learning experience and exploration of the pairing of iconic champagne and meticulously crafted cuisine. Customers will be able to sample and explore the pairings, which were crafted based on three principles;
Minimalist ingredients with maximum impact – Emirates chefs prioritized using high-quality, seasonal ingredients to create a symphony of flavours without overwhelming the palate. This approach allows the natural notes of the champagne to shine through and creates a more balanced dining experience, like the signature foie gras offering which features only three components: brioche, foie gras, and fig. This allows each ingredient to play its part, highlighting the richness of the foie gras with the sweetness of the fig and the buttery base of the brioche.
Flavour harmony – Emirates and Moët & Chandon have carefully considered the flavour profiles of both the champagne and the canapés, ensuring they complement each other seamlessly, like incorporating berries or citrus that echo the fruit notes in the champagne, or balancing creamy textures with a touch of acidity.
Visual appeal – The pairing experts from Emirates and Moët & Chandon believe food should be a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds and took pride in crafting visually stunning canapés that are meticulously arranged and plated, adding to the immersive experience.
The first Champagne guests are invited to sample is Moët Impérial Brut. With a striking nose of green apple and citrus, followed by mineral freshness and white flowers – this champagne is cellared for 24 months. It offers the blonde nuances of brioche, grains and fresh nuts, and its fine bubbles and subtle palate lends itself perfectly to seafood and pronounced acidity tempered by fat.
Emirates has paired Moët Impérial Brut with four individual dishes, which are served throughout the month; Salmon tiradito on calamansi leche de tigre, Grilled Obsiblue shrimps, watermelon and feta salad, Tuna tartare with fresh orange segment, or Scallop tataki.
The second Champagne featured is Moët Rosé Impérial, cellared for 21 months and offering an intense bouquet of red fruits, rose petals and florals, underscored by a hint of pepper.
This cuvée pairs perfectly with colourful summer vegetables and fresh green herbs. Emirates recommends trying Moët Impérial Rosé with four paired dishes, served throughout the month; Beetroot moutabel with akawi cheese and pine seeds, Fennel infused spinach and asparagus dip with grilled asparagus and yuzu pearls, Beetroot tartare with sesame seeds and dill or Bocconcini cheese with basil infused green melon and pine seeds.
The third recommended Champagne is the memorable Moët Grand Vintage 2013. Grand Vintage 2013 is a unique cuvée, benefitting from 7 years in the cellar and presenting soft autumnal notes, followed by a palate of ripe pear, grapefruit and toasted nuts.
To enhance the delicacy of the Champagne, Emirates master chefs have paired Moët Grand Vintage 2013 with four bespoke dishes, served throughout the month; Foie gras on toasted brioche with fresh fig and Maldon salt, Duck rillette with chive mayonnaise, Foie gras on toasted brioche with quince and Maldon salt and Foie gras on toasted brioche with passionfruit, mango and Maldon salt.
The final Champagne featured in the pairing menu is the unique Moët Nectar Impérial, cellared for 18 months and featuring flavours of pineapple, mango, plum and apricot with a dash of vanilla.
Ideally served with a sweet and fruity dessert, Emirates is serving Nectar Impérial with four dessert canapés, served throughout the month; Tropical crème, Mango trifle, Lemon cream pannacotta, and Blueberry cheesecake.
Access to the Moët & Chandon Champagne Lounge and new pairing menu is complimentary for all guests of the Concourse B Business Class Lounge in Terminal 3, Dubai International Airport.

Marriott Bonvoy Launches 2024 “Taste of Wonders” With Themed Menus In Over 300 Chinese Restaurants Across Greater China
Marriott Bonvoy recently officially launched its 2024 “Taste of Wonders” F&B marketing campaign in Greater China with the debut of a food documentary titled “Taste of Wonders, Flavors of North and South.”
Developed in collaboration with renowned Chinese documentary director Chen Xiaoqing, the film explores the vibrant people and culture behind Chinese cuisine, and centers around the Chinese word “Xian,” which means both “fresh ingredients” and “delicate flavor.”
As part of the campaign, over 300 Chinese restaurants across Greater China will create themed menus based on “Seasonal Cuisines,” “Wine/Tea Pairing,” “Home Style Dishes” and “Local Menu Co-Creation.”
Exploring Connections: Fresh Food, Seasonal Emblems and Hometown Memories
“Taste of Wonders, Flavors of North and South” delves into the emotional connections people have with food. Director and advisor to the campaign Chen Xiaoqing commented, “Our ancestors took inspiration for the word ‘Xian’ from the harvests of the land, lakes and seas. This single word represents not only a rich history, but also a philosophy about the cyclical rhythm of nature’s four seasons and their association with people’s longing for home.”
“I am thrilled to once again team up with director Chen Xiaoqing to take food enthusiasts on a culinary journey through the vast and diverse landscape of China,” expressed Michael Malik, Chief Operations Officer, Greater China at Marriott International.
“We have always strived to provide top-notch dining experiences tailored to local palates. In today’s dining scene, there is a growing emphasis on freshness and seasonality. In 2024, ‘Taste of Wonders’ will spotlight our Chinese restaurants, leveraging our distinct Chinese cuisine brands and talented chefs to offer guests multi-faceted dining experiences. We hope to be a favorite dining destination where connect diners with one another.”
With the launch of the campaign, over 300 Marriott Bonvoy’s Chinese restaurants will center around the theme of “Xian” and invite guests to embark on a cross-country voyage of food discovery.
A “Taste of Wonders, Flavors of North and South” launch dinner was hosted at the newly opened Renaissance Beijing Haidian Hotel.
The dinner was orchestrated by 7 young and talented chefs from Marriott Bonvoy hotels in Greater China, drew inspiration from the “Xian” concept and presented a culinary journey that condensed flavors of the South to the North.
A Gathering of Tastemakers to Highlight the Future of Dining
In accordance with the campaign launch, Marriott International also held the first “F&B Inner Circle Panel” to discuss the latest insights on the food & beverage industry.
Four of China’s leading F&B critics including Xiao Kuan, Huang Ke, Hou Decheng, and Qin Chao were invited to engage in an in-depth dialogue with Marriott International representatives. The session unpacked the cutting-edge trends and perspectives shaping the current industry landscape, shedding light on the group’s localization strategy for catering moving forward.

- New data reveals 77% of parents* think having some time apart from their family – especially after the busy summer holidays – is important.
- A further 32% of Brits would like to book a night on their own to pamper themselves in peace.
As summer comes to an end, 70% of parents admit to feeling exhausted after the summer holidays. To help people rest and recharge, solo, IHG Hotels & Resorts is launching a new NOMO (Night On My Own) package.
No kids, no partner, no pets, no housemates, just some time to unwind and be taken care of at a hotel – a discounted stay, 20% off food and drink (including room service), extra late check-out until 2pm plus other perks at IHG Hotels & Resorts properties across the UK & Ireland.
Parents aren’t the only ones in need of a night on their own, with a staggering 42% of Brits likely to book a night away on their own after the summer holidays, increasing to nearly 70% for those aged 25 to 34.
A third also claim they would book a night away to pamper themselves in peace.
Abbey Clancy, Model, TV Personality & Mum who has teamed up with IHG Hotels & Resorts to launch NOMO, said: “As a busy mum of four, I know how exhausting the summer holidays can be, and although I’m sad they’re over, it’ll also be really nice to have a bit of time on my own.”
IHG’s NOMO package will help empower more Brits to hit the reset button and enjoy a solo escape. Available across more than 115 participating IHG properties nationwide, guests will be able to enjoy:
- Free breakfast
- Extra late check-out until 2PM
- 20% off a single occupancy one-night booking
- 20% off all food and drinks (including room service)
- Complimentary access to any pool, gym and spa facilities
Joanna Kurowska, Managing Director UK&I at IHG Hotels & Resorts said: “We all value some well-deserved ‘me’ time – whether it’s a break from the demands of childcare, a moment of self-reflection away from our partners or simply an opportunity to take a breath from the stress of our working life. Our survey data backs up how much people would like to enjoy a night alone, especially after a busy and intense summer.
Our new NOMO package helps people to do just that, with the ability to choose from more than 115 of our hotels in the UK & Ireland and from a brand for every budget. This opportunity to switch off and be cared for, even just for a night, can be a powerful tool to finding our balance back.”
Respondents shared that if they could enjoy a night on their own, the top 5 things they’d prioritise would be: stay in bed (14%), take a bath (15%), binge a TV show (13%), open a bottle of wine (12%) or read a book (10%).
Book at ihg.com/nomo now for stays before 25 October 2024.
