IA: Marriott rethinks hotel search with Ask Bonvoy
He won't be asked to draw a sheep. On the other hand, to book a room in the hotel that best suits his expectations, Ask Bonvoy is the ideal assistant.

Marriott: Two Hotels, Two Atmospheres in Budapest

T. Ward (W Hospitality): "Africa offers growth potential...
How do you explain the growing interest of major hotel groups in Africa? Trevor Ward - Hotel groups, particularly those listed on the stock exchange, absolutely need growth.

Dubai: the Burj Al Arab and other luxury hotels undergoing renovation
The image truly stuck with people: the façade of the Burj Al Arab damaged by debris from an intercepted Iranian drone. It was like an act of lèse-majesté for this emblem of Dubai, a collateral victim of the conflict that suddenly ignited the Gulf. "The emblem of the region," as Julien Soyez, the vice-president of communications, describes it...

Just parked in the car park. Anthony Capuano, CEO of the Marriott group, used a sporting metaphor to describe where the hotel industry stands in the game being heralded around artificial intelligence (AI): "We're not even dressed up yet, and we're not even on the pitch yet. We're just one...
Hotels: group growth driven by the EMEA region
Europe laughs, the United States cries. To put it bluntly, these are the conclusions of the annual results presented over the last few days by the world's leading hotel groups, led by the US.

Luxury: new hotels expected in 2026
For the moment, it's just a trunk. A very large trunk whose silver fronts monopolise the attention of passers-by on the Champs-Elysées. The criss-crossing Ls and Vs leave little mystery as to who owns the place. The first Louis Vuitton hotel could have been the flagship opening of 2026, like the Raffles at...
New business hotels in Kinshasa, luxury in Brazzaville
They are only forty minutes apart, including the ferry.

New hotels have just appeared within days of each other on either side of the river Congo....
