Carlson Rezidor Launches New Luxury Chain

It's becoming more and more obvious that many passengers want to have a comfortable start to their trip, and the competition over premium travellers is constantly increasing. The next company to take a step into the luxury market is Carlson Rezidor, who are now launching their new luxury Quorvus Collection. The hotel collection was launched at the Arabian Hotel Investment Conference in Dubai by Wolfgang M. Neumann, global CEO for the Rezidor Hotel Group.

Three hotels will start off the Quorvus Collection -

The May Fair Hotel

in London,

G&V Royal Mile

in Edinburgh, and

Symphony Style Hotel

in Kuwait. The name, Quorvus Collection, comes from the star sign Corvus which is situated in the southern sky. The collection consists of a new generation of hotels which, according to Carlson Rezidor, get their inspiration from the global and modern renaissance lifestyle. – Even though every hotel in the collection has its own unique style, personality and heritage, they also have one thing in common; "they all offer a five-star hotel experience", says Wolfgang M. Neumann.

The May Fair Hotel

in London is of modern design, and combines a quaint boutique feeling with excellent service. The hotel has the famous May Fair Bar where you can enjoy over 40 different drinks, including the famous May Fair Mojito. The hotel was opened by King George V in 1927, and offers 404 room of which 12 are suites. The hotel also has a film theatre, The May Fair Theatre with seats for 200 guests, as well as a spa section, The May Fair Spa. The hotel

G&V Royal Mile,

The restaurant ”Cucina” serves dishes inspired by the Italian kitchen while you can also go get a drink in the ”Fashionista Bar G&V”. There are also three conference rooms, a relaxation department, and a spa. The
