Ascott unveils brand refresh of The Unlimited Collection as brand portfolio triples riding on growth in experiential travel

  • The Unlimited Collection focuses on cultural charms to meet travellers’ aspirations for authentic and immersive local cultural experiences
  • From debuting in Singapore with three properties, The Unlimited Collection now comprises 11 properties across Asia, Europe and the Middle East
  • First resort property under The Unlimited Collection begins operations in Vietnam

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 August 2024 – The Ascott Limited (Ascott), the lodging business unit wholly owned by CapitaLand Investment (CLI), has more than tripled its portfolio under The Unlimited Collection to 11 properties across Asia, Europe and the Middle East over the past year. As travellers seek meaningful engagement with a destination’s culture, people, food and environment, Ascott is launching a brand refresh of The Unlimited Collection to accentuate its focus on cultural charms. This will reinforce the global positioning of The Unlimited Collection as a curated selection of independent upscale hotels in vibrant neighbourhoods that feature exquisite designs and fulfil travellers’ aspirations for authentic and immersive local cultural experiences.

The Unlimited Collection debuted in 2020 with three properties in Singapore[1] – Ann Siang House by The Unlimited Collection, KēSa House by The Unlimited Collection and Wanderlust by The Unlimited Collection – all of which are located within conserved buildings in cultural districts but each with its own design and character. With unique experiences delivered in the most charming of locations, KēSa House and Wanderlust by The Unlimited Collection were recently ranked as the Best Boutique Hotel and Best Hotel for Couples in Singapore respectively by Forbes. Tapping the popularity of experiential travel, Ascott added eight new properties to The Unlimited Collection in the past year. The Unlimited Collection now comprises more than 900 units, both operating and in the pipeline, spanning eight cities globally.

Ms Serena Lim, Chief Growth Officer, Ascott, said: “Our collection brands form a key pillar of Ascott’s growth plans as they enable us to partner with independent owners who wish to preserve the unique identities of their properties while leveraging Ascott’s expertise in hospitality management, supported by our global distribution system and loyalty network. In recent years, we have witnessed increasing interest in Ascott’s collection brands as they offer owners flexibility, ease of conversion and quick time-to-market while preserving the distinctive nature of each property. As a result, we have made good headway with the heritage-focused The Crest Collection brand in the luxury hotel segment, amassing 13 properties in Europe and Asia with over 1,600 units to date. The Unlimited Collection, that focuses on accentuating the unique cultural charms of each property, is our next global collection brand success with eight properties added in the past year. We see potential in further scaling The Unlimited Collection through offering customised support to owners who seek to capitalise on growing guest demand for authentic local experiences.”

Ms Tan Bee Leng, Chief Commercial Officer, Ascott, said: “Travellers nowadays are willing to invest more in experiences that are true to local culture. For Ascott, it means building up a brand rooted in the power of discovery and the magic of authentic experiences. As more travellers aspire to embrace the local way of life, The Unlimited Collection rises to the occasion with curated experiential stays that appeal to this emerging breed of travellers who seeks an immersive sense of place. Designed to offer an authentic experience from each destination, every property in The Unlimited Collection is a local landmark featuring exquisite designs that leads guests to intriguing personal discoveries and engaging cultural appreciation. With its refreshed brand focus on the charm of culture, we are confident The Unlimited Collection will foster a deeper connection between our guests and the destinations they visit, making every stay memorable and unique.”

Following the launch of The Unlimited Collection in Singapore, the brand took root in Vietnam in December 2023 with the opening of the 100-unit Anmira Resort & Spa Hoi An by The Unlimited Collection, located between the vibrant Hoi An Old Town and the pristine shores of Cua Dai and An Bang Beach. The opening marked the first resort under The Unlimited Collection.

Poised for further expansion into Malaysia and Indonesia, the brand will also see the addition of more than 200 units across three properties by end 2025. These properties are Macalister Hotel Penang by The Unlimited Collection, Amatonn Hotel & Residence by The Unlimited Collection and Costaluna Batam by The Unlimited Collection.

Europe

Please refer to Annex for more information on these eight properties that have been added to The Unlimited Collection since 2023.

The Unlimited Collection Brand Refresh

The Unlimited Collection brand refresh is a continuation of Ascott’s Brand360 strategy, a groupwide initiative to strengthen its brand portfolio through sharpened brand stories and the introduction of signature experiences and programmes unique to each brand. According to the 2023 Global Travel Trends Report by American Express, 85% of respondents expressed an interest in discovering hidden gems and are keen to visit a place where they can truly experience the local culture. The refreshed brand’s focus on cultural charms distinguishes The Unlimited Collection as a portfolio of storied hotels featuring exquisite designs in exciting locations.

Focused on delivering unscripted, unchartered, unconventional and unforgettable experiences, The Unlimited Collection accentuates the bohemian charm of cultural enclaves, bringing guests on an adventure in lively neighbourhoods filled with colourful sights, sounds, tastes and personalities. Guests will be treated to a kaleidoscope of festivals, art, music, craft, food and language steeped in local culture that fascinates even the most discerning of wanderlusts.

Embodying the brand essence, Ann Siang House by The Unlimited Collection in Singapore is a restored heritage building nestled on the outskirts of the historic Telok Ayer sub-district of Chinatown, where a multitude of world-class bars and trendy eateries sit at its doorstep. Whether it is the bustle of the city or the stories of the old streets in the culturally rich precinct, guests of Ann Siang House can indulge in a genuine experience that encompasses the exquisite cultural essence of Singapore.

In another example, Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection will enhance its reputation as a cultural icon celebrating the best of local Irish music after completing its rebranding exercise. Located along Fleet Street, a vibrant neighbourhood steeped in music, art, culture and history, the hotel is home to Buskers Bar, a lively contemporary bar and renowned landmark, and Buskers on the Ball, an award-winning sports bar. Hotel guests can stroll along the cobbled streets of the Temple Bar district to explore various markets, galleries and boutiques during the day, and immerse in the buzzy atmosphere filled with live music gigs from popular Irish pubs when night falls.

Presenting The Unlimited Collection’s Brand Signatures

With a strong design intent inspired by each neighbourhood’s culture, The Unlimited Collection elevates the authentic to the extraordinary with its approach on Unique Design. Melding tradition with modernity, KēSa House by The Unlimited Collection for example is a standout flexible stay property located across 10 contiguous shophouses along Keong Saik Road in Singapore’s Chinatown. In the hipster enclave of Jalan Besar located close by, Wanderlust by The Unlimited Collection is housed in a heritage 1920s Art Deco style building, with interiors that merge old world charm with modern day comforts. Over in Vietnam, Anmira Resort & Spa Hoi An by The Unlimited Collection melds Hoi An’s historic tradition into alluring designs, with each room featuring a distinctive Indochina architectural style.

Slated to open by the end of 2024, Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection reimagines the heritage of the hotel for wanderlusts and connoisseurs, featuring a ‘Library Lobby’ decked out in books and framed artefacts waxing lyrical about the best small batch scotch whisky and iconic works from generations of Scottish writers. The Grand Hotel Leicester by The Unlimited Collection welcomes guests to experience the opulence of the Grade II listed Victorian building that has played host to several historic events.

Another brand signature is The U Shop, a retail concept unique to The Unlimited Collection properties, offering an array of property merchandise created in collaboration with local artists and crafters. Showcasing one-of-a-kind local trinkets and charms, The U Shop ensures that guests can take home a cherished local memento that authentically embodies each destination’s cultural tapestry.

The Unlimited Collection is a realm for adventure-seekers looking to freely embrace their true self. Fusing rich character, extraordinary designs and new perspectives of experiencing each destination, guests can dot their travel journeys with unique stories. A melting pot of intriguing spirits and stories, The U Bar at The Unlimited Collection properties invite guests to experience a fusion of classic and creativity, while sharing passions with fellow wanderlusts.

Associates of The Unlimited Collection, known affectionately as Gen-U, live the bohemian charm of the locale and help guests create their own distinctive experiences that are anything but ordinary. Embodying the core of creativity and authenticity, Gen-Us are trendsetters who are always in the know of the latest happenings in town. They are unconventional and always there to delight guests with thoughtfully unique surprises, and are culturists who are passionate about bringing remarkable and undiscovered experiences to everyone.

A brand film titled ‘Be a Gen-U: A Generation for Unlimited Experiences‘, will roll out on various digital and social channels as part of the brand refresh of The Unlimited Collection. The film illustrates how a Gen-U embarks on an unscripted adventure, exploring charming destinations and immersing herself in cultural experiences to discover what propels her to travel. It highlights The Unlimited Collection’s refreshed brand story and signatures through a kaleidoscope of festivals, art, music, craft, food and languages steeped in local culture.

Alibaba Cloud Elevates Paris 2024’s Games Viewing Experience with Cloud Technologies

Advanced cloud-based initiatives help enhance spectator experience while helping with sustainability planning for future hosting cities


PARIS, FRANCE – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 August 2024 Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, has harnessed the power of its cloud technologies to drive multiple initiatives throughout the Olympic Games Paris 2024 (Paris 2024). These efforts were made to empower media professionals in their coverage of the Games, while also elevating the engagement for worldwide sports fans through a range of innovative applications.

“Alibaba plays an essential role when it comes to supporting technology during the Olympic Games, greatly increasing the efficiency and sustainability of Olympic Games operations. Our partnership also extends beyond the Olympic Games, with Alibaba playing a defining role in our Olympic AI Agenda, helping us harness the great potential of AI in a responsible way. All these examples highlight how Alibaba is the perfect partner when it comes to shaping our digital future,” said Thomas Bach, President of International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Enriching Media Asset Management with Deep-learning Archiving Solution

Alibaba Cloud has collaborated with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to launch a Media Archiving AI Solution. This cloud-based solution provides enhanced visual search functions, automatic categorization of multimedia content, and video highlight production through AI-powered media asset management services.

The IOC Media Archiving AI solution marks a significant breakthrough in sports media archiving. The solution’s automatic video highlight generation, powered by Alibaba Cloud’s visual AI, identifies and compiles memorable moments in the games of boxing and archery during Paris 2024. This feature assists media professionals with their video storytelling, enriching the Games viewing experience for the global audience.

Furthermore, Alibaba Cloud’s proprietary AI algorithms streamline the indexing and categorization of the decades-old Olympic audiovisual and photo collections, making the Olympic Archive more searchable, and therefore, enhancing content discovery while optimizing the media asset management workflows.

At the Alibaba Wonder Avenue (AWA), Alibaba Cloud also debuted its Smart Virtual Boxing project. Alibaba Cloud’s proprietary LLM Qwen was applied to enable analysis of the moves and performances of each player during the Virtual Boxing match, providing real-time commentary in both English and French of each player’s approach and predicted their performance in the next round, thereby enriching the spectator experience.

“Virtual sports are increasingly popular worldwide, enhancing accessibility and encouraging more diverse participation in sports,” Yuan added. “We are committed to expanding the benefits driven by innovative technologies to both traditional sports and e-sports disciplines.”

Accentuating Key Games Moments with 360-Degree Slow Motion Replays

During Paris 2024, Multi-Camera Replay Systems by OBS Cloud, a collaborative initiative between the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) and Alibaba Cloud, provided 360-degree, frame-freeze slow-motion replays. Footage was sent to the cloud, where Alibaba Cloud’s AI-driven computing capabilities enabled live spatial reconstruction and real-time 3D rendering before shared as replays, which facilitated a deeper understanding of pivotal game moments and were made available on OBS’ Content+ platform for comprehensive media analysis to all Media Rights-Holders (MRHs).

During Paris 2024, the systems had produced and delivered thousands of replay clips, covering a range of sports including basketball, gymnastics, tennis, beach volleyball and rugby sevens. The Multi-Camera Replay Systems is part of the newly-launched OBS Cloud 3.0, which was used as the main method to distribute remote content to support MRHs’ Olympics broadcasting coverage, including the spectacular Opening Ceremony of Paris 2024 that attracts tens of millions of viewers worldwide.

“Technologies like Alibaba Cloud’s technologies help us tell the stories of the best athletes in the world, and also the stories of the world coming together in ways which are more exciting and more inspirational. Having partners like Alibaba that help us bring this dream to life are very valuable for us,” said Yiannis Exarchos, CEO of OBS.

“Immersive Hong Kong” roving exhibition opens in Guangzhou


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 August 2024 – The “Immersive Hong Kong” roving exhibition opened in Guangzhou today. This is the fourth stop of the exhibition organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, following its successful stagings in three Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries, namely Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.

Organised by the Information Services Department and co-organised by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Guangdong (GDETO), the Guangzhou exhibition is part of a promotional campaign of the HKSAR Government to showcase the city’s new attractions, advantages and opportunities. Themed “Hong Kong – Where the World Looks Ahead”, the exhibition invites visitors from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) community to explore the unique potential for tourism, education, business and investment in Hong Kong.

Through interactive art technology, the “Immersive Hong Kong” exhibition enables visitors to immerse themselves in different virtual scenes representing the city with a creative twist. The five thematic zones, namely “Financial Bridgehead”, “I&T Brain Bank”, “Blossoming Creativity”, “Diversity and Greenery” and “Buzzing Sports Action”, feature multiple interactive art projections, light box installations and naked-eye 3D displays, presenting the multifaceted appeal of Hong Kong.

Visitors may also enjoy Hong Kong’s vibrant and colourful skyline, illustrated by Hong Kong artist Messy Desk (Jane Lee), at a photo corner in the venue. Promotional videos on Hong Kong and digital panels with information and insights from Mainland companies about their experiences in Hong Kong are also on display, explaining why the city is one of the most desirable places for visiting, living, working and investing.

Speaking at the opening ceremony today, the Director of Information Services, Mrs Apollonia Liu, said that on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it is particularly meaningful to hold the exhibition for the first time on the Mainland to introduce to Mainland visitors the latest developments of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. With this year also marking the fifth anniversary of the promulgation of the Outline Development Plan for the GBA, Guangzhou is a perfect venue for the exhibition, as both Hong Kong and Guangzhou are core cities of the GBA.

She said, “Sharing common historic roots and origins, Hong Kong and Guangdong have been working closely in promoting the development of the GBA, which has many opportunities to offer. We hope that through this exhibition, we can demonstrate, in a lively and interactive way, Hong Kong’s distinctive advantages of enjoying strong support of the motherland and being closely connected to the world. We also hope everyone will come to Hong Kong for tourism, study, business or investment, and make use of Hong Kong’s international platform to tap into overseas markets and develop their businesses.”

Mrs Liu expressed her hope that the exhibition would take visitors on a new immersive journey through various virtual scenes representing Hong Kong, which not only showcase Hong Kong’s unique cosmopolitan attractions, advantages and opportunities, but also demonstrate that the city is full of creativity and character. Among the thematic zones, “Buzzing Sports Action” is a newly added element this year. While Hong Kong athletes have achieved remarkable results at the Paris Olympic Games, there will be the 15th National Games next year, with Hong Kong co-hosting the event alongside Guangdong and Macao. The setting up of a thematic zone on sports serves as pre-heat publicity for the upcoming National Games.

The Director of the GDETO, Miss Linda So, stated, “In the five years since the promulgation of the Outline Development Plan for the GBA, the connectivity and integration between Hong Kong and the other cities of the GBA have covered various policy areas and reached an unprecedented high level. The GDETO will continue to serve as a bridge, promoting exchange and co-operation with the local governments, industry, and citizens in the GBA. We will also, through various activities, tell the Mainland communities good stories of Hong Kong and help them better understand the development opportunities and uniqueness of Hong Kong.”

To encourage more people to visit Hong Kong and attend various mega events in the city, an interactive game, “Snap a cool shot @Immersive Hong Kong”, is also featured as part of the exhibition. A total of 50 winners will each receive a free set of an admission ticket and a tasting pass for the “Hong Kong Wine and Dine Festival 2024” to be held in Hong Kong in October. The prizes are sponsored by the Hong Kong Tourism Board.

The exhibition is being held at OneLink Walk, a major shopping centre in Guangzhou, until August 18, 2024. Admission is free, and visitors will be offered souvenirs during the event. More information on the exhibition is available on the dedicated page on the Brand Hong Kong website (www.brandhk.gov.hk/en/campaign/hkpromotion-gba).
