Jumeirah Capri Palace Unveils New Suites and Pool Designed by Visionary Architect Patricia Urquiola
Jumeirah Capri Palace introduces five new suites, designed by architect Patricia Urquiola, each offering views of the captivating Bay of Naples and the hotel's stylish pool. Designed to invite the island inside, each suite reflects Capri's essence and easy living. Urquiola's redesign extends beyond the suites, bringing the same sense of place to the hotel's pool and bar areas.
Urquiola's design philosophy, deeply rooted in nature and cultural heritage, finds a natural expression at Jumeirah Capri Palace. Inspired by the idyllic island environment, Urquiola worked with a colour palette of warm terracotta, soft whites, and vivid blues. To mimic the gentle motion of waves against Capri's cliffs, Urquiola used undulating Cimento plaster to craft ripples in the walls and custom-designed furniture with organic curves. This harmony extends to the materials used - Palladian flooring, a tribute to Capri's architectural heritage, stretches through the lounge, while handcrafted Vietri tiles dress the plinths, the walls, floors and furniture, celebrating the region's tradition of craftsmanship.
Extending her poetic vision beyond the newly unveiled suites, Patricia Urquiola has reimagined the hotel's outdoor spaces. A lush Caprese garden now frames the Bar degli Artisti, the pool bar, and the newly landscaped lounge terrace all unified by Palladian flooring and a palette inspired by sea and stone. Light dances on textured surfaces, organic forms echo the coastline, and ceramic-clad structures pay homage to local craftsmanship. With a curated blend of materials, from rattan to glazed terracotta, and custom marble furnishings that nod to Villa San Michele, the result is a timeless celebration of island life.
Through this project, Jumeirah Capri Palace reaffirms a central aspect of its identity: a long-standing commitment to design, heritage and innovation through meaningful collaborations. The new suites complete and enrich a curated collection of exceptional, characterful spaces, each with their own distinct identity, further reinforcing the spirit of the destination.

Eduardo Gandia Martinez has been appointed Executive Chef at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa
Central to the ethos of Eduardo Gandia Martinez is the "art of cooking with heart and purpose." It's a value he learned from his grandmother in his native Spain that has guided him through an ambitious 12-year career. Now, in his new role as Executive Chef at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, Eduardo is set to bring heart, purpose and a Mediterranean respect for ingredients to the resort's award-winning culinary scene. A dynamic leader who thrives on creative experimentation, Eduardo honed his culinary talent across some of Spain's most celebrated Michelin-starred restaurants. His fusion of Med-inspired soulfulness and refined excellence was developed under maestros including Quique Dacosta, Francis Paniego, Martin Berasategui and Fran Martinez. Eduardo then went on to shape the dining experiences at leading global hotels including Hilton Malta, Malta; Hilton Mallorca Galatzó, Spain and Alila Jabal Akhdar, Hyatt Corporation, Oman. Luxury hospitality enabled Eduardo to embrace a wider range of operations, from larger teams to project management. It proved to be the perfect match for his natural drive and energy. A deep appreciation for the finest natural produce has its roots in Eduardo's Spanish childhood. Growing up in a family of farmers and butchers, he has vivid memories of walking hand in hand with his grandfather through vibrant local markets and enjoying sandwiches his father prepared with the best cured meats and cheeses. It was his maternal grandmother Maria who most influenced his style though, with her ability to "create extraordinary flavours from humble ingredients." Ingredients—and their sustainability—are at the heart of Eduardo's vision in his new role at the Forbes Five-Star garden island of Kuda Huraa. In terms of the Maldives' abundant ingredients, the ever-creative Eduardo doesn't want "to leave a single one unexplored." Eduardo's natural enthusiasm is equally matched by his forward-thinking leadership style. He's grateful that times have changed from the traditional hierarchical kitchen management style. Supporting every member of his teams to shine, he uses a combination of "active listening, individual empowerment, and continuous development." Becoming a father has further deepened Eduardo's inimitable dedication. He lives by the motto "Give your best, and the best will come back to you," adding "whether it's for your family, colleagues, work, or guests, never hold back on what you can offer."

WING will operate the new airport hotel under a management agreement with Accor. The architectural design of both the ibis Styles Budapest Airport Hotel and the newly built TRIBE Budapest Airport Hotel was carried out by Aspectus Architect, a subsidiary of WING. The design of the TRIBE building is based on the original sketches of lead architect László Szerdahelyi, whose vision and creativity continue to shape the project. The structural construction was carried out by Swietelsky Magyarország, with final construction and fit-out works managed by Bernecker. The interiors, designed for business and transit travellers in line with TRIBE's contemporary concept, are being created by este'r partners. Hotel website
