In a landmark move for the international hospitality industry, Maldives-based hotelier Atmosphere Core has announced its entry into the European market. The company, known for its rapid expansion and innovative hospitality approach, will launch BORGO MONCHIERO HERITAGE BY ATMOSPHERE, a luxury rural retreat in the scenic Langhe, Piedmont, Italy.
A Decade of Rapid Growth
Starting with a single resort in the Maldives in 2013, Atmosphere Core has quickly risen to become a major hospitality player in the region. Over the past two years, the company has expanded its portfolio to include over 25 properties across India and South Asia, positioning itself for international growth.
Group Managing Director Salil Panigrahi attributes the company's success to its unique culture of service:
"Since launching our first resort in 2013, we have forged a unique cultural belief in the ethos 'Joy of Giving'. By maintaining and strengthening this core value, we can bring our distinctive hospitality offerings to the world. At Atmosphere Core, we craft unforgettable moments that transcend geographical boundaries—creating experiences, not just hotels."
Strategic Partnerships Driving Expansion
As part of its international strategy, Atmosphere Core has established key partnerships across Europe. Among these, its Wine Program Initiative has partnered with Bottega S.p.A., the world's leading Prosecco brand. This collaboration will not only bring award-winning wines to Atmosphere Core's properties but also introduce themed culinary experiences.
"Significant partnerships like Bottega take our business to every corner of the planet," Panigrahi noted. "This special relationship is just one of many that brought Italy to Atmosphere Core, and now we are bringing Atmosphere Core to Italy. We are excited to launch our first European destination in 2026."
A Historic Monastery Turned Luxury Retreat
BORGO MONCHIERO HERITAGE BY ATMOSPHERE is the latest addition to the 'HERITAGE BY ATMOSPHERE' collection under the Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts brand. Originally built in 1773 as a monastery, the property is being transformed into a luxury countryside retreat, preserving its Romanesque architecture and frescoes while integrating modern amenities.
Situated in UNESCO-protected Langhe, a region renowned for Barolo and Barbera wines, the retreat will feature 19 suites and rooms, a restored chapel for weddings, a spa, an outdoor pool, a fine dining restaurant, and event spaces.

Stock markets diverge awaiting Fed signals as tech sell-off deepens

Stock markets fluctuated yesterday, with many investors sticking to the sidelines while hoping for clues on US interest rate moves. Trading volumes were light overall, with another pullback in US tech heavyweights spurring caution after their stellar run since April. Tuesday's tech sell-off, which extended into Wednesday, was 'sparked by concerns about overexcitement and overvaluations in AI stocks', said Victoria Scholar, head of investment at Interactive Investor. Wall Street was mostly lower at the open, with the techheavy Nasdaq falling again as shares in AI chip-maker Nvidia fell 1.7 percent ahead of its earnings release next week. Its rival Advanced Micro Devices and software provider Palantir also saw heavy selling again on Wednesday. Paris and Frankfurt fell, with European defence stocks adding to losses on signs that a path may be clearing for Ukraine peace talks. London's FTSE 100 index rose but the pound fell back from earlier highs after UK inflation rose more than expected in July, dampening hopes that the Bank of England will cut rates again this year. All eyes are now on the release later Wednesday of the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest meeting, which could show if more board governors favour rate cuts soon. Fed chief Jerome Powell -- who has resisted President Donald Trump's vociferous calls for rate cuts -- will then give a key speech Friday at the annual central bankers conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Data last week provided a mixed picture of inflation in the United States, making it uncertain if the Fed will lower rates as many investors expect in September -- which could bolster growth in the world's biggest economy. Traders have also been watching the recent diplomatic whirlwind aimed at resolving the war in Ukraine, after President Donald Trump's high-stakes meeting with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Eyes are now on potential face-to-face talks between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has said he is ready for such a meeting. Oil prices rose, recovering part of the losses from the previous day, as investors monitored progress on Ukraine peace talks.

Stock markets cautious with eyes on Ukraine talks, US rates

European stock markets rose while Wall Street diverged yesterday as investors warily eyed signs of progress in talks to end Russia's war in Ukraine. Markets were also waiting for a key speech by the US Federal Reserve chief this week for clues on interest rate cuts that could bolster the world's biggest economy. Hopes for a Ukraine breakthrough rose after US President Donald Trump said he spoke by phone with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. Zelensky said he was ready for what would be his first faceto-face talks with Putin since Russia's invasion nearly three and a half years ago. Wall Street opened mixed, as the broad-based S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq indexes retreated while the Dow rose. London, Paris and Frankfurt stocks all closed higher following a lacklustre session for Asian stock markets. Defence stocks fell sharply as chances grew for a breakthrough in Ukraine peace talks, with Germany's Rheinmetall dropping 4.7 percent and France's Thales down 4.1 percent. Investors were also eagerly awaiting a speech on Friday by US Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell at the annual retreat of global central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Traders hope Powell will provide more clues about a widely expected interest-rate cut at the Fed's September meeting, after data last week provided a mixed picture about inflation. 'Markets seem to be exercising some caution ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting later this week and as talks over a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine remain inconclusive,' said AJ Bell head of financial analysis Danni Hewson. Oil prices, which have been volatile for several days -- Russia is a major crude producer -- retreated by around one% after gains on Monday. 'Oil prices have dropped a little as a deal edges closer, given that it's likely to lead to an easing of sanctions on Russia energy imports, increasing supplies on global markets,' said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown. Japan's Nikkei briefly hit a record before retreating to close down 0.4%. Shanghai ended flat while Hong Kong, Sydney and Seoul fell, and Singapore, Bangkok and Mumbai edged up. Among individual companies, Intel shares advanced 6.9 percent in New York after Japan-based tech investment giant SoftBank said it would invest $2 billion in the troubled US chip giant.
