TRIBE Opens New Hotel at Budapest Airport
Founded in Australia in 2017, TRIBE currently has over 20 hotels in operation and more than 30 projects in development. TRIBE hotels boast functional and stylish living spaces for guests to live, work, and play, providing all the essentials for a seamless and elevated stay. Key locations include city centres and major tourist destinations, such as Amsterdam, Perth, London, Paris, and Budapest.
With 167 smartly designed rooms, TRIBE Budapest Airport caters to business travellers, digital nomads, and short-stay guests seeking comfort, convenience, and a high-end feel at a fair price. Thoughtfully curated interiors feature a confident mix of sleek design, urban textures, and unexpected contrasts - the essence of TRIBE's mix & match style.
A spacious restaurant and lounge can accommodate up to 140 guests, featuring an outdoor terrace for 60, making it the perfect spot to eat, meet, or unwind. Additionally, there's a rooftop skybar with panoramic views, a fitness centre on the 7th floor, a 150-seat conference room, and two meeting spaces. The building is also poised to become one of Hungary's first BREEAM-certified hotels, blending style with sustainability.
Over the past 25 years, WING has become a key player in the modern real estate market of Hungary and the Central European region, developing iconic buildings that define Budapest's cityscape. As a leading real estate company in Central Europe with a strong international presence, WING is committed to long-term value creation through high-quality, sustainable, and community-focused buildings. TRIBE Budapest Airport Hotel enhances the infrastructure of Liszt Ferenc International Airport and further strengthens Budapest's role as a regional business and tourism hub. With this development, WING joins the leading real estate developers in Hungary that have delivered over 1,000 hotel rooms.
This is not the first cooperation between Accor and WING. In 2018, Hungary's first - and so far, only - airport hotel with a connection to the terminal, ibis Styles Budapest Airport, was also opened in partnership with the two companies. TRIBE made its Hungary debut in 2023 with the dual-branded ibis & TRIBE Budapest Stadium at Liberty, WING's mixed-use development.
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.

MAMA Shelter Singapore Makes Her Debut: Don't Just Stay, Live For The Night
Mama Shelter, the iconoclastic hotel brand known for blending hospitality with personality, will make her long-awaited Asian debut this September with the opening of Mama Shelter Singapore. Located on Killiney Road in the Somerset district, the 115-room property brings the brand's signature character, colour and culture to one of the world's most dynamic cities. Part of Ennismore, a global collective of lifestyle hospitality brands under Accor, Mama Shelter was born in Paris and has since grown to 20 locations worldwide, from London to Lisbon, Dubai to Nice. More than just a place to sleep, Mama Shelter Singapore is a space to live, dine, dance and connect. It's a destination where the energy flows freely, from the design to the drinks list, from the rooms to the rooftop. A NEW BREED OF HOSPITALITY Mama's bringing a new kind of hospitality to Singapore, one that celebrates community, creativity and delivers soul. Mama's not luxury, she's not budget, she's something altogether more human and desirable. It's the kind of hospitality where people from all walks of life can come together and share authentic experiences. At Mama, the hotel room is never the point of entry. The experience begins the moment you arrive. From the street, the building's sculptural exterior is framed in confident lines and colour, a fitting first impression for what's inside. Step through the doors and you're greeted by a cinematic swirl of design, music and movement. Inside, the open-plan lobby, restaurant and island bar buzz with colour, conversation and the unmistakable energy of Mama. Arcade games, board games and pet-friendly tables bring a sense of play, while a raised stage and DJ booth provide the heartbeat for regular live sets and entertainment. At Mama Shelter Singapore, entertainment is not background noise, it is the soul of the space. Rooted in Singapore's creative scene, Mama brings together DJs, artists, performers and makers who reflect the pulse of the city. From rooftop sundowners and family brunches to late-night sets and unexpected pop-ups, every occasion is a celebration. Regular programming champions bold self-expression, nostalgic joy and fresh discovery, blurring the lines between guest and local, stage and floor, hotel and home — because at Mama, everyone's part of the party. DESIGN Designed by long-time collaborators Dion & Arles, Mama Shelter Singapore is a vibrant celebration of cultural fusion and creative freedom. The interiors are layered with texture, storytelling and symbolism, blending Mama's playful roots with the rich visual language of Singapore. Neon signage, colourful murals and eclectic furnishings create a sense of intimacy and irreverence, while every corner reveals something unexpected. Even the lifts, which are lined with patterned upholstery, mirrors and moody lighting, set the tone for the journey up. Drawing on Singapore's multicultural identity, the design takes inspiration from traditional dress and local iconography. Expect bold contrasts, joyful colours and layered patterns, with no separation between good taste and bad taste, just an open invitation to express. Peranakan influences appear throughout, from wedding-dress-inspired carpets in the rooms to vibrant tiles on the rooftop and around the pizza oven. Animal motifs like peacocks are woven into soft furnishings, while details such as bamboo-shaped furniture legs, wooden beads and turned wood features create a rich visual language. A bespoke stained-glass panel at the entrance adds an unexpected touch on arrival. The rooftop is imagined as a jungle clearing, surrounded by tropical greenery and mosaic-tiled pools. Sunken game tables, a shell fresco and Peranakan tiles bring colour and texture, while organic shapes and natural wood furniture form pockets for privacy or play. Almost half the rooms come with private terraces, a new high for Mama, and a rooftop pool brings a new resort-style energy to the brand. Anchoring it all is a monumental ceiling mural by Parisian street artist Beniloys, who spent three months on site to hand-paint a sweeping narrative through the restaurant, rooftop and lift lobbies. Featuring peacocks, tigers, dragons, birds, sailboats and garden scenes, the mural captures Singapore's maritime roots, multicultural character and Garden City spirit. Mama Shelter Singapore is both a visitor and a resident, a ship in the harbour flying her own flag. DINING: A RESTAURANT WITH ROOMS ABOVE IT At Mama Shelter, the restaurant is the reason you come, the room is just a bonus, and Mama Shelter Singapore is taking this to the next level. On the ground floor, Mama Restaurant and Island Bar serve an all-day brasserie-style menu that's playful, soulful and just a little mischievous. Executive Chef Eugene Tan, formerly of Panamericana fame, brings local spark to international favourites. The drinks list, developed in collaboration with acclaimed bartender Hazel Long of Junior the Pocket Bar, blends fresh signatures, local ingredients and plenty of personality in every glass. On Sundays, Mama's signature brunch delivers a generous all-out spread that's made for lingering. It's relaxed, a little indulgent and perfect for friends, families or the morning after. Expect cold cuts, cheeses, fresh and fulfilling salads, pastas and roast joints, along with playful signatures. The dessert table seals the deal. Everything is homemade, hearty and full of flavour, just how Mama likes it. Up at Mama Rooftop Bar & Restaurant, Mama offers an escape within the city. Surrounded by tropical greenery and mosaic-tiled pools, the space is both relaxed and theatrical. The air-conditioned restaurant provides a cool retreat, while low-slung loungers and striped umbrellas invite guests to linger longer. One of the hotel's two pools doubles as a stage for DJ sets and live performances, while the rooftop restaurant serves fresh, coastal Mediterranean dishes designed for sharing. Three tucked-away dining tables offer the ultimate setting for a rooftop dinner party, perfect for groups looking for a little privacy without losing the vibe. From artisanal pizzas to spritz jugs, it's Mama at her most playful with skyline views to match. EVERYONE'S WELCOME Mama Shelter Singapore is home to 115 guest rooms, all designed with comfort, cleverness and character in mind. Concrete walls are softened by patterned textiles and woven headboards. Carpets are inspired by Peranakan motifs, sheer lampshades contrasting with the occasional Bugs Bunny mask. The brand's first-ever bunk bedroom makes its debut here, ideal for families or groups of friends. All rooms come with five-star bedding, 100 percent satin cotton sheets, soundproofing, large screens with films on demand, and bathroom amenities by Ink & Water, an Australian brand known for its clean, cruelty-free formulations. Downstairs, the Mama Shop exists for guests to take a little piece of Mama home with them, as well as online at with a tightly-edited collection of T-shirts, caps, hoodies, tote bags and Mama's signature Ambiance fragrance. LOCATION: WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD Positioned between Orchard Road and the lifestyle precinct of New Bahru, Mama Shelter Singapore offers direct access to some of the city's most exciting retail, dining and cultural experiences. A short walk from Somerset MRT, the hotel sits at the crossroads of Singapore's history and its ever-evolving future and makes an ideal base for locals, tourists and business travellers alike. The property is led by General Manager Xavier Pougnard, who brings extensive experience in the hospitality industry to Mama's first Asian outpost. Known for his blend of precision, creativity and people-first leadership, Xavier is focused on building a culture rooted in fun, inclusivity and the highest standards.

BCD Travel's report reveals business travelers' satisfaction with hotels and other accommodation
UTRECHT, The Netherlands – BCD Travel recently surveyed 1,035 business travelers worldwide to explore their choice of hotels and other types of accommodation, as well as their booking behavior and experiences during business trips. Accommodation preferences Most travelers opt for midscale (3-star) or upscale (4-star) hotels when traveling for business. Hotel location (77%) plays a major role in selecting a hotel, along with employer policy (56%) and cost (53%). Travelers who occasionally stay in apartments say this type of accommodation is more convenient for longer stays, providing more space and the option to prepare meals and do laundry. Searching, booking and paying Over three-quarters of business travelers use their company's online booking tool (OBT) to search for accommodation, while a third turn to hotel websites or apps. When booking, 84% use their company's OBT, one in five book directly via supplier websites, while one in 10 call the hotel. Three-quarters pay with a corporate credit card. Virtual cards are used rarely. Three-quarters of travelers say their employer sets hotel rate limits, one in 10 report no limits and 18% don't know if their employer sets rate limits. A high-performing hotel program is never static. It's a dynamic strategy shaped by continuous rate monitoring, traveler insights and agile adjustments. By embracing dynamic sourcing, travel managers can respond in real time to shifting needs and market conditions, creating programs that deliver savings, earn traveler trust and drive adoption. Teri Miller, executive vice president, Global Client Team at BCD Traveler behavior Personal preferences strongly influence hotel choices: 77% prefer chain hotels with familiar service standards and 73%stay at the same hotel when visiting a destination repeatedly. Wi-Fi and breakfast are the most frequently used hotel services. Other popular amenities include on-site restaurants and bars, parking facilities, fitness centers and flexible check-in/check-out. Travelers also value wellbeing-related features, such as complimentary bottled water, gyms, pools, spas and healthy food options. Travelers favor hotels that help them earn and maximize loyalty points, especially in North America where as many as 99% are members of a hotel loyalty program. Overall, eight in 10 participate in at least one program and many are enrolled in two or more. Two-thirds often or always choose hotels aligned with their loyalty programs. Three-quarters say their employer allows them to keep points earned from business stays, while 21% are unsure. Challenges While seven in 10 are satisfied with their company's hotel policy and preferred suppliers, there's still room for improvement. Common issues include slow Wi-Fi, breakfast not being included in the rate, outdated rooms and uncomfortable beds. A third report no challenges during the booking process. Among those who do, the biggest challenge is insufficient rate limits set by employers. Safety remains a concern. Three in 10 say they didn't feel safe in their hotel location and seven in 10 double-lock their doors when in their rooms. Sustainability Half of travelers rarely or never consider environmental factors when booking hotels. Four in 10 don't take any sustainability elements into account at all. Only one in five look for features like eco-certification, reduced single-use plastics, low carbon emissions, water-saving measures or limited housekeeping. Hotels may not be the primary driver of carbon emissions in a travel program, but they're still an essential part of a holistic sustainability strategy. Travelers often don't consider sustainability when shopping for hotels because most booking tools lack strong sustainability guidance in that category. We advise clients to embed sustainability into their annual hotel sourcing exercise and then clearly communicate expectations and targets back to travelers to help them make better choices.

The August 14 episode will offer a timely discussion to help negotiate better rates for hotels in 2026. About BCD Travel BCD Travel helps companies travel smart and achieve more.

Hotel Gabrielli Venezia – Starhotels Collezione Opening 25 August, Presents Its Culinary Offering to the City
Opening summer 2025 and part of Starhotels Collezione, the new Hotel Gabrielli returns as a beacon of lagoon hospitality - respectful of its past and visionary in its outlook, and reimagined for 21st-century travellers. Once an essential stop on the Grand Tour and later a favourite retreat for Orient Express passengers due to its proximity to the Biennale Gardens and the Arsenale, the hotel is poised to once again become a gathering place for art lovers and creatives. With the imminent reopening of Hotel Gabrielli in the heart of the lagoon, following extensive restoration work, Starhotels unveils not only a new beacon for Venetian hospitality but also a refined culinary concept poised to balance authenticity and exploration. Now part of the Starhotels Collezione portfolio, Hotel Gabrielli fully embraces the group's culinary philosophy, championing local culinary traditions through a contemporary sensitivity and profound respect for territorial identity. Here, quality emerges from the commitment to ingredients sourced from local supply chains following the Km Veneto ethos, a value that becomes the essential expression of the connection between origin and innovation. Leading this vision is Executive Chef Mirko Pistorello, a native Venetian born in 1973 with international and Michelin-starred experience. At Gabrielli, Pistorello tells the story of a cuisine rooted in memory, nourished by measured gestures, regional products and the rhythm of the seasons. All of Hotel Gabrielli's dining spaces, conceived as open and fluid spaces have been designed to offer an exceptional all-day dining experience. In tribute to Franz Kafka, once an illustrious guest of the hotel, the restaurant Felice al Gabrielli and K Lounge Bar take centre stage. Felice al Gabrielli, named after Felice Bauer - the writer's beloved muse to whom he wrote many of his most famous letters within these very walls - is an intimate, refined setting that opens onto a quiet internal courtyard enhanced by jute-effect fabrics and native plants, evoking the discreet atmosphere of a winter garden. Here, the refined culinary experience revives the flavours of the past within a contemporary setting. The restaurant's à la carte menu showcases signature dishes by Chef Pistorello, such as Risi e Bisi with Bassano asparagus and pea peel powder, where raw ingredients are crafted across multiple textures and levels - an ode to sustainability and complete ingredient valorisation, with raw and cooked asparagus from Bassano del Grappa combining divinely with the dish. Other highlights include the Millefoglie di gambero in Saor with parsley gel and pine nut mayonnaise, and the unexpectedly reimagined Tira-misù, transformed in both form and texture. K Lounge Bar, with its warm tones and natural materials, forms the heart of Gabrielli, where the food & beverage offering draws inspiration from the flavours of the lagoon. But it's on the sixth floor that the hotel reveals its most scenic soul, with Terrazza Gabrielli: 150 square metres offering a panoramic view of the lagoon, with spectacular vistas of San Giorgio Island. With a vibrant yet understated atmosphere, it offers the perfect setting to savour traditional Venetian cicchetti, signature cocktails meticulously crafted by expert Bar Manager Diego Filippone, all while enjoying sunsets over San Marco and glimpses of the Lido. More than just a service for hotel guests, Gabrielli's culinary offering is designed for the city itself and for those seeking a refined experience in the heart of Venice. The hotel's cuisine becomes a mirror of a broader vision: understated elegance, cultured hospitality and a reverent interpretation of the region it celebrates. Hotel website
