Past assignments, #latergrams and #livegrams will keep you right up to date, and occasionally you can have the first sneak peek behind the scenes of the hottest new hotels.

New hotels

We were thrilled to work on a new project for legendary hotelier Adrian Zecha and founder of Aman resorts, who in 2017 founded his own new brand Azerai.
His first property is now open in the UNESCO world heritage town of Luang Prabang in Laos. Simple minimalist elegance in true Zecha fashion.

Historic Hotels / heritage Hotels

The Alvear Palace in Buenos Aires, in Buenos Aires, the grand dame of South American luxury travel, was one of the first heritage hotels to be featured on the Hotel Essence Instagram feed.

It’s so photogenic, but the thing that we loved most about this hotel was that everyone we met, from the marketing team to the maids, just loved to work at the Alvear Palace – and it really shows.
