Seabank Hotel in Mellieha Bay is currently closed and undergoing a major extension which will see it grow to 500 rooms, making it one of the biggest in Malta. It had been planned to reopen in May.

The Palais de la Méditerranée, a magnificent contemporary hotel with a listed facade, has renovated some of its bedrooms in a modern, elegant style that includes art deco lines to echo the architecture of the building. Its reception rooms and lounges (Madison, Azur and Vénitien) have also been renovated. The hotel has also been an award-winner, for the third year running, in the “Traveller’s Choice Awards 2012”, in the “Top 25 luxury hotels in France” category.

The five-star Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade now has a new façade following a renovation and the installation of an anti-seismic system on the building.  Located in one of the most emblematic areas of Lisboa, the Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade has been an integral part of the Avenida da Liberdade’s landscape for 20 years and contributes to city’s urban heritage.  The hotel is located in the city’s central business district, has 171 rooms, including 6 suites featuring a contemporary and sophisticated design and nine meeting rooms with a maximum capacity of up to 150 people in a theatre layout or 300 in a cocktail layout. The atmosphere combines traditional Portuguese elements with the contemporary style typical of new luxury style hotels.

Amsterdam boasts a spectacular event venue for international meeting groups. A unique setting for dinners, receptions and parties is the Scheepvaartmuseum, dating from 1656 when it was built as the warehouse for the Admiralty of Amsterdam. Now completely renovated, the museum has several monumental rooms for group functions. Next to the museum two historical ships – the ‘Cristiaan Brunings’ steamship and the East Indiaman (VOC) ship ‘Amsterdam’ – are moored and can be used for events as well. But the most stunning new addition is surely the Open Courtyard, that was completely covered with a glass roof, allowing your guests to dine and party under the stars 365 days of the year. You can even offer your guests a private viewing of the museum’s exhibits.

Le Meridien Beach Plaza has reopened its Sea Club Conference Centre following a £1.7m renovation. The hotel has 14 meeting rooms for a total of 2,000 people.

In 2012, Park Plaza Amsterdam Airport’s public areas will be completely renovated. The hotel has undergone a number of refurbishments and the public areas are the final phase. Not only will the look and feel of the hotel be improved, its capacity will be increased and the variety of facilities offered extended.
