Hotel Riu Palace Phuket
The 504-room Hotel Riu Palace Phuket has opened on a prime beachfront location in Mai Khao, adjacent to Sirinat National Park and 16km from Phuket International Airport. The five-star hotel boasts the brand’s 24-hour All Inclusive service along with six distinct dining venues, seven bars, six swimming pools, as well as a dedicated wellness and personal care area that comprises a fully equipped gym, a steam bath, and a comprehensive Renova Spa.
Children are welcomed by RiuLand kids’ club, where a daily programme of daytime and evening activities is offered. Young guests have two dedicated swimming pools too.
For affluent guests, the hotel offers 49 rooms within the Elite Club by RIU category, a concept that is designed for guests seeking premium service and the utmost privacy.
Aman Seoul
The Aman brand has entered South Korea with the opening of Aman Seoul in Cheongdam, overlooking the Han River. The property comprises a hotel, a limited collection of branded residences as well as a global Aman Club. It features generous suites and public areas that draw on Korean spatial traditions and materials.
In keeping with Aman’s harmonious design ethos, the architecture and minimalist contemporary interiors are composed to create environments that feel calm, grounded and intrinsically connected to the locale. Dedicated entrances and arrival sequences give the hotel, the residences, and the Aman Club each their own sense of privacy and identity.
Aman’s commitment to well-being is conveyed through a multilevel spa and wellness centre that is designed to support both physical and mental restoration.

The former Adina Serviced Apartments Canberra Dickson is now Quest Canberra Dickson. The rebranded property offers 126 keys across a mix of guestrooms, studios, and one- and two-bedroom apartments. Accommodation features kitchens, laundries, living and working areas and private balconies. Guests also have access to on-site parking, complimentary Wi-Fi and convenient public transport connections.
The rebranding is accompanied by refurbishments. Painting, carpet improvements, minor repairs, new Quest signage and the introduction of The Pantry, Quest’s grab and go offering, are complete.
