    The Ritz-Carlton Residences to arrive in Hanoi

    The first Ritz-Carlton branded residences in Vietnam is set to open in late 2023. Masterise Homes and Marriot International on May 10 announced the signing of an agreement for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Hanoi, a standalone luxury branded residential project that marks the debut of the Ritz-Carlton brand in Vietnam, slated to open in late 2023.

    The Residences at the Grand, Hanoi will be situated in the heart of the prestigious Hoan Kiem District, along popular Hang Bai Road and near Hoan Kiem Lake, one of the city’s most beloved landmarks. The anticipated 104-unit branded residences will feature one-bedroom Premier, two-bedroom Classic, and three-bedroom Presidential suites, to suit each resident’s needs and preferences.

    The project features award-winning architects, designers, and project management consultants. Once complete, the residences will be the country’s first Ritz-Carlton Residences and the fifth in Asia Pacific following Singapore, Bangkok (Thailand), Colombo (Sri Lanka), and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). The agreement leverages the long-term strategic partnership between Masterise Homes and Marriott International, combining the expertise of a pioneer in luxury real estate products and services in Vietnam and the global hotel management company, owner of the Ritz-Carlton brand.

    Jason Turnbull, deputy managing director cum CFO Masters Homes, commented: “The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Hanoi at The Grand is an ultra-luxury development set to offer an enduring legacy for residents and expected to be a masterpiece that matches the beauty of the facade’s classical architecture and modern design combined with the legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton. This project expects to change how we look at ultra-luxury living and elevate Vietnam’s position on the global real-estate map.”

    In line with the long-standing tradition of service excellence synonymous with The Ritz-Carlton brand, homeowners will be able to enjoy world-class amenities complemented by the legendary service from the Ladies and Gentlemen of The Residences. Its prominent location offers the best of the city within close proximity and allows residents to enjoy the vibrancy of Hanoi’s Old Quarter streets, and return to the comfort and privacy of their residences in mere minutes.

    “We are thrilled to continue working with Masterise Homes to amplify our luxury presence in Vietnam with the signing of The Ritz-Carlton Residences in Hanoi – embracing the growing demands for branded living in this burgeoning cosmopolitan city,” said Rajeev Menon, president, Asia Pacific (excluding China), Marriott International.

    “Vietnam is a dynamic market and we look forward to bringing the brand’s refined style and legendary services to residents in Vietnam.”

    The Residences at The Grand, Hanoi is the second Marriott branded residences in Vietnam, following the milestone dual- branded Grand Marina, Saigon announced earlier this year, which operates under two brands within the Marriot Bonvoy portfolio – JW Marriott and Marriott Hotels.

    The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., of Chevy Chase, MD., part of Marriott International, Inc., currently operates more than 100 hotels and over 45 residential properties in 30 countries and territories.

    Moschino being creative at the high tea at Ritz-Carlton, HK

    From 14 July to 16 September 2018, Café 103 will collaborate with Moschino for a specially crafted afternoon tea brimming with delightful Italian flavors.

    Housed in an exclusive bear-shaped tea set stand paying homage to the label’s most recognizable character, the Moschino Afternoon Tea promises to be a new benchmark for the midday pastime.

    The creativity of Moschino is expressed through a new combination of stylistic elements that conveys its vision of a disenchanted future.

    Since Jeremy Scott’s appointment as Creative Director in 2013, capsule collections have been introduced in collaboration with iconic characters, figures and restaurants such as Betty Boop, Barbie, Looney Tones, McDonald’s, The Powerpuff Girls, SpongeBob and more. Even though Moschino is an expression of contemporary fashion, it stands apart from the chorus and sings solo to give its own personal rendition of the music of today.

    Executive Pastry Chef Richard Long incorporates iconic elements of the Italian luxury fashion house into the afternoon tea treats, turning Moschino’s eccentric playful touches to edible pleasures. Crunch Chocolate Passion Tart reveals layers of gastronomic pleasure under the fashion house’s double question mark logo – chocolate coating with almond bits, rich chocolate cream and passion fruit puree at the core.

    Gianduja Lollipop features the hazelnut chocolate ganache signature of Piedmont region, and is adorned with Moschino’s most beloved teddy bear motif to melt any heart.

    Gold Fresh Couture is inspired by the fragrance notes of the label’s iconic cleaning spray perfume of the same name – white peach, vanilla and rhubarb. Poached white peach and rhubarb compote add a fruity sweetness to the generous spread of vanilla white chocolate cream housed in a golden chocolate box resembling the catchy gold perfume bottle.

    Sicilian Pistachio Apricot is composed of layers of apricot compote, Sicilian pistachio cream and apricot jelly. A chocolate Moschino zipper puller lies atop to reinforce brand presence.

    Chef Richard’s very own version of Chocolate Pear Brownie highlights deliciously contrasting textures – crispy butter crumbles sandwiching moist chocolate cake infused with soft pear fillings.
