The Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai has opened its doors this week - a joint venture with developer Nakheel, which is the creator of the Palm Jumeirah. The latest resort features 607 rooms and suites and various water attractions including a kids’ fun water play area, waterslides and cliff jumping points. The hotel also boasts multiple kids’ clubs, a colourful candy-themed children’s spa, as well as a dedicated Mirage Family Lounge.

The Sofitel Adelaide will open a new French restaurant on 04 Nov called Garçon Bleu, offering guests an extensive wine wall and an oyster and raw seafood bar. The 90-seat venue also features an open kitchen area and plenty of large windows let in natural light. Highlight dishes include twice-baked cheese souffle with mushroom veloute & pickled shimeji mushrooms, as well as chicken liver parfait with house-made brioche rolls.

The Barcelona EDITION has reopened its speakeasy-inspired bar concept called the Punch Room. The hotel’s relaunched intimate lounge highlights local spirits and ingredients with a curated cocktail menu offering modern and traditional specialty punches, served individually or in vintage silver bowls to share in groups. The revamped menu also includes its signature punch, created with jasmine tea and a subtle hint of wood from the oak moss.
