The Conservatorium Hotel occupies Amsterdam‘s former music conservatorium, built in the 19th century.

Filippo La Mantia’s new restaurant in Milan is a modern take on the Sicilian tradition. Filippo’s passions for music, photography, motorbikes are beautifully rendered in the design of architect and friend, Piero Lissoni. The restaurant interior design was furnished with selected or custom designed by Piero Lissoni: a bookcase takes up an entire wall, not with books, but with Richard Ginori’s porcelain and anthropomorphic vases of Caltagirone.

Located in the Emirate of Ajman, Al Zorah is a luxury resort with waterfront living and includes a hotel, private villas, restaurants, a spa, swimming pools and a private beach.

The overall mood is inspired by a contemporary approach to traditional oriental architecture.

The St. Vincent Resort & Casino hosts two hotels, a congress center, a spa and the Casino, creating a citadel at the foot of the Alps that overlooks the valley of the Dora river. The new and the old buildings are now connected by glass-enclosed pathways which enable the guests to move around freely. An underground tunnel connects the hotel with the Casino, which has been fully renovated.
