Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Discover the Anantara in Amsterdam: the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky
Q: What should travel advisors know to optimize guest stays here?
Advise clients to use the brand's own website to explore among 16 room-category options, request early allocation for views or quiet rooms, and consider the on-site dining and spa experiences, all of which can be tailored to individual guest preferences.
Discover the Anantara in Amsterdam: the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky
Q: How does the rebranding to Anantara fit with Amsterdam and European expansion?
Anantara's repositioning began after a leadership tour from Bangkok, with a plan to rebrand properties in Europe; the Krasnapolsky was part of this strategy, completed with a 2023 software rebranding and subsequent refinements to fully integrate into Anantara's luxury brand standard.
Discover the Anantara in Amsterdam: the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky
Q: Arne, that's easy, tell us a little bit about the history of this hotel.
The Krasnapolsky started as a coffee house founded by a Polish tailor named Mr. Krasnapolsky who aimed to open a premier Dam Square location, expanding into 125 rooms by 1883; over time the property grew into a historic, multi-building complex that later joined the Anantara portfolio.
Explore Istanbul in Depth with My Turkiye Tourism Guide
Q: Tell me a little bit about the Galata Tower.
Ali explains that the Galata Tower sits on the highest hill in the Para neighborhood, offering a 360-degree view of Istanbul's Bosphorus and Golden Horn, and serves as a key orientation point for understanding the city's three distinct districts.
Aegis Gives Travelers More Control Over Coverage
Q: Do you provide training for agents and how does the support work when a client's trip goes off the rails?
The company offers training when necessary but emphasizes being open seven days a week, providing continuous support for agents and clients, and a quick path to rebooking and cost coverage during disruptions.
