In this week’s round-up, we’ve got new hotel openings — from a luxury property in a booming business hub to an exclusive island estate and more.

Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Minneapolis

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, in partnership with United Properties, has announced plans for Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Minneapolis, expected to open in early 2022.

The new 34-storey building will be situated at the convergence of business and leisure in Minneapolis, at the top of Nicollet Mall, the city’s pedestrian thoroughfare. A few short blocks from the Mississippi River, the mixed-use complex will also serve as RBC Wealth Management’s US headquarters.

“A new luxury focal point”

“Minneapolis is a booming corporate hub in the Midwest and has a vibrant leisure, cultural, and arts scene, and we look forward to creating a place for locals and visitors alike to come together while raising the standard of luxury and service in the city,” said Bart Carnahan, executive vice president, global business development and portfolio management, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.

“Our partners at United Properties have envisioned a new luxury focal point in Minneapolis, and we look forward to helping them bring that vision to life.”

Monkey Island Estate

YTL Hotels has announced the official opening of Monkey Island Estate, Bray-on-Thames. The island, with its long history dating back 800 years, has been the haunt of monks, monarchs, aristocrats and writers alike. Visitors from London and beyond will be transported to their own private countryside escape steeped in stylish yet laidback luxury.

Set across seven acres, the restored Monkey Island Estate boasts both a white-bricked Pavilion and Temple building surrounded by English country gardens with views of the River Thames. The landscape is a combination of mature trees, shrubs and a huge variety of British plants.
