Minor Hotels has unveiled plans to rebrand the
NH Collection Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi as the Anantara Grand
Hotel Convento di Amalfi in spring 2023, following extensive
restoration and renovation works.
The picture-perfect heritage hotel, occupying a
13th-century monastery and former Cappuccini Friars Convent on a clifftop 80 metres
above the sea, will feature new-look accommodation, dining
concepts and a completely redesigned spa.
The property’s
52 guest rooms and suites will see existing tiled flooring,
vaulted ceilings and lime-washed walls carefully preserved, while
the suites will retain their vast terraces
with plunge pools and sweeping views of the coast.
The Bar and Lounge area on the reception level will be
transformed with contemporary lighting, statement rugs made from
natural fibres, and comfortable low-slung furniture in cream hues.
At the main restaurant serving traditional
Mediterranean flavours and wood-fired pizza, dramatic latticed
metal dividers and monastic boiserie panels will be added for a
visual separation from the lounge area and to create a more
intimate atmosphere for the diners.
After the renovation, a travertine-clad
Anantara Spa will open with a total of three treatment rooms
offering healing therapies and beauty treatments amid soothing
surrounds and a décor infused with monastic spirituality.
The
resort’s upgraded leisure facilities will also include a
sea-facing spa relaxation area, a fully equipped gym with coastal views,
and the
swimming pool area will be redesigned with custom-made
furniture.
“We are thrilled to soon be able to welcome
Anantara guests to one of Italy’s most iconic destinations as part
of Anantara’s expansion into Europe,” said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO
of Minor Hotels. “We are taking great care to restore the
800-year-old building to strict historic preservation guidelines
while adding a contemporary look and feel to the rooms and public
areas, as well as making sure that every guest experience at
Anantara Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi is exceptional.”
The Anantara Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi will
be the second Anantara property in Italy after the recent addition
of Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel, and the brand’s eighth in
Europe.
