First Three Hotels Join Carlson’s New Quorvus Collection

Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group has signed the first member hotels of its new Quorvus Collection.

The hotels are: The May Fair Hotel London, the G&V Royal Mile Hotel Edinburgh, and the Symphony Style Hotel Kuwait.

The Quorvus Collection name originates from the Southern sky Corvus constellation featuring the five brightest stars.

Wolfgang M. Neumann, president and chief executive officer of The Rezidor Hotel Group, said, “We are delighted to welcome three iconic hotels to Quorvus Collection, our latest luxury brand. Each property has its own unique style, personality and heritage with one essential factor at the core – a five-star luxury hotel experience.”

The May Fair Hotel London is owned and operated by Edwardian Group London. The May Fair Hotel was first opened by King George V in 1927, and offers 404 bedrooms including twelve suites.

Iype Abraham, Commercial Development Director of Edwardian Group, said, “As a luxury lifestyle hotel in the heart of London, The May Fair is a historic building with a modern design. We are delighted to be a member of the Quorvus Collection and look forward to further enhancing our guest experience.”

The G&V Royal Mile Hotel Edinburgh, a reminder of George and Victoria, enjoys an enviable location in the heart of Edinburgh at the corner of George IV Bridge, Victoria Street and The Royal Mile. Each of the 136 rooms and suites show designer Rosita Missoni’s aesthetic look and dynamic use of colors and patterns; combined with latest technology and complimentary high speed internet access. The award-winning restaurant “Cucina” is the hotel’s pulsing heart and serves dishes inspired by classic Italian cooking. The G&V Royal Mile Hotel also features a bar, three modern event spaces, a breakout area, and a spa.

The Symphony Style Hotel Kuwait is part of the Symphony complex in Salmiya, the main shopping and entertainment district of Kuwait City. 18 floors high, the hotel with 169 rooms and suites offers views of the Persian Gulf. The bold, beautiful interior designed by Rosita Missoni echoes the colors of desert and sea: gold, sand and turquoise. All rooms have state-of-the art technology including complimentary high speed internet access. The Symphony Style Hotel Kuwait features three restaurants, six event spaces, an outdoor pool, and a Six Senses Spa.

“These three unique hotels lay a strong foundation for the further development of Quorvus Collection. The Edinburgh and Kuwait hotels will join the Quorvus Collection immediately and we anticipate The May Fair joining the Collection later in the summer of 2014. We aim to grow a global portfolio of 20 hotels in operation and under development by 2020 through conversions and newly built urban hotels and resorts,” said Neumann.
