Slovenly family members can be so off-putting to guests at this time of year; so take a leaf from JAL Hotels' book and make sure that the members of your family are well turned out this Christmas.
The five-star Montcalm Hotel Nikko London is especially spruce, having just reopened after an extensive, year-long renovation. Her sister in Germany – the five-star Nikko Hotel Düsseldorf – is slightly plumper since you last saw her and more radiant after receiving an early present from her beau, Benson Elliot Capital Management.
Benson has completed its €6 million conversion of a 5,000 m² office into 85 executive guest rooms and 650 m² of meeting space.
The conversion work at the mixed-use Deutsch-Japanisches Center, where the hotel stands, gives the Nikko Hotel Düsseldorf 386 rooms, making her the largest hotel in Düsseldorf.
