										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>244 MPH is a good way of spelling &#8220;fast&#8221;. Especially on water. On August 23rd, at Lake of the Ozarks Shootout (Missouri, USA), Sheikh Hassan bin Jabor Al-Thani (driver) and Steve Curtis (throttleman) smashed the previous speed record &#8211; 224 MPH &#8211; set last year.</strong></p>
<p>  <span id="more-121"></span>  </p>
<p>A turbine-powered 50-foot catamaran with 6,000-plus HP. Basically, that&#8217;s all you need to know about <em>Al Adaa&#8217;am 96</em>, Spirit of Qatar&#8217;s catamaran built by Mystic Powerboats, to realize it means business. During its first pass through the course, <em>Al Adaa&#8217;am 96</em> &#8220;only&#8221; managed 210 mph as the emergency parachutes had accidentally deployed, slowing the boat down. After the team&#8217;s crew removed them, driver Sheikh Hassan bin Jabor Al-Thani and throttleman Steve Curtis made another run down the course.</p>
<p>And what a run it was! Despite a bumpy start and ride over the first part, <em>Al Adaa&#8217;am 96</em> settled down and rocketed through the course like a bullet out of a gun. The objective: breaking the 224 mph record set in 2013 by My Way Mystic. Not only Sheikh Hassan and Steve managed to do this, but they&#8217;ve set the bar even higher, running 20 mph faster compared to last year&#8217;s mark. &#8220;We had so many things in the back of our heads that could go wrong&#8221; said Sheikh Hassan bin Jabor Al-Thani. &#8220;Halfway though the run, the boat started to porpoise a little bit. Steve got back on the throttles and nailed it. It hooked back up again and he hammered it all the way down.&#8221; </p>
<p>Sheikh Hassan also said he kept reading the speedometer to make sure what he saw was what was recorded. &#8220;We were approaching the finish and running about 230 mph and it felt like Steve backed off a little bit cause that&#8217;s what he wanted to do. Then he started back on and I saw 240 &#8211; I&#8217;m pretty sure we reached 250 after the gate. That&#8217;s one milestone we got out of the way with this boat. Now it&#8217;s time to go out and relax and look ahead to what&#8217;s next.&#8221; A smiling Steve Curtis added: &#8220;That was incredible. I&#8217;m still shaking &#8211; there&#8217;s still a lot of adrenaline pumping through my bones. It&#8217;s a great feeling!&#8221;</p>
<p>Mission accomplished. Videos of the run: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1CI8EX7Azo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov_2fR1ISTM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> (on-board camera).

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Beginning 18 September 2013, luxury hotel group Dorchester Collection manages Rome&#8217;s iconic Eden Hotel, a stunning 121-room property acquired from Starman Hotels.</em></strong></p>
<p>  <span id="more-72"></span>  </p>
<p>Originally built in 1834 and converted to a hotel in 1889, Hotel Eden is one of Rome’s most celebrated hotels and popular amongst royalty, heads of states and celebrities, as well as international travellers. It will undergo a careful restoration to enhance the heritage of the building and to reposition the hotel at the forefront of the luxury hotel market in keeping with Dorchester Collection’s portfolio. Overlooking the seven hills of Rome in the Eternal City, Hotel Eden is ideally located between the Spanish Steps and Via Veneto. It is surrounded by green parks and yet close to the Vatican, St. Peter&#8217;s Cathedral and Piazza Navona, whilst the Colosseum is only ten minutes away by taxi. The main shopping streets of Via Condotti, Via Borgognona and Via Frattina are conveniently located nearby. </p>
<p>The hotel’s restaurant, La Terrazza dell&#8217;Eden, the bar and Terrace Garden on the sixth floor have some of Rome’s most spectacular views spanning from St. Peter&#8217;s Dome to the Vittoriano Monument and beyond, serving as an observation point for the city. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in November 2012 under the helm of executive chef Fabio Ciervo. This Michelin star will complement those at Dorchester Collection’s other hotels, which include three stars at The Dorchester (London), three stars at Hotel Plaza Athenee (Paris) and three stars at Le Meurice (Paris). <a href="http://www.dorchestercollection.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>www.dorchestercollection.com</strong></a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company has announced it will bring the total number of properties in its portfolio to 100 hotels and resorts around the world by 2016.</strong></p>
<p>  <span id="more-71"></span>  </p>
<p>Ranging from Morocco to Japan and Israel to India, this plan will expand the brand to urban capitals and emerging tourist destinations, some of which are a first for Ritz-Carlton. In the last 12 months, The Ritz-Carlton has opened three iconic properties: Dorado Beach (Puerto Rico), The Ritz-Carlton, Abu Dhabi (UAE) and the brand’s first hotel in Vienna (Austria). By the end of 2013 six new Ritz-Carlton hotels are scheduled to open in Chengdu and Tianjin (China), Aruba, Herzliya (Israel), Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Bangalore (India). </p>
<p>The 2014 schedule follows with a record number of new openings including Kyoto (Japan), Nanjing (China). Rabat (Morocco), Cairo (Egypt), Manesar (India) and Bali (Indonesia). By 2015, The Ritz-Carlton anticipates it will open world-class luxury hotels and resorts in Cabo San Lucas (Mexico), Oman (Muscat), Bali (Indonesia), Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam), Tunis (Tunisia) and Haikou (China). Residences are also slated to open in Montreal, Canada; Herzliya, Israel and Almaty, Kazakhstan. “The robust pipeline of hotel projects indicates a continued strong demand for Ritz-Carlton products and services. We are delighted at the company’s continued positive growth,” said Herve Humler, President and COO. “Across the globe, and especially in Asia and the Middle East, we will be the undisputed top-tier luxury hospitality brand by 2016,” Humler predicted. <a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Default.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>www.ritzcarlton.com</strong></a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Heston Blumenthal&#8217;s The Fat Duck has been at the top for six years in a row, scoring a perfect ten. Now, for the second year in a row, there&#8217;s a new no. 1 in UK&#8217;s best restaurants Top 10.</strong></p>
<p>  <span id="more-70"></span>  </p>
<p>The <em>Good Food Guide</em> has been reviewing and writing about restaurants, pubs and cafes throughout the country since 1951. Restaurants in the <em>Good Food Guide</em>, also known as UK’s bestselling restaurant guide, are awarded a cooking score between one and ten. In 2013, for the second year in a row, L’Enclume has achieved the top score, followed by Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck. It&#8217;s worth mentioning that The Fat Duck has scored a perfect ten for six years in a row, longer than any other restaurant since the Guide adopted its current scoring system in 1998. Currently, L’Enclume and The Fat Duck are the only two restaurants in the UK to achieve such a score. </p>
<p><strong>The Good Food Guide Top 10</strong></p>
<p>1. L’Enclume, Cartmel<br />2. The Fat Duck, Berkshire<br />3. Nathan Outlaw, Cornwall<br />4. Sat Bains, Nottinghamshire<br />5. Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, London<br />6. Pollen Street Social, London<br />7. Hibiscus, London<br />8. The Square, London<br />9. The Ledbury, London<br />10. Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton</p>
<p>Elizabeth Carter, the Guide&#8217;s Consultant Editor, explains what makes L’Enclume so special: &#8220;After achieving the top score in last year’s Guide, Rogan and his team haven’t missed a beat, despite the pressures of the past year – from opening the French at the Midland Hotel in Manchester to overseeing a pop-up restaurant in London. Rogan rightfully takes his place as leader of the pack when it comes to modern British cooking. His fantastic way with seasonal ingredients from the Cumbrian land and coast brings dishes that are a joyful celebration of this county’s magnificent diversity. L’Enclume is truly deserving of the number one spot.&#8221; <br /><em><strong>You can order the Waitrose Good Food Guide 2014 <a href="https://www.thegoodfoodguide.co.uk/shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a></strong></em>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The European final of World Travel Awards &#8211; an event celebrating its 20th anniversary this year &#8211; took place in Antalya, Turkey, on August 31st. Here are the winners of WTA Europe 2013.</strong></p>
<p>  <span id="more-69"></span>  </p>
<p>Acknowledged across the globe as the ultimate travel accolade, World Travel Awards are hailed as “The Oscars of the Travel Industry”. The gala event was attended by the industry’s elite, including senior executives of leading travel companies, government ministers and top tourism decision-makers. Graham E Cooke, President and Founder, World Travel Awards said: “Europe is a fiercely contested region for our World Travel Awards, and Turkey continues to serve all markets with luxurious brands offering unique hospitality products and services as well as all inclusive opportunities for the leisure traveller.” WTA was launched in 1993 to acknowledge and recognize excellence in the global travel and tourism industry.

<p><strong>Ever wondered which nation is the coolest of them all? CNN Travel sketched a list of the world&#8217;s 14 coolest nationalities.</strong></p>
<p>Beautiful women sun tanning on Copacabana beach. Not far away, good-looking guys ready to hit the waves. Samba. The Rio carnival. Gifted football players like Pele and Ronaldo who thrilled millions of soccer fans with the memorable goals they scored. And the list could go on, but you get the idea: we&#8217;re speaking about Brazil and its inhabitants. According to CNN Travel, Brazilians are the coolest people on the planet. </p>
<p>Second place goes to Singaporeans. They also know how to party as they have some of the hottest clubs, bars and lounges in Asia. Moreover, the penetration rate of technology in Singapore is one of the highest in the world. So don&#8217;t be amazed to find out that Lim Ding Wen, the world&#8217;s youngest iPhone application developer at the age of nine, is from Singapore.</p>
<p>In third place we find Jamaicans. A nation which brought reggae to the world, the Rastafari (or Rasta) spiritual movement and one of the world&#8217;s most recognizable and distinct hairstyles: dreadlocks. Fourth place went to the Mongolians, while Americans came in fifth. <a href="http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/life/12-coolest-nationalities-earth-050844" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here</a> for the complete rankings.</p>
