The document summarizes several hotel projects that have implemented glassware and dinnerware from Arc International. The Kempinski Hotel Frankfurt Gravenbruch replaced their glassware with Chef&Sommelier's Sublym range in the Kwarx material, reducing breakage. The Radisson Blu Las Palmas and Servatur Hotel in Gran Canaria selected durable glassware from Chef&Sommelier and Arcoroc to withstand busy environments. The Mercure Hotel Ortigas implemented Princesa fully tempered glassware for its coffee shop. The Cotton House Hotel in Barcelona chose Ginseng porcelain for its restaurant and terrace.

White tablecloth versus natural tabletop
surface in restaurants
The route to take?
The use of a crisp white tablecloth does
offer benefits to the hotel restaurant
and the diner, which many overlook. In
our psyche there is a link between more
formal high end fine dining and the use
of a white tablecloth, so that the qua-
lity expectation is in part already met
before the food arrives.
A white tablecloth also allows the
cleaness, purity of materials, and ove-
rall article quality, whether it be of the
glassware, dinnerware or cutlery, to
be far more apparent and visible to the
diner.
It is possible to see any colour tint
contained within the material of less
quality driven wine glasses and water
glasses when they sit on a white table-
cloth.
It is, therefore, essential to use
glassware that is made from a high qua-
lity material like Kwarx®, which is com-
pletely colourless and devoid of tints,
and is more refined in manufacture, with
a better rim finish, bowl quality, and no
blemishes anywhere to be seen.
Dark wood or dark stone surfaces of
tables can make a quality impression
as premium warm white dinnerware
and thick guaged polished 18-10 cut-
lery stands off the dark surface far bet-
ter. The initial impression though is of
casual dining, unless the other aspects
of the restaurant interior and furnishings
are also high quality and well co-ordina-
ted!
The more cutting edge fine dining res-
taurants are now taking aspects from
both routes to tableware and food dis-
play, using ‘black’ tablecloths. There is
a fine dining connotation yet the colour
of the food and the warm white dinne-
rware stands out like a shining beacon
for everyone to see. The first taste is
with your eyes!

The Arc Group is once again experiencing
exciting times. The company, like its
image, has evolved and changed in order
to strengthen its position as the worldwide
glassware leader.
The new corporate logo has therefore been
redesigned to embody these changes, but
also to convey the new spirit and the group
values. Dynamic, young, design oriented,
and playful with its colors, shapes, and
transparency play, this new logo represents
the groups positioning and its involvement
in innovation, quality, and customer service.

More and more hotels,
restaurants and bars
realise that there is an
upsurge in the popularity
and demand for hot drinks.
Coffee shops and cafes
are spreading to towns
and cities everywhere.
The café culture has
made expectations of
gourmet tea and coffee
the norm. Consumers are
now demanding a similar
quality and variety in their
at-home recreations as they
find in specialist hot drinks
establishments.
Interest in "gourmet" hot
drinks is driven by the
growing trend towards
novel seasonal flavors, and
the culture of recreation
and sharing that this has
built. Around two fifths of
consumers globally find
season-specific flavors
appealing, while even more
favor products targeted at
experiences with peers.
Hotels now need to look at
a more trendy fashionable
ways to present hot drinks
to endorse the product
quality and build on this

This busy city centre hotel in Pasig was looking
for stong and durable glassware for it’s coffee
shop, that could withstand heavy knocks along
with significant thermal shock caused by hot
drinks. Princesa Fully Toughened items were
selected for the task. Chef&Sommelier® Cabernet
Tulip in Kwarx®, however, with its clarity, sparkle
and shine, was selected for other areas in the
hotel including room service.

Radisson Blu Las Palmas, Gran Canaria
Hotel MagazineNews
Radisson Blu Las Palmas, Gran Canaria couldn’t be in a more ideallic
location with blue seas and palm trees surrounding the hotel complex.
The glassware for the restaurant and bar therefore, needed to be
elegant and stylish to match the setting, but durable and hard wearing
to suit the busy holiday environment. Cabernet Tulip in the Kwarx®
material from Chef&Sommelier was selected for the wine glasses and
Salto from Arcoroc® for the water glass.

Kempinski Hotel Frankfurt Gravenbruch, Germany
Following the Kempinski Hotel Frankfurt Gravenbruch’s highly successful
replacement of German Cristalline with 6000 pieces of Sublym from Chef &
Sommelier®, in the Kwarx® material, where breakage reduced dramatically, the
fine dine restaurant decided to replace their product with the beautiful and
sylish Reveal’ Up range, also from Chef&Sommelier®.

CONCEPTION GRAPHIQUE : Arc Design - AN18116
The Cotton House is a luxury
hotel in Barcelona and when
reviewing the dinnerware
options available that would
signal high quality and an
appreciation of cutting edge
design it selected Ginseng from
Chef&Sommelier. The matt
and gloss glaze used texture
rather than colour to stimulate
interest but the warm white
porcelain was equally at home
on the terrace as it was in the
plush lavish restaurant.
Project Review
Servatur Hotel, Gran Canaria
The Servatur Hotel, Gran Canaria is
a busy holiday property, which is full
day in and day out during the peak
season. Products for the restaurant
and bar therefore need to be strong
and durable, and able to withstand
the everyday knocks. This is one of
the reasons Fully Toughened Granity
tumblers from Arcoroc® and Cabernet
Tulip stemware in the Kwarx® material
from Chef&Sommelier® were the perfect
choice.
