Centara Hotels & Resorts Introduces Willy Wonka-inspired “Spa Candy” Kids Spa Experience

by

Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator, is raising the bar for original family experiences by announcing the launch of a dedicated kids spa inspired by the legendary tale of the adventures of young Charlie Bucket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.

As children will be able to tell their parents only too well, the story is of how Charlie wins a ticket to enter the fantastical Chocolate Factory built by the eccentric but brilliant chocolatier Willy Wonka. The magical world inside the factory as depicted in the book is the inspiration behind Spa Candy, another-worldly concept set to delight children who can enter a destination designed for them.

The unique experience is an elaborate playground catering specifically to children aged 15 years old and under and a space where they can enjoy candy-themed spa treatments, manicures, pedicures, get creative by mixing their own lotions and potions or even hold parties.

“Centara is renowned for creating memorable experiences for families and children. We are also recognized for our innovation and finding new ways of wowing them. Today the result is Spa Candy, a concept that is as colorful as it is creative in crafting new adventures for children, somewhere they can go and be excited. This is a new destination for the kids,” said Tara Hanrahan, Corporate Director of Spa Operations, Centara Hotels & Resorts.

On arrival at Spa Candy, children will be greeted by a team wacky in pink uniforms and wigs to take children on a fun-filled, sweet experience. Each outlet will feature the following:

  • Rainbow Wall which will be filled with shelves upon shelves of colorful sweets in a bright and spacious hallway with furniture resembling over-sized candies such as peppermint stools, cupcake benches, lollipop trees, and candy floss clouds
  • Candy Hall will accommodate up to 10 children and where they can mix their bath bombs and scrubs. This area can also be booked for private parties
  • Three individually themed treatment rooms featuring a Cake Room, a Chocolate Room, and a Lollipop Room
  • Communal manicure, pedicure and a multi-purpose area
  • Shop where customers can buy products to extend their experience at home
Willy Wonka-inspired “Spa Candy” Kids Spa Experience

At Spa Candy children can create their own blend of scrubs and masks. The spa will offer ten flavors to choose from, including Bubble Gum, Sherbet, Coca Cola, Raspberry Ripple, Cotton Candy, Toffee Apple, Watermelon, Peppermint Candy, Chilli Mango, and Grape. Kids will also be able to select ready-to-use treatments such as the Chocolate Body Wrap or simply mix everything together!

Operated by SPA Cenvaree, the first Spa Candy will open in 2021 at Centara Mirage Beach Resort in Dubai.

  • 3 large Yukon potato, peeled & diced
  • .25-pound good quality bacon, diced
  • 5-6 sprigs thyme, leaves only, chopped
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Butter and flour as needed

Directions

Combine clams and water in a large pot and simmer or steam until clams open; remove clams (discard any that do not open) and strain clam broth.  When cool, remove clams from shell and rough chop. Return the pot to stove and add 2 tbsp. butter; add bacon and cook until crisp.  Remove bacon and bacon fat.  Add 3 tbsp. fat back to the pot (reserve remaining fat for roux) and sauté leek, fennel and celery over medium heat.  Season well with salt.  Add potato, clam broth, and bay leaf and bring to a simmer. 

While chowder comes to a simmer, combine equal parts bacon fat/butter and flour and cook over low-medium heat to make a roux.  The roux should cook slowly for at least ten minutes and develop a nutty aroma and golden color.  Stir regularly to avoid scorching.  Remove from heat.

When potatoes in chowder are just beginning to be tender, add clams, cooked bacon, chopped thyme, and heavy cream.  Season again with salt and fresh black pepper.  Bring to a simmer and begin to thicken with roux, adding small amounts and whisking gently until incorporated.  Add roux until desired thickness is achieved, then simmer gently for five minutes.  Garnish with chopped parsley or chives and serve with fresh bread, oyster crackers, pepper grinder, and hot sauces.

Shepherd’s Pie

Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Prep: 30 minutes

Cook: 1 hour

Mashed potatoes

  • 2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 oz. unsalted butter
  • 1 tbs. sea salt
  • ¼ tsp. fresh ground white pepper
  • 2 egg yolks

Lamb filling

  • 2 lbs. ground lamb sirloin
  • 2 cups small diced yellow onion
  • 1 ½ cups small diced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen English pea’s
  • 1 tbs. minced garlic
  • 2 cups veal stock or beef broth
  • 1 tbs. tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbs. all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. sea salt
  • ½ tsp. fresh ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tsp. fresh chopped thyme
  • 1 tsp. fresh chopped spearmint
  • 3 tbs. grapeseed oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400° F (standard oven) or 350° F if you have a convection oven.

Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepot and cover with cold slated water.  Cook the potatoes over high heat, covering and bring to a boil.  Once the potatoes are at a boil, uncover and decrease the heat to a simmer.  Cook the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes.  Meanwhile place the cream and butter in a small saucepan on low heat until just melted and reserve.  When the potatoes are tender, drain and return to the saucepot and mash.  Add the heated cream and butter, sea salt, white pepper and mix until smooth.  Stir in the egg yolks until well combined.

While the potatoes are cooking prepare the lamb filling, heat a 12” sauté pan over medium high heat and add the grapeseed oil.  Once the oil is shimmering add the onions and carrots and sauté until a slight golden color is achieved, 2-3 minutes.  Add the garlic, stirring to combine then add the ground lamb, sea salt, ground pepper and ground cumin and cook until browned evenly.  Add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce mixing thoroughly then sprinkled the mixture with the all-purpose flour and toss to coat.  Add the veal stock (or beef broth) and thyme, mix well then cover and simmer over low heat until the mixture has thickened, about ten minutes.

Uncover the lamb filling mixture, take off heat and stir in the spearmint.  Separate the mixture into ten individual baking dishes like mini cast irons or a 12×8 glass baking dish and top with the mash potatoes, spreading them to create a seal at the edges with a rubber spatula so the lamb mixture does not bubble over.  Place baking dish(es) on a paper lined sheet tray and place in the pre-heated oven baking until the potatoes are golden brown, about 20 minutes.  Remove from the oven and rest about ten minutes before serving.

The Pfister® Hotel Names Nykoli Koslow as Next Artist in Residence

by

Business News first on FIR:

MILWAUKEE–()–The historic AAA Four Diamond Pfister® Hotel, owned and managed by Marcus® Hotels & Resorts, today announced Nykoli Koslow as the hotel’s 12th Artist in Residence. Born in Chicago and Milwaukee-based, Koslow is a conceptual abstraction artist and will work in the hotel’s lobby-level Artist’s Studio for one year beginning April 1, 2020. He is succeeding current Pfister Artist in Residence and portraitist, Rosy Petri, who will culminate her residency with a Blues, Brews, and BBQ event at The Pfister Hotel, on March 27, 2020.

Koslow will join The Pfister Hotel as the first transgender Artist in Residence in the history of the program. His art uses painting and drawing to fuse figuration with abstraction to explore notions of gender, sexuality and agency. Koslow uses art as a platform to analyze and express his personal feelings and worldviews as part of the broader trans-peoples community, with art inspiration derived from ancient history, mythology, religion, mysticism and theoretical physics infused with science fiction. In his most recent art series, which was part autobiographical and part research based, Koslow expressed the visceral feelings of gender dysphoria into a queer cosmology.

“I am thrilled to be the next Artist in Residence. Having this platform to introduce visitors to new art forms that have never before existed in The Pfister Hotel is incredibly special. I strive to share my artistic perspective and weave in the unmatched history of this hotel through my own distinct lens,” said Koslow. “My art will be grounded in love, respect, and gratitude while challenging and evolving traditional stories and narratives. It is my hope that all visitors will be able to interact with, engage, embrace, question, confront and enjoy these new art forms while staying at the world-class Pfister Hotel.”

During his residency, Koslow aims to spark conversation and engagement around modern ideologies that are formed from religion and mythology. Part of Koslow’s art process will be interpreting and reimagining The Pfister Hotel’s Victorian art collections within a queer etymology by bending, twisting and evolving the art to create new artistic experiences in the hotel.

“For our 12th Artist in Residence, we searched for an emerging artist who represented Milwaukee’s vibrant arts community and deserved a platform that would challenge, enlighten and creatively engage our guests,” said Tim Smith, general manager of The Pfister Hotel. “It was immediately apparent Nykoli’s powerful artistic approach will create an artistic environment that will have a significant impact on all our visitors. His artwork and interpretations of our existing artwork is something we cannot wait to experience.”

Prior to being chosen Artist in Residence, Koslow graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts in 2013 with an emphasis in painting and drawing, minoring in English. Koslow has been an artist at Var Gallery since 2014 and in 2019, he was a finalist for the Mary Nohl grant and was commissioned to create a mural for the NoMADmke Wauwatosa Mural Corridor.

Rosy Petri Finale Celebrated with Blues, Brews and BBQ Event

To celebrate the conclusion of her year-long residency as the 11th Artist in Residence at The Pfister Hotel, local portraitist, Rosy Petri will host a Blues, Brews, and BBQ event on March 27, 2020 in the hotel’s Rouge Ballroom. Petri spent the last year working on developing a collection of photograph and fabric portraits, as well as audio interviews to share individuals’ perspectives on the theme of “myths of creation.” This collection will be featured during the Blues, Brews, and BBQ event, which starts promptly at 6:00 p.m. For more information about the show, please visit the events page on The Pfister website: www.thepfisterhotel.com/events.

About The Pfister Hotel

At more than 125 years old, The Pfister Hotel is one of the oldest and most prestigious hotels in the Midwest and downtown Milwaukee. Originally opened in 1893 by businessman Guido Pfister, it was the most lavish hotel of its time.

The Marcus Corporation renovated and restored the hotel to its original glory, adding convention facilities, a parking garage and 23-story guest tower. The Pfister Hotel is home to the largest collection of Victorian art of any hotel in the world as well as an award-winning Artist-in-Residence program.

Today, The Pfister Hotel continues its tradition of gracious service and impeccable style and has been recognized by AAA as a Four Diamond property for 43 consecutive years. In 2018, The Pfister was recognized as a Top Hotel in the Midwest in Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious annual Reader’s Choice Awards for the third consecutive year and was ranked the No. 1 Best Milwaukee Hotel by U.S. News & World Report in 2019.
