MONTEGO BAY – October 30, 2026 -- JOIA Rose Hall, Iberostar's adults-only, all-inclusive beachfront resort in Jamaica, welcomes guests again on December 1, 2026, after a full renovation that touches every suite and most public spaces.

All 295 suites get a redesign

The resort sits on Montego Bay's Rose Hall Corridor, about 10 miles from Sangster International Airport. Design firm El Equipo Creativo reworked the arrival areas, lobby, staircase, solarium, poolside terraces and beachfront spaces. The look draws on the golden age of travel, with local textures and vibrant patterns.

The 295 suites include Butler Suites, Swim-up Suites and Penthouse Suites. They now feature eclectic furnishings, locally inspired patterns and private terraces. Room service runs 24 hours a day.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 17, 2026 – IHG Hotels & Resorts has kicked off the fourth edition of its Star Chef Gourmet Tour across Greater China, and this year's opening chapter puts a single, humble ingredient in the spotlight: rice. Culinary teams from nearly 50 hotels are taking part in a three-part series — Origin, Authenticity and Craft — designed for travelers and food lovers who want their hotel stays to double as cultural discovery. The first chapter, Journey of Origin, launched at Crowne Plaza Hangzhou Science City, where chefs from across East and South China built an entire tasting menu around rice's role in Chinese cuisine. For anyone who books a stay expecting room service and little else, it's a reminder that hotel dining has quietly become one of the more interesting reasons to choose where you sleep.
