Guests can DJ at Tokyo's hidden listening bar OFF RECORD

At Fairmont Tokyo, A Private Night of Music, Cocktails & Tokyo's Listening Bar Culture turns the acclaimed OFF RECORD bar into a private space for one evening. Guided by Bar Director Hideyuki Saito, guests move through four musical chapters -- J-Pop, UK Rock, Reggae, and American Soul -- each paired with a signature cocktail, before taking the decks for a private DJ session. The experience includes a stay in the Presidential Suite with curated in-room vinyl and audio, plus a private rickshaw journey and priority Tokyo Tower views.

Istanbul – September 08, 2026 -- Beko has unveiled a lineup of home appliance upgrades across its global brand portfolio, promising measurable time and energy savings for everyday chores like laundry, cooking and food storage.

A full load of laundry now takes just 40 minutes

Beko's new Ultimate40' washing program uses patented UltimateWash Technology, including an enhanced drum paddle and updated algorithm, to clean a full load in 40 minutes. The company says this cuts time and energy use by up to 35% on daily wash cycles compared with its WML 91433 NP machine, without sacrificing cleaning performance.

Ovens self-clean in under an hour using 420°C heat

Beko's PyroPro Self-Cleaning Technology burns away grease and food residue at 420°C, leaving only ash that wipes away. The full cycle takes 59 minutes and uses up to 47% less energy than a standard pyrolytic clean, according to the company.
