Luxury 5 star Hotel The Grand Amsterdam, operating under the Sofitel Demeure label of Accor, will undergo a Euro 25 mio renovation starting in November, 2007 and probably lasting 1,5 year.
The 131 rooms and 35 suites Hotel will get a whole new concept. Also the cooperation with Chef Albert Roux (72) will be terminated at the end of 2007.

And the Italians did it! They beat the USA team another time and are now heading to the LV Cup’s finals. Egg on the face of the USA BMW Oracle team, but they take it graciously according to their Blog [that they took away since].
The America’s cup will either go to Europe again or to New Zealand!

The Italians won again against the Yankees. Consequently Luna Rossa now has a 4-1 lead and just need one more win to go to the LV final series of Matchraces which Final series decide who may race against Alinghi.

Via an old post on America’s Cup:Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa Challenge take control
Luna Rossa Challenge has jumped out to a 3-1 series lead over BMW ORACLE Racing at the Louis Vuitton Cup. In these Semi Finals, the first team to win five races advances to the Final, and following today’s victory, the Italian team is one step closer to its goal.
Luna Rossa Challenge led all the way around the race track, after starting to the left of the American team. After one lap of the course ITA 94 was ahead by just 12-seconds, but helmsman James Spithill and his crew extended that lead to nearly half a minute at the second windward mark and held on to win by 24-seconds.
In the other pairing, Emirates Team New Zealand started ahead of the Spanish team and extended the rest of the way around the race track. The Spanish made up five-seconds on the final run, but it wasn’t enough; the Kiwis won by 42-seconds and have a 3-1 series lead.
I wouldn’t have believed it possible that Larry’s team would lose again!
