Daniel and Samira Charbonnier held an open seminar “Catch the trend: the hospitality industry”.
TOHOLOGY is launching a series of articles “The Hospitality Industry. Companies”. We met with Selim Olmez, Marketing Director at W St. Petersburg, to talk about the history and the concept of the W Hotels chain.
The history of this truly mysterious place dates back to the foundation of Saint Petersburg. Once the first renovation stage was finally over, the New Holland’s park zone welcomed first guests in August 2016, while from then onwards the island will remain accessible the whole year round.
