English Tea served at US Industry events, Las Vegas

By James Russell: English Tea served at US Industry events, Las Vegas

May 7, 2014

Decorative coatings specialist Armourcoat will be in Las Vegas next week for two major US industry events; Hospitality Design Expo and the Choice Hotels International Convention.  Both events are held at the Mandalay Bay Resort (14-16 May).

Hospitality Design is the premier trade show and hospitality conference for North America.  At Booth #4971 the team will be offering a refreshing cup of English tea, visitors can also take away an exclusive luxury gift from Fortnum & Mason – an iconic British tradition since 1707.  In addition, a free prize draw on the stand offers a Fortnum & Mason hamper. The ‘tea connoisseur’ hamper contains; Assam tea from India’s steamy Brahmaputra Valley, Darjeeling tea harvested from the foothills of the Himalayas, and Fortnum’s original Gunpower Green Tea. The hamper also includes a set of delicate porcelain tasting cups – shaped to concentrate tea aroma, together with an exclusive silver-plated teapot shaped infuser. Of course, no hamper is complete without another British tradition – a Harrods toy bear!

Armourcoat – as part of the show’s ‘New Design Professional Program’ – has invited four interior designers to the event.  Serena Waddel of Wimberly Interiors, Lisa Doyle and Jennifer Barron of Group 70 International, and Elizabeth Mau of Leo A Daly all receive complimentary full conference registration, accommodation, airfare and tickets to the opening night party, ‘Party by the Pool’ and New Design Professional Luncheon.  The names were kindly supplied to Armourcoat by Greg Endo at Pacifica Sourcing in Hawaii. Congratulations to all!

Armourcoat will also be supporting Choice Hotels International at their National Convention as part of their Qualified Vendor Program.  ArmourFX modular panels have been specified as a welcome wall backdrop as part of the ‘Your First Impression’ brand programme at each of the 2,000 franchised Comfort Inn and Comfort Suites locations across the USA. The full enhancement programme is scheduled to be complete by 2015.  Armourcoat, working closely with the design team at Choice Hotels International, developed a custom-made panel using specialist textured plaster techniques to emulate natural travertine stone. A raised brand logo and welcoming candle lighting complete the effect.

ArmourFX can be used to create highly original integrated custom wall panel systems, signage or design statement single artwork pieces.
