This year, after a successful pilot of gaming rooms and a gaming studio at nhow Berlin, nhow Hotels & Resorts takes gaming to the next level with the launch of GAME:NXT by nhow, a new gaming and esports ecosystem bringing interactive digital experiences to hotel stays. Family travelers can now enjoy hospitality blended with gaming and digital culture.

The entire project has been certified by SK Gaming, the gaming and esports partner of Minor Hotels, to ensure professional-grade experiences for guests.

 

At nhow Frankfurt, guests will find six bookable Gaming Rooms on the fourth floor, with each designed with immersive neon lighting and a high-performance PC setup. Rooms also boast an ergonomic gaming chair and desk, as well as two large, high-resolution screens; a mechanical keyboard; precision mouse; and PlayStation 5. Specialized streaming equipment and VR headsets are also available upon request.

Additionally, two portable PGA Gaming Suitcases can transform any guestroom into a private arcade, equipped with a PlayStation 5 console, two controllers and a high-quality integrated screen. Gaming Suitcases are now available across nhow Hotels & Resorts in Germany, Italy, France and the BeNeLux region.

 

In 2027, Minor Hotels aims to expand GAME:NXT by nhow, with Gaming Rooms planned for nhow Amsterdam, nhow Rotterdam and nhow Brussels.

Japan: The Next Big Thing in Leaf Peeping

If you’re like me, you grew up with the knowledge that autumn comes with beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow and purple as the leaves on the trees prepare for the coming winter. And you probably, like me, know there are some really great places around the country to see those colors in all their glory. But America isn’t the only country where nature puts on this annual show. Japan enjoys plenty of the changing colors of the season as well, and it just might be the next “it” place for leaf peeping.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
