Hilton has established a new exclusive partnership with premier outdoor hospitality company AutoCamp to offer Hilton guests an experience that blends the spirit of an iconic outdoor adventure with the hospitality and design-forward thinking of a boutique hotel, in spectacular settings that include properties adjacent to popular national parks.

Partnerships are proving to be a powerful asset for the freshly minted Sequoia Lodge in the Adelaide Hills. A number of local, regional, national and global alliances have already been bedded down, including a partnership with luxury travel network Virtuoso, and others are in the pipeline.

In LATTE’s first Q&A column of 2021, we chat exclusively with Jesse Kornoff, General Manager of Mount Lofty House situated in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. Jesse has been onsite at the property since the developments of the new and highly-anticipated addition, Sequoia Lodge, slated to open in April 2021.

Virtuoso’s new regional program devised in Australia is providing a footpath for local suppliers to access the luxury network’s global database of travel advisors. The new partnerships, revealed exclusively by LATTE last month, have provided suppliers with an alternative to dumping inventory with online package specialists, says Adrian Clarke, Virtuoso’s Marketing & Commercial Manager, Asia Pacific.

Mount Lofty House in the Adelaide Hills has revised the official opening date of its six-star luxury addition, Sequoia, to November 2020.

Owners of South Australia’s Sequoia lodge in the Adelaide Hills have rescheduled the planned opening of the $15 million property by nine months, from the previously earmarked December 2019 debut to September 2020.

South Australia will soon have a new luxury offering with Sequoia in the Adelaide Hills earmarking a December 2019 debut. A private and secluded sanctuary with uninterrupted panoramic views, the $15 million luxury lodge will offer guests a six-star experience and be the first of its kind on mainland Australia.
