欧洲艺术博览会(TEFAF)宣布著名奢华品牌莱佛士酒店成为2018年TEFAF纽约春季博览会的主要赞助商

    TEFAF是一家举办三大国际艺术博览会的非营利艺术基金会包括：TEFAF马斯特里赫特（Maastricht）博览会、TEFAF纽约秋季（New York Fall）博览会和TEFAF纽约春季（New York Spring）博览会。该基金会近期宣布，广受赞誉的奢华酒店品牌莱佛士酒店及度假酒店成为第二届TEFAF纽约春季博览会的主要赞助商。博览会将于2018年5月4日至8日在历史名胜纽约公园大道军械库举办。

    TEFAF, the not-for-profit foundation that organizes three Fairs internationally, TEFAF Maastricht, TEFAF New York Fall and TEFAF New York Spring, has announced that Raffles Hotels & Resorts, an award-winning, luxury hotel brand, is the lead sponsor for the second edition of TEFAF New York Spring, May 4-8, 2018 at the historic Park Avenue Armory.

    1887年，新加坡莱佛士酒店在东南亚正式开业，标志着莱佛士酒店及度假酒店的创立。它被誉为世界顶级奢华酒店品牌，旗下拥有一系列颇具魅力的传奇酒店。在国际酒店行业，莱佛士品牌可以说是奢华、魅力和超凡体验的代名词，其无可挑剔的定制服务可谓有口皆碑，比如闻名遐迩的莱佛士管家服务。莱佛士品牌覆盖了多个世界主要城市和热门度假胜地，包括备受游客青睐的巴黎、伊斯坦布尔、迪拜和塞舌尔，未来还将继续延伸至更多地区。

    Raffles Hotels & Resorts, established in Southeast Asia in 1887 with the opening of the illustrious Raffles Singapore, is regarded as one of the world’s top luxury brands with an enchanting portfolio of legendary hotels. Arguably the gold standard for luxury, glamour and distinctive experiences in the global hotel industry, the brand is renowned for its impeccable and bespoke guest service — exemplified by the brand’s legendary Raffles butlers. The Raffles flag flies in some of the world’s leading cities and top resort destinations including favorites such as Paris, Istanbul, Dubai and the Seychelles, with many more locations on the horizon.

    莱佛士品牌战略合作关系副总裁Jeannette Ho表示：“莱佛士很荣幸能够成为TEFAF纽约春季博览会的赞助商，为国际艺术收藏家和鉴赏家提供绝佳的交流平台。我们的宾客和我们一样热爱视觉艺术。我们旗下的众多酒店，如伊斯坦布尔莱佛士酒店（Raffles Istanbul）和雅加达莱佛士酒店（Raffles Jakarta），时常举办各类现代艺术展，为莱佛士酒店的大堂和酒廊注入了无限灵感、活力以及当地文化魅力。对于不断为世界各地的观众奉献优秀作品的艺术家、国际经销商和TEFAF博览会，我们深表感激。”

    “Raffles is honored to support TEFAF New York Spring and the marvelous forum it provides for international art collectors and connoisseurs,” said Jeannette Ho, Vice President, Raffles Brand & Strategic Partnerships. “Our clientele shares our passion for the visual arts and many of our hotels, such as Raffles Istanbul and Raffles Jakarta, exhibit the works of contemporary artists on a grand scale, infusing our lobbies and lounges with inspiration, energy and modern local culture. We are grateful to the artists, the international dealers and TEFAF who continue to present such works to a global audience.”

    “TEFAF很高兴莱佛士酒店成为我们第二届纽约春季博览会的赞助商。”TEFAF首席执行官Patrick vanMaris表示，“双方都致力于以最高水准展现文化传承及工艺水平，因而才有了TEFAF和莱佛士水到渠成的合作。我们期待与莱佛士在TEFAF纽约春季博览会上的合作，热烈欢迎来自世界各地的顶级经销商、收藏家、收藏机构和鉴赏家，务求打造非同凡响的体验。”

    “TEFAF is delighted that Raffles Hotels & Resorts is sponsoring the second edition of our New York Spring Fair,” said Patrick van Maris, Chief Executive Officer of TEFAF. “Our shared dedication to the highest standards of cultural heritage and craftsmanship make this a natural partnership for TEFAF. We look forward to working together with Raffles to craft an exceptional visitor experience at TEFAF New York Spring, welcoming the world's top dealers, collectors, institutions, and connoisseurs.”

    此番与TEFAF纽约春季博览会的合作将把莱佛士广受喜爱的经典长廊酒吧（Long Bar）引入纽约公园大道军械库的德瑞尔大厅（Park Avenue Armory’s Drill Hall）和夹楼。形象大使Narajan Singh将会在博览会恭迎各位参观者，他作为新加坡莱佛士酒店的礼宾服务代言人，是莱佛士风俗传统的真实写照。身处TEFAF莱佛士长廊酒吧（前身为设计优雅大方的上校接待室），宾客们能够切身了解和品尝莱佛士招牌饮品“新加坡司令”，这款以金酒为基酒的鸡尾酒由莱佛士调酒师Ngiam Tong Boon于1915年发明。展会期间还将举办一系列特别活动，如开办大师班，由专业人士指导宾客调制新加坡司令。同时游客还可前往隐匿于军械库夹楼（Armory’s Mezzanine Level）的莱佛士露台酒吧。酒吧沿用了巴黎莱佛士皇家蒙索酒店（Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris）的Le Bar Long长吧台造型，设计处处流露巴黎风情。巴黎莱佛士皇家蒙索酒店作为一家皇宫级酒店，拥有专属的室内画廊、艺术礼宾及当代艺术与设计精品书店。

    The association with TEFAF New York Spring will bring the spirit of Raffles’ iconic and much-loved Long Bar to the Park Avenue Armory’s Drill Hall and Mezzanine Level. On hand to welcome Fair visitors will be ambassador Narajan Singh, the iconic and worldly doorman from Raffles Singapore who is a living embodiment of Raffles’ customs and traditions. In the TEFAF Raffles Long Bar, also known as the elegantly designed Colonel’s Reception Room, guests will be able to learn more about, and taste, the brand’s signature Singapore Sling, a gin-based cocktail created in 1915 by Raffles bartender Ngiam Tong Boon. The showcase will also play host to a series of special events throughout the Fair’s run, including master classes on how to prepare the Singapore Sling. Meanwhile, on the Armory’s Mezzanine Level, visitors will find the Raffles Balcony Bar inspired by the stylish Parisian design of Raffles’ Le Bar Long at Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris, a opulent palace that also features its own in-house art gallery, art concierge and contemporary art and design bookstore.

    活动还会设置抽奖环节，获奖者可随意选择心仪的莱佛士酒店的双人体验之旅。奖品赠送环节将于5月3日在TEFAF预展会上进行，活动盈利将悉数捐给史丹基达宁癌症研究中心（Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center）。奖品含招牌奢华套房三晚住宿、双人水疗服务及酒店主厨精制美味大餐。

    During the event, a raffle will also take place with one winner receiving an exclusive stay for two at a Raffles location of their choice. The giveaway, taking place during TEFAF’s Gala Preview on May 3, will benefit Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The prize includes a luxurious three-night stay in a signature suite, spa treatments for two, and a culinary experience curated by the selected hotel’s executive chef.

    在为期数日的盛大展会中，游客还有机会获悉莱佛士酒店的最新发展动态，如新加坡莱佛士酒店目前翻修工程最后阶段的细节内容，或一窥即将开业的华沙莱佛士优若派斯基酒店如何完成华丽变身。华沙莱佛士优若派斯基酒店是一家新文艺复兴风格的宫殿式酒店，风靡于19世纪的欧洲，如今酒店内珍藏着逾400件绝版波兰艺术作品。

    Throughout the multi-day showcase, visitors will also hear about the latest news and developments across the Raffles portfolio including details on the legendary restoration program currently in its final phase at Raffles Singapore and a sneak preview into the remarkable transformation of the soon-to-open Raffles Europejski Warsaw, a neo-renaissance palace that was one of the most beloved hotels of 19th century Europe and which is now home to more than 400 unique pieces of Polish art.

    TEFAF纽约春季博览会创办于2017年5月，专门展出现当代艺术设计作品，今年将迎来90位参展商，包括Lévy Gorvy、Gagosian、Gladstone Gallery、Marian Goodman Gallery、Matthew Marks Gallery和Taffin等知名画廊。这一系列参展商将陆续展示珠宝珍品、非洲及大洋洲艺术作品和文物，探索艺术历史真迹如何影响现当代的伟大艺术家。
