Rocco Forte Sir Rocco Forte (born 18 January 1945) is a British hotelier born in Bournemouth.

He went to Downside School in England as a child and went on to read modern languages at Oxford University. He is the son of Lord Forte from whom he took over as CEO of the Forte Group in 1992.
 

Rocco Forte has got himself a slight problem with the naming of his hotels. His latest property is in Berlin and is called the Hotel de Rome. It opens on October 1. In Rome the Rocco Forte hotel is the de Russie, and yes has a property in Russia too, the Hotel Astoria, St. Petersburg. The Berlin hotel takes its name from a luxury property called the Grand Hotel de Rome, which opened in the late 19th century close to the Bebelplatz where the new Hotel de Rome is located. The original 200-room property was built in 1875 by Adolf Muhling, who included the most modern equipment of the time, such as central heating, marble bathrooms and a hydraulic lift, the hotel rapidly becoming the most prominent hotel in Berlin. The new Hotel de Rome will have 146 rooms and suites; each fitted with discreetly concealed state of the art technology, including flat screen televisions and iPod docking stations. The restaurant will open out to the building's inner courtyard to take advantage of the warmer weather and the hotel's bar features enviable views over the Bebelplatz. http://www.roccofortehotels.com Sep 2, 2006

Midland Mainline

Breakfast still seems to be the most controversial meal of the day when it comes to the business traveler. We've lost track of the airlines and their on/off philosophy but the railway people do seem to know what people want, and breakfast is definite. Train operator Midland Mainline is championing breakfast as the most important meal of the day. The company, whose London services leave from St. Pancras, have introduced its very own Breakfast Ambassadors. The idea is to get to grips with a new menu where the choice has transformed from a traditional breakfast grill and pre-packed bacon butties to almost 20 options, with all hot dishes freshly cooked on board. The 'Full Works' combines a 'Healthy Option' of citrus fruits, cereals and probiotic pro·bi·ot·ic

 yogurt with the Great British - bacon, egg and the trimmings - or smoked salmon, or kippers. Alternatively, diners can now enjoy the 'Healthy Option', a vegetarian grill, salmon or kippers, as individual choices. In addition, Midland Mainline has introduced bacon and sausage baguettes, freshly cooked on board, and toast served on its own or with scrambled eggs. And there's a new range of breakfast snacks including yogurts, smoothies, tropical fruit salad, cereal bars, croissants and Danish pastries. Breakfast baguettes and snacks are served at seat in first class and are available to all passengers from the mm's bar. http://www.midlandmainline.com Sep 2, 2006
