PTG Studios “Great Taste” to feature Hotel Unique

PTG STUDIOS FEATURES Hotel Unique - PTG
Uploaded by ptgstudios

Deerfield Beach, FL – Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Hotel Unique of Sao Paulo, Brazil, for its innovative, educational television series, Great Taste. The segment “Unique Travel Destinations & Luxury Hotels” will feature the modern, very bold architecture as well as the activities, amenities, cuisine and culture of the hotel and feature an interview with a hotel representative.
With 96 rooms and suites, the hotel is especially appealing to business travelers because of its location and modern use of technology. Less than two years old, Hotel Unique features flat- screen TVs in all rooms, as well as DVD and CD players, high-speed Internet access, an avant-garde fitness center with massage, sauna, steam room, gym, and a rooftop restaurant and bar that is the gathering place of the city.

The exterior of the hotel looks like a curved green copper moonscape, or some have suggested a watermelon wedge with porthole-style windows. It is located in the exclusive residential area of Jardins. Brazilian architect Ruy Ohtake has created a landmark for the city of São Paolo, a clever postmodern design that is striking.

It features a lobby desert garden, dramatic high internal spaces with walls of beige marble and sharp geometric themes that interweave throughout. Sleek white furnishings and transparent glass tables extend the modernistic images. There is even a crimson-red heated swimming pool on the penthouse level with underwater sound system and fiber optic lighting. Because of the exterior's inverted arc, the hotel's prized corner rooms have one curving-wood, floor-turned-wall. Like a skateboard ramp, the floor and wall flow seamlessly together. The violet-hued corridors undulate, a wave-like touch that allows the interior design to reflect the curves of the exterior.

"I find your typical, counter-topped hotel front desk both bureaucratic and uncomfortable, forcing a guest to stand and face a lot of administrative clutter," says the Unique's developer, pharmaceutical heir Jonas Siaulys. "I wanted something more comfortable, clean and inviting, “ he says. “And what's more inviting than offering guests a seat and a glass of champagne." That is the check-in: Guests relax in the lobby and are registered using wireless laptops.

The hotel “combines monumental architecture with whimsical design and luxurious informality,” according to one review. It has won accolades in the travel press, and upscale U.S. travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler ranked it among the world's 80 "hottest" hotels in 2003. “With its hyper-unreality and eclectic mix of the epic and the understated, it reflects the zeitgeist of ever-changing and ever-challenging São Paulo,” concludes another report on Hotel Unique.
Even the website is modern and unusual.

PTG Studios “Great Taste" to feature Grand River Ranch
--Colorado High Country Real Estate Opportunity--

PTG studios features Grand River Ranch
Uploaded by ptgstudios

PTG Studios is pleased to announce the selection of Grand River Ranch for its innovative, educational television series, Great Taste. The company will be featured in the segment “Real Estate Investment Opportunities” on “Great American Properties” series. It will air nationally on the Discovery and Travel channels, and regionally on news networks in many top markets.

Only two hours northwest of Denver, CO, and two miles north of the rural ranching community of Kremmling and its private jet accessible airport, the breathtaking Grand River Ranch stretches across 19,000 acres of western alpine landscape in Grand County’s Middle Park—a taste of the Old West combined with amazing new common amenities. With views of the Gore Range, lush natural meadows and valleys laced with ponds, the purchasers of this land in the Colorado High Country will have a visual utopia. Of the nineteen deeded ranches created, only ten, representing thirty percent of the land, remain available. The ranches range in size and each has its own unique character and a small number of designated homesites. Grand River Ranch offers an “exceptional experience” in land ownership, recreational opportunities and quiet seclusion close to nature. All current owners have either built or in the process of planning and building family legacy homes on their property.

The ranch’s design was carefully and wonderfully made, balancing the use and enjoyment of the land with the preservation of its natural and unique characteristics. Five spectacular common areas have been built, including two fishing camps with day and overnight cabins, a sporting clays shooting range, ranch headquarters and equestrian center, and the rustically elegant Grand River Ranch Lodge offering fine dining and overnight accommodations for owners. The ranch provides excellent river habitat to accommodate extraordinary fly-fishing and superior wildlife habitat to provide for an abundance of deer and elk, and an occasional moose and bear. Outdoor enthusiasts have abundant opportunities to recreate with plenty of shady forests and wide-open spaces to enjoy riding on horseback, hiking, mountain biking, four-wheeling and cross-country skiing. Rafting the Colorado River through Gore Canyon is a thrill reserved for experts only, and nearby Wolford mountain reservoir is a perfect playground for water skiing, personal watercraft, boating and fishing.

With accessibility to thousands of acres adjacent to the National Forest, BLM land and State Land, Grand River Ranch is not only an ideal playground in itself, but serves as a gateway to endless leisure activities. In any season, the recreational opportunities at Grand River Ranch are as wide-ranging and diverse as the land itself.

"This is a multi-generational project for our family and I think it is probably going to be that way for all the other ranch owners," said Charlie Gallagher, the owner.
