Luxury boutique Hotel Concept to Make Debut April 1 by Reflagging San Antonio's Iconic Watermark Hotel & Spa

Adam Kirby, Associate Editor -- Hotels, 2/3/2010 1:53:54 PM

IRVING, TEXAS - The new luxury boutique hotel brand from Omni Hotels will be loosely based on The Watermark Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, which will be the first property to fly the new Mokara brand flag.

The new Mokara Hotels & Spas brand, which will officially launch April 1, will have a focus on wellness and will be positioned to compete with other luxury brands like Shangri-La and Mandarin Oriental, according to Mike Garcia, Omni's senior vice president for development.

At least initially, Mokara will be led by the same executive management team as Omni Hotels & Resorts and will operate for corporate organizational purposes as a sub-brand of Omni. Mokara properties will be primarily owned and managed by Omni, although the company is open to third-party management opportunities.

While Mokara is not specifically a conversion brand, those will be the bulk of deals going forward, Garcia says. "The opportunity is conversion of current properties," he says. "As you look down the road, we would certainly consider new-builds. But the environment we're looking at is that there are assets out there for conversion."

Garcia offers no timetable for expansion, but says there are about 25 hotels under consideration for the Mokara brand. Urban and resort markets in North America are the target locations for Mokara, as are some potential resort sites in South America.

Omni executives have long believed that The Watermark Hotel holds potential as a brand, and future Mokara properties will be broadly modeled on the iconic property. However, like the flagship Omni brand, Mokara properties will not share a uniform design template but instead will reflect regional style and influences.

Omni does not own the copyright on The Watermark name, necessitating a different brand moniker. Omni settled on the Mokara name because, as the company's existing spa brand, it creates a link to Omni while also evoking a sense of wellness rejuvenation, which is at the core of the brand concept. Mokara is a type of orchid, the flower that also happens to be the Omni Hotels logo.

The target demographic for Mokara are adults aged 35 to 54 with a household income of more than US$100,000. Mokara will be marketed at executive-level business travelers looking to relax, as well as affluent couples interested in a weekend retreat. Mokara will not generally be positioned as a family-friendly brand.

Mokara concierges will be tasked with contacting all guests prior to arrival to learn about the reasons for the impending trip and will appoint guestroom amenities accordingly.

From a food and beverage standpoint, all Mokara properties will feature signature destination restaurants that will rely heavily on local covers.

SAN ANTONIO, January 2010 - San Antonio's Forbes Four Star Watermark Hotel & Spa and historic Omni La Mansin del Rio are ringing in the New Year with high honors from Cond Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure, two of the nation's leading consumer travel magazines. The Omni sister properties, located along San Antonio's famed River Walk, were included in Cond Nast Traveler's 2010 "Gold List" and Travel + Leisure's "Word's Best Hotels" 2010, standing as the only properties in San Antonio to hold these coveted distinctions.
"We are honored to be ranked by these outstanding publications and in such a competitive industry poll," said Rusty Wallace, general manager for the Watermark Hotel & Spa and Omni La Mansin del Rio.

These accolades come at an ideal time as we're seeing pick-up in our 2010 bookings for the New Year."
Cond Nast Traveler's "Gold List" is based on data collected from an annual survey. To qualify for inclusion, properties had to receive a required minimum number of responses from readers. Out of a possible 100 points, readers awarded the Watermark Hotel & Spa an overall score of 92.2 and Omni La Mansin del Rio a score of 87.4, placing them among only six Texas properties to be included on the competitive list and the only properties in San Antonio.
The 2010 Travel + Leisure "500" recognizes the 500 highest-rated hotels, resorts, inns and lodges from Travel + Leisure's 2009 "World's Best Awards" survey and identifies what makes each special. Included in a list among only seven Texas properties to have received this ranking, the Watermark Hotel & Spa received an overall score of 93.08 and 90.26 for Omni La Mansin del Rio, out of a total 100 points.

Conde Nast Traveler has included San Antonio's Watermark Hotel & Spa in its Gold List.

It is the third consecutive year that the River Walk property has received such a designation from the publication.

Watermark officials say the hotel was highly rated by Conde Nast Traveler readers, with an overall reader rating of 92.7 as one of the worlds best places to stay.

This recognition is the perfect kick-off to the New Year, says Watermark General Manager Rusty Wallace. We are delighted to have received this top honor ... and are pleased to have the support of our loyal customers.

Conde Nast Travelers 15th annual Gold List is a guide to the worlds top hotels, resorts and cruise lines. The rankings are based on more than 32,000 readers evaluations of a property's food and dining, location, design, rooms and services.

The Watermark is owned by Omni Hotels Corp. Irving, Texas-based Omni operates 43 hotels and resorts across North America.

Award-winning Restaurant's Menu Showcases the Spirit's Sophisticated Side with "Sip Not Shot"

SAN ANTONIO, TX
Initiating the newest trend in enjoying spirits, Pesca on the River, located at the Mobil Four Star Watermark Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, introduces a distinctive tequila tasting menu that will give spirit aficionados and novices alike the opportunity to experience the slight subtleties of tequila - from "smokey" to "peppery" - and to learn how to pair this stylish, distilled libation with sophisticated dishes - salt and lime not needed.

With a popular, often unsavory reputation in the United States as a Spring Breaker's shot of choice, tequila is actually considered one of the most chic spirits in Mexico. (Despite urban legend, true tequila does not contain a worm in the bottle and is not made from a cactus plant). As a matter of fact, tequila tasting is a growing trend as seen in last year's first-ever introduction as an event at the renowned Aspen Food and Wine Festival.

Pesca on the River has designed a tequila tasting menu that is unrivaled in Texas, listing several exclusive bottles, such as the 1800 Coleccin Especial that sells for $125 per glass, and the signature $100 "La Serena de Oro" (Golden Mermaid) Margarita featuring Don Julio Real, 100-year-Old Anniversary Grand Marnier, Port 20-year-Old Taylor Fladgate, and Hennessy Paradis.

As of September 25, 2005, the signature $150 "Best Margarita in the World" is mixed and served to Pesca's guests tableside. Featuring a delectable mix of Rey Sol, 150-year-Old Anniversary Grand Marnier, Hennessy Paradis and Far Niente Dolce, the concoction is served in a souvenir hand-blown glass by local artist Gini Garcia, as is the "La Serena de Oro" margarita.

"Tequilas have so much behind them but are yet undiscovered by most connoisseurs," says Luciano Ciorciari, Pesca on the River general manager. "We have 75 different bottles of tequila and tequila products, with a wide price range from $7 to $125 per glass."

Pesca's tequila menu will expose patrons to an array of tequilas and associated products. A special feature on the menu is the Pesca Pearl Oyster Shooter. The bartender presents guests with a sleek, chrome shaker, chilled Cuervo Traditional Tequila, sangrita and a special oyster selection, allowing guests to mix the ingredients themselves. Also included on the list will be Blanco Tequilas, served Bandera style representing the "flag" of Mexico, enjoyed as a great apritif to accompany oysters and shellfish, and Reposados, Aejos and Super Aejos, sipped as an after dinner beverage to substitute for brandy and cognac. Pesca is also featuring an entire cocktail menu based on tequila, including drinks such as 4 Tequinis, Tequila Mojitos, Mexican Coffee, Guerito, Chihuahua, Paloma Blanca, Charro Negro and Pesca Blue Martini. Varieties of Sotol and Mezcal, two authentic agave-derived liquors similar to tequila, top off Pesca's indulgent drink menu as regional Mexican features.

~Tequila Classifications ~

No other libation has the legend and lore of tequila, the first distilled spirit in North America. Tequila, obtained from the hearts of the blue agave plants, received its name from its region of origin in Mexico; however, the name itself is still a mystery. Some say the term comes from the Nahuatl, a group of people that first inhabited the area, which translates to "the place of harvesting plants."


* Plata or Blanco (Silver or White) - When the clear white tequila drips from the cooling coils of the alambique, it is called silver or plata, but is more commonly known as white or blanco. Blanco/Plata is clear tequila that is normally bottled right after distillation.

* Joven or Suave (Young or Smooth) - After distillation, some producers allow the tequila to settle and finish for a few weeks in the tanks before bottling. Some add coloring or herbs which impart a pale golden color and then age it for one or two more months.

* Reposado ("Rested") - The first definitive level of aging is termed reposado (rested) and mandates that the tequila remain in wooden containers for a period of two to 12 months. Generally, these tequilas are aged in large wooden tanks for three to nine months. The wood imparts color and flavorings to the tequila, which is commonly labeled as "Gold."

* Aejo (Aged or Vintage) - Aejo (vintage) can only appear on bottles that contain tequila aged a minimum of one year. A year of resting in a cool bodega produces a smoother and more sophisticated taste, and American whiskey barrels, French oak casks, or cognac barrels are commonly used to age the tequila. Aejos are typically aged between one and three years. They are darker in color, more complex in flavor, and smoother than reposado tequilas.


~ Defining Luxury and Charm in the Heart of San Antonio's River Walk ~

With stunning views of the tranquil River Walk, the acclaimed Watermark Hotel & Spa blends serene grandeur and relaxed sophistication, and features 99 elegant rooms, plus a 17,000-square-ft. spa, with 19 private treatment rooms, private Sanctuary Lounges and couple's treatment suites.
