‘Slave to the Bean’ by Bill Barnett

Cover

One of Asia’s leading hospitality experts, Bill Barnett, shines a light on the good, bad and ugly of luxury hotels and travel in his acerbic new collection of twisted travel tales and 340 thread count hospitality dirty laundry, ‘Slave to the Bean: Random Dispatches from the Inferno”, set to be launched at 11am, Friday December 18th at Ad Lib Hotel.

Mr Barnett will launch the book along with an art exhibition of the illustrations that illuminate his entertainingly scathing and doom-laden musings, written during his dark nights of the soul in his home on monsoon-soaked Phuket or at 30,000 feet on any number of airlines going all sorts of places.

 As one of Asia’s most respected and influential consultants in hospitality, an inveterate globetrotter and former long-time executive with prominent international hotel management companies and publicly listed organizations in both key and emerging markets, Mr Barnett is the ultimate hospitality insider, having acted as top-level advisor to hotel developers across Asia and beyond.

In ‘Slave to the Bean’ he distills his fear and loathing into a heady brew of dark apocalyptic visions, anecdotes, blunt views and spades called as spades, as he takes aim at his pet peeves and villains, from terrorists to backpackers and the ubiquitous bearded hipsters. It’s a rollicking, off-kilter, breathless read.

“Before I came to Asia, I used to think only girls wore lipstick,” Mr Barnett says, musing on his three-decade-long highly-caffeinated careen through the corridors of power in big hotels and latterly as high level advisor and consultant.

Disruptive current events that came as an onslaught of pure craziness in 2015 become storylines throughout the book. Barnett’s running commentary is woven into the haphazard adventures of a professional traveler and punctuated by a live lived in seat 9D. “If you wanted the Disney version, you came to the wrong place,” he said.

The frenetic travel schedule that connects the stories in 'Slave to the Bean' was a habit learned early for Barnett, who by the age of 19 was road manager for Grammy nominated singer songwriter John Hiatt. He also worked for a record label, in music publishing and as a rock and roll magazine contributor.

Restless and looking for a change he took to the road in a series of strange misadventures of working as a blackjack dealer in Reno, driver on a dude ranch in Wyoming, night clerk of a wilderness lodge in Alaska and a stint in a ski resort which resulted in a near death experience in an avalanche.

Barnett’s sideways journey to Asia began on a small island in Hawaii, when he reading the story of Michael Rockefeller who went missing in Papua New Guinea. Chasing the ghost of Rockefeller, he sold all his belongings, bought a one way ticket to PNG and never looked back.

He arrived in the Philippines the day the People's Power Revolution overthrew Ferdinand Marcos travelled around India for a year in a rattletrap car, and was the first American hotelier to work in post-War Vietnam.

In the past two decades has been appointed to glitzy roles as asset manager of luxury properties managed by leading chains such as Four Season, Ritz-Carlton and Grand Hyatt to senior executive roles with international hotel chains. His start-up hospitality firm C9 Hotelworks has blossomed into a leading consultant in Asia Pacific with work this year in over 15 countries.

Back Page

Over the past four years the Bill has written a series of satirical and hallucinatory tomes, including “Collective Swag”, “It Might Get Weird” and “Last Call”. This time out an inspired all-nighter and moment of clarity turned into a collaboration with the inspired, and somewhat tormented digital craftsman Jason Gagliardi who created stunning images for each story using only an Apple iPhone and iPad.

Gagliardi’s illustrations, created on the smartphones and tablets that have become such indispensable accessories to modern life, add to the surreal punch of Barnett’s barbs and bile, from photo mashups, digital paintings, and various combinations of over 30 apps.

Barnett, whose highly focused consulting firm C9 Hotelworks has firmly established its presence in Asia in hospitality, hotel residences and mixed-used projects continues to be a leading advisor and analyst on emerging markets and has pushed the groups presence into the Indian Ocean and Africa. Be it the Millennial trend of poshtels, adventure focused tented camps or else luxury hotel villas, Barnett is set to be in an airplane finding the next big destination in 2016.

About C9 Hotelworks

C9 Hotelworks is led by founder and Managing Director Bill Barnett, who brings over 30 years' experience in the Asian hospitality and real estate sectors. Prior to founding C9 in 2003, Bill held senior executive roles in hotel operations, development and asset management.

Red Planet Continues Expansion with Flagship Bangkok Hotel

Facade

Red Planet Hotels continues to expand its fast-growing value hotel chain with the opening of the 201-room Red Planet Surawong hotel in the Thai capital, Bangkok.

The Red Planet Surawong, Bangkok hotel is the group's 26th hotel in Asia and fifth in Thailand. Red Planet also owns hotels in the Philippines (ten), Indonesia (seven), and Japan (four). 



This latest addition features significant improvements to room design, including a full working desk and fridge. The lobby features Apple computers to complement Red Planet's signature free high-speed Wi-Fi, which is offered on unlimited devices throughout all of the company's hotels. 

Red Planet Hotels Chief Executive Officer, Tim Hansing, said the latest addition to the company's portfolio would take the number of rooms it operates in the region to 4,118, and that "there is robust scope to double this number in the coming years". 



"It is quite clear since we launched our new brand in July that we have given the value hotel sector the significant shake-up it needed to raise standards and service in this sector of the market. In the rush by developers to cater to the five-star end of the market this sector has, sadly, been left behind at times, and we are changing this," Mr Hansing said. 

"In addition, we always offer a clean and well-serviced stay and have developed a 'best in class' product for the value sector in Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan. 



"Over 70% of our guests are under 30 years old and require a different experience from the usual stuffy and boring hotels. Half of our brand experience is online. We have found that the innovative In-Stay Mode of our app is particularly popular and transforms the experience of staying in our hotels." 


Red Planet Hotels launched its redefined value hotel brand with a mission to apply a cutting-edge technology suite to the room booking process and to unveil its category-leading in-stay mode for guests' mobile devices. 



Mr Hansing further added that Red Planet would soon be making additional announcements in regards to the expansion of the brand in its existing markets and in new countries. 



The company's Remembered loyalty programme is also expanding to offer a wide range of discounts and benefits, whilst the Red Planet Referred affiliate programme now allows anyone promoting its online widget to earn commissions on every booking generated. 



Red Planet also has a partnership with Uniqlo to provide staff uniforms.

These elements, combined with the company's technological and hotel design enhancements, add flair to a hotel sector in Asia that has long-suffered from scant attention to detail.

The House of Masks and Puppets: Education and Entertainment

The House of Masks and Puppets is a place where various kinds of masks and puppets from different regions in Indonesia and around the world have been collected, stored, and displayed for public since 2006. The collection includes more than 1,300 masks and 5,700 puppets. These masks and puppets were collected as a reference can be used for various purposes.

Located just a few miles from the heart of Ubud, the House of Masks and Puppets covers more than 1 hectare of land surrounded by traditional Balinese village and rice fields. The intent and purpose House of Masks & Puppets for preservation – education and entertainment.  “To inspire people to learn about the culture of the past for the benefits of the present and future life,” said Setiadarma, the founder.

At House of Masks & Puppets have a facilities: conference hall, tropical garden, exhibition rooms, performance buildings, Balinese house, wedding venue, theater, discussion room, coffee shop and appreciation as well as an amphitheater with a capacity of 500 people.  Opening hours daily 08.00 am – 16.00 pm.

The House of Masks and Puppets was initiated by Mr. Hadi Sunyoto, a businessman and cultural enthusiast, who has been collecting masks and puppets from different regions in Indonesia for the past seven years. Concerned with the lack of appreciation and awareness towards the disappearing traditional art form of masks and puppets in Indonesia, he decided to create a space to collect, preserve and spread the knowledge of the art form of masks and puppets. As a result, the House of Masks and Puppets was built in 2006.

The use of the word house for the space is used to signify the space as a place for activities, just like a house is. Although it has been a private cultural space, access to the space and its collection has been made available to the public. Since its opening, therefore, several exhibitions and activities have been held on a regular basis.

Collection

The collection of the House of Masks and Puppets currently consists of approximately 7000 items, of which 1300 are masks from Indonesia, Africa, and Japan; whilst the other 5700 are puppets from Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia. Although the House of Masks and Puppets has several objects from other countries, the collection mostly consists of items from various regions in Indonesia. The acquisition of various masks and puppets from other countries is intended for additional learning, appreciation, and understanding of other cultures.

The House of Masks and Puppets is still actively collecting by purchasing or receiving donations from various sources, including from passionate visitors, collectors, and foreign artists who live in Indonesia.

Obama & Setia Darma

The collections of the House of Masks and Puppets are housed in four different traditional Javanese antique houses or commonly known as Joglo. These unique Joglos are mostly originated from East and Middle Java. They are made out of good quality teak wood, and have been put up to help keep their preservation.

The area is available for hire and is suitable for different purposes, including performances, trainings, family/school/group outings, and filming.
