Meet Renzo, Knight of Gozo

Renzo, Knight of GozoWow, the week is over, and the weekend with it! That’s probably due to the fact that I had quite a lot of fun over the past few days. One of the highlights was Earth Hour last night – did you flip the switch to off as well? Over at the hotel, five hundred candles did a wonderful job at making people happy. The candlelit dinner was nothing short of fabulous – even though the room temperature soared, giving the true meaning to “warm candle light”. I took a whole bunch of photos, which I’ve uploaded to the Kempinski’s Flickr page.

And then there was the major and long awaited event of Renzo, Knight of Gozo, being born! Renzo is the new mascot of the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz. Isn’t he handsome? Well, he would be. Dreamed up by two ladies, my boss Tanja and myself, and then brought to life by a third one, the very talented Nicole, there was simply no way he could turn out ugly! And I can tell you, we’re all very much in love with him…

Renzo just introduced himself on Discover Gozo, and if you like him as much as we do, why don’t you hop over to facebook and befriend the cute guy? He’s still single, by the way!

For a while I was kidding myself, hoping he’d be able to take some of my workload onto his strong shoulders. But that illusion only lasted until I started juggling three identities on facebook and twitter (yep, you can follow Renzo on twitter, too!). Now that’s what I’d call split personality…

Happy Day at Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz!

This is not a paid advert – just taking the liberty to give a little plug to my place of work. ;)

If you are planning to pay the little rock of Gozo a visit in autumn, which is one of the most beautiful times of the year -  you could do worse than taking up the special offer of the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz! But you’d need to hurry, because this is available today only:

All online bookings made today for stays between 5th and 8th October or 19th and 22nd October will benefit from 4-star prices: you pay just EUR 99 per night for a Deluxe Poolview Room for 2 persons and including breakfast! Don’t phone: the offer is exclusively available through our online booking engine. You can book here. Obviously this is subject to availability, so if you’ve made up your mind, don’t leave booking until minutes before midnight…

You might want to consider that breakfast at the Kempinski is as good as lunch elsewhere, and in the unlikely event that the weather won’t oblige, you will love the heated indoor pool, the use of which is naturally free of charge for hotel guests. Using the gym, tennis & squash courts – and obviously the outdoor pools – is also free!

Deluxe Poolview Room at Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz - which can be yours for EUR99 per night in October!
