Dear Friends and Partners,
Spring - what a special time of the year it is. The grey curtain is, finally, in full retreat and barren land, sky and cityscapes are slowly filling with an abundance of colour and contrast. As clouds skim skittishly 'cross the azure skies, winter's frosty grip is at last lost, and our thoughts turn instead towards recuperation, and a well-earned break after a hard-fought four months.
In this edition of the MaMaison e-news, we present some of our best Easter offers from around Europe, including: ancient processions in sun-drenched Hvar, egg hunts for the kids in Budapest, and a 'green' ecological Easter in Prague. We are also delighted to present the new General Manager of our first Russian venture, Pokrovka Suite Hotel – a 5-star, all-suite hotel in the heart of thriving Moscow.
As always, I hope to see you very soon in one of our Hotels and Residences, each unique in terms of location, class, style and spirit. Our gracious staff are ready and waiting to welcome you warmly, and to ensure that your break truly feels like a 'home away from home'.
With warm regards,
Daniel Penet
Director of Sales and Marketing

Greener holidays in Prague.
In this day and age, limiting energy and water consumption, reducing waste production, attempting to use renewable resources and substances that do not harm the environment are what most hotels aspire to. Successful implementation of such green schemes has been earning Residence Belgicka the reputation of ‘pioneering’ property, directly in line with MaMaison’s ecological and sustainable development initiatives. The ongoing efforts of Belgicka staff, together with the gracious support of its guests, were honoured recently when awarded the Eco Flower label – “the only sign of environmental quality that is both certified by an independent organization and valid throughout Europe.” It is especially noteworthy that Residence Belgicka is the first in Prague to reach this distinction.
Congratulations! Please click here for accommodation options.
