Dear Frank,
This letter is intended as my personal thank you to you personally and to the Hoteliers Guild team for awarding me with the Sirius Academy Award.
Receiving such a prestigious award fills me with joy and makes me proud to be part of a world, the hospitality’s one, which consider to be more like a family.
Your commitment is remarkable in conveying the message of hospitality to those in and outside the industry, in such a complex and tough period, but a period also full of prospects.
feel particularly attached to this award, because after a career of over 26 years in the world of wellness design, in which have expanded my skills to various other fields while always trying to maintain a holistic approach, believe that this is an award not only to the career but also to the person.
My personal journey has not been easy and has involved a lot of sacrifice, but believe that having brought the concept of wellness to a wider audience through my design has put “Man” and not “Space” at the centre, elevating the human being to the ultimate goal of all endeavours.
Working with the best luxury Brands in the world, travelling and having known many people has made me feel part of something bigger, a sensation that this award has perfectly recognised.
Thank you, Frank, and your Team for the impeccable work.
My personal Best Regards
Alberto Apostoli CEO of Studio Apostoli

Ref.: SIRIUSACADEMYAWARDS Best Sustainable Luxury Hotel Group 2023 Hi dear Frank That is wonderful news!! A huge thank you. Our company, The Red Carnation Hotel Collection was founded by my mother Beatrice Tollman almost 40 years ago, but her career in hospitality began in the 1950s at time when there were few women in business. At the age of 18 she was working with my father in South Africa and from the very start she was aware of the limited opportunities for women to progress in the hotel industry. As woman in a predominantly a man’s world she would often feel disrespected and dismissed. She made commitment to ensure women in our company would have equal opportunities to grow and progress as well as receive equal pay and feel safe and secure. She made that happen and has always encouraged our female team members to be the best they can be. Today we are proud that over 51% pf our teams are female with many holding senior roles within the company, and we consistently strive to provide the safest and most equal workplace possible. Our employee resource group includes woman’s circle which offers support, guidance and assistance to ensure equal opportunities and treatment for the ladies of Red Carnation. As this is very close to our hearts, we were delighted to be a part of the Leading Hôteliéres/EHL study, with many of our hotels participating. We are most grateful to Frank and his colleagues for their passion and dedication in highlighting the need for and importance of an equal gender environment. My siblings and are so proud to continue my mother’s legacy and uphold the values and precedent she began over 70 years ago. Vicki Victoria Tollman Director The Red Carnation Hotel Collection Dear Mr. Pfaller, I would of course be very honoured to accept the SIRIUS award and I thank you very much indeed for this distinction. Franka Holtmann, General Manager Le Meurice
