✨ A Decade of Timeless Excellence ✨

The Cugó Gran Collection proudly marks ten years of celebrating heritage, artistry, and understated luxury.

From the restoration of the serene estate of Cugó Gran Menorca to the Cugó Gran Macina, a 16th-century bastion in Malta, each destination embodies a philosophy of authenticity, cultural respect, and design with purpose.

As we look ahead to the unveiling of Cugó Gran Vittoriosa, we remain committed to redefining luxury through heritage; creating experiences that are as enduring as the stories behind them.

🌿✨ Welcome to Radish by Hammett’s, a new chapter in the Hammett’s Collection story, brought to life in partnership with the Von der Heyden Group (VDHG). Nestled in the heart of St. Julian’s, Radish isn’t just a place to eat, it’s a space to pause, savour, and connect.

Inspired by the nostalgic charm of Italian trattorias and the effortless elegance of the French Riviera, Radish moves with the rhythm of your day. Mornings begin with the scent of freshly baked bread. Lunchtimes are alive with bold seasonal flavours and nourishing dishes designed to elevate your everyday. And as the sun dips, the mood shifts, lights dim, cocktails pour, and the spirit of aperitivo awakens.

Here, food is more than sustenance. It’s celebration of simplicity, quality, and intention. It’s where handmade pasta and crafted cocktails invite you to slow down and rediscover joy in the little things.

🌍 As part of the award-winning Hammett’s Collection, Radish reflects a commitment to global inspiration, local warmth, and experiential dining. With a legacy of culinary excellence led by Chris Hammett, each restaurant under the Collection offers a different flavour of the world, from Latin America to Asia to Northern Europe, and now, the Riviera.

Whether you’re grabbing a soulful office lunch, catching up with friends over wine and bites, or ordering joy to your doorstep, Radish is here to make the everyday feel extraordinary.

🎉 Happy Birthday to Sven von der Heyden!

Today honours the visionary entrepreneur behind Von der Heyden Group, IBB Hotel Collection, and Cugó Gran Collection. Sven began his journey in his 20s importing fruit into Poland and gained international experience in Spain before founding the Von der Heyden Group in 1989. He soon expanded into real estate, acquiring prime properties in Germany and the U.S., and pioneering developments in Poland like Liberty Corner and Ks. Skorupki 4.

He ventured into hospitality with the IBB Hotel Lublin and later the IBB Hotel Collection. Notable achievements include the Poznań Financial Centre, Andersia Tower, and Bavaria Towers in Munich. After selling Bavaria Towers at a record price, he expanded in Malta with Cugó Gran Macina and IBB Hotel Palazzo Bettina, partnered with Hammett’s Collection, and launched the AND2 project in Poznań.

Sven’s bold vision continues to redefine the skylines of Europe. Wishing him continued success, new milestones, and ever-greater achievements. His leadership remains a true source of inspiration to us all.
