Hotel and Lodge Magazine just put on a spectacular event in Paris to unwrap its 2022 winners for the best hotels in the world.

Pierre Casiraghi and Boris Herrmann of Monaco Yacht Club Reveal their New Racing Wonder – Malizia III

Malizia III is now more than a glint in the eyes of sailing partners Pierre Casiraghi and Boris Herrmann who revealed the latest exciting news at the Monaco Yacht Club – of which Pierre is Vice-President. Malizia III is no longer just an intriguing concept – think of a banana shape for the shell which has just been unmolded, more rounded and quite different from its predecessor… and heavier altogether. Almost four years of strategizing of how to improve in the marine conditions faced on the Vendee Globe have gone into the design.

Seven partners including the Yacht-club and the EFG bank based in Monaco are involved in this multi-million euro project designed by Sebastien Josse.
