Some hotels are like old friends. Having spent so many happy times there, I feel as though they are woven into the fabric of my life. One such was Malliouhana in Anguilla. When the resort closed in 2011, I felt profoundly sad. Fortunately, it seems that the story is going to have a happy ending. In February, the property was acquired by Chicago-based Adventurous Journeys Capital Partners, which also owns Auberge Resorts. After a comprehensive renovation, Malliouhana will reopen as part of the Auberge portfolio in spring 2014. My next trip to Anguilla will be shortly thereafter.
