Takeaways: 

 

  • You want to surprise and delight your guests. You want to make them feel welcomed and at home when they stay at your hotel.
  • Sometimes a switch in products or a switch in systems is something that can really help drive your bottom line. 
  • Make sure that your team is being used efficiently. You don’t want to overload them or put them on tasks that aren’t their strong suit.
  • Having the owner's finger on the pulse helps to make decisions and changes run smoother. 
  • Hospitality is about the experience. You want to peak the senses of your guest and make them feel interested and excited about where they are. 
  • You want to create memories for your guests and have them be positive and something they can take with them when they leave the hotel. 
  • Independent hotels have the ability to connect to a place in a very powerful way. It feels authentic and natural. 


Quote of the Show:

 

22:12 “For me, it's all about the experience. I step inside, how does it make me feel, what catches my eye, what do I see? That's interesting. What kind of peaks my curiosity, what about all my senses? That's how I tend to define it, because that is what is memorable to me.”
