On this episode of GMH Hotels, Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk bring back one of the show’s favorite traditions: the annual predictions review.

At the start of the year, they each made bold calls about the trends, challenges, and opportunities that would shape hotels and travel in 2025.

Now, with December here, they’re revisiting every forecast to see what actually happened, what completely surprised them, and what they never saw coming.

From loyalty and labor to tech, guest behavior, and industry performance, this episode is a fun, honest, and insightful look at how the year unfolded — and how well their early instincts held up.

Perfect way to close out 2025 and set the stage for what’s next!
