Another great event this week by the team at Independent Lodging Congress!

“Be big. Work small.” James 'JC' Curleigh My first Independent Lodging Congress did NOT disappoint. I left inspired and energized by this industry and the people in it. It was a masterclass in hospitality as a vehicle for positive human connection. We answered questions like, “How do you turn stay into experience?” “Do you have to have amenities to offer value?” (Spoiler: the answer is partnerships) and “What do the next generation of travelers want?” We discussed our relentless obsession with guest touchpoints, the line between enhancing and eroding experience with the proliferation of digital, escalation versus scaling, and where independent hotels get it right with the culture of their BOH. We forecasted the evolution of luxury mirroring the evolution of how people value time. The evolution of design mirroring the evolution of how we use spaces. The evolution of wellness mirroring the evolution of community. We found commonality in our appreciation for sentiments like, “Deep listening by a front design agent is irreplaceable,” Patrick Siegel and “It’s the things that go wrong that lead to innovation, not the things that go right.” Eric Jafari Thank you to Independent Lodging Congress for bringing together this incredible group of humans in a gorgeous destination Cavallo Point Lodge... oh and for providing therapy bunnies. 🐰 #hospitality #indie #independent #boutique #branding
