“Of course, part of the charm of boutique hotels is that they don’t attract people who like chain hotels. They tend to attract people who dislike copy and paste, inauthentic hospitality experiences. People who prefer character, smaller properties, individuality, and the absence of a corporate dead-hand. Whatever crossover there is between points-junkies and boutique lovers largely centres around the separation of business and leisure travel: high-end business travel is strongly correlated with chain hotels, even if the guest personally prefers a boutique experience.” In our Jan/Feb Diary entry, we take a look at the increasing number of partnerships between boutique hotels and large loyalty schemes.

Following on from the list of the world's best hotels, I now have the list for Thailand, my home. When I don't see a hotel such as the Siam on the list I have to ask myself how it's compiled. I have come to the conclusion that the type of guests who visit the very best hotels, such as The Siam or the Mandarin Oriental or the Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve maybe just aren't the type of clients that review hotels on sites such as Trip Advisor. If this is the case, how can we ever compile a true list of the best properties? Do the very best hotels rely on these lists for business or is their reputation alone enough to keep occupancy high? https://lnkd.in/eSJWDmxQ

From Lighthouse, with love: There is a new report, waiting for you. ♥️ Read now the "state of global hotel pricing" regarding the second half of 2023. The first half of 2023 showed steady growth in pricing for the global hotel industry but it appears that the second half of 2023 has showed signs of that slowing down. Despite the overall slowdown, Europe's hotels and Asia-Pacific's short-term rentals displayed remarkable resilience and growth. Regardless, consumers' unwavering commitment to travel and tourism could offer a distinct resilience to the hospitality industry in 2024.

5moInteresting and, in my view, accurate observation about how the ultra-wealthy view hotel loyalty programs: "the idea of diligently collecting rewards to get free nights here and there is anathema to this cohort. Far too insignificant and far too much effort." Thanks for the piece, Winston.
