Design Hotels’ Post

Great conversation with our Retail and Hospitality Directors Dominic Tixerant and Lizzie Knights on the CADA Design webinar last week. Topics covered included: 🛍 The new anchor brands: It's not just about department stores / big retail names any more. Visitor patterns have changed since the pandemic - today, a successful mixed use destination has it's own 'brand', defined by the unique blend of services/ leisure/ wellness/hospitality/ retail that increases dwell time and pull people in from morning to night. 👗 Increase in international entrants to UK retail, particularly from the US - these brands are translated differently here in London, where there is less space than their US market equivalents; while not able to carry the same breadth of lines, the range of townhouse concepts and boutiques offer a more engaging shopping experience. 🥘 It's exciting to see a huge increase in big international hospitality names looking to open in London - particularly from the Middle East and Europe - furthering London's reputation as a world leading restaurant destination and bringing with them a greater focus on service and luxury design.

It is also why the hospitality industry continues to grow by shrinking. “Consolidation endures in the lodging sector as hotel brand and/or management companies as expanding mass and distribution is key to remaining competitive,” said Dan Lesser, co-founder, president and CEO of LW Hospitality Advisors. “There are many independent brands or smaller collections of brands that can scale by leveraging large brand family loyalty platforms.”   Is partnership the new M&A? Maybe not. It’s more of an offshoot or hybrid form of M&A, as LWHA’s Lesser said. But it’s not going away; in fact, it will increase. “We will see more of it because everyone is under pressure to grow and it’s an easy way to do that,” Lesser said.
