Embassy Suites by Hilton Asheville Downtown’s Post

What are the top U.S. cities for hoteliers?  The recent news of TPG Hotels and Resorts moving its hotel operations office right down the street from us in McKinney, TX is very exciting. This adds to the long list of hotel operators based in the Dallas market.  It reminds me of when I was early in my career trying to determine the best place to live to have a long and successful hotel career. The way we see it – NYC is #1 for hotel real estate firms DC is #1 for hotel brands Dallas has firmly taken the #1 spot for hotel operations (Aimbridge Hospitality, Remington Hospitality, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Coury Hospitality, etc.).     Did we get it wrong? Got another city for the top 3 and why? What cities would round out the top 5? Let us know what you think.  Just for fun, no prizes awarded!

MAINTAIN YOUR FOCUS AND PASSION ..... remember, perspective is entirely dependent on your starting point. Consider my journey, for instance. I began as a Key Filer at the #TorontoSheratonCentre, a hotel with 1407 rooms, where my task was simply to organize the bedroom keys behind the front desk. Fast forward 40 years, and I've opened 5 hotels, renovated and rebranded 3 others, and lived in 7 countries across 4 continents. And now, I have the honour of leading the amazing #DorianHotel team, an incredible group of passionate hospitality professionals. Has every day been wonderful? Certainly not, we all experience highs and lows. However, it's important to keep things in perspective. Take moments to reflect on your completed projects, earned certificates and positions, and the lives you've touched. It's only when you look back that you fully appreciate how far you've come. This retrospection not only reveals the magnitude of your growth but also fuels your drive to continue and to motivate others. The limits to your potential are boundless. #Marriott #Calgaryism #Passion #Leadership #Teamwork #Fun

Let's delve into the intricate process highlighting the time, effort, and strategic planning required in catering to our four critical constituents: Guests, Employees, Owners and Society. Guest-centric Strategy The guest is our raison d'être. Every element, from room design to service protocols, is meticulously tailored to guarantee a memorable experience. Our team members are trained to anticipate and exceed guest expectations, creating a unique hotel experience. Empowering Employees Enthusiastic and well trained employees are the backbone of any exceptional hotel.

Owner Relations Clear communication and transparency with our owners is an integral part of our process. We ensure consistent updates related to constructions, licensing, and budget, making sure we meet the owner's financial and operation expectations. Serving the Society Our Hotel is not just a business, but a part of the community. we strive to integrate local culture, employ local talent, and ensure our operations are sustainable, thereby positively contributing to society. The Journey has reiterated that the success of a hotel hinges not just on its physical attributes, but largely on how effectively it serves its four core constituencies. What has been your experience catering to these four constituencies in your business? #HotelManagement #Leadership #HospitalityIndustry The foundation is laid, and we're almost there!

Now that the shock has worn off...(has it?) Why is the news of Hilton buying Graduate so detrimental to independent hotels? It means one more hotel in your area (and they plan to expand by hundreds) that offer Hilton Honors points. One more that is pulling guests because they want points....and let's face it, Graduate hotels are COOL! This is the ugliest/busiest map ever (don't tell my marketing team 😜 ) but it's so valuable. Look at the THREE highly rated independents in Minneapolis. Can you even find them in the sea of Marriotts, Hiltons, Choice, IHG, etc? Don't worry, I circled them for you. But now, it's only two. PS - MCR Hotels if you want to talk about a program for The Chambers Hotel, let me know 😉 #stayindependent #independenthotels #thebesthotelsareindependenthotels
