The #hospitality market is holding up well overall. Nationally, occupancies have slipped within the economy and midscale segments of the market. Conversely, upscale and luxury segments are seeing increased demand, driven by group bookings for events and conferences. The strongest occupancy gains have been in cities like New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Seattle, while markets such as the Inland Empire, Sacramento, Orlando, and Tampa have seen declines.

"Placemaking is magic and the power lies within partnerships" It was brilliant to attend yesterday's morning panel hosted by 3Search and Charlotte Titmuss with Alice Bodill-Maher, hearing from marketing teams leading some of the biggest urban regeneration projects across London and beyond. Having started my marketing career focusing on exactly this (from a local shopping centre to London mixed use campuses and retail across the country) it's really interesting to hear how this industry continues to evolve and embrace the changes that consumers want to experience when choosing where to spend their time. However, whilst all the key points are tangible to other areas of marketing (know your audience, data wins over opinion) it was great to reflect on how, post covid and in a changing era, countryside and rural businesses are also embracing placemaking to open up access to local communities, encourage tourism and deliver positive experiences for all. It's great to see what our team are doing with clients in this space to diversify their offering - from vineyards, to shepherd's huts, park runs and wedding venues - the concept of 'placemaking' has never been so important! #placemaking #businessdiversification

Over the past few years, there has been a notable shift in the way people choose to lead their lives, with a significant number opting for a deliberate shift in lifestyle. Some individuals have embraced a coastal or countryside transformation, while others have opted for urban living in close proximity to cities. Living close to a city offers many experiences including great dining, exhibitions, sporting events, and entertainment every day and night of the week. And when it comes to building a home, you have the benefit of getting creative in a smaller space due to the limited land size. If you’re thinking about inner-city living, here are five things to embrace in your urban oasis. Read more in our blog via https://buff.ly/46JXUup. #PartnerwithRODA #NewGenerationBuilders

"we lifted our thinking to a higher level and got out of focusing on the day-to-day crap. now we're focusing our efforts where it matters." "it felt like we had all these problems, and now we have a lot of solutions." particularly in times of uncertainty, there's so much value in having clear direction and confidence that it's the right path. 🧭 don't we all want that level of clarity for our business? #hospitalitydesign #hospitality #hospitalityindustry #hoteldesign Adam Kubryk

We are very lucky to work with some awesome clients at PeoplePlacesSpaces, but once in a while, the dream brief lands in your lap, and finally, we have the results of our hard work, vision and ambition. TFE Hotels approached us a few years ago with the ambition of opening a lab in Berlin to test the future of hotel rooms and tech functionality. What they didn’t have was a brief for what their future guests would want from a new hybrid hospitality product or what the guest experience should be. And that’s where PeoplePlacesSpaces came in. We went into deep consumer research about how people would be travelling post-pandemic and what this means for the type of room design, tech experience and overall values that led us to create a strategy and a brand for TFE Hotels starting in Europe, but with bold ambitions for Australia and beyond. MM:NT is the result of huge trust from everyone who worked with our brief and adopted the brand values and brand experience principles we set out using our Brand DNA methodology and those who have brought their own expertise to the ever-evolving MM:MT Berlin Lab - HATO ACME BWM Architekten und Partner ZT GmbH Häfele SE & Co KG LIKE MAGIC We will continue to work closely with the TFE teams globally as they take the learnings from MM:NT Berlin Lab to create a hybrid hospitality brand that aligns with guests values and travel expectations. If you want to know more about our approach at PeoplePlacesSpaces and how we could help you shape a future or existing project then reach for a coffee and a chat.

Lifestyle is sensory, Narrative is emotional. Brands, especially in hospitality, have operated under a “neutral” stance, tapping into certain aspects of our daily lives that they can translate in a hotel setting. But for many, that’s no longer enough. As we become more impassioned by causes, more aware of the impact of our buying decisions, and share our travels more openly - it’s becoming more and more important to align our stays with our beliefs and become hyper aware of the brands that we support. https://lnkd.in/eNbwYf_X
