"The top 3 drivers of experiential hospitality are authenticity, discovery, and well being. The number one determiner of guest satisfaction with the experience when they go into a hotel or a restaurant is that it's authentic. And then number two response was that they discover something that they had not known before or experienced before, or they try something new. And then the third one is that, that they feel joy or wellbeing from it. These are peers and they are interdependent and you take one out and it's a house of cards. It falls or it's a three legged stool. It falls. Because you can't have authenticity unless you have moments of discovery and you can't have that sense of joy or that sense of well being because you've had something be additive to your life by discovering something. Nothing is discoverable unless it's authentic." Larry J Spelts Hotelier specialized in independent, experience-driven boutique hotels

Diving Deeper into KPIs for Luxury Hospitality Let's focus on a specific KPI: Guest Satisfaction Score (GSS). Why is GSS so important for luxury hospitality? * Reputation: A high GSS directly impacts a hotel's reputation and online reviews. * Loyalty: Satisfied guests are more likely to return and recommend the property. * Pricing Power: A strong GSS can allow for higher room rates. How to measure GSS effectively: * Targeted Surveys: Use surveys tailored to specific aspects of the guest experience (e.g., check-in, room, dining, amenities). * Timing: Send surveys immediately after the stay to capture fresh impressions. * Incentives: Offer incentives for completing surveys to increase response rates. * Analysis: Analyze responses to identify trends and areas for improvement. Example GSS questions: * How satisfied were you with the overall cleanliness of your room? * Were you satisfied with the staff's friendliness and helpfulness? * Did the hotel meet or exceed your expectations in terms of amenities and services?
