Hospitality industry is booming rigorously, to me the term "hospitality" means not only providing services to guests but possessing a pleasant and cordial behaviour, being sensitive to guest needs and priotizing guest needs and preferences which will lead to guest satisfaction and most importantly the guests will come back In the future which leads to some percentage of business guaranteed from them. Hospitality is an art which comes with great dedication and practice which leads to perfection. I can say hospitality is in my blood and I take great pride in saying this. #hospitality #hotel #travel #hotels #restaurant #interiordesign #tourism #hospitalityindustry #food #design #hotellife #luxury #vacation #hotelier #hotelmanagement #hospitalitymanagement #hoteldesign #travelgram #architecture #hospitalitydesign #holiday #chef #restaurants #luxuryhotel #business #covid #hotelroom #events #bar

SHOWERHEAD FLOW RATES ARE NOT ACCURATE We have more than 10 years' experience testing all make and models of showerheads in every hotel brand and boutique hotels, including Marriott, IHG, Hilton, Hyatt, Sonesta, Wyndham, Kimpton, Joie de Vie. In this segment, we look at WHAT THE MANUFACTURE TELLS YOU. Speakman, Moen, Delta, Grohe and Kohler all publish specifications about flow rates of their showerheads. The most common flow rate in 2024 across the US is 1.75 gpm. What that means is these showerheads flow at 1.75 gpm at a "tested" water pressure of either 60 psi or 80 psi. They also say that at lower water pressures (psi), they flow at lower rates. Most say that at 45 psi, their 1.75 gpm rated showerhead will deliver a flow rate of 1.3 gpm. 1.3 gpm is not acceptable for any major hotel brand, anywhere. When I say "not acceptable", I mean, guests will complain about flows at or below 1.3 gpm. Next post - A great example of this is the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins in San Francisco.

Great reading about The Cavendish Hotel Baslow in FT last weekend .. Country House Hotels have enjoy a boom since Covid but it’s the ones who deliver experiences that go above and beyond the typical traditional old fashioned country hotel that are going from strength to strength. You need to deliver more than a breakfast buffet, afternoon tea and let’s face it a boring hotel dining room experience. Guest crave excitement, to have experiences that are more than being able to stay in a grand country pile. Guest want to be inspired, to be excited, they want memorable and transformative experiences that take us away from the everyday. They want to feel energised, looked after, pampered and even to have some fun. Sounds and looks like The Cavendish Hotel Baslow, is a place where all this happens. A magical and enchanting place where memories are truly made. There is romance, glamour, true sense of place, emotion per square foot is everywhere. As well as a inspiring and cosy design, there is a carefully considered food and drink program, a strategy in place, a story around local produce, a proper Afternoon tea, a kitchen table where theatre happens, cocktails and wine, notable chef talent. Guests are invited to explore the local landscape, the surrounding areas, experience local makers, to even eat and drink outside the hotel. There is even an activation ‘what’s on’ calendar. The Cavendish Hotel is certainly much more than a lovely bedroom and a spectacular setting. Shift is happening in and around the country house hotel category, of course not everyone has access to capital investment. But there is definitely a change in guest expectation and owners and hoteliers need to adapt and look beyond tradition, their buildings, their grounds, the old fashioned approach to food and drink, they want experiences that in turn will become social currency, drive brand love, and in turn become those truly unique and iconic places to be. #countryhouse #hotels #emotionpersquarefoot #memorable #transformative #experiences #eatinganddrinkkng #makers #placemaking #senseofplace #cavendishhotelbaslow @cavendishhotelbaslow Financial Times

Menus are a statement of intent, a promise of the magical experience to come. But in the pursuit of pleasing every palate, it’s easy to fall into the trap of an overcrowded menu. I've seen it so many times, especially in hotels. Let's embrace the art of restraint and create menus/stars that not only reflect our talent but also speak to the hearts (and stomachs) of those we serve. #menudesign #menudevelopment #hotels #foodandbeverage #hotelsandresorts #businessstrategy #owneroperators

The Pineapple’s Ongoing Impact Several luxury hotels and resorts embrace the pineapple's emblematic legacy by incorporating it into their experiential offerings. Whether it's a pineapple placed in guest rooms or incorporated into the hotel's culinary fare, these displays continue to imbue spaces with a sense of welcome that crosses cultural boundaries. Hospitality doesn't just thrive in static decorations; it's lived and breathed in experiences. Elite events harness the power of the pineapple by featuring it in menu selections, creative cocktails, or event themes that spell out a welcoming ambiance. Far beyond just being a delicious fruit, the pineapple stands as an international beacon of hospitality. Its journey from Christopher Columbus's treasured discovery to a modern symbol of welcome and good cheer is a testament to the fruit's deep-seated significance. The industry's adoption and reiteration of this emblem speak volumes about its universal value, bridging historical grandeur with modern sophistication. As the pineapple continues to inspire hoteliers, event planners, and restaurateurs, it underscores an age-old truth: hospitality is about making guests feel esteemed, cared for, and above all, welcome. The pineapple, as a symbol, transcends its colonial ostentation to embody the golden thread of warmth that ties the whole hospitality industry together, creating an enduring legacy that is likely to thrive for generations to come. www.emergehospitality.com #pineapple #hospitality #hotel #hotelmanagement #luxury #serviceexcellence #emerge

Once humble havens for the travel-weary, hotels have become veritable citadels of luxury and experience. Yet, beneath the surface, a quiet revolution is stirring. Six months ago, the Michelin Guide - our trusted culinary compass - cast its discerning gaze towards the world of hospitality, unveiling its 'Key' rating system for hotels. These 'Keys' are not mere nods to thread counts or the punctuality of room service. They celebrate something far more evocative: the very character, soul, and artistry of an establishment. The implications are tantalising. Just as Michelin stars have transformed chefs into rockstar-like figures, lionised for their culinary brilliance, are we now standing on the cusp of a similar phenomenon in hospitality, where the visionaries behind exquisite hotel experiences are lauded more than the experiences themselves? The stage may well be set for the rise of the Michelin-Keyed hotelier. https://lnkd.in/dEYw7EvF
