Hitting the gym this weekend? In the car for a bit? Going for a walk with 🎧? Just have a spare 21 mins generally 😂, then look no further than our LATEST @EG podcast examining #hospitality, #development and #brandbuilding in central #london with three experts in the sector. I’m a bit biased but it is genuinely a very interesting conversation! Link ⬇️ #hypebeast.
🎧 What do you get when you bring together a hospitality expert, a planning expert and a sustainability policy expert? A thoroughly enjoyable podcast of course! The conversation starts with Whitbread's acquisition of 5 Strand in central London for the hub by Premier Inn brand and quickly expands to cover: ✅ the opportunity for hoteliers (and the environment) in converting redundant offices into hotels in Central London; ✅ the importance of budget hotels to creating a Central London for everyone to enjoy; ✅ the role of the Westminster City Council / WPA Sustainable City Charter in driving down operational energy use in Westminster ✅ beyond building benefits of improved public realm to creating a place where people want to dwell and spend time ✅ doing the small things well and building trust from the get-go And many more important insights that you'll have to listen out for of course via the link below. Sincere thanks to Tim Burke at Estates Gazette for hosting, Michelle Tallner at EG for all the brilliant organisation, and those holding the mic including Jonathan Langdon at Whitbread, @david morris at DP9 Limited and Andrea Williams London Property Alliance (CPA & WPA). The podcast was recorded as part of the London Real Estate Forum conference a fortnight ago. #hotels #development #london #hospitality #5strand https://lnkd.in/gGmjMbNm
