Remington Hospitality’s Post

In the ever-evolving world of hospitality, one thing remains constant: the importance of creating unforgettable guest experiences. Whether managing a bustling restaurant, overseeing a luxurious hotel, or leading a dedicated team, our mission is to ensure every guest leaves with a smile. Reflecting on my 11 years in guest relations across five countries, I've learned that success in hospitality isn't just about excellent service—it's about anticipating needs, fostering genuine connections, and going the extra mile to make each visit special. From the smallest details to the grandest gestures, every action we take has the potential to create lasting memories. As I continue to grow in this industry, I'm reminded daily of the power of teamwork, innovation, and passion. Hospitality is more than a job; it's a calling to serve, inspire, and elevate the human experience. Here's to all the incredible professionals out there, working tirelessly to turn moments into memories. Let's keep raising the bar and showing the world what true hospitality means! #Hospitality #GuestExperience #Leadership #PassionForService

MARRIOTT MAGIC! A couple of weeks ago, my longtime friend, Joe Calloway, posted a terrific LinkedIn message about the power of Marriott Hotels’ brand and their commitment to creating a hospitality experience that’s consistent and predictable. I commented back to Joe: Right you are! Clarity, consistency, reliability—drive loyalty, revenue, profits. Marriott has been my go-to hotel for decades. This relationship was solidified 20 years ago—when the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile became a client. Then, the hotel was under the dynamic leadership of Doug Ridge, who is a Marriott veteran. Doug has held numerous leadership positions throughout his stellar 39-year Marriott career. Now, he’s the GM at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. When he was in Chicago, I worked with Doug and his executive team, affectionately dubbed, “The Magnificent Seven.” There were lots of things about Marriott Magic—I learned from Doug and his team, that produced BIG results, like: WISDOM WALK: Daily, Doug strategically "wandered" the hotel. He rode guest elevators. Peeked into meeting rooms. Hung in the lobby, where he called himself, a "lobby lizard!" He asked questions. His goal, see things from the guest's perspective. Share their experience. And to catch his team doing little things right.   LESSONS LEARNED FROM Doug Ridge and his talented team: To gain insights about your products, services, customers or team: Get up. Get out. Get involved! If you’re stuck behind your desk or glued to your computer, you may really be “stuck!” See your customers and people in action. Look for smiles or frowns. Confusion or fascination. Understanding who your customer is, (external and internal), and how they “decide”—helps you make intelligent decisions, to better serve them. What magnificent moments of magic—will you and your team—create for others today? #marriott #branding #hospitality #reliability #consistency #results

Reflecting on ALIS and ALIS Design+ this week, the US Hospitality industry is certainly dynamic, and aimed at enhancing the guest experience. My top takeaways: Hospitality is a resilient asset class with momentum (check stock values for evidence) Capital is ready to be deployed, once macro factors align (constant topic among panelists) Authenticity and Localism are prized among guests (not a surprise, but vital) Thanks to all that pulled it all together, and here’s to a strong year for our industry! #hospitalityindustry #hospitalitydesign #hospitality

The difference between service and hospitality: Service is black and white: it means you’re doing your job with competency and efficiency. Hospitality is color: color means you make people feel great about the job you’re doing for them. #serviceindustry #unreasonablehospitality

Evolution is not just for Marketing and Revenue Management. Long-known for their their charisma and gregarious nature, the Hotel Sales role is also going through a transformation- one where they are becoming the triple threat in having a working understanding of the full commercial space. Last week, Gissell Moronta of Atrium Hospitality shared her take from the Sales perspective of the commercial evolution in our industry.

What's the goal of hospitality? Well, it isn't to receive accolades or praise... After photographing hospitality pro Jake Wise, I started to wonder if hospitality was limited to the restaurant and hotel business. Of course it isn't. It's about making a positive impact and leaving a lasting impression through your actions. Regardless of the size or type of business, genuine care, attention to detail, and a desire to exceed expectations, will foster loyalty & build lasting relationships, earning you a reputation as someone who can be relied upon to deliver exceptional results, even when nobody's watching. #peakheadshots
