Hotel Management is not about the extra work. Hotel Management is not about the extra experience. Hotel Management is not about the extra expertise. Hotel Management IS about the extra responsibility. The performance of the Hotel is on you. The performance of your TEAM is on you. You are the last line of defence. And that’s why I find myself working a 9am-6pm shift on a Sunday when one team member calls in sick and the other two are away for the long weekend. 😂 But it’s important to keep those Guest Service skills sharp. 🙂 #hotelmanagement

Some salient points here for the broader hospitality market, including the private club industry.

Boutique Hotel General Managers True Boutique hotels range from 10 - 50 Rooms and most do not just have rooms, the have suites and villas to reside in. Boutique Hotel General Managers are a different breed to the more larger commercial hotels. Within the Larger hotels you tend to find a GM immersed under paperwork, constantly in meetings, on the computer and out of sight. They do step out here and there for meetings, meal breaks, meet and greet as well as VIP arrivals. Boutique GM's do all this but more in the terms of facial presence, the paper work is less than larger hotels and more concentrated, but the man power is considerably lower in Boutique as margins have to be met, marketing is internal, HR is minimised and lots of staff are Multi-tasking. Micro-management is essential and Hands on is part and parcel of the role. Key roles are filled in these hotel, Exec chef, Maintanence, Accounts, sometimes HR, Reservations (unless you outsource) the rest are filled by supervisor roles or dual role personalities.

A few notes from this article that stand out: - In 2024, hotels across the US are expected to collectively shell out $123 billion in compensation — up more than 20% from 2019, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing data from the American Hotel & Lodging Association. - Hotels are still paring back amenities like daily housekeeping services, which were originally reduced or eliminated entirely during the pandemic. Some 70% of hotels have reduced or eliminated amenities and services on-site in response to staffing shortfalls. - In addition, the workers that are on staff are being asked to do more, such as check in guests at the front desk and mix up beverages behind the bar when needed, per The Journal, while the same employees that are doing laundry are helping with housekeeping duties. #hotelier #hotel #hotelmanagement #hotelsales #hotelmarket #hospitality #hotelpayroll #boutiquehotel
