As a meeting planner, RFPs are certainly a valuable tool for selecting hotel venue options for your group. They allow you to clearly outline the requirements for your client events, compare amenities and negotiate group rates. And depending on the size of your group, they may be the best way to go. But did you know that this process can be greatly simplified to avoid the barrage of email and phone calls that follows an RFP submission? Group booking sites like #GroupSync allow you to shave weeks off your planning time with an automated, streamlined online RFP process. And for smaller meetings or ones with a shorter booking window, you can even book instantly online—and skip the RFP altogether! Ready to learn how?

🌟 Advocacy isn't just a choice—it's a necessity for independent hotels navigating a landscape dominated by franchised properties. Unlike big-brand hotels with corporate lobbying power, independent properties face unique challenges and must navigate complex laws, regulations, and policies to thrive. In the latest issue of Today's Hotelier, Vic Ragha, AAHOA Ambassador for the North Texas Region, dives into why advocacy is crucial for independents and how they can carve their own path to success. 📖 Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/3NdCj5z #IndependentHotels #HotelAdvocacy #TodaysHotelier #AAHOA #HospitalityLeadership

The American hotel industry is undergoing a significant transformation post-pandemic, as highlighted in this thought-provoking NPR article: https://lnkd.in/eDR6tivt Key takeaways: 1. 🏨 Hotels are operating with fewer staff due to increased efficiency and changing guest preferences. 2. 🌴 "Bleisure" travel, a blend of business and leisure, is on the rise as remote work becomes more prevalent. 3. 📈 Despite the challenges, major hotel chains are seeing their stock prices surge to record highs. 4. 🏗️ However, fewer people are buying and building new hotels due to high costs and stricter lending practices. At Lodgeur, we believe that furnished apartments within multi-family housing (MFH) assets offer a unique advantage in this evolving landscape. While hotels are typically designed for a specific use case, MFH assets can be adapted for stays of any length, from short-term "bleisure" trips to extended stays. This versatility allows us to cater to a wide range of guest needs and preferences, whether they're seeking a temporary home for a work project or a comfortable base for a longer vacation. Our furnished apartments provide the flexibility and amenities that modern travelers desire, all within the comfort and privacy of a residential setting. Moreover, as hotel construction slows down due to economic challenges, furnished apartments in MFH assets can help meet the growing demand for accommodation options that bridge the gap between traditional hotels and long-term rentals. As the hospitality industry continues to adapt to the post-pandemic reality, we at Lodgeur remain committed to leveraging the flexibility of MFH assets to provide exceptional furnished apartment experiences for our guests. #Hospitality #FurnishedApartments #BleisureTravel #MFHAssets #Lodgeur
