When the short daylight hours and cold temperatures make us miss those lazy days lounging by the beach, enjoying exhilarating boat trips, sipping cocktails poolside, and spending long summer evenings chatting around a dining table with the sound of crickets as a soundtrack... The only solution is to start planning the next summer holiday! Check out the photos for five of our favorite European luxury villas that are still available this summer! #luxurytravel #luxurytravelinsider

Creating a compelling story is crucial for independent hotels to connect with guests on a personal level. Storybranding helps to communicate the hotel's unique character and values, making it stand out. But beyond telling the story, it's about living it—this is where Storydoing comes in. Take a vineyard hotel, for instance. Instead of just talking about their wine-making heritage, they can offer immersive vineyard tours with the winemaker, wine-tasting sessions paired with locally sourced foods, and rooms that are named after grape varieties, each with a story to tell. A mountain lodge can emphasize its commitment to adventure and tranquility. They might design custom hiking trails, offer handcrafted gear for guests, and host evening storytelling sessions by the campfire with local legends. An urban boutique hotel can showcase local culture by featuring art from local artists in the rooms, organizing street art tours, and serving meals made from locally sourced ingredients. The staff can act as cultural guides, sharing hidden gems and must-visit spots in the city. Consistency is key. Every aspect of the hotel should reflect its story, from the decor and amenities to guest interactions. This creates a cohesive and immersive experience that guests will remember long after their stay. By weaving their story into every touchpoint, independent hotels can build strong connections with guests, encouraging loyalty and positive word-of-mouth. 🌟 #Storybranding #Storydoing #HotelSuccess

#Week1 The memorable guest experiences is one of the important aspects for the hospitality industry. This proves the performance and the quality of services of hotels or restaurants. The following are the few ways for creating a memorable guest experience: 1) Creating a warming and welcoming atmosphere: For making a memorable guest experience, creating a warming and welcoming atmosphere is one of the steps. These can be done by arranging thoughtful decor, cozy seating areas and pleasant lighting. Astonish and gratify them with caring gestures, like welcome notes, personalized gifts and etc. These are the services which the guests recall for a long time. For example: Ritz Carlton Hotel is now worldwide known as the top hotel for the hospitality it provides. They are the one who 100% cares about the guest comfort. The guests whoever visit the hotel remain happy and are eager in visiting to that hotel again and again. 2) Offer local experiences: For the hotel businesses location is everything. In today's time the visitors want to travel to new places and experience unique cultural and natural aspects. Millennial customers are the best example. They look for locally sourced food and drink and locally made beer and wine. Sara Harrel #HOTL752 #TheArtofHospitality #HospitalityIndustry

Sometimes it's all it takes….. A quick cup of coffee for the guest who is the only one up at 6:00 am in the hotel lobby ☕️ An extra glass of champagne for the couple who are celebrating their anniversary 🥂 An extra pair of hands when a Mother is juggling her kids and luggage 🙏🏾 Hospitality is as simple as making people know someone cares. It's always the little things that can make someone's day 😌 #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 #hotelroom #events #bar #instagood

Thank you Robin Craigen for sharing your experience. Hoteliers, how would your hotel have handled this? Do you empower them to find ways to say "yes" whenever possible? This post provides a teachable moment for your next staff meeting, so consider posing the question for discussion. Here are a few solutions that seem obvious, and perhaps they will have others: - Borrow a chair from an unoccupied room and mark it "out of order." (Robin was only staying 2 nights.) If the hotel was sold out... - Offer to bring up a chair from a meeting room. If those were all needed, (seems unlikely)... - Pull a chair from a restaurant. If you don't have a restaurant or it cannot spare a chair... - Borrow a chair from the waiting room of an admin/operations office? One more thought... with more people working remotely than ever, and with the majority of guest rooms offering only one chair, I'm pretty sure this is not an unusual request, so how about just having a few extra chairs in storage?
