I pitched to a hotelier the other week who wanted to outsource as much admin as he could so that his team could focus 100% on their guests. Isn’t that what hospitality should be about? Not sitting behind a keyboard all day running reports and responding to reviews. #hotels #hotelmanagement #hospitality #salesandmarketing #revenuemanagement #hospitalityindustry #travel Reviews4you - The Reputation Builders helping you turn your reviews imto revenue ✅

Important to be able to rely on the assessments of reviewers. Are they untainted by commercial arrangements? FTG inspectors make their reports available for scrutiny by equally trustworthy travel advisors. No individual advisor can review every hotel in the world. Does yours have a collegiate network of advisors "on the ground" around the world? Do they use any external reviews like those of FTG when researching for their recommendations? The best ones do. #rewardingtravel #luxurytravel

The recent The Wall Street Journal story "Should You Trust a Hotel’s Star Rating? Depends Where You Look" explores how the unregulated hotel star system causes major problems in the travel industry. Kaushik Vardharajan, who spent 20 years as a hotel consultant and is now Boston University’s real estate program director, offered a solution: "Another reliable source: the independent rating system of Forbes Travel Guide, which started as Mobil Travel Guide in 1958. This guide sends incognito inspectors to review hotels using set criteria. 'If I know [the stars] are coming from the Forbes Travel Guide or…from another source that I respect, then I have a little bit more comfort in that,'” he said.

The hospitality industry has always been and remains highly competitive. In the past, guests had limited options for reserving their vacations. Today, their choices are virtually endless, primarily through digital channels, whether directly or via third-party platforms. Differentiation is more crucial now than ever before. At Cuvée, our consistent advantage over the years has been our investment in on-site destination curators. These curators assist our guests from the moment they make a reservation, throughout their stay, and even after they leave. They have in-depth knowledge of our destinations, not from searching "the best restaurants [insert destination]" online, but because they live there and know the area intimately. Our guests say it best: "Cuvée is the gold standard--not only for offering the most beautiful and breathtaking properties, but in its impeccable service. Cuvée and its inimitable staff turned every day into a unique experience and provided memories that will last a lifetime. We can't wait to return." #hospitality #marketing #luxurytravel #luxuryvacations #travel #guestsatisfaction #curators #reservations #airbnb #vrbo #industryleader #aspen #colorado

The Hot 100 list of Ireland's best hotels for 2024 is in today's Irish Independent. From five-star flagships to budget brilliance and everything in between, it's one of our biggest travel splashes of the year. The Hot 100 is not about rigid scores or scientific comparisons. It's subjective, based on my travels, taste and experience, and one I know (and hope) you'll quibble with. It's about hotels that I think are best in their class, regardless of star ratings, and that put time and care into Irish communities, culture, food, and design. They are well-run, but not rinse-and-repeat businesses. Read the full list, discover the thinking behind it, and find our Irish Hotel Hall of Fame, here. Let me know your thoughts! #IndoHot100

🌟 In hospitality, creating a memorable guest experience is key to standing out in a competitive market. Hotels and resorts are always searching for new ways to elevate service and leave a lasting impression on their guests. One powerful approach gaining momentum is incorporating personalized touchpoints throughout the guest journey. Let’s explore how an enhanced guest service welcome can set the tone for an unforgettable stay. 🌿✨ Imagine arriving at a hotel after a long day of travel.
