"Hotel Hell" sounds like an operator's worst nightmare. Maybe a GM's fever dream after two weeks without a day off? Or maybe just a bold new type of marketing activation? https://lnkd.in/gn25BhGH https://lnkd.in/gjEkmpmN - news article #hotels #halloween #hotelmanagement #nope

As Earth Day kicked off our week, I started thinking about how our decisions as hoteliers impact our planet. I have a wish list of initiatives that I would like to see hotels implement (with composting and excess food donations near the top). However, the first item on my list is solar: We are actively evaluating several hotel properties with VECKTA that are well suited for the addition of solar production and battery backup. We are going to reduce emissions and save money in the process! Hoteliers, have you ever installed solar panels or energy saving systems? Please share your advice, success stories and concerns. If you believe in the same mission, we can review whether your hotel is a suitable candidate.

All of these recent lifestyle hotel brand acquisitions and strategic partnerships are pretty wild to watch. Lou Zameryka and I were talking about potential lifestyle consolidation in our strategy calls last fall. Now as this continues to unfold, I'm curious what's the primary driving force. What do y'all think: a) Small hotel brands are capitulating and realizing there is a limit to their potential unit growth. b) Brand founders are ready to move on after 10+ years. c) Small lifestyle brands realize that they can't own customer loyalty and distribution in the way Marriott and Hilton can. d) Hilton is hungry and sees an opportunity to out punch its nearest competitors.
