The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies 2016

For making hosteling hip
The company's competitive advantage in 2016:
Creative director Anwar Mekhayech, whose eclectic-sexy interior design gives the brand its heat and increasing buzz
The biggest challenges standing in this company's way in 2016:
Fending off smaller U.S. competitors (such as Freehand, which already has outposts in Chicago and Miami) while expanding into a country without a tradition of backpacking and hosteling.
What to look out for:
Generator's Stockholm and Amsterdam properties are set to open in 2016; Miami and Powder Mountain, Utah, will follow. Keep an eye out for more resort properties in the future, on beaches and in European wine destinations.
I’m the ‘Hostels’ guy, National Geographic Traveller of the Year & founder of the BudgetTraveller. I create award winning content campaigns & author of the ‘The Grand Hostels, Luxury Hostels of the World.’
