#THAinsights -3 Designing and planning the back areas of hotels is just as important as the front areas. Sometimes, in the quest to enhance and expand guest-facing areas, the back-of-house areas are either neglected or made too small. However, efficient service complements the guest experience. For instance, without a housekeeping pantry on each floor, a room attendant has to go downstairs to get a towel, causing service delays. This can make even the best hotel product seem less impressive. #Thehoteladviser #Hospitality #hotels #hotelmanagingdirectors #hotelowners #hospitalityCEO #hoteldesign #hotelarchitecture #resorts #hotelinvestors #hotelconsultant #assetmanagement

The Secrets of a Truly Exceptional Hotel. The gleaming facade, the polished lobby, the thread count of the sheets - these are the metrics we use to judge a hotel's worth. But is a high thread count enough to guarantee a blissful stay? Travelers with discerning taste know the answer is a resounding no. Step into the shadows, behind the veneer of five-star ratings and concierge pleasantries. The truth about a hotel's quality lies not in its boasts, but in the whispers. The Lobby Lullaby: Is the music a carefully curated soundscape or a poorly disguised attempt to drown out the hum of malfunctioning air conditioning? Does the lobby exude a genuine warmth, or is it a carefully staged performance of luxury? The Staff Symphony: Does the concierge orchestrate your stay with a maestro's touch, anticipating your needs before they even surface? Or is the service a cacophony of disjointed interactions and forgotten requests? The Room Rhapsody: Sure, the pictures online promised a king-sized haven. But does the reality live up to the promise? Is the room a symphony of comfort, with crisp linens and thoughtful amenities, or a discordant jumble of tired furniture and malfunctioning fixtures? The Unexplored Corners: The true test of a hotel's quality lies beyond the guest rooms and glittering restaurants. What secrets lurk in the dimly lit hallways? Is the housekeeping staff a well-oiled machine, or are there whispers of neglected corners and unchecked details? Discerning travelers know that an exceptional hotel experience is a delicate ballet. It's the seamless blend of tangible amenities and intangible whispers - the quiet efficiency, the thoughtful touches, the genuine care that goes unnoticed but leaves a lasting impression. So next time you book a hotel, look beyond the star-struck facade. Listen for the whispers, and you might just discover the hidden score that reveals a hotel's true quality. Remember, an exceptional stay isn't about the number of stars, but the symphony of small details that leave you feeling like the most important guest on the stage. https://lnkd.in/du7rmNkh

Your towels are just as important as your bed linens. The heavier the towel, the more it costs—not just to buy, but also to process. Heavier towels absorb more water, take longer to dry, and ultimately increase costs. Curious to learn more? Visit us at the Independent Hotel Show Miami in Miami Beach on September 18 at 12 PM. We're sharing tips on elevating guest experiences while optimizing housekeeping budgets.

Star Ratings Mean Better Service—Not So Fast! Let’s clear something up—just because a hotel has more stars than a Hollywood Walk of Fame does not mean you're getting better service. It's like assuming the fanciest restaurant in town makes the best burger. Spoiler alert: sometimes the no-frills diner down the street is where you’ll find the real magic. A star rating mostly reflects the hotel's amenities. Think rooftop pools, spas, and whether your bathroom has heated floors—not how quickly someone will bring you extra towels at midnight. I've seen 3-star hotels where the staff practically bends over backward to make sure you’re happy, while a 5-star property might have you feeling like you’re just another guest in the crowd. Why? Because service is about people, not perks. It comes down to the culture of the place, how well the staff is trained, and whether they actually care about your experience. A 5-star rating can guarantee you a champagne flute at check-in, but it won’t guarantee you a friendly, personalized touch. So, next time you’re booking a hotel, don’t let those stars blind you—look at the reviews, and pay attention to how people talk about the service. After all, it’s the human element that makes your stay unforgettable, not the size of the chandelier in the lobby!
