Ways to make your conference friendly to people of all body sizes. A list from Liz with only a little irritation: 1. Please don't use chairs with arms. 2. If you are using convention chairs that link together to make nice straight lines, you don't HAVE to link them together. 3. Have ample walking space between tables in rooms, particularly dining rooms. 4. Offer T-shirts in all sizes up to 5x. This isn't hard to do anymore. What would you add?

New owners now plan to reopen the hotel and restaurant in the next few months

Size does matter...

Creating a Unique Gastrobar Experience in The Hague – Your Insights Wanted! As a hospitality professional, I’m constantly inspired by the ever-evolving trends and the dynamic energy of the industry. Today, I want to share a project that’s especially close to my heart: a new gastrobar concept located in the vibrant city center of The Hague. The space itself is truly unique—a charming basement property. While the location comes with its challenges, it also holds incredible potential for an intimate and distinctive experience. My vision is to create a gastrobar with a classic ambiance, featuring elements like Chesterfield sofas, a warm color palette, and an inviting atmosphere that encourages connection over exceptional food and drinks. However, one of the key lessons I’ve learned in my 25 years in hospitality is the value of collaboration. The best concepts are often shaped by a diverse mix of perspectives and ideas. So, I’m reaching out to fellow professionals, creatives, and enthusiasts in the hospitality world: 👉 What makes a gastrobar truly memorable for you? 👉 Are there specific features, menu ideas, or service styles that have wowed you recently? 👉 What challenges have you faced when developing a concept in a unique space like a basement, and how did you overcome them? Whether you’re a designer, chef, mixologist, or a seasoned consultant, your insights are invaluable. I’d love to hear your tips, tricks, and advice as I refine this concept to bring something truly special to The Hague. Let’s spark a conversation and create something extraordinary together. Please share your thoughts in the comments or feel free to message me directly. I’m looking forward to hearing from you! Here’s to making 2025 a year of bold ideas and exciting new ventures. 🥂 5 Star Hospitality #HospitalityIndustry #Gastrobar #TheHague #ConceptDevelopment #ProfessionalInsights

How many times have you seen this? 🚻 Accessible washroom signage ♿️ but inaccessible... with misleading signs and missing essential features can be frustrating for people who need them. Clear and accurate signage is super important for guiding everyone to the right facilities so that everyone can use the amenities comfortably and with dignity. Next time you visit your favourite restaurant, hotel, or conference center, remember check out the signage. Did they get it right…? OR Does it clearly indicate access and there is no accessible button available? You would be surprised how many times you'll see no button. 👇 #Accessibility #UniversalDesign #Inclusivity

The perfect city Staycation: why check into a hotel just because ✨ Something that might not cross the mind of the normal person is to go to a hotel 🛏️ just like that, for no reason, even if they're from the same city. 📍 But we thought this idea was pretty great, so here are a few reasons why you should pack your bags and check into a hotel, even if only for a day: ⭐️ No cleaning, no tidying up—just relax. No need to tackle all the household chores after work. Just turn on the TV, dive into the comfy bed, and enjoy your evening. ⭐️ Wondering what to have for dinner isn’t a puzzle! Kitchen59, for example, has the Talents restaurant with a rich menu. No need to shop, cook, or clean up after. Enjoy your evening as if you’re a guest. ⭐️ A bar just a minute away – after work, you can enjoy one or two (or three…) drinks with a sunset view, without worrying about traffic afterward. Your room is just a few floors down. Not such a strange idea anymore, right? Try it now! ✨ : https://kitchen59.bg
