  • Brands Pin Success, Goals on Finding Right Niche
    Link to Article Brands pin success, goals on finding right niche 05 JUNE 2017 8:12 AM A look back at profiles of hotel brands over the first half of 2017 reveals some similarities in strategy. (Photo illustration: Annamarie Hudson) By Audrey Peters GLOBAL REPORT—The unique components of hotel brands are what draw guests to visit and return. In a series of brand profiles over the past six months, Hotel News Now has featured those distinctive atmospheres, design elements and other characteristics of brands aimed at catering to guest demographics. Here’s a look at some that have stood out. Canyon Ranch, a hotel and wellness brand, accommodates guests seeking a space to reset their minds and bodies. While the majority of guests range in age from their 30s to mid-40s, they are generally united in the goals of their stay. "Whether (for) weight loss, or just to reset mind, body and soul, (Canyon Ranch is) a place of tranquility,” said COO Tom Klein. “Some people call it a safe haven. … They’re coming for a really transformational experience."”" Langham Hospitality Group’s Cordis brand seeks to give guests a fulfilling experience through wellness programs, wine tastings and elite programming. Combining concepts of wellness and luxury, the brand hopes to attract a “new consumer […] looking for something more fulfilling than the average amenities” by showcasing indulgence and health, Langham CEO Bob Warman said. Travelodge, which has brands in both the U.S. and U.K., is focused on attracting leisure guests with locations that invite exploration. Travelodge hopes to be “the base camp for adventure” for guests that aren’t necessarily looking to stay in a hotel, but rather are seeking a place to stop and recharge before the next parts of their trips, said Keri Putera, VP of Travelodge brand operations at Travelodge U.S.

  • Rt Hon Nicola Sturgeon MSP First Minister of Scotland the Scottish Government St Andrew’S House Regent Road Edinburgh EH1 3DG
    Rt Hon Nicola Sturgeon MSP First Minister of Scotland The Scottish Government St Andrew’s House Regent Road Edinburgh EH1 3DG Monday 30 November 2020 Dear First Minister, Covid Restrictions Unfair for Hospitality Covid-19 policy has left hospitality businesses out in the cold. The Level 4 restrictions imposed on 20 November have closed our sector down in eleven local authority areas and businesses have no certainty about what faces them after the review on 11 December. In Level 2 and Level 3 areas the restrictions are having a devastating effect on trading and are, in some instances, imposing closure on businesses that are legally permitted to remain open, not least because of travel restrictions. The relaxations announced for the Christmas period between 23-27 December may give heart to millions of Scots but bring no cheer to hard-pressed hospitality businesses that have invested heavily to provide Covid-secure, safe, welcoming venues but are denied the chance to open their doors. Nor is there much to be positive about following your comments about Hogmanay. Any beneficial change from level 4 in the Central Belt on 11 December is likely to come too late to allow businesses to capitalise on Christmas trade as they ponder what is likely to be a much quieter than normal first quarter of the year. It is simply unjust that our sector is forced to struggle under increased restrictions when there is little evidence to show that hospitality is responsible to any material extent for transmission of Covid-19 infection. Data published by Public Health England (PHE) suggests that supermarkets are likely to be the most common source in England where people are exposed to the virus followed by secondary and primary schools, hospitals, care homes, colleges, warehouses and pre-school nurseries.

  • Pricewaterhousecoopers' Fourth European Lifestyle
    Hospitality Directions Europe Edition* Issue 14 September 2006 Standing out in a crowd: PricewaterhouseCoopers’ fourth European Lifestyle Hotel Survey 2006 Sea changes in consumer lifestyles continue to drive this niche segment The lifestyle hotel sector continues to be driven by a talent for innovation, spectacle, experience and value for money. These points of differentiation give it a competitive edge and have raised the bar for the hotel sector as a whole. Their position at the forefront of contemporary design has made lifestyle hotels high-profile trendsetters with real consumer appeal - but increasingly only where their product and service are aligned with the aspirations of their target customers. Higher growth – but higher volatility – Our 2006 research into the lifestyle hotel sector ranked the top 25 European lifestyle operators. This year the top players operate a total of 141 hotels with 11,386 rooms and have seen a 5.9 per cent increase in room capacity compared to a year ago. We also analysed the performance of 60 UK lifestyle hotels, accounting for over 4,000 rooms and forecast future outlook. This analysis showed that, while subject to the general UK hotel sector trends, the performance metrics of the sample displayed greater volatility than the sector as a whole and that looking forward lifestyle hotels will continue to achieve good room rate growth giving RevPAR gains of 7 per cent this year, 4.1 per cent in 2007 and 4.8 per cent in 2008. Smaller operators still leading the way – While many larger hotel chains continue to try to emulate lifestyle hotels’ distinctive offer, we found that the real action in terms of innovation and value for money is still being driven by the smaller operators - particularly in the new, up-and- coming branded budget lifestyle segment.
