Sharing these insightful thoughts about narrative hotels and the challenges to stand out from nowadays homogenization and mass produced boutique & lifestyle hotels. Some highlights : - Hoteliers who wants to differentiate themselves need to line up with firms that recognize a broader strategy than following trends dictated by social media algorithms - Vibewashing is real, the line between narrative and gimmick can be thin (Soho House Portland example) - A well told story helps standing out but developing them is a complicated process, not everyone want to invest in - Starting a project with a narrative help driving the guest experience by an ethos and lead the team to create the stage for the concept - Narrative hotels make travel more interesting through intellectual heft and engagement with local traditions https://lnkd.in/eaNBt9MD

MAINTAIN YOUR FOCUS AND PASSION ..... remember, perspective is entirely dependent on your starting point. Consider my journey, for instance. I began as a Key Filer at the #TorontoSheratonCentre, a hotel with 1407 rooms, where my task was simply to organize the bedroom keys behind the front desk. Fast forward 40 years, and I've opened 5 hotels, renovated and rebranded 3 others, and lived in 7 countries across 4 continents. And now, I have the honour of leading the amazing #DorianHotel team, an incredible group of passionate hospitality professionals. Has every day been wonderful? Certainly not, we all experience highs and lows. However, it's important to keep things in perspective. Take moments to reflect on your completed projects, earned certificates and positions, and the lives you've touched. It's only when you look back that you fully appreciate how far you've come. This retrospection not only reveals the magnitude of your growth but also fuels your drive to continue and to motivate others. The limits to your potential are boundless. #Marriott #Calgaryism #Passion #Leadership #Teamwork #Fun
