Omni Severin Hotel’s Post

Building today for a better tomorrow . . . Picture below shows a current state of one of our guest rooms. With new year 2024 we are doing a lot of changes, and we have big goals to chase: ✔ Complete all-inclusive hotel renovation by the time Spring break starts. We want to capture as much of the room revenue as possible pushing high occupancy and ADR to its limits. I feel that with the support of Jason Nicholson, CHA, Clay Robbins, Jeremy Skinner, Anthony Eman and crew of New Look Renovations Inc we will get there on time. ✔ Watch the budget and gross operating profit. Half of our management team is new to Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach, but we are enthusiastic, open to learn new approaches and implement them. Budget watching will be critical this year. There is a hospitality industry market slack visible for quite some time and despite this we are going to end the year with a profit. #goHIRteam: Will Culpepper, Sandy Beebe, Ivana Coteat, MS, CHSP, Joshua Thomas, Anna Dresslar, Patrice Ealy and Jamie Pasour! 🤟 ✔ Spread the workload between departments, have them all accountable for their actions, decisions and goals, keep improving processes within and between them a have fun seeing what we can achieve if we work together and not against each other - Innisfree Hotels. #yeswecan #hospitality #mindset #funatwork

Great days start with interesting discussions about … 🦾 Radical innovations to embrace technology, taking over repetitive processes and allowing hospitality enthusiasts to focus on our guests. ✨ Creating an ambiance and concept with the exact fit to the location is key to both, attraction and retention rates of -again- both, our associates and our guests. 🔛 Adaption or change of the existing being crucial to the effects of climate change, todays working world and economic circumstances.

It’s the little details that make a difference! 👌 The best part of hospitality is getting the opportunity to use a bit of creativity to make a positive difference to someone’s day. I thought it was only right to leave James Smith, a little ‘Home away from home’ surprise. #hotelindustry #hotelsandresorts #hotelmarketing #hotelroom #hotellife #hotelmanagement

I've come to find that what we call "home" is really not about the place. Or the country. Or the neighborhood you find yourself in. It's about the people around you. Working in hospitality makes you see things with a different perspective. It makes you find people who feel like home. And that to me, is priceless.✨ #hospitality #foodandbeverage #home #hoteliers #hospitalityprofessionals #hospitalityindustry

What are the top U.S. cities for hoteliers?  The recent news of TPG Hotels and Resorts moving its hotel operations office right down the street from us in McKinney, TX is very exciting. This adds to the long list of hotel operators based in the Dallas market.  It reminds me of when I was early in my career trying to determine the best place to live to have a long and successful hotel career. The way we see it – NYC is #1 for hotel real estate firms DC is #1 for hotel brands Dallas has firmly taken the #1 spot for hotel operations (Aimbridge Hospitality, Remington Hospitality, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Coury Hospitality, etc.).     Did we get it wrong? Got another city for the top 3 and why? What cities would round out the top 5? Let us know what you think.  Just for fun, no prizes awarded!

New location openings are fun, but tough. New locations that are simply a transition from one valet company to another, are typically seamless and fairly straightforward. Opening up a brand new hotel provides its own set of challenges. There is a lot that goes into the planning, preparation, and execution of a new hotel opening. Finding the right leader, hiring staff, training, ordering equipment/tech/uniforms/signs, securing insurance, and getting to know the client, usually are needed within a month or two. There is a margin of accepted failure from missed opportunities within the first three months, as teams learn the property and how to think like a valet and work as a team. However, with the right leader in place, a new hotel opening can look quite the opposite. The team could look like a cohesive, professional, and customer-focused unit. That is exactly what James Birkhimer has done at the Hyatt Place St. Augustine/Vilano Beach We have only been operating at Hyatt Place for a little over three months. In that time, we have seen amazing, positive response from hotel and restaurant patrons alike. James and his team are absolutely crushing it, receiving a 9.86/10 rating from 381 surveys. On top of that, they have been claim free. That’s the Propark Mobility difference. Our leadership has decades of #luxuryhospitality experience. We do way more than just park cars, we create experiences for guests and patrons. We are an extension of our client, working in tandem with them to create and deliver stellar service. Are you getting that from your current parking operator? You should expect nothing less. #hyatt #customerexperience #hospitality

When you're continuously telling people how important it is to gather in person, to celebrate successes, to pause and plan and to enjoy some quality time with your team... it's kind of important that we listen to our own advice. This past week, the SDI Meetings & Incentives team did just that. What a week with partners, clients and friends and each other in our hometown of #Chicago. It could not be more clear how much the #experiencematters and how proud I am of this incredible team and its commitment to our clients with the very best in #incentivetravel and #destinationmeetings around the globe. Now, where we can take you?

We have exciting projects in progress: a new Holiday Inn Express, set to open its doors in Summer 2024, and a Home2 Suites & Tru by Hilton set to break ground next year.   These projects have materialized through prosperous partnerships with our current clients, leading to record-breaking profitability, streamlined operations, and peace of mind. Many of these clients turned to Structure Hospitality as their first hotel management company partner—a decision that can be daunting. Whether they were commercial investors venturing into the world of hospitality or hotel owners who sensed the potential for better performance but lacked the necessary expertise and resources, that's where Structure Hospitality stepped in.   When you choose to partner with Structure Hospitality, achieving success isn't merely a possibility; it's a guaranteed outcome. Whether you are an investor in the hotel industry, an owner/operator with untapped potential, or dissatisfied with your current management company, we encourage you to get in touch with us.
