¿Qué hace que un espacio se acerque a la excelencia? En este vídeo comparto 9 principios de interiorismo que he aprendido tras casi 20 años diseñando viviendas y proyectos de interiorismo. Hablamos de luz, color, escala, materiales, naturaleza y decisiones que transforman un espacio más allá de las tendencias. No son reglas para decorar mejor, sino criterios para diseñar interiores que se sientan coherentes, funcionales y profundamente personales. Estos principios nacen de la experiencia, de la observación y de años analizando qué tienen en común esos proyectos que realmente dejan huella. Si trabajas en diseño de interiores, arquitectura o simplemente quieres entender mejor tu hogar, espero que encuentres aquí ideas útiles para mirar los espacios de otra manera. Y ahora tengo curiosidad por conocer tu opinión: ¿cuál sería tu regla número 10? Suscríbete si te interesan el interiorismo, la cultura visual y el diseño con intención. Gracias por pasarte por aquí. MP    Un poco sobre mí... Soy Ingeniera de la Edificación y diseñadora de interiores, me he especializado en proyectos de alta gama. Con 15 años de experiencia en la industria del diseño, he tenido el privilegio de colaborar con una amplia gama de clientes, incluyendo promotores, constructores, agentes de la propiedad inmobiliaria, empresarios y clientes privados. He completado con éxito más de 25 proyectos en siete países diferentes (España, Reino Unido, Bahréin, India, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, y Suiza) y he tenido el placer de trabajar con clientes de 11 nacionalidades. Mi proyecto de más valía hasta la fecha supera los 50 millones de libras, y uno de mis logros más destacados fue el diseño de una promoción de 16 apartamentos, donde el ático se posicionó con un récord histórico como el piso de un dormitorio mejor pagado por metro cuadrado en la historia de Westminster, Londres. Actualmente vivo en Londres y continúo trabajando en múltiples proyectos locales e internacionales. Aprovechando las capacidades del mundo digital, he producido y lanzado este podcast, "Atelier Prada", donde, de manera distendida y coloquial, abordo diferentes temas del mundo del interior con el objetivo de compartir parte del conocimiento que he adquirido durante estos años cada semana.  Para obtener más inspiración en diseño de interiores   www.miriamprada.com https://miriamprada.com/podcasts/ https://www.youtube.com/@miriamprada https://www.instagram.com/bymiriamprada/  https://www.tiktok.com/@bymiriamprada    Aviso legal: Nadie patrocina este PODCAST.

On 18 June 2022 firefighters working at the Providenciales International Airport on the Turks and Caicos Islands went on strike in protest at an unequal implementation of a pay award. The action shut down the airport and caused cancellations in domestic and international flights. Workers were due to receive their first pay increase in seven years, of 15%. But the workers complained that the increase was not being paid equally to all workers. After a few days, the airport authority issued a statement promising to review workers' salaries with the aim at implementing a new, fair grading scale.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7806/turks-and-caicos-airport-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

NYU IHIF 2026 was full of insights and thought leadership from some of the best and brightest hospitality professionals in the industry.  In this episode of the Suite Spot, you will get to hear from some of the most influential and biggest names in hospitality in the exclusive interviews we were able to cover at the event.  NYU IHIF is the epicentre of hospitality brands, capital, and fast-paced dealmaking – opportunity moves fast, and so should you. This is where the rebound takes shape, where leaders uncover what's next, and where relationships turn into real transactions. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in, and we check out what’s trending in hotel marketing. I’m your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of the Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree and VP of Marketing here at Travel Media Group. Cassady Quintana: And I’m Cassady Quintana, Brand Ambassador here at TMG. Ryan Embree: And today we are fresh back from NYU IHIF 2026. My second time in attending this incredible event. Cassady, your first, what were your thoughts? Cassady Quintana: Yeah, I thought overall was a great event. A lot of optimism, especially as we’re heading into the summer season. So I thought, you know, the conversations that we heard on the panels and the ones that we were having with people were awesome, and a lot of you know, good things coming out of that. I feel like the biggest topics that I heard, there were three major takeaways I took from a lot of the panels and people we were talking to, but one being that K-shape economy that we’ve heard a lot about, right? We know that luxury is still outperforming while economy segments are feeling a little bit more of that pressure especially as we head into this summer season and looking at some of those trends. And then I think one of the biggest topics we have been talking about since the beginning of this year is the World Cup and how international travel we thought was gonna be booming. We were expecting a lot of busy hotels, but it’s kind of been on the softer side, and we’ve actually seen international travel dip a bit. So I think right now we’re kind of in that wait and see period of maybe you know people are waiting to see if their teams make it out of the group stages and then they’ll plan on booking a hotel. So keeping an eye on kind of that last minute travel. But the biggest topic that we were talking about a little bit last year, but the biggest one this year is AI and how hotels are using that within their systems. You know, there’s a lot of trends around using that for more personalization and being able to use it to look at your, you know, revenue optimization and how you’re performing online. So finding ways that we can use AI that doesn’t take the hospitality out of hospitality and doesn’t replace that human element. But that kind of went with that overarching theme of the entire event, which was sharpening the edge. So the thing I took from that is that the hotels that are really gonna win are the ones that are understanding their guests and using AI to further that, to further get to know their guests, to make that experience a little bit better. Ryan Embree: You know, and we had some incredible conversations and interviews with some professionals that we’re gonna share here in a second. But just to kind of jump on what Cassidy’s saying, we’re at a really cool inflection point in our industry right now as we go gear towards the busy travel season. So it’ll be interesting to see, you know, we had the opportunity to meet with development person from Minor hotels who’s looking to bring their brand into US and Canada, which will be very interesting. We know how they have a huge global footprint, a lot of interest early on in getting into the Americas. Uh, we then visited with AHLA and Kevin Carey and his team doing such wonderful work over there advocacy for our industry and some really cool initiatives that we were able to sit down with Kevin for a few minutes and chat about, uh, Jan Freitag from STR our hotel Data North Star and compass. They just released a revised forecast for the hospitality industry. So we went over some major points of that revised forecast and finally we got the opportunity to sit down with president and CEO Best Western Larry Cuculic. What a wonderful conversation about the best Western brand and how they are implementing, um, some of that AI and technology into their brand, and capitalizing on not only the World Cup, but also America 250. So wonderful insights that you’re only gonna find here on the sweet spot. Thank you for joining us. We hope you enjoy these exclusive interviews from NYU IHIF 2026. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Sweet Spot. We are live on location at NYU IHIF 2026 here with Genna, the VP of US and Canada Development for Minor Hotels. Genna, thank you so much for taking the time to stop and the busy big apple and talk with us today. Genna Panagopoulos: Thanks for having me. Ryan Embree: Excited about, this show. A lot of energy, a lot of buzz. You know, when you come to an NYU talking to ownerships, a lot of capital here, what are the conversation kind of stem around, and what does a successful NYU show look like as you head back to your home base? Sure. Genna Panagopoulos: Successful NYU would really be finding some deals, perpetuating some deals. So hopefully advancing some opportunities and it’s really all about for right now because we’re relatively new into the region. Educating our owners and the, the broader development community. So, you know, some of, some of the players do already know us, but in the luxury space, but there’s a lot of people we gotta get out in front of and introduce Minor hotels to. Ryan Embree: And this is a great place and, obviously a great city to do that in. What has been kind of the feedback? I mean, you’ve been tasked with this enormous job. We have such a great brand, worldwide, you’re bringing it here to us, Canada, and North America. What have been some of those initial conversations and hearing that and initial interest and feedback from owners? Genna Panagopoulos: Yeah, we’ve had a lot of feedback and interest on Anantara. So some of our, you know, established luxury brands that are pretty well known when you know the luxury hotel space in a global environment. Sure. So those owners have actually come to us saying, we’re really excited about the opportunities here. So that’s one piece. Of course we have NH Hotels, NH collection, and NH, which are very well known brands, especially in Mediterranean, Europe. Yeah. And, Central and South America. So there’s excitement around that too. Ryan Embree: Does it help, I mean, having such an international brand, we got the World Cup here, right? In a couple months. You kind of using that as maybe some momentum as you kind of come into, and introduce this brand into the Americas. Genna Panagopoulos: Absolutely. There’s a lot of, you know, I’m also educating Minor of the markets we wanna be in and so that’s definitely helping as well and putting some places on the map. Ryan Embree: And let’s talk about that because there’s been some announced projects already right here actually in New York. Talk about that project a little bit. Genna Panagopoulos: Yes. Thanks for asking too. We have a Worsely Hotel that’s opening, here next year. It’s gonna be super exciting because Worsely is a restaurant brand that we are taking into the hotel space. So it’s the first of its kind and nowhere better than to start in New York comes from London. So there’s a lot of correlation between the two markets. Ryan Embree: One of a kind hospitality venue and a one of a kind city, so. Exactly. But another project we’re really excited about just ’cause we’re home based, obviously in Orlando right down the road, a bright line away in Miami. Talk to us a little bit about that project and how that’s different. Yeah, Genna Panagopoulos: It’s a high rise building built in Miami. Hasn’t started construction yet, but it’ll open in 2030. It’ll be an Anantara hotel with branded residences, both private branded residences and, um, ones that will be able to be rented to hotel guests as well. Super wellness oriented. There’s gonna be a really extensive spa. Right. Very experiential. Wonderful for the residents that are gonna be buying, the residence. Ryan Embree: It’s incredible. It sounds like you guys are really taking care of all of the kind of popular travel trends right now. Right. FMB has really had this resurgence in hospitality with the project here. Wellness, obviously a huge piece of what hospitality is leaning into and what travelers are looking forward to. So having that flexibility between the brands too, I’m sure is a definitely a fun place to be when having these conversations with owners. But you talked about another project in Turks and Caicos. Genna Panagopoulos: Turks and Caicos. So we have an Anantara in Turks and Caicos that I believe will open in 2029. So in order we’ll have one in New York next year, and then 29 on Ontario trips and Caicos 2030, Miami. Ryan Embree: So no shortage of news on the Minor Hotel side. Congratulations to you and your team. Thank you. As you wrap up, I mean, what’s your vision? What’s your goal? As you bring Minor Hotels into the North American region? Genna Panagopoulos: Yeah. Well, if I think about next year at NYU, I hope people, more people are coming towards us. Excited about us being a different brand a different mindset. So we offer, we think of ourselves a little bit differently from the parent brands that are already established here because we have, you know, ownership still of most of our portfolio or we lease most of our portfolio. Um, so I hope there’s more inbound traffic coming towards my way. I hope people generally just walking down the street know us a little bit more. Certainly. You know, white Lotus helped us with Anantara, so there’s a lot of people who Oh, yes, are are diehard Anantara fans because of that. But that’s what I’m hoping for. And eventually we’d love to have an office here. So as long as we do our, our, our work, right, we, we get a strong pipeline, we’ll be able to have an office, a regional office in, in North America. Ryan Embree: Incredible. Well, super exciting. Can’t wait to catch up on all the exciting projects that you have at Minor Hotels. This is the first of a couple collaborations we’ll be doing with Minor hotels, so make sure you stay tuned. Congratulations again, Genna. And thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. Genna Panagopoulos: Thanks for having me. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. We are live on location, New York City at NYU IHIF. I’m here with Kevin Carey, President and CEO of the AHLA Foundation and COO of AHLA. Kevin, not your first time on the Suite Spot. Appreciate you taking some time and joining me here today. Kevin Carey: It’s lways a pleasure to spend time with you. Ryan Embree: Yeah, it’s fun.Incredible event so far. NYU obviously AHLA, AHLA Foundation Forward has a huge presence here. What does, you know, when you come to the event like this, we always talk in hospitality, these events are always going to exist no matter what. Technology comes down the pike because hospitality, we’re people, right. We like connecting. What is a successful NYU IHIF look like for you and your team? Kevin Carey: Well, It’s always an important period of time in the year at, as we approach midyear to check in with our members, to have that conversation about the advocacy issues we’re leading on behalf of the industry to hear how the business performance is tracking as well. And just to build enthusiasm and engagement for the events and the initiatives that we’re leading, not only in the association, but with the foundation as well. Ryan Embree: And none more important than the No Room for Trafficking initiative that you and your team have done some fabulous work on. I mean, we have all sorts of brands up on stage, sometimes with differing opinions here and there, but one cause that everyone in our industry has really gotten behind, and it’s the work of you and your team, is this No Room for Rrafficking? We always like to spread awareness of this. Talk to us a little about, about on that front and the progress you’re seeing and making. Kevin Carey: Well, this is a longstanding commitment that the industry has to human trafficking prevention and awareness. It started in 2019 with the development of the No Room For Trafficking Initiative and its focus on training and expanded in 2022 to include the Survivor Fund. So this is an area where AHLA and the foundation specifically serves as a convening entity to bring the industry together to rally around this important issue to work, to build awareness that’ll drive prevention of human trafficking, and also to gather funds to help support survivors. So this is a commitment not only on a longstanding basis, but also on a going forward basis as well. Ryan Embree: And such inspiring stories that you’ve told over the years. And people, you know, hoteliers and other people listening to this can really get behind and encourage people to kinda look at that initiative. Another kind of initiative that you’ve done in these events that, when we’re talking about these events is forward. We had a record breaking attendance a couple months ago in the spring. Talk to us about how that is. And you actually have some of those the forward initiatives here at NYU. Kevin Carey: We do within the foundation, our mission is to advance the workforce of the industry. And we do that through a focus not only on the current workforce, those over 2 million associates and colleagues who deliver hospitality day to day, but also how do we attract the future workforce to the industry. I talked about being a convening entity. The foundation brings together the industry across all segments. And there’s two areas where we believe we can make a difference. One is around human trafficking that we just spoke about, but also around the forward initiative which is geared towards, and its purposes to advance women in the hospitality industry and in leadership roles in the hospitality industry. So we were delighted to host our most recent forward conference in Atlanta, back in April. And the results were outstanding but really the momentum and the impact that that forward is having is really, which has us so enthusiastic and committed to this initiative moving forward. Ryan Embree: Yeah, that’s gotta be so cool to see industry leaders in hospitality raise their hands and want to be a part of this movement and really see the results from that. Kevin Carey: Well, it’s grown from just being a conference, that started in 2018 and had about 150 people at the first event to now over 1100 attendees. But as it as it has expanded from a conference to a leadership development curriculum. And you mentioned the forward exchange, which took place, here in New York earlier today, where it brought together over a hundred early and mid stage career and professionals of women and some men who are participating along with their peers to focus on networking and building those relationships so they can be well suited and take on roles, over time in the industry. Ryan Embree: Really cool to see. And again, probably some incredible stories coming from that over the years as the as the initiative matures. One thing that, that hospitality in general, really looking forward to, we got big summer, right? We’re usually really excited about summer is just ’cause of the travel season, kids being outta school. But this summer in particular, we’ve been looking forward to for a couple years. We got World Cup on the horizon, finally. We played just a couple miles from here and in America 250. What are you kind of hearing from hoteliers and how are AHLA really, gearing up for these big events, showcasing our industry? Kevin Carey: Well, these are really defining opportunities, for the industry to support those guests to welcome that demand, to drive the hospitality infrastructure over time. So there’s a lot of enthusiasm around the potential that that represents and as we’ve seen on stage already today the results in the first part of the year for the industry have been positive. a number of the outlooks are increasing the Revpar and ADR and other industry metrics, here with the these large events we are still waiting to see some of the demand materialize and we’re in a critical period of time right now, about 10 days out before the games to see that hopefully what’ll be a late surge in bookings, then translate into further business success for the industry. Ryan Embree: Yeah. Hopefully, and hopefully see that international travel continue to come back to North America, you know, a lot of hoteliers, hoping for that. Zooming in a little bit on a AHLA summertime, also time for interns, right. Come in and we’ve talked about this before. I mean, internships, mentorship in hospitality. So critical. I mean, throughout the years we’ve had these staffing shortages and we’ve talked about getting creative, our industry, getting creative on ways to fill those roles, internships being one of them. Talk about a little bit about the AHLA internship program and what these interns are are ready for this summer. Kevin Carey: Well, it’s not new. We’ve had a well established program from a number of years now. And, and we’re excited annually to bring a number of interns into our team across each function. we’ll have an interns in the government affairs team, in marketing, in the foundation. it’s so refreshing to engage them in our work to see their enthusiasm about their future to see them pick up valuable skills and experience of being in an office environment, learning more. And you know what? They, they have a real impact. They have some fun along the way as well and we have a wonderful session at the end where they get to present the results of some of the work in the initiatives that they’ve been working on. So it’s an annual opportunity that we look very forward to. And they’ll be starting just in about a week’s time. so it’ll be a great another repeatevent for us. Ryan Embree: Yeah. Love to see it. You know, again, any way that we can have more exposure to all sides of hospitality. Beause as we know, it’s not just, you know, the front desk. There’s so many elements to it and there’s none more demonstrated by how big our hospitality industry is than by the hospitality show that you put on. And this year is gonna be right in our backyard. In Miami, Florida. Get us a little bit excited about what we can expect at this year’s fourth annual. This is our fourth Hospitality Show, correct? Kevin Carey: So we started in Vegas, went to San Antonio, we’re in Denver last year. A lot of enthusiasm coming out of Denver for the content. And then what’s unique about the hospitality show is it’s really the only conference in the industry with a focus on operations and how operations is driving profitability. So there’s a terrific enthusiasm and people are looking forward to being in Miami, coming together in Q4, all segments of the industry represented. So we’ll have the brands we’ll have management companies, owners, service providers, suppliers, independent hotels also play an important role in the industry. So we’re about to open registration and that’ll really kickstart, the focus on November 2-4 in Miami. Ryan Embree: Well we’re looking forward to it. We’re hoping to go 4/4 on covering the hospitality show. Especially with it being right there in our backyard. Kevin, we know you’re busy. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today on some of these important initiatives. And hopefully we’ll see you in Miami in just a few months. Kevin Carey: Hopefully I have something else on. Ryan Embree: Alright. Appreciate it. Thanks. Kevin Carey: Thank you so much. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone. Ryan Embree. here live at NYU IHIF 2026 here with Jan the National Director of Hospitality Analytics at CoStar. Jan, you were just on a panel. Thanks for taking the time to jump off and speak with us. Jan Freitag: Absolutely. Ryan Embree: State of the state, love the name obviously you’re the north star of hospitality data out there. Jan, revised forecasts just came out. Talk to us a little bit about those points that you were sharing with the audience today. Jan Freitag: So we’re suggesting that RevPAR this year is gonna grow 2.8%, which is very different from the way we looked at the world at the ALIS Hotel Investment Conference. First quarter performance was much more stronger than we had expected than the public traded companies had expected the brands or the …. And a lot of them have revised their year end forecast up. So, you know, we followed suit. Now they, most of them just revised their forecast by the outperformance of Q1. But we’re suggesting No, no, there’s momentum. So we actually took our forecast up by a lot more to 2.8%, 2% driven by ADR and 0.8 by occupancy, which is really good to see. ’cause it implies that demand is outpacing supply. You know, so we get occupancy gains and then some pricing power. Ryan Embree: Love to see that. I mean we were here a year ago with Amanda who is talking about trying to decipher through the noise, a lot of noise right now. But great to see the momentum with those revisions and so important to have those revisions because the landscape can change ever so rapidly as you know. But talking about the supply, talk to us a little bit, go into a little bit more in depth and then obviously every market is different. What markets right now are running a little bit hot on supply? Jan Freitag: Yeah, so fational forecast for Supply goes to 0.4%, not a whole lot. Right. The long run average is 1.6, so we’re well below that. The number of rooms in construction used to be between, we know, 150,000 – 160,000. It’s now 140,000. So it’s sort of staying there. It’s just so expensive to get anything done. And interest rates are still high and could go higher. Who knows, we’re not making interest rate forecast. But you know, there’s definitely no longer this idea of how we should cut, you know, interest rates twice this year or so. I think those days are gone, you know, and so now the question is, okay, so where are people getting things done? And you can look at it by markets. So a couple of them are usual suspects. So Nashville, very strong, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Phoenix. So those are markets sort of in the smile states, sort of in the Sunbelt that still get a lot of people moving there. And you know, migration determines the economic performance. And so we’re seeing a lot more room supply growth there, but there’re just a lot of markets where it’s very, very hard to get anything done because of that higher cost of construction and of the higher interest rate. So I would single out those markets, but overall the picture is rather muted. On the supply side. So what that means then, for existing owners is the time to renovate is right now percent. Because you want to be the new kid on the block with the new hotel, there’s not a lot of new competition coming. This is time to renovate and really put your best foot forward. Ryan Embree: A hundred percent. And you know, one of the other topics we talked about, or you talked about rather on stage was segments right now luxury, doing very, very well leading the way. Obviously a lot of bifurcation, that K-shaped economy. What are you seeing across the segments right now? Jan Freitag: Yeah, I mean there are no wrong answers in luxury, right? I mean, luxury last year was the winner. This year is the winner. We’re projecting, very healthy RevPAR growth double of what we’re saying for the nation. We think the luxury class can materialize. And then what’s really nice to see is that for upscale upper midscale midscale, there’s also RevPAR growth there, which we hadn’t seen last year. And to me that speaks to the strength really of the American economy. But it sort of permeates toward all income classes. Now the exception is was and unfortunately will be likely the economy sector now even there we’re suggesting RevPAR’s growing, but it’s just, you know, 0.8% call that flat for all intent and purposes. Ryan Embree: International travel too, obviously World Cup on the heels of this. What are you see any interesting data points there you wanna share just right ahead of the America 250 and World Cup? Jan Freitag: There are two very different vibes coming from the panel that I was on. Adam Sacks prior to US presenting was talking about, oh wow, international inbound is really still quite a bit lower than it was in 2019. But the gentleman from the NTTO, the National Travel Tourism Organization was like, no, we’re projecting rock and roll, really strong growth of international inbound. The truth is probably gonna somewhere in the tween this year. World Cup is gonna drive a lot of international travelers. What I’m wondering about though is are some of those travelers basically stealing from 2025 and from 2027 and now they’re saying, oh, let’s not go in 25, let’s go in 26. And then when next year comes around, they’re like, we just went to the us you know, and not go in 27 either. So I just hope that the more positive spin from the government comes true and this and, and not that we’re just sort of packing everything into this year and then international inbound is gonna deteriorate. Ryan Embree: So many interesting data points. Anyone in particular you have your eyes on where, you know, obviously we love a nice rosy outlook and try to look for opportunities through all of the data that’s out there, but anyone’s that are like unexpected data points or something that you’re at least keeping an eye on right now? Jan Freitag: Yeah, so there are a couple, but the one that I’m really focused on is consumer price index. Everything is getting more expensive and so that means that hotels will see their cost increase. And the big question then is how much of that cost increase can they pass on to the customer? And I just told you that our ADR forecast for this year is 2% and inflation is gonna be what, 3.5 or something? I mean, it’s gonna be much more than that outpacing that. So that’s really the crux and I think that’s what we here at NYU, to talk to owners and investors and management companies have figure out, okay, so how can we keep our margins expanding even maybe how do you do that in this environment where top line growth may be not keeping pace with with inflation. So the CPI number is really something I’m keeping an eye on. Ryan Embree: Yeah, pretty challenging time right now. when it comes to margins and hospitality that we, again, trying to suss out and figure out here, what are those maybe opportunistic data points that you’re seeing that you’re saying this, this is really good, maybe unexpected on the other end of the spectrum? Jan Freitag: Yeah, I think the Americans are wealthier than they ever have been. And Adam Sachs has this fascinating data point where he shows at the emerge that the middle class in America is shrinking, but part of it is because a lot more people are rich. So people are moving up the income chain and that allows ’em then to spend more money on experiences, very clear that people favor experiences over goods. And we are right in that Suite Spot. Ryan Embree: That continues to be the experience over stuff. We love to see that. And then you’re kind of here celebrating an anniversary/birthday of your podcast, is it? You know you’re, you’re usually, typically used to be in the host, not so much the guests, so thank you. Tell us a little bit more and maybe where our hotel audience can find the insights that you provide. Jan Freitag: Yeah, and thank you for having me. So we have our own podcast. My colleague Isaac Collazo from STR and myself get together once a month. It’s called Tell Me More, A Hospitality Data podcast. And three years ago at juniors across the street over cheesecake, we sort of hatched the idea. And so now we’re, I don’t know, like, you know, almost 30 episodes into it. And we get together once a month and we just sort of riff on the data and hopefully you can join us. Ryan Embree: I love it. That’s awesome. Well, Jan, thank you so much. Very busy time. Appreciate you stopping by and talking to us. Jan Freitag: My pleasure. Thank you so much. Ryan Embree: Alright. Hello everyone. Ryan Embree here with the Suite Spot. We are live at NYU IHIF 2026 here with Larry Cuculic, President and CEO of BWH Hotels. Larry, thank you so much for taking time outta your busy schedule to join us here on the Suite Spot. Larry Cuculic: It’s my absolute pleasure. Thank you for the invitation and for allowing me to share some thoughts with regard to the success and BWH hotels. Ryan Embree: Yeah. We’ve got a lot to cover cause you’ve got a lot going on right now. But let’s start with this event, right? NYU IHIF, lot of major brands here what does a successful NYU look like for you and your team? Larry Cuculic: To us, a successful NYU is interacting with developers and investors such that they’re aware of what BWH has become. We’re now 18 brands, over 4,000 hotels in over a hundred countries and territories from premium economy up to luxury hotels. We acquired world hotels about six years ago. And so it really is continuing to educate about the possibilities of their associating with BWH hotels because we would be singularly focused on their success if they partner with us. And you’re also in a powerhouse panel tomorrow, the Executive Exchange Hospitality Performance Strategies for Success give our audience a little bit a sneak peek of what you’re gonna be talking about on stage. Larry Cuculic: Well, we’re gonna be talking about of course, the economy near term as well as long term projections for what that looks like. we’ll be talking about the importance of loyalty programs. We’ll be talking about the impact of really the economy and things like labor insurance and how we as brands need to focus on the success of our hotels by offering them programs to really offset that impact on net RevPAR. Ryan Embree: And I’m sure one of the subjects and topics that we brought up on your panel, certainly something we talk about these hospitality events is, AI and technology. And we had the privilege of having SVP and your CTO Bill Ryan on at the Hospitality Show a couple months in October, gave us a little bit of lay of the land when it came to AI and technology. How do you feel personally that this technology is really changing the way that travelers choose hotels, but also how they have their hotel experience, their guest experience? Larry Cuculic: Sure. So the first thing we’re doing is we’re reinvesting in our .com as well as our app. And we want them to be easy to use intuitive, but we also wanna make sure they have content that convinces guests when they’re shopping that our hotels will provide them kind of that customization and personalization. ’cause it’s not about a commodity, a hotel room, it’s about all those things that we can offer. By way of example we’re partnering with an AI agency to kind of harvest content with regard to where our hotels are located in those communities. At the same time, we’ll take that harvested content and we’ll filter it through our hoteliers who live in those communities and create the content that will be the AI answer when somebody’s looking for a place to stay. And they’ll know that we want them to have the best possible time while we’re in that community, not just staying with us as a hotel, that we recognize that people don’t want just to stay, they want really a journey. Ryan Embree: Yeah. Something that we aspire in hospitality to provide that not just a hotel stay, but an experience. And we talked to Joelle Park about the power of storytelling and how that can play a component in one of the best stories, obviously that you just had a really exciting announcement with is America 250 and the story of this great nation. So talk to us a little bit about that partnership and what BWH Hotels is doing with America 250. Larry Cuculic: Well, we are a sponsor of America 250, and we’re encouraging our hoteliers to embrace the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation. And part of that is not just USA 250, we also have the 100th anniversary of Route 66. We have hotels that have been with us, believe it or not, we have a hotel that’s been with us 75 years. And it speaks to the heritage of our brand. So we’ll be leaning into the history of this great country. At the same time we’ll be leaning into the history of our great brand and encouraging people to travel and see the United States and all that it has to offer no matter where you go. And the beauty of our hotels we have 2200 of them in North America and wherever they’re going to go, we want them to know that we have a hotel that will meet their travel leads such that they can experience really the 250th anniversary of USA. Ryan Embree: Yeah. It’s a really exciting partnership right in at an inflection point with the World Cup as well. So introducing maybe some international travel also to the brand and the nation. You know, you’re a great following on LinkedIn. I encourage our audience, if you haven’t, make sure you follow Larry, but one of the things you’re reflecting on your North American regional conferences that you’ve done up to this point in 2026 and you quoted to say that you want BWH hotels to become the most welcoming brand in the world. What does that mean to you and how is your team working to achieve that? Larry Cuculic: Well, welcoming means that we’re gracious hosts, but it also means that we’re, I’ll call it easy to do business with understanding, being flexible and recognizing that we are somebody you’d want to be partners with. Whenever anyone walks into a hotel we should tell them, you know, welcome, we’re glad you’re here by way of example. But I used to think of it that way in terms of being gracious host and everything that happens at the hotel, but when I think of welcoming, I also want to think about our new.com and app. Again, it’s that ease of use and personalization so that when you go there, we know it’s you and we want to help you make good decisions with regard to travel. So welcoming is about ease of.com, the app we’re redoing our loyalty program. I think Joel probably talked to you about that. And we want the loyalty program to be welcoming as well. Well, what does that mean? Well, that means that when you interact with us, you’ll know how many points you have. You’ll know they never expire. You’ll know that you can use them to buy down the price of a room at any point. That you don’t have to, to have as many points for a full stay to leverage those points. It’s a value of the program. And of course welcoming. I always lean into the importance of being not just a gracious host, but somebody that appreciates our guests. To me, that’s welcoming because you have to recognize that people, they’re traveling with their families, it’s something that you wanna leave a terrific impression on them and their family. And you also want them to know that we appreciate that they’ve spent their hard-earned money staying with us. To me, that’s being appreciative gracious hosts. And that’s part of the welcoming. It’s not, the welcoming doesn’t just happen when they enter. Welcoming has to be entire stay. Ryan Embree: So key. And the brands that kind of make that connection with their travelers, especially in a time where, I mean, we just talked about in this interview AI technology, there’s way more places become disconnected, to find that connection, that human to human connection. Very important right now. So as we wrap up the interview, obviously at these events we’re always, whether it’s the hospitality data we’re looking into, whether it’s a conversation, we’re always trying to take a glimpse into the future, trying to predict that future. Larry what do you see, what’s your vision for the future of BWH Hotels. Larry Cuculic: People will always wanna travel. And for us, if we can become that welcoming brand that appreciates our guests, we will build that loyalty. When we build that loyalty, that program will grow. Our revenue delivery brand direct will grow which is the lowest cost for us in terms of that reservation for our hoteliers but what I think I would also offer to you is we’re also very focused on thoughtful growth. And what that means is if you grow your loyalty program, you also wanna make sure you have hotels that are in locations where guests want to go. Be it London, be it Rome, be it Frankfurt, be it Bangkok, no matter where it is around the world. And so, you know, we have a, a focus goal of 5,000 hotels, which means we will grow thoughtfully, but with our guests in mind. And because when we have a hotel join us, our sole focus is the success of that hotel as well as having a quality hotel where guests want to go. Ryan Embree: That’s awesome. Well, we wish you nothing but success. Hopefully maybe can join the Suite Spot when that 5,000 hotel opens and we can celebrate that together. But in the meantime, thank you, Larry, for taking the time out of your day to join us here on the Suite spot. Larry Cuculic: Well, thank you. Thank you for the opportunity. Very much appreciate it.

In this episode, we welcome Ryan Watson to the studio. He and his wife were arrested in 2024 in Turks and Caicos for having loose rounds of ammunition in their luggage. In this interview, we discuss how the rounds were accidentally in his luggage to begin with, when the ammunition was found by security on their way out of the country, when he and his wife were both arrested and told that they would be getting a 12-year minimum prison sentence, how he was able to get his wife free of the island and how that ultimately resulted in him being shackled and imprisoned, the decision to go to war economically with the island, being violently targeted while on the island, the process of trying to gain his freedom, how then-Senator Markwayne Mullin began to intervene in the process, when he finally succumbed to the reality that he would likely not see his children for their entire childhood because he would be in prison, his sentencing process, how his nine-year-old son turned this crazy situation into an opportunity to spread the Gospel, and much more.

Chelsea in Bloom transforma Londres durante unos días y convierte la ciudad en una experiencia completamente distinta. En este vídeo hablo sobre diseño, interiorismo, percepción visual y por qué algunas ciudades se viven mejor cuando dejas de intentar "verlo todo". Más allá del turismo típico, Londres tiene una capa mucho más silenciosa: calles que cambian con la luz, instalaciones florales efímeras y decisiones de diseño pensadas para emocionar, atraer y transformar cómo percibimos un espacio. En este paseo por Chelsea analizo: cómo el diseño cambia una ciudad, por qué las flores tienen un impacto emocional tan fuerte, qué podemos aprender del urbanismo temporal, y cómo todo esto se relaciona también con el interiorismo y los espacios bien diseñados. Chelsea in Bloom no va solo de flores. Va de experiencia, identidad, percepción y diseño con intención. Y quizá también de aprender a mirar las ciudades de otra manera. Si has llegado hasta aquí, me encantará leerte: ¿hay eventos parecidos donde tú vives? ¿Y cuál habría sido tu instalación favorita? Gracias por pasarte por aquí. MP   Un poco sobre mí... Soy Ingeniera de la Edificación y diseñadora de interiores, me he especializado en proyectos de alta gama. Con 15 años de experiencia en la industria del diseño, he tenido el privilegio de colaborar con una amplia gama de clientes, incluyendo promotores, constructores, agentes de la propiedad inmobiliaria, empresarios y clientes privados. He completado con éxito más de 25 proyectos en siete países diferentes (España, Reino Unido, Bahréin, India, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, y Suiza) y he tenido el placer de trabajar con clientes de 11 nacionalidades. Mi proyecto de más valía hasta la fecha supera los 50 millones de libras, y uno de mis logros más destacados fue el diseño de una promoción de 16 apartamentos, donde el ático se posicionó con un récord histórico como el piso de un dormitorio mejor pagado por metro cuadrado en la historia de Westminster, Londres. Actualmente vivo en Londres y continúo trabajando en múltiples proyectos locales e internacionales. Aprovechando las capacidades del mundo digital, he producido y lanzado este podcast, "Atelier Prada", donde, de manera distendida y coloquial, abordo diferentes temas del mundo del interior con el objetivo de compartir parte del conocimiento que he adquirido durante estos años cada semana.  Para obtener más inspiración en diseño de interiores   www.miriamprada.com https://miriamprada.com/podcasts/ https://www.youtube.com/@miriamprada https://www.instagram.com/bymiriamprada/  https://www.tiktok.com/@bymiriamprada    Aviso legal: Nadie patrocina este PODCAST.

Send us Fan MailHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast; I am delighted to welcome Josianne Jocelyn, Travel With Josianne. Josianne worked for several years for different travel agencies. Josianne told me, “I was born in Haiti. I came to the US 40 years ago. I come from a family of 6 children (like me). I lived in Brooklyn through high school. (Like me, well, through middle school). After earning a bachelor's degree, I knew working in the Travel industry is what I wanted to do.  My first trip given to me by the agency was a cruise on the Big Red Boat, and I realized that I loved cruising.  I got married and gave birth to twin girls. When I moved to New Jersey several years later, I had to work part time, because I was the one taking care of the kids.  2020 change everything. I started to watch YouTube travel videos. Someone told me I should start a YouTube channel, and I did.  I did not know how hard it would be. I have been traveling the Caribbean for years by land and sea. Celebrity and Royal are my favorite cruise lines. On Royal I have been on the Icon, Oasis, Quantum and Freedom classes. I've been cruising Celebrity for 30 years. Now I'm in love with the Edge Class. I do travel by land. My favorite Caribbean Islands to go to and spend a week with the family are Aruba, Grand Cayman, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos, and Curacao. My favorite all-inclusive is Sandals, having been to Sandals Montego Bay, Royal Caribbean, Curacao, and Regency Le Toc St Lucia.” Do you have a dream car?

Pier Paolo Alberghini has spent 30 years designing and harmonizing spaces using an ancient science that most architects have never encountered. Every building you walk into is either working for your health or quietly working against it and the difference comes down to principles the ancient Romans, Renaissance masters, and Egyptian pyramid builders all understood. Modern architecture forgot all of it in 1700. And we've been paying for it ever since.Pier Paolo is Vice President of Biogeometry for Europe and a direct student of Dr. Ibrahim Karim, the founder of biogeometry. He has designed and harmonized buildings across Toronto, Geneva, and Florence, and has presented to thousands of practitioners across seven countries. One of his most documented cases: a client diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and given 2-3 years to live survived 13 more years inside a home he and Ibrahim harmonized — a case published in a 2013 Montreal architectural magazine. He is now the lead biogeometry architect on the Casitas at Kokomo Botanical Resort in Turks and Caicos, 16 buildings designed from the ground up to emanate healing energy to everyone inside and within a 5-kilometer radius.He explains:◼️ Why every cathedral, pyramid, and ancient temple you've ever felt at peace in was built on a "power spot" — and why modern architects have no idea what that means or how to replicate it ◼️ The Parkinson's patient given 2-3 years to live who survived 13 more years inside a biogeometry-harmonized home in Toronto — and what that tells us about the spaces we're living in right now ◼️ Why 16 buildings at the golden ratio (1.618) create an energy field that heals everyone within a 5-kilometer radius — and how every single design decision at the Casitas flows from this number ◼️ The EMF truth your phone company doesn't want you thinking about: why using your phone or computer without a biosignature attachment is linked directly to long-term neurological damage ◼️ 13 things you can change in your home or office right now — starting with moving your bed and desk 40 centimeters from the walls to escape the EMF field running through them ◼️ Why sleeping under a cathedral ceiling "desiccates" you the same way a pyramid desiccates a mummy — and the one small fix that eliminates the effect entirely ◼️ How humanity lost its right-brain intuition in 1700 due to the Cartesian shift — and why Ibrahim Karim believes we are finally in the process of reclaiming it ◼️ How to find power spots anywhere in the world using pendulums available on Amazon right now — and exactly what to do once you've found oneTIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Intro 05:14 – What Is Biogeometry?

Treasure Beach Village at Beaches Turks and Caicos is transforming the family vacation experience—and it all begins with kids. No one understands this better than Fedeline Julien, Kids Programs Manager at Beaches Turks and Caicos. In this episode, she walks us through the wide range of offerings designed for children of all ages, creating engaging experiences from toddlers to teens. From gentle play and toddler-focused activities at Camp Sesame, to high-energy fun at the Pirates Island Waterpark, to dedicated hangout spaces and themed nights for tweens and teens, Beaches Resorts truly has something for every age and stage.

Among them is Butch's Island Chop House, the beloved Sandals Resorts steakhouse making its Beaches debut. Along with BRÜ, a grab-and-go café that turns into a vibrant cocktail bar by afternoon, and Pinta Food Hall, a brand-new concept that reimagines four different cuisines from smoky tacos and Asian stir-fries to an open-air Italian window and an à la carte grill. Rooted in guest feedback and a continued push for innovation, these new additions mark a notable evolution for the Beaches Resorts brand and offer a glimpse into what's ahead.

Is Beaches Turks & Caicos Treasure Beach Worth it? the new Beaches Resort Village, Treasure Beach is open and I sayed there for 4 days. Here is my full Beaches Turks Treasure Beach Review and Rating.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery There are moments in life where everything feels right. You look around and you realize the work, the sacrifice, and the discipline have created something meaningful. But then something small happens and your mind begins to drift. Fear shows up. Doubt creeps in. Anxiety begins whispering questions that were never there before. I had one of those weeks. It was a roller coaster of emotion. The highest appreciation for the life I have built and then suddenly a wave of fear and doubt. And it reminded me of something that every one of us needs to understand if we want to lead our lives with clarity and strength. A moment in time does not define who you are. Understanding a Moment in Time A moment in time is simply a temporary emotional or mental state that appears in response to circumstances. It is a snapshot. It is not your identity. We experience pressure. We experience success. We experience fear. We experience uncertainty. But those feelings are simply information from our mind and body about what is happening around us. What truly matters is not the moment itself. What matters is how we respond. This realization came to me while I was on vacation with my family in Turks and Caicos. I was sitting on the beach in deep appreciation for everything that had been created in my life. My daughter had just turned seventeen. My other daughter was in Spain. I felt grateful for the journey that had brought us there. And then my mind traveled backward. I began thinking about who I was at seventeen years old. That thought took me back to a moment in my life when I was fighting for my life. I went from appreciation to pain in seconds simply because my mind chose to revisit a story from the past. And I had to stop myself. Why was I leaving a moment of gratitude to relive something that I had already overcome? The answer was simple. My mind was trying to create contrast. It was trying to bring balance to a moment that felt almost too good. But the truth is that we do not have to stay there. Bringing Yourself Back to the Present After that moment I reminded myself of something powerful. I am here now. That phrase changes everything. It reminds us that the past does not control us unless we allow it to. It reminds us that our current circumstances are the only place where we have the power to act. And this lesson showed up again when I returned home. We discovered that one of our dogs was struggling to breathe. We rushed him to the animal hospital and the doctors discovered that his lung had started leaking air. It had happened spontaneously. There was no clear reason. Suddenly the emotional shift happened again. The cost of the treatment was high. My mind immediately started replaying every financial decision I had made recently. The trip. The investments in the business. The new building. The furniture we were ordering. I began questioning everything. But then I caught myself. Instead of going down that road I asked a simple question. What am I going to do next? The answer was obvious. We were going to take care of the problem. We had the resources. We had worked for those resources. There was no reason to sit in fear when the solution was already clear. That was the moment I said something that changed my mindset completely. Thank you God. It was easy to say those words when I was sitting on the beach feeling grateful. But it mattered even more to say them when things became challenging. Because gratitude should not only exist in moments of success. Gratitude must also exist in moments of pressure. The Story We Tell Ourselves Many of the struggles we experience come from the stories we create in our own minds. One moment becomes a narrative. That narrative becomes part of our identity. And before we know it we start believing something about ourselves that is simply not true. I see this happen all the time with people who step away from their goals. Someone stops showing up for a while. They stop posting content. They stop attending meetings. And then they begin telling themselves that it is too late to come back. Weeks turn into months. Months turn into years. But the truth is simple. You can always say one sentence. I am here now. That is all it takes to reset your path. Challenging the Thoughts of Yesterday Years ago in March of 2020 I wrote a journal entry during a very difficult period in my life. There was fear. There was frustration. There was anxiety about the future of the business and the direction we were heading. I questioned myself. I questioned my leadership. I questioned my ability to navigate the challenges we were facing. But in that journal entry I asked myself one powerful question. What would happen if you were free of these thoughts? The answer became my instruction. I would be confident. I would focus on the journey. I would execute. I would love my life. I would stay present with my family. That moment in time did not define my character. It was simply feedback about where my mind had wandered. Since that moment our organization has grown tremendously. Our brokerage has more than doubled. Our agents are producing at levels that we once only imagined. But the most important realization is this. The same thoughts still show up from time to time. The difference now is that I recognize them quickly and I respond differently. Choosing Your Response Growth does not come from learning something new every day. Growth comes from challenging the thoughts that held you back yesterday. When fear shows up you have two options. You can allow that moment to become your identity. Or you can give yourself clear instructions on what to do next. Move forward. Execute. Trust that the work you have put in will carry you through the challenge. A moment in time does not define your life. Your response does. And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do in that moment is pause and say thank you. Thank you for the challenge. Thank you for the awareness. Thank you for the opportunity to grow. Because every moment is simply an invitation to become stronger. Reflective Questions When you experience fear or doubt, do you treat it as a defining moment or simply a temporary state? What story are you currently telling yourself that may not actually be true? What is one action you can take today that would move you forward instead of staying stuck in your thoughts? Notable Quotes "A moment in time is a snapshot of how you feel or think in that instant. It is not your identity." "I am here now." "With God I shall not fear. Without God the world controls my emotions."   Follow A.Z. Araujo on Social Media: Instagram: @azaraujo Facebook: A.Z.

Today with Danielle Darling, Senior Manager Interior Design at Sandals and Beaches Resorts, we are getting an inside look at the design of the beautiful all-new Treasure Beach Village at Beaches Turks and Caicos. From guests' very first impression when they walk into the lobby to the thoughtful details one can find throughout the resort, Danielle shares how every element is intentionally designed to create a sense of connection and wonder for families visiting the Caribbean. She takes us behind the scenes of her day-to-day role and the creative process that brings these places to life, from selecting materials, textures, and colors to designing standout spaces like the Starfish Cinema and the Chairman's Penthouse Suite. She also explains how local artisans helped infuse the spirit of Turks and Caicos into every corner of the experience. Tune in for a look into the creativity, culture, and treasure hidden within Treasure Beach Village, a shining example of Beaches 2.0.

John experiences a prime vacation in Turks and Caicos, learning that it doesn't matter what side of the street you drive on if the water is aqua blue. He also gets dunked on in karaoke by a real country singer.  

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On this episode, I talk about a conversation I had with a 72-year-old woman on the beach in Turks and Caicos that I haven't been able to stop thinking about since. She casually mentioned that she and her husband probably only have one big trip left, and it hit me in a way that no book, podcast, or motivational speech ever has. I share the realizations and practical frameworks that came from that moment — and why I think it's a reminder we all need to actually start living, not just getting through the day.
