While hosting Starwood's annual conference, I talked with Raul Leal, CEO of Starwood Hotels, about differentiation through nature-led design, human experience, and AI-driven personalization that stays human.

Adam and Dr. Drew kick things off by ranting about the absurd complexity of a hotel room they recently stayed at. From figuring out the air conditioning and lights to bizarre showers and a confusing do-not-disturb system, the two wonder why simple things have become so unnecessarily difficult.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Collective excellence starts when hotel teams stop operating in separate lanes and start moving in the same direction. Glenn Haussman talks with Ben Campbell, President and CEO of Hospitality America, from **PEACHCON, the company's annual conference**, where team members come together to connect, learn and align around what comes next. Ben's focus is simple: get better today than yesterday and better tomorrow than today. That means stronger talent, stronger relationships and more value for team members, owners and guests. See what changes when a hotel company stops thinking one property at a time and starts building one organization.

A busy airport hotel never really slows down. Guests come and go at all hours, plans change quickly and the team needs to stay ready for whatever walks through the door next. Alicia Augustine, GM of the Hyatt Place Pensacola Airport, joins me on No Vacancy and explains how she keeps her team prepared. Every morning at 9:00, they meet to cover priorities, talk through what needs to happen and spend a few minutes laughing together before getting to work. That #HotelLeadership approach carries straight into the guest experience. Alicia treats her team with dignity and kindness because she expects them to give guests that same care. Her best advice for GMs might be even simpler: listen. Really listen. Hear how Alicia mixes preparation, personality and a little silliness to create a #Hotel culture that guests actually feel.

Today’s episode of Spotlight Now looks at the current state of Hawaiʻi’s economy and tourism trends. Recent state data indicating more visitors came to the islands in July but stayed for fewer days. The figures show the state lost more than one million visitor days with growth concentrated on neighbor islands, leaving Waikīkī with a lackluster summer. Carl Bonham, executive director of the University of Hawaiʻi Economic Research Organization (UHERO), sets the big picture of Hawaiʻi’s economy with U.S. visitors now accounting for more than 80% of visitor spending. Then we’re joined by Kelly Sanders of Highgate, who oversees several hospitality properties in Hawaiʻi, including ʻAlohilani Resort Waikīkī Beach. He’ll discuss what shorter stays mean for hotel workers and nearby businesses, and whether Hawaiʻi has become too expensive for target visitors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hotel operating costs keep climbing, but revenue isn't keeping pace. That's forcing operators to rethink where the money comes from. Rhiannon Reynolds, VP of Operations with Innisfree Hotels, joins me on No Vacancy from Pensacola, Florida, where we talk about how essential it is to shift from an ADR mindset to thinking about the total value of every guest. Once someone arrives, the opportunity extends well beyond the room rate. Food, drinks and other on-property experiences add revenue while giving guests more reasons to enjoy the hotel itself. That's the real opportunity: generate more #Hotel profitability while increasing guest happiness at the same time. Better experiences create more value for the guest and more value for the hotel. Hear how Innisfree approaches that win-win strategy and why the #GuestExperience plays such a big role in total revenue. Actabl gives you the power to profit. Visit Actabl.com.

Most people hear hotel conversion and picture a novelty deal. Dr. Alex Cartwright built a company around it, and the reason is arbitrage that is not subtle. His firm buys hotels that have no future as hotels. Sometimes they are old and not worth remodeling. Sometimes they are newer but stuck in a crowded market as the least desirable option. Sometimes they just carry too much debt. Whatever the story, the test is the same: is the highest and best use of this building multifamily? When the answer is yes, the multifamily price is dramatically higher than the hotel price, and the conversion unlocks the difference. The Denver project makes it concrete. A 310-room Holiday Inn sat next to Stapleton Airport until Denver built a new airport further out and the demand driver moved. Eleven stories, an atrium lobby, a balcony on every room, three underground racquetball courts. Nobody is building that again in a neighborhood of three and four story garden style apartments. Alex bought it a little under $30,000 a door and is spending $40,000 to $45,000 a unit to convert it, against comparable apartments in the mid to upper $200s. In this episode: What an end-of-life hotel is, and the three things that decide whether he enters a market at all Why a hotel is already most of an apartment building: individual bathrooms, HVAC, front doors, parking, soundproofing Which rooms get combined, and why going all studios pencils best but still is not the answer Why the due diligence period runs several months instead of weeks, and why sellers grant it The Denver numbers: under $30,000 a door in, $40,000 to $45,000 a unit of renovation, roughly $90 a door all in Why an extended stay hotel converts for $10,000 to $15,000 a room instead How lenders underwrite the deal off stabilized value, the same way they underwrite a flip off ARV What cities are actually afraid of when you ask for the rezone, and the conversation that gets them to yes The rent-burden math: more than half of rent-burdened Americans earn $45,000 to $75,000 a year Cutting a resident's housing cost by 35 to 40% without a dollar of taxpayer money Plus the Final Five, a poem called The Man in the Glass, and why you should always be looking for your next mentor.

Jeannette talks to Mark “Fish” Fisher to uncover his extraordinary journey from a 16-year-old bear mascot at Alton Towers to the boardroom as Chief Development Officer for Merlin Entertainments. Mark opens up about taking a business to a £6 billion IPO, the harsh realities of navigating global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, and the critical importance of staying fiercely authentic in rigid corporate environments. Packed with candid insights on surviving the scrutiny of public markets, managing a workforce across 24 countries, and making agonizing welfare decisions during severe economic disruptions, this conversation provides an essential roadmap for scaling a business while keeping your team grounded. You'll Learn Why: Staying authentic is a competitive advantage; corporate facades fall apart under the intense scrutiny of public markets and analysts. Building an in-house creative team drives product quality and innovation faster than relying solely on external agencies. Maintaining transparent communication and rapid decision-making across global teams protects your company culture during sudden economic stops. Transitioning from a hands-on executive to an advisory or board role requires checking your ego and trusting the talent you've nurtured. Whether you're a founder, CEO, small business owner, entrepreneur, startup leader or executive, these lessons will help you navigate massive scale and build a resilient organization.

A beachfront resort in peak season puts plenty of pressure on a hotel team. The GM of the Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach found a way to keep hers. Sandy Beebe-Osipov joins me on No Vacancy and tells me she went more than a year without hiring a housekeeper because not a single team member quit. That's a remarkable #HotelLeadership stat in a business that constantly wrestles with turnover. Her approach isn't complicated. Sandy connects with employees, runs daily huddles, sets expectations and keeps her team focused on the guests enjoying everything from the beach and lazy river to face painting and mermaid classes. Great #Hospitality starts with people who actually want to stay and deliver it. Hear why Sandy's housekeeping team stayed when so many hotel teams struggle with turnover.

Quando qualcuno ti annuncia una partenza, la risposta automatica è quasi sempre la stessa: "Buon viaggio!" È un'espressione corretta, ma piuttosto generica. In questo articolo trovi una serie di alternative più precise e naturali, organizzate per contesto e registro, per arricchire il tuo italiano in modo concreto. Le Alternative più EFFICACI a "Buon Viaggio" in Italiano 1. Alternative Universali Queste espressioni funzionano in qualsiasi contesto, formale o informale, con chiunque. "Buon Volo!" È la versione più specifica di "buon viaggio". Si usa esclusivamente quando qualcuno viaggia in aereo e dimostra che stai prestando attenzione al tipo di viaggio della persona, senza ricorrere a una formula generica. "Domani parti per Tokyo? Buon volo!" "Buon Rientro!" / "Buon Ritorno!" Attenzione: questa espressione non si usa prima della partenza, ma quando qualcuno torna a casa. È l'augurio per il viaggio di ritorno. "Buon rientro" è più comune nel parlato quotidiano, mentre "buon ritorno" ha un tono leggermente più formale o letterario. "Allora, sei stato bene a Parigi? Buon rientro!" "Vai e Torna!" Un'espressione affettuosa e diffusa in tutta Italia, rivolta a una persona cara. Il senso implicito è: "Vai pure dove devi andare, ma ricordati di tornare." È una formula breve che trasmette molto calore in poche parole. "Marco, domani parti per tre mesi? Vai e torna!" "Stammi Bene!" Un'espressione affettuosa e informale che equivale a "prenditi cura di te mentre sei via." Potresti sentire anche la variante "Statti bene!", molto usata nel parlato colloquiale, ma si tratta di una forma non standard — la versione corretta è "Stammi bene!" Per salutare più persone contemporaneamente si usa la forma plurale: "Statemi bene!" "Allora, domani parti? Stammi bene!" "Ragazzi, ci vediamo al vostro ritorno! Statemi bene!" 2. Espressioni per Contesti Specifici Il tipo di viaggio influenza la scelta dell'espressione. Ecco le principali situazioni e le formule più adatte. Per un Viaggio di Lavoro "In Bocca al Lupo per il Viaggio e per il Lavoro!" È l'espressione italiana per augurare buona fortuna, equivalente all'inglese "good luck!". La risposta corretta è "Crepi il lupo!", spesso abbreviata semplicemente in "Crepi!" Attenzione: rispondere con "grazie" è considerato di cattivo augurio nella tradizione italiana. "Domani ho il colloquio più importante della mia vita" — "In bocca al lupo!" — "Crepi!" "Spero (che) Vada Tutto Liscio!" "Liscio" letteralmente significa smooth, e "andare liscio" è un'espressione idiomatica che indica l'assenza di problemi o imprevisti. Si usa per augurare un viaggio o un impegno lavorativo senza intoppi. "Ho una presentazione importantissima a Milano..." — "Spero vada tutto liscio!" Per una Vacanza "Goditi Ogni Momento!" Un augurio personale e sincero, adatto a chi ha bisogno di staccare dalla routine. Invita la persona a vivere l'esperienza pienamente, senza pensieri. "Finalmente due settimane alle Canarie!" — "Goditi ogni momento!" "Ricarica le Batterie!" Espressione idiomatica molto usata nel parlato contemporaneo. Significa riposarsi e recuperare energia. Si usa in particolare quando la persona è stanca o stressata e ha bisogno di una pausa. "Sei stressato ultimamente..." — "Lo so, ho bisogno di vacanze!" — "Vai, ricarica le batterie!" "Buone Vacanze!" Un'alternativa diretta e universale, adatta quando si sa che la persona sarà via per più giorni. Meno personale delle precedenti, ma naturale e corretta in qualsiasi situazione. "Parto domani per la Grecia, torno tra dieci giorni!" — "Buone vacanze!" Per un Viaggio Lungo o Avventuroso "Buona Avventura!" Un augurio entusiasta, adatto a chi parte per un trekking, un viaggio zaino in spalla o un percorso impegnativo. Comunica che stai riconoscendo il valore di quello che la persona sta per fare. "Parto per sei mesi in Sud America con lo zaino in spalla!" — "Buona avventura!" "Che Sia un Viaggio Indimenticabile!" Un augurio più poetico, adatto a occasioni speciali. Non si augura solo un viaggio senza problemi, ma un'esperienza che resti nel tempo. Nota grammaticale: il verbo "sia" è il congiuntivo presente di "essere", usato qui in una frase esclamativa senza soggetto esplicito. In italiano questo tipo di costruzione è tipica degli auguri: "Che tu possa essere felice!", "Che vada tutto bene!" "Domani parto per il viaggio di nozze in Giappone!" — "Che sia un viaggio indimenticabile!" "Fai Esperienze Bellissime!" Un augurio semplice ma genuino. Sposta l'attenzione non sulla logistica del viaggio, ma sui momenti vissuti, che sono spesso la parte più memorabile. "Parto per un anno in Australia!" — "Fai esperienze bellissime!" Nota: queste espressioni possono essere combinate liberamente a seconda del contesto. Non esiste una regola rigida — più elementi insieme rendono l'augurio più ricco e personalizzato. 3. Formale vs Informale: Come Adattare gli Auguri In italiano il registro linguistico cambia a seconda dell'interlocutore. Ecco come adattare gli auguri di viaggio nelle due situazioni principali. Registro Formale (con il Capo, Clienti, Persone Poco Conosciute) EspressioneQuando usarlaEsempio"Le auguro un felice viaggio."Email formali, superiori, contesti professionali"Professore, Le auguro un felice viaggio per il convegno a Londra.""Spero che il viaggio proceda senza intoppi."Contesto lavorativo, email al capo"Gentile Dottor Rossi, spero che il viaggio proceda senza intoppi.""Le auguro un piacevole soggiorno."Hotel, strutture ricettive, contesti professionali"Benvenuto al nostro hotel, signor Bianchi. Le auguro un piacevole soggiorno." Approfondimento: nelle espressioni formali è fondamentale l'uso del "Lei" di cortesia, che indica rispetto e distanza professionale. Da notare anche il congiuntivo presente ("proceda") in "Spero che il viaggio proceda senza intoppi" — uno dei tempi verbali più caratteristici dell'italiano formale. Curiosità lessicale: "Soggiorno" in italiano ha due significati: 1) il salotto di casa, 2) la permanenza in un luogo. "Le auguro un piacevole soggiorno" fa riferimento al secondo significato e si usa sia in hotel che in contesti professionali più ampi. Registro Informale (con Amici, Familiari, Colleghi Stretti) EspressioneSignificato / UsoEsempio"Divertiti un mondo!"Significa "divertiti moltissimo". Si usa per viaggi in posti divertenti."Vado a Ibiza per una settimana!" — "Divertiti un mondo!""Mandami le foto!"Non è un augurio, ma è una formula tipicamente italiana per dire "mi interessa quello che farai.""Domani parto per New York!" — "Mandami le foto!""Non combinare guai!"Scherzosa e affettuosa, adatta solo con persone molto conosciute. Ha un tono ironico."Parto per Barcellona con gli amici!" — "Va bene, ma non combinare guai!""Fai il bravo / la brava!"Scherzosa e informale. Tra adulti ha un tono ironico e affettuoso."Sarò ad Amsterdam questo weekend!" — "Fai il bravo!""Porta qualcosa di buono da mangiare!"Non è un augurio, ma una formula tipicamente italiana che riflette il legame culturale con il cibo."Andrò in Sicilia a fine mese!" — "Porta qualcosa di buono da mangiare!" 4. Espressioni Legate al Viaggio da Usare in Conversazione Oltre agli auguri, ci sono alcune frasi che gli italiani usano comunemente quando parlano di viaggi — sia prima della partenza che al ritorno. "Hai Fatto Buon Viaggio?" / "Com'è Andato il Viaggio?" "Hai fatto buon viaggio?" è la domanda più comune al rientro di qualcuno: serve a mostrare interesse dopo un lungo tragitto. "Com'è andato il viaggio?" è una variante più aperta e colloquiale, che invita l'interlocutore a raccontare anziché rispondere con un semplice sì o no. "Finalmente sei tornato! Com'è andato il viaggio?" "Sei Arrivato/a Sano/a e Salvo/a?" Un'espressione affettuosa, equivalente all'inglese "safe and sound". Si usa soprattutto dopo un viaggio lungo o faticoso, per accertarsi che la persona sia arrivata senza problemi. Nota grammaticale: gli aggettivi "sano" e "salvo" concordano con il genere della persona — "sano e salvo" al maschile, "sana e salva" al femminile. È un aspetto importante della grammatica italiana che vale la pena ricordare. "Ciao mamma, sono tornata!" — "Meno male! Sei arrivata sana e salva?" "Il Viaggio È Stato un Incubo / un Sogno." Due espressioni figurate per descrivere un viaggio: "un incubo" per qualcosa di molto negativo (ritardi, disorganizzazione, problemi), "un sogno" per qualcosa di particolarmente piacevole e senza intoppi. "Com'è andata?" — "Il viaggio è stato un incubo: tre ore di ritardo e la valigia persa!" "Com'è andata?" — "Un sogno! Mare cristallino, cibo ottimo, nessun problema." "Ho Fatto un Viaggio della Speranza." Questa espressione ha un significato originariamente molto serio: si riferisce alle persone che emigrano in cerca di condizioni di vita migliori, spesso affrontando situazioni di pericolo. È un'espressione culturalmente importante da conoscere, anche se nell'uso quotidiano viene a volte impiegata in modo ironico — ad esempio per descrivere un viaggio particolarmente lungo e difficoltoso. "Ho Girato Mezzo Mondo!" Un'espressione iperbolica per dire che si è viaggiato molto. "Girare" in italiano significa anche visitare posti, spostarsi — e "mezzo mondo" è ovviamente un'esagerazione, usata per enfatizzare. "Quanti paesi hai visitato?" — "Tanti, ho girato mezzo mondo!"

This one was Meta AI - it's a free model and it did a pretty good job. Obviously I am not going to read that and neither will anyone else, but outside of the lack of brevity here it's a decent write up. Well done, Mark. EPISODE TITLE OPTIONSUse one as main title, others as alternates for SEO:One Nation's Immigration Muddle, 18C on Trial, and Tampa 25 Years OnFarley the Throwback, AI Bubble Warnings and the Swans Self-DestructFrom Narrandera to Norway: Immigration, Data Centres and Banning AI in SchoolsThe Two Jacks on Pauline Hanson vs 18C, the UK's Boat Camps and America's Voting MessCocaine Capital, $600 Grams in Perth and a 49ers Billionaire in a Trailer Park StingBloods Culture to Boarding School: Tampa, Tribunals and What Went Wrong at the SwansEPISODE SUMMARYEpisode 170 is a wide-ranging end-of-winter news wrap from Sydney and Hong Kong.Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack start with One Nation's confused immigration numbers - David Farley suggesting an intake not far from Labor's, Pauline Hanson unclear on net overseas migration - and ask whether vagueness matters when neither government nor opposition has a clear story either. Farley, the Narrandera-based former Labor aspirant now with One Nation, is singled out as a throwback to old Country Party-style ministers like Doug Anthony, Ian Sinclair and Peter Nixon - rural common sense and real-world experience.The conversation moves to energy and tech. The Albanese government's proposal that new data centres from mid-next year need their own water source and 100% renewable power triggers a debate about global electricity demand. Data centre consumption is projected to double from 460 TWh in 2024 to over 1000 TWh by 2030. The Jacks question small modular nuclear reactors in Australia and warn of an AI investment bubble, with 15% of the S&P 500 now AI-configured and Chinese open-source models undercutting expensive US startups.On law, they unpack Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. Context is Pauline Hanson's 2022 tweet to Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi telling her to "piss off back to Pakistan" after Faruqi's comments on Queen Elizabeth, which led to a Federal Court finding and a reported $200,000 penalty. Hanson is seeking leave to appeal to the High Court. The Jacks also discuss the White Australia Party's attempt to circumvent hate-group laws linked to the National Socialist Network and ASIO's role, and debate whether repugnant speech should be illegal.Twenty-five years on from the MV Tampa, they revisit the Howard-era response, children overboard, the excision of Christmas Island and other northern territories from the migration zone, and the legacy of mandatory detention introduced under Keating. Hong Kong Jack draws on his ten years on the Refugee Review Tribunal, including a harrowing self-harm incident during a video hearing in Woomera.Internationally: the UK's new camps for unscheduled boat arrivals after the High Court blocked the Rwanda plan, and the problematic Daily Mail reporting of gyms, football pitches and halal-only food; the US Supreme Court allowing state-based moves to restrict mail-in ballots, the stalled SAVE Act requiring birth certificates to vote and its impact on married women, and why America needs an AEC-style independent electoral commission.The Jacks note Norway banning generative AI in primary schools and restricting it in upper years after a decline in reading and writing, and pay tribute to Dolly Parton and the Dollywood Foundation's 325 million books program as a springboard into phonics vs whole-language teaching. Jack the Insider credits his mother and the Whitlam-era disadvantaged schools program for championing phonics.Court and crime: a mistrial in Pennsylvania after a juror allegedly smoked marijuana in the jury room during a murder trial; and Australia's cocaine problem in the context of the Sydney Swans hotel-room scandal. The Jacks discuss the legal risk of supply of a trafficable quantity (15 years in Victoria), self-reporting data suggesting 4% to 11% usage, 1500 possession arrests in the Eastern Suburbs, $600 a gram in Perth creating a Nullarbor business model, and the shift to crystal meth where cocaine is scarce.Sport to close: Italy's Giorgia Meloni becoming the longest-serving PM of the Italian Republic, polling 25-26% for Brothers of Italy as a buffer against the harder right; the Swans culture piece by Andrew Webster - the end of the Bloods self-sacrifice era of Kirk and Kelly, late nights at the Beach Road and Clovelly Hotels, adult entertainment in the team hotel, four-week bans, presumption of innocence, and Nick Blakey demanding a trade to North Melbourne where his father played; NRL - Roosters and Panthers as premiership threats; AFL - Carlton vs Melbourne as a clash of new game plans; cricket - England vs Pakistan at Lord's, Pakistan in disarray, Babar Azam out of form, and whether Marnus Labuschagne should tour South Africa or if he is at the "thanks for your service" stage; and finally the NFL - the San Francisco 49ers CEO caught in a police sting in East Palestine, Ohio, $140 agreed on WhatsApp, no trailer or brothel at the lot, two days jail with credit for time served and $1000 in fines and costs.Next week: listener feedback on booze and upper-middle-class parenting.SHOW NOTES - TOPICS COVEREDAustralian Politics: One Nation immigration policy split between David Farley and Pauline Hanson, net overseas migration confusion, Albanese wedge politics, Opposition property ban for temporary residents, Labor's delayed immigration announcement and refugee intake numbers.Energy and Technology: Data centres in Australia, water and renewable requirements, small-scale nuclear reactors in Russia and China, global power demand, AI bubble vs dotcom bubble, US vs Chinese AI models, S&P 500 exposure.Law and Free Speech: Section 18C - offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate, Pauline Hanson vs Mehreen Faruqi Federal Court decision, High Court leave to appeal process, White Australia Party and National Socialist Network, hate group laws, implied freedom of political communication.Immigration History: 25th anniversary of Tampa, MV Tampa and Captain, Merak and Christmas Island, children overboard, excision of Australian territories, mandatory detention, Woomera, Port Hedland, Villawood and Maribyrnong, Manus Island and Nauru costs.UK and US: UK mandatory processing centres, minibuses, no-document arrivals, security risks and Nick Radev case, Daily Mail coverage; US mail-in ballots, electoral rolls, SAVE Act, automatic voter registration in Oregon/Washington/California, gerrymandering and partisan control, Ross Perot and third-party candidates.Education and Culture: Norway AI ban, iPads in schools, national testing decline, phonics revival in Australia, Dr Seuss, John and Betty readers, Dolly Parton and literacy, scholarships for Year 7 retention.Courts and Drugs: Pennsylvania juror and devil's lettuce mistrial, field sobriety and judge's chambers process, Christian Brothers at St Pat's Ballarat, Sydney Swans scandal and allegations of indecent assault, white powder found, trafficable quantity laws, Australia as highest self-reported cocaine users, Double Bay and Waverley Local Court, cardiac risks.Sport: Swans culture, Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey trade to North Melbourne, Andrew Webster SMH column, AFL finals odds Sydney at $34, NRL Warriors Roosters Panthers, Carlton vs Melbourne injuries, England vs Pakistan second Test, Marnus Labuschagne technique and Steve Smith comparison, Ricky Ponting assessment, San Francisco 49ers CEO East Palestine sting.All timestamps below are adjusted by +25 seconds to account for theme music at the top of the episode.TIMESTAMPED HIGHLIGHTS (Adjusted +25s)00:00:25 - Open: End of winter in Sydney and the Highlands, mid-20s, bracing for a stinking hot summer.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!The Statler City Hotel, constructed in 1923 by Ellsworth Statler, stands as a testament to Buffalo's rich history. Once a beacon of luxury with its grand ballrooms and 1,100 rooms, the hotel has since closed its doors to the public. Yet, many believe that some guests have never truly left.In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Conor Hawkins to delve into the storied past of the Statler City Hotel. We explore its architectural grandeur, its significance in Buffalo's development, and the plans for its future. But perhaps most intriguingly, we uncover tales of the spirits that are said to still roam its halls. From phantom footsteps echoing in deserted corridors to apparitions glimpsed in the ballrooms, the hotel is a focal point for paranormal enthusiasts. Join us as we navigate the intersection of history and the supernatural within this iconic landmark. #HauntedHotel #BuffaloHistory #HauntedBuffalo #HistoricHauntings #GhostlyGuests #ParanormalEncounters #PhantomFootsteps #HotelGhosts #TheGraveTalks Love real ghost stories?

Hotel sales in the US are up 28% in the first half of 2026 — and a meaningful chunk of that activity is chasing bad Yelp reviews, not trophy assets. JMI Realty founder Drew Bridges joins the show to break down how his firm is using AI to source acquisition targets off terrible guest feedback. The specific deal: a Hilton Garden Inn in Austin bought for $100K per key that reviewers called "janky" and "a complete nightmare." Drew walks through the renovation math, why he's keeping the brand, and why only 184 of 789 US submarkets have outpaced CPI since 2019 — a stat that underpins his thesis that a massive basis reset is underway across the industry. Then the crew digs into Rafat Ali's latest column arguing that independent boutique brands have effectively become the outsourced R&D labs of the global flags. Graduate, Nomad, Standard International, Ace, CitizenM — all absorbed in the last two years. Edwin pushes back: maybe the right size for a great independent brand is just smaller than anyone wants to admit. Scott says 95% of what the public hotel companies do is shareholder theater. Ben says the Edition model — bring in a founder, protect the brand — is the playbook nobody's replicated. Spice of the week: Scott on Google's move toward agentic hotel booking and what it means for distribution. Zach on United's cinematic route reveal and the coming shift from performance marketing to storytelling. Ben on why the real risk isn't a failed bet — it's doing nothing in an industry full of dinosaurs. About the Guest: Drew Bridges Drew Bridges joined JMI Realty in 2011 as a Financial Analyst, where he underwrote new development, acquisition, and financing opportunities. Today he leads Investment Management for JMI's developed assets, overseeing property management, implementing capital expenditure and value enhancement strategies, and managing investor relations. A graduate of Cornell University, Mr. Bridges began his career at Archon Group in Dallas, where he worked on initiatives ranging from the acquisition of non-performing loan portfolios to the spin-off of what became Pillar Hotels and Resorts.

If we all band together, we can fix this problem!
A coffee shop knows your name, loyalty status, order and how you paid — then calls out, "Whoever ordered the Americano." That pretty much sums up where service goes wrong. Bart Berkey, keynote speaker, author of Most People Don't and former Ritz-Carlton sales leader, joins Dr. Producer Suzanne Bagnera and me on No Vacancy to talk about Humanality: using #Technology without forgetting to see the human being standing in front of us. Hotels spend fortunes on systems and personalization, yet saying someone's name, looking them in the eye and making them feel noticed costs nothing. Bart argues those small acts create a real #Hospitality advantage. Hear why more technology makes genuine human connection more valuable, not less.

The Alaskan Hotel has stood in Juneau since 1913, and the guests who ask for Room 315 by name do not always stay the night.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/AlaskanHotelREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4r83875sFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The Alaskan Triangle is already known for strange and bizarre activity – so it should be no surprise that a hotel located in the triangle might experience a few bumps in the night. (Alaskan Hotel) *** After picking up a sex worker to assault and murder, a serial killer made the mistake of underestimating the determination of his victim to stay alive… and lost his own life in the process. (The Hooker Who Stopped a Serial Killer) *** Chucky the doll isn't real. Neither were any of the dolls that came to life on shows like “The Twilight Zone” and “Outer Limits” – but that doesn't mean real haunted dolls don't exist, and it's not just “Annabelle” and “Robert” on the list. (When Haunted Dolls Attack) *** Ilse Koch was a female concentration camp guard and she was so ruthless and evil even the Na*is had her arrested. (Ilse Koch: The Witch of Buchenwald) *** They reside atop dizzying heights and are often unnoticed by human eyes but ever watchful of our movements. They have 'observed' us for centuries. We'll look at the history and purpose of gargoyles and grotesques. (In The Protection of Gargoyles) *** Outside of Washington, D.C. lies an abandoned institution with a thoroughly disturbing past. We'll look at the history and horrors of Forest Haven Mental Asylum.

Logos, slogans, jingle--they all matter, but Beauty Exec-turned-Founder Caroline Fabrigas knows that the next (and most impactful) frontier in branding is scent. Through her company Scent Marketing Inc., she's developed everything from iconic hotel scents (The 1 Hotel, Baccarat Hotel, and Auberge Resorts), to retail spaces, med spas, amusement park rides—even 20 blocks of 5th Avenue. Where money can be spent, scent can be smelled.Today we chat about scent as a means of branding, how Caroline got into this business, and how she reimagines her client's brands through the lens of smell. scentmarketinginc.com | scentfluence.com | @scentmarketingincSOTD: Chambre 52 Contre Ta Peau (get 10% off LuckyScent sample with code: perfumeroom) BOOK A SCENT STYLING SESSION W ME: linktr.ee/emmavernFRAGS MENTIONED: Chambre 52 Contre Ta Peau, Penhaligon's Fortuitous Finley, Comme des Garcons Odeur du Theatre du Chatelet Act I, Headspace Sauge, La Perla Once Upon a Garden, Celine Saint-Germain-Des-Prés, Dior Bois D'Argent, Abercrombie Fierce, Hollister Socal, Wayfair Perfect Weekend, Dior Eau Sauvage, Estée Lauder: Youth Dew, Cinnabar; Revlon Charlie, The One Hotel signature scent, Guerlain Shalimar, Chopard Casmir
