I had the chance to interview keynote luncheon speaker Mitch Patel, President & CEO of Vision Hospitality Group, on stage during the Southern Lodging Summit this past August. Here's that keynote session for you.  We covered a lot of ground — from the early days when Mitch cashed out his 401(k) to build his first hotel, to how he's navigating today's market with a laser focus on #operationalexcellence, smart development, and a culture built to last. Mitch talked about how passion drives everything he does, why hospitality is “the most beautiful business,” and what it takes to build a company that thrives through every market cycle. His insights on #leadership and staying resilient through uncertainty are ones every hotel owner and operator should hear. Big thanks to my friends at Actabl for supporting conversations like this and for helping hoteliers turn insight into action.

Al Lagunas is the co-founder of Levee, an AI-driven vision-and-voice platform that converts room inspections into verified data and automated workflows. A first-generation Mexican American from Chicago, Al's people-first lens was shaped by his mom's hotel housekeeping career. Susan and Al talk about pitching, personalization, and productivity. What You'll Learn About: • How physical and digital products sell differently • Lessons from scaling a startup  • The people-first lens Al brings from his family's housekeeping roots • "Time to Value" as the overlooked metric in hotel ops • How Levee's one-button vision and voice AI verifies room setup • Real-time feedback that gets new housekeepers to three-month performance by their fourth room • Closing the personalization fulfillment gap • The near-future mix of human teams plus AI agents and robotics Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Time to Value Is More Important Than “Training Time” Al reframed the industry's labor challenge: the real problem isn't a shortage of workers, but how quickly hotels can turn new hires into valuable contributors. Instead of focusing on a 10–20 day training period, operators should measure “time to value”—how fast a team member begins producing quality work. Using Levy's AI-assisted inspections, new housekeepers reached the performance level of 3–6 month veterans after cleaning just four rooms, which radically reduces onboarding friction. 2. Personalization Requires Operational Fulfillment, Not Just Data Guest personalization has long been a “white whale” in hospitality, but Al emphasized that data alone isn't enough. Knowing a guest's coffee preference or pillow type doesn't matter unless the front-line team can reliably act on it. Levy addresses this by making room setup checklists dynamic and verifiable, turning guest data into consistent fulfillment. This shifts personalization from an abstract idea to a repeatable process embedded in daily operations. 3. The Workforce of the Future Will Be People + AI Agents Al predicts that hotel back-of-house teams will evolve into a hybrid workforce of humans, AI agents, and robotics. Instead of viewing AI as a replacement, he sees it as an extension of labor—helping staff complete inspections, surface data, and automate tasks. This diversification enables leaner, more efficient teams while also opening the door for new types of roles and responsibilities as hospitality operations modernize.

In dieser Folge reisen Jenny und Malte mit Kollege Konrad Bender nach Wien – ins Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel. Ein Prachtbau aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, frisch renoviert und heute eine luxuriöse Mischung aus Tradition, Stil und Wiener Charme.

Great hospitality starts with confident employees. Without them, guest satisfaction—and the bottom line—suffers. That's why I hosted a Hotel Business Hot Topics roundtable with:

Richard Valtr didn't just build hotel software—he rewired what a stay could be. Before Mews, he was designing a 60-key hotel in Prague with a brazen brief: make every guest feel five-star without hiring an army. He imagined stays like playlists—moods, moments, choices—then realized the industry lacked the pipes to power it. So he built them: an open-API PMS as the backbone for personalization at scale. Today on the show, I'm joined by Richard Valtr—founder of Mews, hotelier-turned-systems architect, and one of the sharpest minds pushing hospitality past “heads in beds.” In this episode, we: Explore how that 60-key Prague experiment became a prototype for Mews—and whether a “playlist for your stay” can actually scale. Discuss why the real upside may live in the 16 waking hours, and how RevPAG could nudge P&Ls beyond a bed-only mindset. Explore what changes when spend is posted to the guest, not the room—and whether that unlocks offers people actually want next time. Discuss how personalization might honor your different modes—parent, partner, road warrior—with AI helping dial convenience vs. high-touch. Explore what an open-by-default stack could enable—and what the future relationship between OTAs and operators might look like (and how it could benefit everyone).

“  I feel like Berlin is a city where anything is possible, while never quite achieving polished glamor. And that's its charm. There is no steep hierarchy to enter the art scene, or any scene to be honest. And that is what we wanted to reflect here in Château Royal Berlin, this kind of openness and uniqueness.”We're in great company with Kirsten Landwehr, co-founder and curator of Château Royal, an enchanting and eccentric boutique hotel in the heart of Berlin Mitte, where craftsmanship and reinterpretation have revived what was once en vogue during the city's former golden ages, now adorned with contemporary art and convivial hosts.Rooted in Berlin's creative pulse, Kirsten and her husband, restaurateur Stephan Landwehr of Grill Royal fame, have transformed two historic buildings into a living gallery—one that celebrates design, culture, and the art of gathering. With her background in art and photography curation, Kirsten's vision marries history and modernity with effortless elegance.In this episode, Kirsten shares how she's shaped Berlin's art and hospitality scenes—revealing her philosophy on collecting, creating soulful spaces, and honoring the ever-evolving spirit of her city.Top Takeaways[2:00] As a child, Kirsten always dreamed of a bigger and better world. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she decided to set out and steward that world herself. [4:00] How Kirsten and her husband, Stephan, with their shared appreciation for Berlin's creative energy and culinary artistry, fed and fueled the birth of Berlin's contemporary art scene through their cult classic restaurant, Grill Royal. [7:00] Hear the turbulent history of two historic buildings in the heart of Berlin Mitte, steps away from the Brandenburg Gate—from being the center of the Golden Twenties to falling into disrepair after WWII, from being used for surveillance during the GDR to housing the studios of squatting artists after the Berlin Wall.  [9:00] As Kirsten and Stephan breathed new life into these buildings, curating what would become Château Royal Berlin, they set out to create a space that was “decidedly cosmopolitan, yet unimaginable in any other city.”[10:20] Today, Château Royal Berlin is full of life and conviviality—as locals and travelers, artists and guests, fill the space with their own perspectives and fresh ideas. [11:45] With 93 guest rooms to design and a deep personal determination that no two would be the same, Kirsten invited her artist community to fill their spaces. What then became #93Rooms93Artists, was a permanent home for these artists to proudly showcase their work, host their own guests and welcome in new friends.[14:30] At Restaurant Château Royal, a creative menu and curated atmosphere proves food can be fancy while still being familiar and fresh.Notable MentionsDirector Edward BergerArtist & Art Collector Damien HirstChâteau Royal's Guide to BerlinSaint Charles ApothecaryVenini Lamps & Chandeliers Visit For YourselfChâteau Royal Berlin Website | @chateauroyalberlin

Seattle's Hotel Sorrento has long been called one of the most haunted hotels in America. Guests whisper about phantom piano music, drinks that slide across tables, and a playful spirit said to be none other than Alice B. Toklas—famed partner of Gertrude Stein and counterculture icon. But did Toklas ever even set foot in the hotel?

Some people see the other side their entire lives—and for one clairvoyant listener, that gift became both a blessing and a curse. From hearing her deceased grandmother's voice calling her name just hours apart from her father hearing the same thing, to driving aimlessly only to end up standing on her grandparents' graves, every encounter felt guided by something unseen. But it didn't stop there. At the Victorian hotel where she worked, phantom footsteps ran across empty hallways, and unseen voices called her name from another floor—while her coworkers swore they'd heard her calling theirs. And years later, inside a centuries-old priory just before Halloween, she and her husband both froze as heavy footsteps echoed above them—where no floor existed. Her husband felt something pass through him, dragging his soul downward like chains. Later research revealed the terrifying truth: a mad monk had been buried on that site—in chains. From ghostly forgiveness to bone-deep dread, this chilling true story shows how the veil between worlds sometimes doesn't just thin—it opens. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueHaunting #ClairvoyantExperiences #HauntedPriory #MonkInChains #ParanormalVoices #GhostEncounters #AfterlifeConnections #HauntedHotel #SupernaturalPodcast #MessagesFromBeyond #SpiritualAwakening Love real ghost stories?

Once a dazzling playground for the rich and powerful of the mining boom, the Mizpah now hosts a far more permanent crowd — its ghosts. Guests report encounters with The Lady in Red, a glamorous apparition known for her love of jewelry and her haunting presence in the upper floors.

Tune in to this special episode of the Suite Spot to hear from two very special guests of the International Luxury Hotel Association. First off, President of the ILHA, Barak Hirschowitz, and Co-Founder of the association, Jonathan Edelheit, join the podcast to preview the upcoming INSPIRE USA conference taking place on December 10-11, in Las Vegas, Nevada.  These two luxury hospitality experts discuss several important topics in this episode, including the humble origin of the ILHA, how the luxury hotel market is leading the industry in innovation, what attendees can look forward to from INSPIRE USA 2025, and much more. 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, episode 185, and from the title we are previewing another hospitality event. One of my favorite things to do look at, and this one, it's a first timer for me, not certainly for our guests. I'm gonna bring them and we're gonna talk all about it. The Inspire USA event hosted by ILHA, the International Luxury Hotel Association. My two guests with me today, Barak Hirschowitz, President of the ILHA, and Jonathan Edelheit, co-founder of the ILHA, Barak, Jon, thank you so much for taking the time and checking into the Suite Spot with me. Barak Hirschowitz: Well, thank you. It's wonderful to be here and great to meet you. Ryan Embree: And we're excited about it, excited about the event, but before we get into that, I wanna just start with a little bit of hospitality background. We always love to kind of start there. Hospitality's such a funky industry. People come from different brands, they come from different backgrounds. Sometimes they fall into it, sometimes they fall into the industry with a summer job, sometimes they're born into the industry. So I figured let's go ahead and give our Suite Spot audience a little bit of background into your hospitality journey and what led you to the ILHA Barak. We'll start with you and then go to Jon. Barak Hirschowitz: Yeah, thanks. So I started in the industry in the late, late eighties, early nineties. I went to Johnson Wales. I started as a, I started in culinary, as many people do in the hotel industry. And those were interesting times because back then there were really only a couple of places you get a degree in culinary arts. So it led me to, you know, travel abroad, which was great. I started, just before I went overseas, I did an internship at the Grand Floridian, which believe it or not, was still a fairly new hotel back then. And then started working abroad internationally, moved eventually to more the hotel side of the business. I worked in South Africa for some very well-known hotel brands. Sun International. Sun International is Saul K's original brand that he had when he was still based in South Africa. So that, you know, today we know him for Atlantis and we know him for one, um, one and only hotels. But, um, back then he had Sun International, so I worked with him. I worked for a company called Halian Hotels, which had, uh, luxury hotels in, in South Africa, and actually a few up Africa as well. And, um, I had an opportunity, I guess my sort of real push, first push into luxury was in the late nineties. I got to help open a hotel called Bushman's Klu in South Africa, which is a luxury safari lodge. The year, within a year of opening, we, um, we became a member of Relay and Chateau, which was a pretty prestigious, uh, pretty prestigious organization. And after I left a couple of years later, the hotel went on to win Best Hotel in the world, um, travel and Leisure. So, you know, that was a, it was really a, a great opportunity to see the best of the best in the world. I still to this day think it's probably the most luxurious property I've ever stayed in, and still the best service, uh, that I've ever seen in any hotel.

Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEA dying man with a fake identity spent his final days erasing every trace of his existence before walking into the Irish sea, leaving investigators with only one question: who was Peter Bergmann? | #WDRadio WEEK OF OCT 12, 2025==========HOUR ONE: In June of 2009 a man calling himself Peter Bergmann checked in to a hotel in Sligo Town. Five days later his body was found on Rosses Point Beach. But Peter Bergmann was not Peter Bergmann – so who was he? (The Peter Bergmann Mystery) *** Sharing stories from people who are frightened by a bump in the night or a strange shadow on the wall in their bedroom is one thing, but when you get professional ghost hunters telling of the scariest experiences they've had, you know it has to be some freaky stuff. (Scariest Experiences of Ghost Hunters) ==========HOUR TWO: Jeannie Saffin already had a tough life, being born with a birth defect that stunted her mental growth, leaving her with the mind of a child, never getting married and having kids, never dating… but that all pales in comparison to how she died: bursting into flames for no apparent reason. Was Jeannie Saffin the victim of spontaneous human combustion? (The Spontaneous Combustion of Jeannie Saffin) *** Sometimes it's easy to get a girl to go out with you – just be polite and ask. Some men resort to cheesy pickup lines thinking it will help their chances. But one man chose to call upon a woman in a very unusual way… by purchasing a gravestone. (Pitching Woo With a Tombstone) *** If a man demands his girlfriend give up the baby they conceived, otherwise he would no longer be with the woman – what is that newborn's mother to do? Sadly, Emily Dunn made the wrong decision – with tragic results. (The Durbin Baby Murder) *** The transplanting of an organ is almost a routine procedure now in the 21st century – even doing a transplant of an arm or a leg isn't uncommon. But when you talk about transplanting a living head onto a dead body – that's when things get tricky. But Robert White thought it could be done – and even tried doing it. (The Man Who Wanted To Do a Head Transplant) *** Imagine getting onto a plane and once in the air finding out that the pilot wasn't qualified to fly that kind of plane – and that he was only there because the original pilot wasn't available due to being dead. That's what happened in 1934 on the boat, the SS Morro Castle. And it was the beginning of tragedy after tragedy. (Mystery, Mismanagement, and Mayhem on the SS Morro Castle)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the scariest experiences of ghost hunters! *** I'll tell you about that time when a dam failed – and because of it, people were legally allowed to marry the dead. And still do to this day. (That Time A Failed Dam Led to Marrying Corpses) *** Personal experiences of those who have stayed at the Wolf Creek Inn, plus some hard evidence, seems to indicate that spirits who haunt the place are not only benign in nature, but even protect the guests and owners from other malevolent spirits which roam there as well.
