LodgIQ, the AI-driven revenue management and commercial strategy platform for hotels, today announced a major expansion of its product capabilities, introducing a suite of advanced analytics, integrations, and collaboration tools.

Earlier this week, I found myself at Expedia Group’s Roman offices, seated across from Elisa Ragno for Guess the Guest. The plan, at least on paper, was simple: talk about AI and hospitality. What happened instead was closer to a dérive, a drift across the borderlands where travel, technology, and human complexity leak into each other. Elisa had the admirable courage to ask real questions and the even greater courage to let me answer them without a safety net.

In the hospitality industry, achieving sustainability is often viewed as a complex challenge, one that requires coordination, consistency, and commitment across departments. Interestingly, many of the sustainable products we introduce into hotel environments embody these same qualities.

Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) has launched a trio of artificial intelligence (AI) agents to address changes in how people source information.

The world of hotel and venue sourcing for events has never felt more demanding. Planners want speed, clarity, and venues that spark connection and deliver memorable experiences.

Small Luxury Hotels of the World™ (SLH), renowned for its independently minded portfolio of boutique properties, has launched a sustainability Call-to-Action (CTA) Report.

Hilton is continuing its expansion in France, with a portfolio that has almost doubled in just five years, supported in part by the recent arrival of its new premium budget brand Spark in Lyon. Today, the American hotel group operates 14 hotels in Paris and the Île-de-France region, with another property to be added to the portfolio: DoubleTree by Hilton Paris Boulogne, scheduled to open in January 2026. The hotel will result from the rapid conversion of the former Radisson Blu Paris Boulogne, which has been taken over under a management contract by Schroders Capital.

In hospitality, the guest journey starts long before they reach the room.

Across the USA, hotels are rethinking the traditional travel-size toiletries placed in every room. These small bottles have been a familiar part of the guest experience for decades, yet most guests only use a portion of what’s inside. Once opened, the bottle can’t be reused — it must be thrown away, along with any leftover product.
