What becomes clear heading into 2026 is that advantage no longer comes from isolated innovation. It comes from coherence. The hotels pulling ahead are not experimenting more than their peers; they are aligning experience, operations, and technology into a single, reinforcing system. Where that alignment exists, execution accelerates. Where it does not, even strong ideas struggle to scale.

In the world of hospitality, creativity and culture are often expressed through grand gestures: sweeping architecture, curated interiors, art installations, or signature experiences. These are the elements hotels proudly showcase and rightly so. They set the stage.

Happy New Year! This is the season when many people (and companies) take time to reset and prepare to kick off the new year. Some have already made their plan. Others choose to do it at the beginning of the year. It doesn’t matter when you choose to reset as long as you do it. So, for this first article, I’d like to offer up something to consider. Twelve New Year’s resolutions in the form of what you should STOP doing! (By the way, I recently wrote a similar article featuring five of these for Forbes. Read the article here.)

WITT (Wellness in Travel & Tourism), the global organization behind the Core Wellness Standards for Hotels, today announced the launch of the WITT Accredited Professional (WITT AP) credential — the first global wellness accreditation created specifically for hospitality professionals.

The Indian gum wood piles expanded, giving the old girl a lift.

I enjoy a good road trip, anyone who knows me knows when it’s time to travel, I’ll hit the road in a heartbeat. There’s something exciting about being in motion, traveling to new places, or just getting to revisit somewhere I’ve visited before.

The era of static blueprints is officially over. For decades, hotel design and hotel technology were separate disciplines. Architects drew walls, and IT teams filled them with cables. However, this siloed approach fails in a market demanding hyper-personalization. Today, the role of technology in hospitality design is shifting from a functional add-on to a foundational element. It is the “invisible architect,” shaping function, feeling, and revenue. For modern hoteliers, the challenge is balancing aesthetic beauty with operational intelligence. Technology must support the design without dominating it.

MICE tourism, an acronym for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions, represents one of the most influential segments of global business travel.
