Get an inside look at how hotel owners and investors can drive more streamlined, predictable and efficient boutique lifestyle hotel development.
The boutique and lifestyle hotel segments remain ripe for growth and attractive to owners, developers and investors. A recent STR report noted that lifestyle hotels are expected to account for nearly one fourth of the worldwide hotel development pipeline by 2025, driven by the potential for added design, amenity and staffing model flexibility and a shift in consumer preferences towards more customized and distinctive travel experiences.
Historically, boutique hotel development could be considered daunting, especially for those new to the segment. However, through modern design innovation and a resourceful intersection of leading brands and curious owners, it’s easier than ever to bring a boutique or lifestyle hotel to life on a competitive budget and fast-to-market timeline.
In this exclusive conversation, Carol Hoeller, vice president, global brands – Hotel Indigo, IHG Hotels & Resorts and Jeremy McCauley, vice president, Park Place Hospitality Group, discuss how owners, developers and investors can “Go boutique without going broke,” and why prominent boutique brands (such as IHG’s Hotel Indigo) are poised to lead the next evolution of this growing hospitality segment.
