Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ancillary spend, guest satisfaction top priorities at Crestline (with Aaron Olson)
Q: What was your reaction to the new forecast and how do you see 2027 shaping up?
The forecast aligned with expectations, with 2026 outperforming and 2027 likely to bring tougher comps, but the focus remains on inflation, margin management, and continuing ADR growth to support profitability.
Business travel brings hope to Hawaii, PM Hotel Group's Erica Lipscomb says
Q: What are your expectations for the full year and next year as you enter budget season?
The team is cautiously optimistic, expecting continued positive momentum with careful emphasis on sub-market performance and early data-driven planning for 2027, while acknowledging some uncertainty around international travel.
Business travel brings hope to Hawaii, PM Hotel Group's Erica Lipscomb says
Q: What do you wish owners understood a little better about commercial strategy and the data behind it?
Owners now understand that commercial strategy is a mindset and not a siloed function, and they should focus on the customer experience rather than just revenue or marketing metrics.
The need for the return of international travel (with Highgate's Kerry Mack)
Q: What does the current mix of performance mean for Highgate's revenue strategy going forward?
Revenue teams should prepare for ongoing volatility from world events and market shifts, leveraging strong domestic demand, consistent corporate and group trends, while staying ready for international travel to rebound and drive longer stays and more spend.
Virgin Hotels' Jeff Borman on leveraging uniqueness
Q: So let me start by asking, obviously it's been a pretty strong summer across the board. How has it been for Virgin Hotels?
Virgin Hotels has seen a decent summer overall, with the Virgin Limited Edition portfolio performing exceptionally well in its boutique, off-the-beaten-path locations while the main Virgin Hotels portfolio tracks market currents in major cities.
