  • My train commute staple

    Great podcast that actually dives into the nitty gritty of hotel tech strategy with industry leaders. I take notes and usually walk away with at least 2-3 strategies or tools I can try that week for my hotel business.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Concord Hospitality's VP of Digital on AI in Hotel Marketing
Q: Can you describe Concord's internal AI governance journey and what the AI Steering Committee and subcommittees look like?
Concord established an AI Steering Committee about three years ago, chaired by the VP of Digital Marketing and the CTO, with field subcommittees of GMs and line leaders to put AI into the hands of on-site teams, capture feedback, and drive practical, scalable improvements in workflows and tools.
Concord Hospitality's VP of Digital on AI in Hotel Marketing
Q: Where are the biggest changes that you've seen in the last five years since the advent of mass market LLMs?
The channel mix between Direct/brand.com and OTAs has not shifted massively, but OTAs have tended to innovate AI faster in their platforms while brands are catching up. There are ongoing shifts in how consumers search and how AI tools influence consideration sets, with OTAs and brand sites both adapting to AI-enabled discovery.
Hotel ÜJA CEO on Buying and Digitizing Boomer Hotels
Q: What were your biggest apprehensions about buying the hotel, and how did you overcome them?
The biggest concern was whether we could actually afford the property given its boomer owners, but the price reflected its potential; we planned a remodel and leaned into branding and direct marketing to transform the business and attract guests.
Hotel ÜJA CEO on Buying and Digitizing Boomer Hotels
Q: Do you choose the town before buying the hotel, or was the town identified around the investment opportunity?
We picked the town first and waited for the right hotel opportunity to appear; the location around the hotel was a catalyst for the business plan and renovations, not the other way around.
How VAI Resort Built 12 Custom AI Apps
Q: How do you address security when building and deploying AI tools?
Create isolated development environments, implement single sign-on and strict access control, avoid exposing keys to AI, and consider internal LLMs so sensitive data never leaves the hotel's own infrastructure; security is treated as a core requirement from the start.
