Why Most 5-Star Hotels Are Not Truly Luxury Anymore

Why Most 5-Star Hotels Are Not Truly Luxury Anymore 1. Luxury is not aesthetics, it’s function. Marble, design, and impressive suites no longer define luxury. Today’s high-end traveler is not impressed by what they see but by what they feel: seamless processes, precision, flow, and respect for their time. The product is secondary. The experience is the product. 2. The industry hasn’t kept up with the modern luxury guest. The UHNW traveler has evolved. They want anticipation, privacy, calm, personalization that feels intuitive, not “checklist hospitality.” Yet many 5-star hotels still operate on 1990s models: heavy hierarchies, rigid SOPs, “luxurious” [...]

You can’t smell burned coffee on a spreadsheet…

You can’t smell burned coffee on a spreadsheet... Because here’s the truth: Data explains what happened. Proximity explains why. You learn more from 20 minutes of breakfast rush than from a 20-page monthly report. When onsite, I’m not checking for dust.

Spreadsheets give you the coordinates. Hotels give you [...]

Stop calling your brand “luxury” if it isn’t. You’re not helping yourself.

Stop calling your brand “luxury” if it isn’t. You’re not helping yourself.  “Luxury” is not a prettier word for nice, expensive or high quality. Real luxury comes with very specific attributes: rarity, craftsmanship, consistency, and a level of service that feels almost unreasonable in its attention to detail. Yet today, everything is “luxury”: clinics, burger joints, car washes, mid-scale hotels. And it’s a problem. Here’s why misusing the word hurts your brand: •You overpromise and underdeliver. Guests arrive expecting a Four Seasons moment and get a decent three-star experience. That gap becomes disappointment, bad reviews and broken trust. •You attract [...]

Sustainability: Tourism must be part of the solution to the climate crisis

Sustainability: Tourism must be part of the solution to the climate crisis Ahmed Al Khateeb, Minister of Tourism for Saudi Arabia What is ‘sustainability’? In 1987 the United Nation’s Brundtland Commission (also known as the World Commission on Environment and Development Commission) released its final report, ‘Our Common Future’. The report popularized the term ‘sustainable development’, defining it as: "…development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. An important point about this definition, particularly for tourism businesses, is that sustainability is about development – it does not preclude [...]
