They are the ones who are talking with guests daily and know what it takes to make guests feel welcomed and at home.It’s the little gestures of hospitality that really keep people going and keep them coming back. Technology advances for hospitality can help to make guests feel more at home. It can allow them to set whatever temperature they want or any lighting setting they want.The design of a place can change the entire mood of a person walking into it. Quote of the Show: 11:21 “Springtime is around the corner and it's always a nice rebirth. You're kind of shedding that cold winter and into something new and fresh. And I feel the light at the end of the tunnel here with where we're headed. It’s exciting for hospitality because I think everybody's going to want to be traveling and they're getting out there, seeing what's out there and plan their next vacation or their next business trip. It's gonna really focus around the amenities and what the property has to offer.”Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-flannery-15732937/Website: https://www.pkhotelsandresorts.com/Shout Outs: 3:23 The Hilton in Ocean City, MD3:41 Marriott10:04 ALoft Marriott16:27 Digital Key29:30 Signia by Hilton29:33 Waldorf Astoria31:04 Hilton Hawaiian Village46:49 Doubletree Hotel47:38 Dave Kaplan47:39 Death and Company48:10 Equinox48:11 Merivale48:22 Tiger KingWays to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419Podbean: https://www.defininghospitality.live/Youtube : https://youtu.be/GCQbm8tU5KE
