Recently, The Wall Street Journal published an article about the frustrations travelers still face with hotel-room technology. I read it with one overwhelming reaction: How are we still here? After more than 20 years of talking, advising, designing, reviewing, and troubleshooting hotel technology, it is astonishing that so many of the same avoidable issues still remain. Not futuristic issues. Not expensive moonshots. Not obscure edge cases. No AI needed here. Just the basics. Bad TV experiences. Poor Wi-Fi. Not enough sockets. Confusing controls. Weak lighting. Awkward workspaces. Apps galore. QR codes everywhere. And technology that is far too visible precisely because it does not work well enough to disappear. That last point matters. Because the best hotel technology should be invisible . It should be so well planned, so intuitively designed, and so operationally sound that the guest barely notices it. No repeated logins. No crawling behind furniture. No failed casting attempts. No guessing which light switch does what. No returning to the room to find devices not charged because the hotel cut power when the guest stepped out. And yet, across the industry, we are still building friction into the guest journey and then acting surprised when satisfaction scores suffer. The industry still confuses “smart” with “useful.” Too much hotel technology is designed to impress project teams rather than serve guests. A “smart” TV that takes ten minutes to figure out is not smart. An app-only room service journey is not innovative if it makes hospitality feel colder. A beautifully designed room with nowhere convenient to charge a phone is not guest-centric. A stylish bedside panel that lets one guest switch off the lights, but not the other, is not thoughtful design. It is amazing how often the industry gets seduced by aesthetics, interfaces, and feature lists while overlooking the very things that define comfort, convenience, and usability. Guests do not reward technological ambition. They reward ease. Wi-Fi is now more important than hot water Provocative? Perhaps. True? Absolutely. A guest may tolerate many things, but they will not tolerate poor connectivity, especially at premium rates. In a world of cloud work, streaming, gaming, video calls, multiple devices, and instant speed testing, weak Wi-Fi is no longer a minor annoyance. It is a brand failure. And let us be honest: every guest now knows how to run Speedtest. So when they pay $250, $350, or more per night and encounter dreadful speeds, repeated authentication prompts, or patchy coverage, their reaction will not be neutral. It will go straight to frustration, review scores, and NPS. Hotels must stop treating Wi-Fi as an amenity and start treating it as mission-critical infrastructure. It should be fast. It should be stable. It should be easy. And the guest should sign in once, not 20 times. You can never have too many power sockets The shortage of convenient power in hotel rooms remains one of the industry’s most baffling failures. Guests today travel with phones, laptops, tablets, watches, earbuds, battery packs, and sometimes work

Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the signing of a strategic agreement with Regenta Hotels Private Limited, owned by Royal Orchid Hotels Limited, to sign and open 125 Hampton by Hilton hotels in India. The partnership accelerates Hilton’s upper midscale expansion in India, where rising domestic travel and growing demand from the country’s expanding middle class are driving strong opportunities in the mid-market segment. The franchised hotels will primarily be developed across western and southern markets, including Goa, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, joining more than 3,100 Hampton by Hilton properties trading globally. India’s economic growth, expanding middle class and rapid infrastructure development are reshaping the country’s travel landscape, creating significant opportunities for our brands.

Sleep is not a pause between performances. It is performance. And no one understands that more than Equinox Hotels. The leader in high-performance luxury, built on the uncompromising pillars of movement, nutrition, regeneration, and community, announces the return of its Global Sleep Symposium for its third consecutive year. An evening unlike anything else in the world of health, hospitality, or science: one night, one room, the most rigorous minds in human optimization, and a singular question: what happens when you treat sleep as the most powerful tool in your arsenal? June 4th. Equinox Hotel New York. One night to change how you perform for the rest of your life. This year's Symposium evolves. Gone is the traditional conference format. In its place: an intimate, salon-style evening where world-class science meets unfiltered conversation, distilled into an experience that is as intellectually relentless as it is deeply human. Conversation. Connection. Transformation. THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP + PERFORMANCE Sleep is not passive. It is the most underutilized performance lever on earth, governing cognition, emotional intelligence, physical recovery, hormonal health, creativity, and the quality of every human connection you'll ever have. The Symposium's third chapter doesn't just illuminate that truth. It activates it. The evening opens with a keynote from Dr. Matthew Walker, the world's preeminent authority on sleep science, probing how sleep shapes every dimension of elite performance: decision-making under pressure, creative breakthrough, long-term cognitive resilience, and the compounding returns of truly restorative rest. Then the conversation goes further. An interdisciplinary panel brings together three of the most formidable voices at the intersection of science, performance, and the human condition: Dr. Eric Potterat: High Performance & Clinical Psychologist. Former Head Psychologist for the U.S. Navy SEALs, U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Red Bull Athletes. He has operated at the outermost edge of human performance. He knows what sleep costs when it breaks down and what it returns when it's optimized. Dr. Kirk Parsley: MD, Member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, Retired Navy SEAL. The rare physician who has lived the physiological stakes of sleep deprivation at the elite level and rebuilt the science of recovery from the ground up. Dr. Emily Morse: Doctor of Human Sexuality, renowned Sexologist, and host of the Sex With Emily podcast. Because sleep doesn't just shape how you work. It shapes how you love, connect, and experience intimacy, and the science behind that is more powerful than most people realize. Together, they will dismantle the conventional understanding of rest and rebuild it as what it actually is: a biological superpower. GET CLOSE TO THE SCIENCE This is not a lecture. Salon-style conversations give guests direct, unfiltered access to each speaker, the kind of dialogue you cannot have anywhere else. Ask the questions you've never had the room to ask. Walk away with evidence-based strategies tailored to your life, your body, your performance. THE CLOSE: SOUND AS RECOVERY The evening culminates in an immersive sound journey led by Johnny Venus, Grammy-nominated artist and

Philadelphia has experienced a slower demand rebound from the effects of the pandemic. However, despite some current external headwinds, there is significant optimism for the city on the horizon, with upward momentum expected in 2026 and beyond. Post‑Pandemic Lodging Trends in Philadelphia Leading up to the pandemic, the Philadelphia hotel market achieved occupancy levels around 70%, which was driven by the strength of corporate transient demand, citywide events, and domestic and international tourism. Despite year-over-year increases since the rebound in 2021, Philadelphia has been slower to recover, with occupancy reaching just over 64% to end 2025. As a comparison, the city’s occupancy remained roughly 8% lower than the 2019 performance, while the aggregate occupancy for the top 25 markets in the U.S. was roughly 6% below the 2019 level in 2025. This slower recovery is primarily attributed to a lack of full recovery in business and group travel to the area, in addition to a sharp increase in supply (including alternative lodging options, such as Airbnb ) since 2019. Similar to occupancy, the city’s ADR peaked leading up to the pandemic, exceeding $136 in 2019. However, this metric recovered at a much faster pace than room-night demand, noting a new peak of roughly $146 by 2022. While heightened inflation played an important role in rate growth during that time, the entrance of new upscale supply into the market helped drive citywide room rates to new heights. In line with national trends, ADR began to normalize in 2023 but remained above the $150 mark, which reflects a roughly 10% increase from the pre-pandemic performance. However, ADR remained generally flat in 2024 and 2025. The stability is attributed to a slower demand recovery in conjunction with new supply absorption through 2024, followed by macroeconomic headwinds tied to international tariff negotiations and federal budget cuts in 2025; these issues reduced spending and travel across all major market segments, especially European and Canadian tourism. What to Watch in the Near Term Philadelphia has a lot to look forward to for the remainder of 2026, including several major events: Festivities throughout the year tied to America’s 250th anniversary , highlighting the city’s rich history and cultural diversity Six FIFA World Cup matches during the months of June and July, including a “Round of 16” match on July 4th, slated to attract roughly 500,000 visitors and $770 million in economic impact The MLB All-Star Game in July, estimated to draw over 100,000 visitors to the city The nearly week-long PGA Championship in May, reportedly attracting over 200,000 spectators to the city Moreover, the Philadelphia Business Journal reports that the city is expected to host the most citywide events in over two decades for the 2026 calendar year, with projected convention attendance exceeding one million. While an inevitable normalization from the 2026 highs is expected for 2027, area hoteliers report continued demand momentum, with RevPAR experiencing resumed growth beginning in 2028. This forecast is based on a number of factors, including an expected recovery of international tourism

As a former revenue manager myself, I often found that hoteliers were excited to talk about more complicated topics, but often had trouble addressing the more mundane topic of base business. Hoteliers were typically eager to talk about things like Optimizing channel mix to reduce reliance on highest-margin channels. Perfecting the pricing curve in the lead-up to major events. Running a displacement analysis for competing RFPs and picking the one that is most perfectly optimized. But often, upon closer inspection these very same hoteliers were struggling with more basic problems: low occupancy, losing market share in ADR, or sub-optimal pricing strategies. An unspoken secret is that while the fancier topics that are listed above are important, they make up a relatively small portion of what we as commercial strategists do on a day-to-day basis, and many of us would be better off focusing on building and maintaining occupancy first. One place that many hoteliers would be better off emphasizing is optimizing their base business strategy, an often-overlooked foundation for any successful hotel. Having a strong and solid ‘base’ of guests is a core building block that later allows you to address the ‘finer points’ we mentioned above. In this blog, we will give you all the keys to help you understand what base business is, some actionable examples of base business that you can pursue today, methods for evaluating base business, and how to use this core component to build toward better profitability and more revenue growth. First, let’s start with the basics, and get a working definition of exactly what we mean when we talk about ‘base’. What is base business? ‘Base business’ is hotelier-shorthand for those regularly recurring rooms that we can rely on day-in and day-out to fill at least a sizable portion of our rooms. Base business isn’t just extended stay Extended stay guests can certainly comprise much of our ‘base’, but length-of-stay is not what determines whether a piece of business is base business. Even short one night stays can be included in our base business if they occur regularly enough. In fact, it's exactly this reliable and recurring nature of certain stays that qualifies them as base business. What are some examples of base business that aren’t extended stay? Consider a flight attendant that stays almost every Thursday through Sunday at your hotel, or the traveling nurse who comes in 2 weeks every month, or even your reliable business-transient guests with local negotiated accounts that come rolling into the lobby every Monday afternoon for their mid-week stay. Why do hoteliers call it “base”? The term has simple origins: it’s likely just an allusion to a literal base, or foundation that you build on top of. If building the perfect revenue strategy were like building a skyscraper, your base business is the solid concrete foundation - without it your other strategies won’t stand up. But, if base business is so crucial, you may wonder why hoteliers don’t simply fill their whole hotel with this kind

Hotel teams traditionally focus on revenue, demand, and pickup. These indicators shape pricing decisions, distribution strategies, and forecasting, forming the backbone of commercial management. However, one important layer is often underused — website analytics. It shows how demand forms before a booking happens and helps explain why guests behave the way they do. How Website Data Can Be Used in Hotel Marketing As a marketing director, this is how I approach website analytics. I use it to understand what needs to be adjusted in campaigns, content, and targeting. I look at session data to see how users actually interact with the website, and combine it with acquisition data to understand where that traffic comes from — whether it’s search, metasearch, or referral sources. This approach often reveals opportunities that are not visible in standard reports. For example, using website analytics, Exely Customer Success identified high traffic to one of our partner hotels’ websites from a country that was not considered a target market. The website was not localized for this audience, so most of the traffic did not convert. After the hotel added a language version and launched a country-specific offer for low-demand periods, bookings from this market increased significantly — turning previously lost traffic into direct revenue. This is exactly the kind of signal website analytics helps uncover early. From this perspective, website data becomes a practical tool for marketing teams. It helps to: identify which countries and cities show real interest understand how users interact with the website see which landing pages drive deeper exploration understand which traffic sources bring engaged visitors In another case, website traffic was steady, but bookings did not meet targets. Website analytics showed that several organic and referral sources were bringing engaged users who did not convert. A closer look at these sources revealed the issue: information on these platforms was outdated or incomplete and did not match the website. After updating content on those platforms and aligning it with the website, the hotel saw stronger engagement and better conversion even without increasing ad spend. This is where insights turn into action. Based on this type of analysis, marketing teams can make decisions such as: prioritizing sources for paid campaigns refining traffic sources and improving listings across channels adjusting website content to better match audience expectations activating country-based offers or mobile-specific promotions in the booking engine reviewing languages and currency settings based on real demand Why We Introduced Website Performance Dashboards in Exely Analytics To support our partner hotels’ marketing we introduced Website Performance Dashboards within Exely Analytics. They bring together two focused areas: Audience — shows session statistics, user activity, and engagement over a selected period Acquisition — shows traffic sources, including websites, metasearch engines, visits, traffic distribution, and landing pages They help connect traffic insights with decisions that directly impact performance — which markets to prioritize, which channels to refine, and how to align the website with real demand. Website data shows where opportunities are but your website needs to be
