Five Hotel Trends for 2016

by Siti Zawani @ 27 Nov 2015

You just can’t catch a break in the hospitality industry. Even at a time when hotel occupancy rates are soaring in many domestic markets, disruptive forces like the sharing economy, the emerging millennial market, and changing tastes in food and beverage are forcing hospitality industry leaders to rethink the way they do business.

That was the theme among many speakers at the recent Hotel Experience trade show held at the Javits Center, in New York. At the session called “Outside of the Box: F&B trends in Lifestyle Hotels,” panellists came up with old rules vs. new rules like:

• Old Rule: Hotels are restaurant-centric.
• New Rule: Hotels are bar-centric, places where consumers can network and enjoy creative cocktails and craft beers.
• Old Rule: Meals are about menus.
• New Rule: It’s all about snacking, grazing, and sampling – social dining that caters to specific diets. For the full run-down of the trends, head to http://goo.gl/VXukDx
