Kor’s latest brand expansion relies on design as a principal pillar in the company’s mission, and as a driving force and value proposition behind the Viceroy and Tides brands. This discussion highlights design as a differentiator (exploring RevPAR, food and beverage success, and media coverage); design as value proposition (third-party management success); the next level of design (Viceroy and Tides projects worldwide, increased revenue opportunities); and how architects and interior designers such as Kelly Wearstler, Legorreta + Legorreta, and Jean Michel Gathy fit with Kor’s vision. It is reinvention that transcends “boutique” success and arrives at world-class luxury. Introducer: Stacy Shoemaker Rauen, Senior Managing Editor, Hospitality Design magazine Presenter: Nicholas Clayton, President, Kor Hotel Group GreenShieldTM: ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY TExTILE FINISHES 1.0 LU HSW; .1 CEU HSW Learn how green nanotechnology principles, which both respect and seek to emulate natural processes, are used for the development of new finishes for hospitality textiles that are friendly to the environment and to their users. The emerging field of green nanotechnology is focused on advancing the development of clean technologies, minimizing potential environmental and human health risks, and encouraging the replacement of existing products with new green nanoproducts that are more environmentally friendly throughout their life cycles. In addition, learn how biomimicry is used in the development process and its impact on creating products that function more like ecosystems—in which benign materials are used widely, wastes are recycled, and energy is used efficiently. Learn how to use the GreenShieldTM platform to develop a water-, oil-, and stain-resistant finish for textiles that utilizes the principle of nano-roughness and reduces, by as much as 90 percent, the need for harmful fluorochemicals in stain-resistant textile finishes. Explore the results of an ongoing research program jointly conducted with Cornell University to develop a fluorochemical-free formulation for soil and stain repellency on textiles.
