One of the best things about our industry is that it is

always evolving. It's what keeps us at HD on our toes, and is
why we look forward to our annual trends issue, where we
take stock of the major shifts influencing hospitality.
To be honest, we could have showcased 50 different
ideas, but we instead narrowed it down to a dozen topics
with a few examples to whet your appetite. (Head to
hospitalitydesign.com for more of what we think is on the
cutting edge of design.)
Some takeaways: experience still reigns; technology
continues to foster community, but at the same time, there is a movement to
disconnect, resulting in more glamping-type resorts in remote destinations;
airports and cruise ships are undergoing a renaissance of sorts as travelers
expect more; with Millennials now having kids, schools are more aligned with
communal spaces than traditional classrooms; the co-everything phenomenon
is infiltrating everything from workspaces to apartment buildings; in the wake
of climate change and overpopulation, sustainable design finds a greater good;
luxury residential spaces now feel more like hotels, with amenities to drool over;
inventive wellness concepts are making it easier for people to concentrate on
their health; next-generation housing is looking better by the minute; and brickand-mortar retail is back, but with a hospitality-hybrid twist.
The good news is that not only is our industry continuing to grow and
redefine itself, but hospitality's reach into various design disciplines is ongoing.
I also had the opportunity to sit down with sbe founder Sam Nazarian. He
opens up about building the SLS brand through the recession, his collaboration
with Philippe Starck, repositioning Morgans Hotel Group, and the expansion
possibilities that come with his new partnership with Accor. It's his first designcentric interview since the 50 percent acquisition, and we are excited to share
this candid conversation with you.
We realized that we are privy to some amazing conversations, which inspired
us to launch our own podcast. In What I've Learned, I sit down with industry vets
and visionaries to hear their incredible stories of how they got their start, how
they ended up where they are today, and the lessons learned along the way. They
are fun and informational, and something I am thrilled to share with you. You
can download on your podcast platform of choice (just search Hospitality Design)
and rate and review us! It may make for some good holiday listening.
Speaking of which, from all of us here at HD, we wish you the happiest of
holidays and a wonderful new year. We look forward to seeing you in 2019!
