Allison Reid
Chief Development Officer, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
On strategic thinking
As we assess our new landscape, we are evolving programs and amenities to support physical
distancing and public health best practices. It's vital that the hospitality industry continues to
provide people-first service and experiences. We are also keeping the door open with our guests
and listening to their feedback to minimize any blindspots in this new environment. Together, we
can continue to work toward a new way to travel comfortably, safely, and thoughtfully.
On responding to customer needs
Operators are figuring out how to clean rooms and public spaces effectively and efficiently while
controlling costs. For example, we may pull [out the minibar] temporarily and have the items
available at the front desk to minimize surface contact between guests. If the guest is looking
for wellness options, they can use our complimentary yoga mats and bikes that are disinfected
between guests. Our TVs have on-demand yoga and Pilates demos as well.
On pivoting F&B concepts
Over the last few months, we've been sharing virtual social hours on Instagram. Every week, our
bar team shares tips and tricks on a fun cocktail or spirit. We're also thinking through how best
to package and deliver our F&B without sacrificing quality and maintaining the design-forward
ethos of our brand. Like anything else in our business, we have to find the need that the customer
has and then figure out a way to solve it profitably and creatively.
Helen Jorgensen
Vice President of Design and Procurement, Host Hotels & Resorts
On recovery
While we did have reductions in the portion of our 2020 CapEx budget that wasn't already spent or
committed, we're still reinvesting in our portfolio this year. We expect renovations to position us to
achieve meaningful RevPAR gains through the next cycle, particularly since many hotel owners
have been compelled to cut back on renovations at this time. Construction bids are coming in below
budget and market pricing is expected to keep declining, so we are continuing on with our brand
improvements.
On sustainability
When people see how the earth has somehow cleansed itself [through this pandemic], I hope
sustainability and wellness become a strong force, and not just in materiality but having hotels
[reduce their] carbon footprints. I hope we can continue to make hotels a unique respite not just
personally, but also for society.
On lessons learned
Work with your partners, your brand, and your suppliers to get ahead of the situation. Don't let the
situation dictate what you have to do. Try to help manage it or guide it to where it needs to go. That
way you avoid some surprises.
