The New Carlton Hotel Brings Back Old New York | blackbookmag.com

When I first started writing this column, one of my primary goals was to give my readers an insider look at some of the industry’s leaders, and how they approach the business. Some of these people are relatively unknown, as they allow the successful properties and brands they’ve created and promoted do all the talking. Most appear occasionally as a bold-faced name in a newspaper or magazine. Peter Chase is a player. He's the founder of BPC, which develops and manages creative hospitality concepts. His concepts have included: Skybar in Miami Beach, Wunderbar at the W Montreal, MGM Grand Casinos (MGM, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Borgata) in Las Vegas, Detroit, and Atlantic City, as well as Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood, and the W San Diego.

Will The Real Boutique Hotel Please Stand Up? | takeoffeh.com

It doesn't take long for terms to become overused in the travel business. Take 'boutique hotel' for example. The descriptor was coined less than 30 years ago as American hoteliers like Bill Klimpton and Ian Schrager created intimate, luxurious, properties. The concept caught on, especially among the 'far too hip for the Holiday Inn crowd.' Boutique hotels represented a welcome alternative to the cookie-cutter sameness of chain hotels, which take a McDonalds-style approach of delivering bland consistency even in foreign settings. Boutique hotels started out as everything the chains weren't - individual, personalized, bold, artsy and experiential.

Why pod hotels are so hot right now | news.com.au

Tiny hotel rooms are popping up all over the world, with many reporting great success. At The Jane, a tiny red-brick hotel overlooking America's Hudson River in West Village, Manhattan's ultra-bohemian neighbourhood, space is at a premium. "In my room, I can turn around, and that's about it,'' said Kai Neuhaus, 33, of Germany. With their wood panelling, velvet benches and Oriental carpets, most of the 150 rooms occupy just 50 square feet (4.6 square metres) and recalls boat cabins. A large mirror hangs on the wall to counter any claustrophobic feelings.
