Monday opened with a regulatory change most properties have not audited for. DHS has moved J-1 exchange visitors from Duration of Status to fixed admission dates, which means a delayed arrival no longer pushes the end date back, and a trainee who joins six weeks late enters a programme that has already moved past them. Headcount stays correct and compliance stays clean while the gap shows up on the floor. Starboard Hotels and LaSalle bought seven Accor-branded hotels with 913 bedrooms from Ares and EQ Group, taking Starboard past 3,000 rooms, and Bain Capital sold the Lake Como EDITION six months after it opened. Google Cloud research from 2,400 executives found returns come from embedding AI in core value-creating processes, which in hotels is not the booking page.
