Q10: Roundtable topic: hotelier Ian Schrager talked about "extrovert" hotels (buzzy, fun, high-energy) and "introvert" hotels (low-key, old-school, formal). Which do you fancy, and why? #TWchats

A10: Adventure travel in small groups is an intense bonding experience, so "introvert" hotels are the preference with our staff! We use the hotel for unwinding, relaxing, and preparing for tomorrow, so busy common areas and tons of activities feel unnecessary. #TWChats

A10: I’m very definitely in what Ian calls the “introverted” camp, but I dispute the term. I’m not introverted! I just like to relax, to slow time down and enjoy the quiet and daydream, not have some crap music pumped into me like intravenous meth. #TWchats

A10 There's room for both. Most people have a combination of both traits in them! #TWchats

A10 (1/2): At this stage in my life, I usually prefer the latter, with a wonderful recent staycation at @thelowellhotel here in NYC coming to mind. #TWChats https://t.co/ZhAqllfuHV

A10: Like many others, I assume, it depends on mood, location. Now my mood must be indecisive – so introverted for the moment. #TWChats

A10. Depends on if we're traveling solo or as part of a group! If solo, "buzzy" ticks all the boxes - love feeding off the energy and social atmosphere. In a couple/family, sometimes we prefer to retreat together, and a more introverted property is perfect. #TWchats

A10 An extrovert craves an extroverted hotel—but of course I fancy that right now. I haven’t been in a crowd in 2 months! Give me a whisky in a New Orleans lobby any day. #TWchats @afarmedia

A10 (2/2): But I think it’s possible for hotels, particularly non-urban ones, to mix and match these qualities, and now I’m thinking about a recent trip my family took to @GoldenEyeResort in Jamaica. #TWchats https://t.co/o4M3UnuGso

A10: We like to think that #JumbyBayIsland appeals to travelers of all types! Itineraries can include everything from “high-energy” water sports to “low-key” dips in the pool. #TWchats

replying to @KGlowczewska A10: Depends. I stayed years ago one night at the “introvert” Connaught, in London. I ordered scrambled eggs in the restaurant. I have never been served something so ordinary so masterfully. But what fun, too, to walk into the buzzy lobby of @LaMamounia in Marrakech… #TWchats

A10: While we’re typically an “extroverted” bunch, we've recently gravitated towards daydreams of the old-school glamour and alpine coziness of @GstaadPalace. We would happily tuck away to the Swiss Alps, with a book and a bite of truffle and champagne cheese in hand. #TWchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A10: Introvert for sure! More charm and history. And depending on the country the building could be hundreds of years old. Much more welcoming than some uppidy glass building designed by some fancy architecture firm #TWChats

A10: We love @InterConHotels The Willard Washington D.C., where you can sip a classic cocktail at the coveted Round Robin Bar, one of the oldest bars in D.C. #TWChats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A10) both are good in their own ways. I will tend to probably stay at the extrovert resorts more but only because I like more fun and high energy type of environment but the introvert resorts are just as great too. You need a balance #TWChats

replying to @CNTraveler @CNTraveler A10. As I’ve already said, I value my anonymity when travelling. I just want to collect my key and find my room so I can drop my suitcase and hit the streets. The hotel itself isn’t a huge priority of mine. That said, I do always appreciate a roof terrace. #TWChats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A10 #TWchats I’m an extreme extrovert so NYC’s lockdown is killing me. Post pandemic, I still would love an extrovert hotel but with outdoor gatherings - incl bars/cafes/coffee shops - with proper social distancing.
