Q5: Roundtable topic: Equinox, Taco Bell, Bulgari are among consumer brands that have entered hospitality. What have you seen them do that’s right? And which brand(s) SHOULD get in, but haven’t yet? #TWchats

A5: We'd love to see @patagonia or another athleisure brand like @prAna run a sustainable, zero-waste hotel. The ones that do it right enter the space to answer a lifestyle need their audience has - one that is pivotal to their brand promise. #TWChats

A5 I think the great chefs will and should --- Massimo Bottura has a small boutique hotel in Italy. I would definitely stay at a Daniel Boulud hotel. They understand the magic and theater of hospitality. The food would be destination worthy alone!#TWchats https://t.co/xq2LS26dmE

A5 Thinking about dominant brands that are thriving and could perhaps try their hand at hospitality, @Apple and @onepeloton jump to mind. But I think the legacy hotel brands will have a lot going for them in the recovery phase: trust and expertise will count for a lot. #TWchats

A5 I like that @Equinox feels like a natural extension of the brand, not just a gimmick. It’s a leader in wellness & a big part of hospitality is wellness these days (and self-care). I’d like to see @IanSchrager get in the cruise business. :) #twchats @afarmedia

replying to @KGlowczewska A5: Love the Bulgari brand—just the hand-crafted, restrained voluptuousness of it. But I think Tesla should really get into hospitality. Sustainability needs to be made sexy in the travel space. If anyone can do it, it’s Elon Musk. #TWchats

A5: Wellness and hospitality go hand in hand! The Jumby Bay Spa team values our partnership with @TataHarper - Liquid Gold Organic Massage, anyone? #JumbyBayIsland #TWchats

A5: An early entrant – @CuisinArt – did a great job on #Anguilla, tho haven’t been back in 20 years. And if @TacoBell could do it, why not @ChefJoseAndres? #TWChats

A5: Equinox prioritized getting a good night’s sleep and clean living—the ethos of the fitness brand extended into the walls of the hotels. - @jacquigiff #TWchats https://t.co/3qq7UYqwzK

A5: These brands know their niche and tailor their programming and offerings accordingly. In the travel space, there are few that do this as well as @sunrisespringNM. From soaking in spring-fed pools to embracing Silkie Chickens - there is an experience for everyone. #TWchats

replying to @TandCmag @TandCmag A5: Now may not be the time for non-hospitality brands to enter the market. Unless #Chlorox decides to "bleach" the gap...#twchats

A5, #TWChats: "Live the life of your favorite Instagram star house, without the haters in the comments!" Late millennial/early Gen Z appeal?

@bulgarihotels, each have stayed true to their roots and carried their brand flawlessly into the hospitality industry. #TWChats

replying to @findinganeish @CNTraveler A5. My favourite airport is Geneva. I love the free rail connections, the exercise bicycles that double as phone chargers and, most of all, the supermarket. Why do all airports not contain a supermarket? #TWChats
