replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A4 #TWChats I think there’ll be more interest in private villa vacations.

replying to @jesseashlock @jesseashlock I agree. I'm not sure how home stays (AirBnb, VRBO, etc) will weather this and that makes me a little bit sad. #TWChats

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

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A2) My trip in November to Miami. I stayed at Aloft Brickel and it was amazing. Loved the rooms and the views. I had an awesome suite at the top and it was perfect pre night stay to a cruise #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
![](http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1345960453210443776/HjRfqd38_normal.jpg)
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

A3 I believe that people will try to plan trips with fewer stopovers, and may see higher prices in future so will have to save/plan
more for vacays. #TWChats https://t.co/YCxCQVerI2

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 @CNTraveler @CNTraveler A2. I’ve been hosteling for a few years now, and have been really impressed with the facilities in Luxembourg and Switzerland. My dorm in Grindelwald couldn’t have had a better view. #TWChats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A3) I think the flexibility to be able to change or cancel travel will be important. I think non refundable fares will be much harder to sell in the future #TWchats

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

Given the growing global interest in health & wellness, especially related to hospitality, it made all the sense in the world for @EquinoxHotels to do what it has done. I'd be interestged to see what an outdoor brand like @Patagonia would do in the hospitality space. #TWchats https://t.co/u9SY8S3IOC

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 @CNTraveler @CNTraveler I feel like @OluKai would excel in this - their brand caters to an overall wellness/connection to land + community experience through footwear at status quo. Hospitality seems like a natural extension. #TWChats
