@BestWestern A2 American Express’s new Centurion Lounges brought lots of new and interesting design elements to the airport lounge scene #TravelSkills

A2. I'd argue that almost every brand is investing in design now. Budget offerings are drafting off Ian Schraeger et al #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers Supposedly. What's happening now is segmentation of travelers --- everyone at the Thompson was 20 or 30-something and even staff did not make us feel welcome (older than this) and I guess a cool bar or lobby matters more?! #TravelSkills

replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC Hotels have always cared WAAAAAAY too much about their lobbies. I'm not sleeping in the lobby. #travelskills

replying to @COtravelGirl @COtravelGirl You meant if the travel editor thing AND the game show host thing both don't work out, right? ;-) #TravelSkills

A2. We think that @CelebrityCruise excels in this area. With Nate Burkus as the design ambassador for the new Edge, they have really put a focus on design. #travelskills

replying to @COtravelGirl @COtravelGirl Yep! See @BestWestern's Vib and Glo brands #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers A2. I've had interesting/weird design experiences at W hotels and St. Regis. But I think @Airstream_Inc has a pretty keen eye for designing accomodations. ☺️ #TravelSkills

replying to @COtravelGirl @COtravelGirl Very true - and very smart of them! Especially when social media can play a huge part in bringing customers. Who doesn't want to take nice pics of their gorgeous hotel? #TravelSkills

replying to @Heather_Poole Be who you are and stop worrying about your “brand”. If you’re shit, be the best shit you can be. Ryan Air is a perfect example of this. You can’t hide behind the new silk scarves or pretty bouquets of flowers. #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @BestWestern I'm constantly impressed by the design at Schiphol in Amsterdam -- lots of quirky and attractive seating areas and restaurant spaces #travelskills

A3. Design elements that make a hotel special? Elements of whimsy or that make you think, not just lull you into relaxation. #travelskills @W_Guangzhou

A3. @ProjectRunway ‘s @NickVerreos1 visited #TodaysBW HQ to learn about detail elements that go into every BW location: https://t.co/lqRfsCGf3W 🌎🌍🌏 What do you think makes a hotel feel more like home? #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers @CaitlinKellyNYC Could not agree more! Nothing drives me crazier thn a beautiful lobby paired with an awful room! #TravelSkills

A2. Also, some of the new @HiltonHotels properties have some very nice design elements. #travelskills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis I like when hotels offer little luxuries like heated bathroom floors or heated towel racks. I also appreciate practical elements, too, like easy to reach outlets by the bed #TravelSkills
JohnnyJet
replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A3 The ones that create a clear path from the bed to the bathroom so you don’t trip over anything in the middle of the night when you need to use the loo #TravelSkills

A3: We always love when hotels incorporate elements of the local culture. #TravelSkills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A3 To me, it’s the “little things” that make a big difference. Like easy-to-access power, a thermostat that doesn’t take an engineering degree to figure out...#TravelSkills

replying to @theplanetd @theplanetd A2 #TravelSkills I'm a little obsessed with @WANDRD_Official's new travel journal.

A3 Really good bed linen (quality thread count) minimalist design, yet chic and thinking of the little things - USB chargers, soft towels, good sound proofing #TravelSkills

A2 I’ve never been disappointed by the designs in a @RitzCarlton brand hotel. This one in @RCChicago @ChooseChicago has so many appealing features, but I swooned over the Candy Cart. The DC Ritz Carltons are beautiful and welcoming too! #Travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A2 I stayed at @AloftHotels for the 1st time this summer and was really impressed with the design of the lobby. After a long day of travel, the space is very energizing. #TravelSkills

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers @CaitlinKellyNYC Especially in Europe. I've been in hotels where the lobby was like a palace and my room was like a prison cell #travelskills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A3 Another small thing that makes me happy: When hotel shower bottles are labeled in print large enough for me to read without glasses #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A3. The view! You can book a hotel/apartment rental anywhere with a bed, a bathroom, but a view is something that can make any stay really special! #TravelSkills
