One more thing about “brands”. The employees make the brand. Treat your employees well and you’ll never have to think about “the brand” again. Treat employees well and you’ll never have to hire marketing people to fix “the brand” #TravelSkills

A3. Design elements that include good lighting, and USB ports (see @JohnnyJet's tip a few moments ago) really help us when we travel. Also, a good room layout where furniture isn't in unexpected places! #travelskills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A3 I like a bright hotel hallway. Those dark, disco-y black-light, beaty-music hallways are SO 1995! #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A3: one area that often gets overlooked is the elevator area. Having a grand waiting area at The US Grant made me happy every time I had to leave my floor #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A3 Anything that acknowledges that we, the guests, are tired and don't want to have to stop and think about how to turn on the nightstand light, or how to turn on the shower without being scalded or frozen. Make it intuitive! #travelskills

While we're complaining, hotel rooms with lights that require a manual to operate may be cool in theory, but in practice they're a nightmare. Just give me a switch please. #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A3: Silence! The last thing I want to hear is other people and their (!??) slamming doors -- so doors that close quietly matter. I want very good/efficient lighting, a desk that functions and no bathrooms with glass walls. Ugh. #Travelskills

A2 I'd also mention @VikingCruises -- love the way they applied their classic Scandinavian styling to their ocean ships, lots of wood, airy spaces and conversation areas #TravelSkills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A4 My favorite is Singapore Changi and Hong Kong. But Copenhagen is beautifully designed, too. I love the natural light and flooring in CPH. #TravelSkills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A4 I’m astounded (and a little embarrassed) by how gorgeous & well-designed Asian airports are compared to those in the U.S. #TravelSkills

I love a hotel that just goes for it, whatever it is. Whether it’s books, or simplicity or island motif. I love a hotel that embraces its surroundings and reflects the culture of the town o or city. I love when I can sit on a balcony and the vacation comes to me. #TravelSkills https://t.co/cmjkxOIvKx

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A3 I love a big, open lobby when I visit a tropical locale. The Grand Waikikian has a beautiful lobby where I could feel the cool Honolulu breeze. #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills #TravelSkills its a factor...I generally prefer midsize Boutique hotels with rooftops, rooftop pools and community areas. A good bar or restaurant...a bonus. Following sustainable practices a bonus.

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern TIP Always show up to the airport early so you don’t chance missing your flight—but also so you can explore what the airport is offering. Many airports have incredible features that make them destinations in themselves. #TravelSkills

replying to @BestWestern @BestWestern A4 India’s Bombay and Delhi airports recently got stunning new terminals—but they also kept older, less lovely terminals, too #TravelSkills

A4. Any airport that can integrate tech and design is good in our books. ✈️🙌 With innovations like monorails and hyperloops, do you think airports are still the future of travel? https://t.co/2K0RluXuGM #TravelSkills #TodaysBW

A4. Best designed airport? Big fan of #SFO for Term. 2, back corredors between terminals, museum exhibits, great food options, public art, the air train and the connection to BART. #TravelSkills @FlySFO
