SPECIAL REPORT
DOMINATING THE NEW PLAYING FIELDS
The influence that Airbnb , upscale hostels , co-working spaces and concepts like mindfulness are having on the traveling public begs the question , “ Is hospitality fundamentally being redefined ?” To gain greater insight about the new directions hoteliers are taking to compete , HOTELS gathered eight industry leaders for a roundtable hosted by The Wall Street Journal to discuss hot topics of the day , including co-working and wellness , as well as how to best deploy emerging technology . At the end of the day , how much is success tied to creating a more sophisticated mousetrap or does it all still boil down to great locations , great amenities and the best service ?
