The Essence of Hospitality: Storytelling Through Scents in Hotels 🏨✨ Picture stepping into a hotel and being greeted not just with smiles, but with a fragrance that speaks volumes. At Ephèmera Firenze, we understand that the essence of a hotel lies not only in its design or service, but also in its unique scent. In my work, I've had the privilege of crafting these olfactory experiences for various hotels, turning each aroma into a sensory narrative. The fragrance that welcomes you into a hotel is not a mere detail; it's the prelude to the story the place wants to tell. 🌿 In the lobby, we choose fresh and welcoming notes that reflect the hotel's identity, greeting travelers with a sense of renewal. It's like opening the first page of an enchanting book. 🛏️ In the corridors and rooms, the scent becomes more intimate, creating an atmosphere of calm and comfort. Here, aromas of lavender and cedarwood can enhance relaxation and well-being, accompanying guests on a journey of tranquility. 🍽️ In the restaurant, each aroma is an invitation to culinary discovery. Like an olfactory dance, the scents of ingredients blend, creating a multisensory experience that enriches the dining moment. 🤔 Reflecting on these creations, I realize how each fragrance can become an unforgettable signature, a memory that guests carry with them. 💬 I invite you to share: is there an olfactory experience in a hotel that has left a mark in your memory? What role do scents play in your travel experience? #OlfactoryBranding #ScentStories #EphèmeraFirenze #ArtOfHospitality

A photo from the Chef, bringing the fresh catch and a big piece of meat, a great shot, great beach, great venue. A shot that captures an experience, a unique one and at the same time, it’s something you probably have seen before, it’s not a new idea. Why do I share? When consulting, I have being asked repeatedly, what makes the difference among hotel brands and how they gain market. And this photo is the perfect example on how to play in major leagues, Marriott Group (biggest in the world), St Regis (one of the top luxury hotel brands in the world) showcasing the Chef on the Beach… but… that Resort will open in about a year from now, they are in construction phase… they don’t talk about opening dates, they don’t talk about the investment they just transmit the experience. MKT - MKT & MKT!!

Elevating your hotel's bar experience is vital to increasing the earnings of your #hotel or parlor. Over my career working with some of the world's top luxury hotels, I've helped transform many hotel #bar programs into vibrant revenue drivers and guest experience highlights. Here are a few of my learnings on elevating your own hotel or parlor's bar experience: 📌Concept First - Every great bar starts with a distinct identity and story. Work to create a concept that feels special yet fits your hotel. Make it ownable. 📌Design for Atmosphere - Lighting, music, layout - every detail of the design should reinforce the vibe you want guests to feel. 📌Curate the Menu - Drinks and food should tie back to the concept. Include local inspiration and whimsy. 📌Hire the Right Staff - You want outgoing personalities that build rapport with guests. Hospitality mindset over experience 📌Ongoing Training - Hospitality excellence requires constant development and refreshing of your staff's skills. 📌Surprise Moments - A great bar experience has unexpected touches - tableside cocktail prep, amuse-bouches, and live music. 📌Make it a Destination - Get your bar on the map as a lively spot for both hotel guests and locals. Use marketing and PR. 📌Monitor and Tweak - Watch busy times and slow periods. Adjust music, lighting, and other details to optimize the experience. A truly excellent #bar drives revenue, guest satisfaction, and brand image. Let's talk if you'd like to breathe new life into your hotel's bar. I'd love to help craft an experience your guests can't stop discussing. https://lnkd.in/dXJPu4eB #letsconnect #barservices #hotelmanagement #hospitalitymanagement #connect
