In this episode, we have a chat with Cheryl Durst, CEO of the International Interior Design Association. First, we discuss a few practical ways in which hoteliers can use design strategies to improve staff and guest experiences. We then learn about the power of having purpose when making design choices for team spaces and guest rooms; investment strategies a hotel might use when considering a design update; and the impacts – some surprising – that a design choice may have on a hotel, including in staff operations. We finish off our conversation on the topic of how hoteliers can benefit from using a “design mindset” when seeking to improve hotel operations and elevate the overall staff and guest experience.

Unpacking Travel is back with a special dual episode blog to kick off a new season! To kick things off we asked designers that help build and refine hotel physical spaces what we can do better about leveraging our physical hotel spaces differently. They then teach us how to improve our staff and guest experiences through design, and the impact design has on staff and guest wellbeing. Check out the episodes below and learn how you can apply more design methods to elevate your operations and experiences today!
