In my many years in the hospitality industry I had the privilege to work in many hotels!
I was exposed to Leading Hotels of the World, SLH, Boutique properties, Designer hotels, and many other 4 to 5 star properties.
In my career as manager and hotel consultant, I have been involved in close to 30 hotel and resort openings, so, I know that I am in a good position to write down some facts which might help hotel owners, developers and investors here in Thailand and south-east Asia.
The two most important comments – to keep in mind – I want to say right in the beginning!
”Some of the best architects and designers do NOT know ANYTHING about hotels, resorts, about service, operation, comfort, hospitality, work flow etc.”
“Most architects and designers do NOT CARE AT ALL if your hotel will actually be ‘workable’ and ‘profitable’ – they will blame ‘Lack of service’!

Our previous articles did focus on hotel owners and investor’s shortcomings, their habits and mistakes.
This article I like to focus on the shortcomings of some general managers. A general manager is a leading position that can lead to either failure or success.
The below are some of the comments we get from hotel owners and investors when they are talking to us about their hotel manager or general manager here in Thailand.
We trust that you see our articles as a benefit for hoteliers, owners and investors at all times. However, knowing the industry well, I foresee that this article might well trigger lots of comments.

After actively participating for 18 hotel openings as a manager and hotel consultant, I am somehow surprised about the fact that most independent hotel investors unintentionally – but also intentionally – make exactly the same mistakes over and over again which always turn out to be very costly!
I am writing down these “top 10” mistakes in a hope that this list might help some developers and owners.
As we are hotel consultants, we sincerely believe that a consultant must be the most honest, transparent, straight-forward and therefore most trustworthy person close to the owners and investors.
A consultant’s intention should NEVER be to keep hotel owners and investors ‘in the dark’! A true consultant must educate advice and provide samples of good and bad practices. A hotel consultant must also be a good teacher – not a lecturer! We must guide and use all channels of communication to pass on knowledge to others. We choose to write articles in a hope that it helps and inspires others.

As a hotel consultant based here in Thailand, I frequently observe hotel and resort owners and senior managers informing employees that it is the owners or managements wish that everyone should work as a big family! Even every new employee is informed that this is the owners wish and concept!
It all sounds so good, so sweet, so kind and so inviting, doesn’t it?

I did have a discussion with a hotel owner who claims
that his hotel is a ‘green’ (environmental friendly) hotel and he wants some
advice on how to advertise this with the media and tour operators.
I need to mention that I am a true fan of any hotel owner
who is focusing on sustainable tourism and environmental friendly concepts.

Back in March, I blogged about "The Idiot from Corporate"
and corporate poobah visits to branch locations. Experienced managers
know that there is more than one kind of idiot from corporate. Emails
over the last several months have convinced me that we need to break
the down the group into identifiable sub-groups. Feel free to suggest
your own.
The Sea Gull. The Sea Gull flies in, makes a lot of noise, dumps on everybody, and leaves.
