Thank you, Condé Nast Traveler, for featuring Hotel Ziggy in your roundup of "The World’s Best Hotels for Music Lovers!" "If the Sunset Strip had a house band, Hotel Ziggy would be the frontman. Opened in April 2022, this 108-room boutique hotel leans hard into Los Angeles' rock ‘n’ roll legacy with a raw, rebellious edge: colorful street-art murals wrap the façade and pool courtyard, while the lobby is lined with vinyl." - Ashlea Halpern for Condé Nast Traveler Read the full article: https://ow.ly/LVfL50WJ4bx

Big congrats to Jason Pirock on being recognized as a true “masterclass in hospitality” — across both marketing and operations — by none other than Adam Mogelonsky. What a well-deserved compliment from one of the best. Such a great convo with Adam and Michael J. Goldrich on the Gain Momentum podcast — they cover everything from breaking down silos across teams to creating content strategies that actually move the needle. We highly recommend tuning in if you’re rethinking how your teams collaborate, how your content connects, or how your marketing can actually drive business results.

Head of Marketing & Brand, Springboard Hospitality | Growth for Innovative Hospitality + Travel Brands
"A pure masterclass in #hospitality - both on the marketing side and the operation side." - Adam Mogelonsky Okay, now. What a compliment! Wow, we sure had some great conversation covering quite the spectrum of #hotelmarketing in today's environment. Huge thank you to Adam & Michael J. Goldrich for hosting me on the Growth Advisors International Network - GAIN #GAIN Momentum podcast. 𝙰̲ ̲𝚏̲𝚎̲𝚠̲ ̲𝚗̲𝚞̲𝚐̲𝚐̲𝚎̲𝚝̲𝚜̲:̲ ✅ Break down the silos. Take a commercial approach that looks at total property performance vs. evaluating by discipline. There's far too much interdependency. By looking at the same reporting together, speaking the same language together, analyzing together, strategizing together and being held accountable together, there's a higher success rate of moving the needle - 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿. 💡 Operations and F&B are just as much commercial as sales, revenue and marketing. ✅ A wholistic state of mind when it comes to your content strategy. Think omnichannel vs. a single channel when producing your assets. This creates consistency in your story-telling efforts wherever your brand shows up. ✅ Showing value beyond the booking engine. Educating the sales team on how marketing can drive leads, not just design collateral. Partnering with revenue on a more balanced and strategic approach to direct and OTA efforts. Reducing overhead by adopting AI tools that make us more efficient. I also had a chance to speak more about advising and working with Wanderland London on their mission to tap into the kids and teens segment to help #hoteliers drive ADR, drive loyalty and ultimately LTV.

Last week was an exciting one for the Green Lady Cocktail Room team! Several team members attended the Tales of the Cocktail Conference in New Orleans, representing Green Lady as a 2025 nominee for Best Hotel Bar – U.S. West. While we didn’t take home the award, it was an incredible experience to connect with industry leaders and celebrate with the cocktail community. Green Lady continues to draw attention both locally and nationally. Here are a few of our favorite recent features: • “Cool Honolulu Hotel Bars Even Locals Love” – HAWAII Magazine • “The Best Speakeasy Bar in Every State” – Tasting Table • “O‘ahu Travel Tips for Avoiding Tourists and Exploring Like a Local” – Los Angeles Times

Very exciting day for the team members who have been working on this project to bring the first AC Hotels by Marriott to Kansas. Congratulations Hotel Equities!
We are thrilled to announce the opening of the first AC Hotels by Marriott in Kansas. Located in the historic Old Town district, the AC Hotel Wichita Downtown is housed in the beautifully reimagined Brown/Broadway Plaza building — originally built in 1929 and quickly became the central hub for local businesses. In fact, it was home to the Russell Stover Chocolates Candy Shop for over 50 years. We are proud to partner with owners, SPARTAN DOWNTOWN LLC, and Marriott International to contribute to the city’s growth and revitalization. The hotel is managed by Greenwood Hospitality, a strategic partner of Hotel Equities. #HotelEquities #HE #ExcellenceInHospitality #HotelManagement #Wichita #Kansas

It's amazing to see that our two most recent hotel openings have not gone unnoticed. Thank you Condé Nast Traveler for featuring The Wildbirch Hotel and voco The Shelby in your 'The Most Exciting Hotel Openings of Summer 2025' roundup. On The Wildbirch Hotel: "Local touches are integrated throughout the common spaces, whether that’s locally-roasted coffee at the lobby café, Canteen, or seasonal Alaskan ingredients at the restaurant Crimson. Upstairs, rooms are optimized for post-adventure unwinding, with cozy touches like Illy coffee makers and retro mini fridges, to Jonathan Adler bath amenities and plush bathrobes." On voco The Shelby: "This cheeky newcomer from IHG is named for Shelby Ann Byrne, a renowned hostess and grande dame from Myrtle Beach—and it feels like this hotel is jockeying for some grande dame status of its own. Retro-inspired, sweetly pastel rooms with ocean views, a forthcoming pickleball club, live music on the beachfront on weekends—what’s not to love? This hotel is truly leading the charge in giving Myrtle Beach a contemporary makeover, from its overall design story, down to the smaller details like Apotheke bath amenities and La Colombe coffee."
