Successful hospitality designers and facility
owners understand that when guests form an
emotional connection with a property, it can
have a huge impact on revenue. Just like reading
a book can immerse a person into the author’s
world, developing a gravitating story concept
and effectively integrating it into the overall
hospitality design will not only entice guests to
visit the property, it envelops guests in the overall
experience and keeps them coming back. Through
