  How’s the St Regis in Mayfair coming along, I wonder…?

    Very slowly. Highly doubt it will open this year sadly.

  Tempo actually sounds like a fairly appealing brand for the regular Gen Z/Millennial traveller. AS someone that travels weekly, most hotel gyms are not up to par, and that’s an incredibly important aspect to me – alongside decent working spaces (fine if there is an exec lounge, less fine if not).

  Having checked, the US chain seems to have some rooms that have a Peloton inside (at a premium, of course…). Interesting concept, but bizarrely that’s a specific room category and you lose it if you go for a deluxe or suite.

    I think a lot of the major chains offer that in certain sites, I’m sure I had it in a Hilton somewhere and Andaz Liverpool Street definitely does

      Canopy London City offers this in certain rooms, although it did mean that one time, they gave me a Diamond upgrade to exactly the same room, but with a peloton!

  Tempo description just reads like a series of AI generated buzzwords!

  For anyone interested, according to the Hilton branding portfolio document, the ‘COMPETITIVE SET’ for Tempo is ‘AC Hotels, aloft, Cambria Hotels, Hotel Indigo.’ Hopefully that will give an idea of the market segment this brand is targeting.

  It is set a level below other brands in its lifestyle section Canopy, Curio and Graduate and on the same par within ‘Lifestyle’ as Tapestry. Motto is a rung below still.

  With Marriott in London asking around £400-£500 and upwards for a night I simply can’t find the appeal of spending £000s to stay for a few days across a couple of rooms.

  If someone had seriously said that a couple of rooms, a good day out for lunch and dinner with liberal wine and daily expenses could cost £2000 a day, I would have suggested they check into the loony bin. Yet here we are !

    And occupancy remains high.

    We are doing 9 nights in Spain just before Easter and the hotel bill alone (two rooms, admittedly, due to the kids) is €12,000. Admittedly these are five star hotels but still …. best give Holy Week a miss if you’re looking for good deals.

    The IHG CEO was interviewed in The Times today and said that London hotels perform ludicrously well because planning issues are acting as a brake on new supply.

    My private 8 hrs Tokyo tour cost £1k and I believe it was worth it. It just depends what service you want? If you want the best service and to be able to do what you want in whatever time you want then you need to spend.
