In today's fast-evolving hospitality landscape, guest experience is no longer a perk—it's the product. Travelers aren't just looking for a bed to sleep in; they crave a stay that feels personalized, responsive, and above all, human. That's why the most successful hotel leaders are those who view feedback not as a formality, but as a fuel for growth. It takes humility and hustle to embrace every comment, especially the tough ones, and transform them into actionable insight that shapes better service. One leader doing just that is Ricky Flores, Assistant General Manager of Glo Best Western, whose hands-on approach to guest engagement is the focus of this episode of Rising To Every Occasion by Visual Matrix.

YYForce robots projected to cut selected costs 10% at 772-room Singapore hotels

YYForce robots projected to cut selected costs 10% at 772-room Singapore hotels

YYForce will roll out service robots across the 772-room Novotel and Mercure Singapore on Stevens hotel precinct. A pre-deployment model projects about 10% lower monthly costs in selected operations, robot costs already counted, a figure finance teams can test. Humanoid robots stay a separate research phase.

  • 01The projected 10% drop in monthly operating costs at the Stevens hotels already includes the robots' own cost, so finance teams can check it against real results after rollout.
  • 02Lift integration, route mapping, network coverage and guest arrival notifications are the named prep work. That puts engineering and IT on a hotel robot rollout as much as housekeeping.
  • 03Humanoid robots are still research: training so far does not show they can do complete housekeeping or restroom cleaning alone, and the confirmed first phase focuses on specialized delivery, logistics and cleaning robots.

Leonardo Hotels rebuilds its development team to absorb 28 new hotels in 2026

Leonardo Hotels rebuilds its development team to absorb 28 new hotels in 2026

About 20 properties from the former Revo portfolio are among the 28 hotels Leonardo Hotels Central Europe expects to add in 2026. The high volume of parallel work was one of the major reasons for the team changes. New development leads for the Nordics, Italy and Central Europe show where the group plans to buy and grow.

  • 01Leonardo Hotels Central Europe is running a heavy load of hotel projects in parallel: 28 new hotels in 2026 plus roughly 30 older conversions and renovations, with several advanced new builds set to launch next year.
  • 02In the Nordics, the stated preference is for existing hotels in capital cities that can move into one of Leonardo's seven brands relatively quickly, through purchase or lease.
  • 03Partnership IV is expected to total €800 million to €1 billion; Partnership III had reached €542 million by January 2025, and Leonardo expects around 20 acquisitions in 2027.

Spire Hospitality puts hotel IT, forecasting and AI under one executive

Spire Hospitality puts hotel IT, forecasting and AI under one executive

Spire Hospitality launched a Strategic Asset Performance division on Sept. 30, led by newly promoted SVP Shozib Khan. He now oversees IT, financial planning, hotel systems, hotel resources and transitions, brand resources, AI strategy and owner partnership. The org chart is the news. For hotel owners, the test is whether earlier forecasts become earlier action at their properties.

  • 01Spire says the challenge is tying data to decisions and execution, even as hotel firms have more data and technology than ever. The new division’s test is whether it helps flag opportunities sooner and act before month-end reporting.
  • 02The most concrete lever for owners is executive oversight for selected hotels that need extra attention. What triggers that oversight decides when senior help reaches a given property.
