Sonal Uberoi

What role does landscape design play in elevating the wellness experience for hotel guests?
 
 
It's a significant investment, yet landscaping often receives less attention than it deserves. Too many times, it’s treated as an afterthought rather than a fundamental element of the guest experience.
 
In today's episode, I'd like to share insights from my conversation with Scott LaMont, CEO of EDSA. We delve into the often-overlooked importance of landscaping in hospitality and its transformative potential for guest stays.

→ The Power of Community Engagement: Learn how connecting with local culture and businesses enriches the guest experience and fosters authentic connections.

→ Intentional Space Planning: Find out how thoughtful layout and design can encourage exploration and interaction among guests.

→ Practical Advice from Scott: Gain strategic insights on aligning landscape design with your hotel’s wellness offerings.


By the end of the episode, you'll see the significant impact that landscaping can have on wellness in hospitality and how to leverage it to enhance your guests' experiences.
