Why should we crush on you?

*due to the volume of submissions, it may take us a minute or two to respond, but we will get back to you, we promise.

ABOUT

Hospitality drives culture and experience, and we have some big crushes to share. We crush on things like design & style, innovation, food & bev, furniture, technology, AI and much more.

Two industry professionals, a hotel developer and a creative innovator, come together to share their professional & personal crushes on their favorite hotels. Each episode they welcome a guest from the brand they are discussing and a celebrity guest to share their own crush. You’ll listen in anticipation, laugh, and learn about what creates a Hotel Crush. No doubt, you’ll want to go and experience it for yourself.
