We cover:

2️⃣ Designing for Emotion, Not Just Looks — How to create rooms that connect on a deeper, more memorable level.
3️⃣ Wellness Is the New Luxury — Why wellness features are no longer an add-on, but an expectation.

Whether you manage a boutique property, a luxury resort, or anything in between, this episode will give you the strategies and inspiration to turn every room into a guest magnet.
