*“The biggest mistake hotel owners make with art—are you guilty?”* When it comes to decorating your hotel, art plays a bigger role than you might think. But there’s one mistake I see many hotel owners make—choosing generic, mass-produced art. It might seem like the easy option, but it can actually hurt your hotel’s image and guest experience. Generic art doesn’t tell a story. It doesn’t connect with your guests or make them feel like they’re in a unique space. In fact, it can make your hotel feel like every other place they’ve stayed in. On the other hand, carefully selected abstract art can make a room feel special, giving it character and helping guests form a memorable connection. Your hotel should stand out, and the art you choose can help you achieve that. By selecting custom or high-quality pieces, you’re showing guests that you care about every detail of their experience. It’s those small touches that can make all the difference! #ArtMistakes #BrandIdentity #HotelArt

Why should industries care about sensory experiences? Because they transform interactions from great to unforgettable. Take the hospitality industry as an example. 🌟 Sight & Sound: Walk into a hotel room where the lighting adjusts to your mood and a calming soundscape welcomes you. Pan Pacific London has mastered this, turning sensory design into luxury. 👃 Smell & Taste: That first breath when you enter a lobby—it matters. Intercontinental Hotels have a signature scent that lingers in your memory long after you’ve checked out. 🔮 Sixth Sense: How do you create spaces that spark creativity and intuition? At QC Terme Spas, the atmosphere is designed to help guests reconnect with themselves, making every visit a sensory escape. At the heart of every great experience is how it makes you feel. How can your industry tap into the power of the senses to create lasting connections? #sixsensesmethod #hospitality #sensorymarketing
