To be a contender in the highly competitive five-⭐ market in central London, all luxury hotels need ONE key ingredient... 👇👀 📺 Watching episode 3 of the 2017 documentary "A Very British Hotel" covering The Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park. Since they opened in the year 2000, the number of hotels in London had nearly DOUBLED in 2017 and they are competing with 50 other five-star hotels for basically the same guests. Q: What is important for you? ◾ "When I stay in a hotel, the most important thing I want to see is that staff are curious." ◾ "For me, it's the staff, it's the people jumping at your whim as soon as you ask for something." ◾ "When delivering luxury, if you don't come across in a genuine way, or in a helpful way.. people [guests] will spot it immediately." ✔ The hotel's Ambassador is essential when it comes to bringing in important guests - the secret weapon of the hotel. In an ambassadorial fashion, Mr Bentley is the top dog of networking, and was to a very large extent responsible for the late Queen choosing the hotel - the Mandarin Oriental - for the dinner the night before William and Catherine's wedding. 🤵 Mr Bentley knows people, knows things - and it is all about personal relationships. Great takeaways for estate agents. Don't be transactional - be personal! 💜 #LittorinMeansLondon #Islington #EstateAgent
