This episode is perfect for not only travel enthusiasts but those that adore boutique hotels and a sense of feeling connected.
I am honored to host David Bowd, cofounder and CEO of Salt Hotels. David is a lifelong hotelier. With over 30 years in the industry, he shares his story from his first hotel role in England to the coveted experience of working alongside renowned Andre Balazs and Ian Schrager.
David shares his insights on hospitality today and inspires us with the story of Salt Hotels. What makes this Hotel model so unique, is their mission. In fact, it is quite simple: They create settings and scenarios that connect people together.
Beyond the mission of the hotel, community is the cornerstone of their values. One example of this is Salt School - an alternative education and job training to those interested in a career in hospitality. David shares how the idea evolved and the inclusive environment it creates today.
Since 2014, Salt has been building a portfolio of locations in Provincetown, Miami, Nantucket and beyond. Join me as we hear all about this beautiful brand. You will discover how it could become an extension of your lifestyle, your home – just like it has mine.
