Boutique Hotel News

Thank you Eloise Hanson and Boutique Hotel News , for a thoughtful conversation in today’s webinar, with Kevin Wash of VOS Consultants joining as one of the speakers. As you rightly highlighted, there is still a great deal of work ahead for the Branded Residences sector, particularly in understanding how the category is evolving, what today’s buyers genuinely value, and how the original service-led concept should continue to shape its future. For us, One thought feels particularly important: Branded Residences deserve a more thoughtful reading of the original concept. They were not conceived simply to place a prestigious name on a residential development, but to bring service, standards and a genuine hospitality experience into private living. That deserves to be understood, communicated and protected more carefully, both in the way the product is presented to buyers and in the way the category is positioned in the market. Because ultimately, the value of a Branded Residence should be found not only in the brand attached to it, but in what that brand makes possible for the life of the resident. #BrandedResidences #SalesExcellence #CommercialArchitecture

Branded residences have become an increasingly important part of the work we do at Property Platform, so we’re proud to be shortlisted for Strategic Partner of the Year in the inaugural Global Branded Residence Awards. This particular recognition means a lot to us because partnership has always been at the heart of how we work. Every project is different. Our role is to understand what the developer, brand and sales team are trying to achieve, build around those needs, and stay close to the team as the project and sales journey evolve. The strongest work comes from that kind of collaboration. We’ve been fortunate to do that alongside some extraordinary hospitality brands, developers, architects, creative teams and sales teams around the world. Thank you to Boutique Hotel News and the Global Branded Residence Awards for recognizing the work happening across this growing part of the industry. The virtual awards ceremony takes place on October 2. Register to watch: https://lnkd.in/eTnrMw_y
