A round up of ten of the most prominent hotel designers today including Kelly Wearstler, Pierre Yves Rochon, Alberto Pinto, Hirsch Bedner and Yabu Pushelberg.
Hotels are one of the oldest symbols of luxury, so much so that Coco Chanel famously chose The Paris Ritz as her home for over thirty years. In the accessible age of luxury e-commerce and iPad applications, hotels have survived and prospered in remaining truly exclusive experiences, the quintessential definition of luxury.
Where the affluent choose to rest their heads, when on business, holiday or simply escaping the daily grind, is where some of the most unique, elaborate and luxurious designs in architecture and interior design can be found. Luxury Society investigated the creative minds behind these opulent concepts and presents a round up of ten of the most prominent hotel designers today. For a complete listing of luxury interior designers, we invite you to explore the Luxury Society directory.

LOS FACTORES CULTURALES Y LA EXPORTACIÓN

Los factores culturales constituyen un reto a superar en el momento de exportar. Aunque las personas son demasiado complejas para ser entendidas, podemos realizar un cuadro general de características de la cultura a la que se pretende vender con éxito un producto. Por ejemplo, mientras que en los Estados Unidos y el Norte de Europa el tiempo es dinero, en Medio Oriente todas las cosas de la vida deben tratarse en los términos de su propio tiempo, las negociaciones son duraderas y tienen como principal objetivo hacer que las partes se conozcan. Algo parecido sucede con la palabra de las personas, mientras que para los primeros la palabra no basta y debe constar por escrito, para los segundos la palabra es un contrato que será respetado. La habilidad para comunicarnos en nuestro propio idioma no es tarea fácil. Pero cuando cambia el idioma y la cultura, se presentarán retos adicionales para la comunicación.

El propósito de los Incoterms es el de proveer un grupo de reglas internacionales para la interpretación de los términos mas usados en el Comercio internacional.

Curating the Ultimate Luxury Hotel Experience

Hotel du Marc Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Sophie Maxwell, Insight Director at Pearlfisher, investigates how the shift from owning luxury to experiencing luxury is impacting luxury hotels A recent study by the Boston Consulting Group ( BCG ) identified a shift from “owning a luxury to experiencing a luxury” with bespoke treats now accounting for more than half of the $1.4tn spent on luxury goods and services last year (The Guardian).

4+3: Rethinking the Ps of marketing

Product ,  Placement ,  Price  and  Promotion  – these are the four Ps of marketing. The 4Ps of marketing, also known as the  producer-oriented   model , have been used by marketers around the world for decades. The growing influence of the internet has made these classic principles look a bit archaic in light of the new relationship that businesses have with customers. In a day where customers seem to know everything about your business, the old marketing mix that the 4Ps offers is increasingly at odds with how business is done today. PLACE – IT’S NOT ABOUT PLACE, IT’S ABOUT  ANY PLACE In an age where many businesses operate around always-on, high speed Internet access, “place” is irrelevant. When you can dip into almost the entirety of the world’s knowledge from the phone in your pocket, you’re always able to research, buy and advocate. It’s not about place any longer. Now,  it’s about access . The information consumers...
