Airbnb is Going Away: Boutique Hotels are the Future of Hospitality | Michael Zuber E408

The Airbnb gold rush is over—and boutique hotels are taking over.

In this episode, Rich sits down with Michael Zuber (One Rental at a Time) to talk about the next big wave in real estate: boutique hotels. From regulations killing short-term rentals to 40 million baby boomers retiring and selling off mom-and-pop motels, Rich breaks down why this moment mirrors Airbnb’s early days—and how investors can capitalize on it.

They cover:

• Why Airbnb supply is shrinking while hotel demand is booming
• How retiring boomers are creating a once-in-a-generation buying window
• The 3 rules for buying boutique hotels in any market cycle
• How AI and design are redefining what “hospitality” looks like
• The exact steps to transition from short-term rentals to boutique hotels

If you’ve been thinking about scaling beyond Airbnb or getting into hospitality, this episode gives you the full blueprint for what’s next.

Let’s get into it.
